In cultural anthropology, sedentism (sometimes called sedentariness; compare sedentarism) is the practice of living in one place for a long time. As of , the large majority of people belong to sedentary cultures. In evolutionary anthropology and archaeology, sedentism takes on a slightly different sub-meaning, often applying to the transition from nomadic society to a lifestyle that involves remaining in one place permanently. Essentially, sedentism means living in groups permanently in one place. The invention of agriculture led to sedentism in many cases, but the earliest sedentary settlements were pre-agricultural. Initial requirements for permanent, non-agricultural settlements For small-scale nomadic societies it can be difficult to adopt a sedentary lifestyle in a landscape without on-site agricultural or livestock breeding resources, since sedentism often requires sufficient year-round, easily accessible local natural resources. Non-agricultural sedentism requires good preservation and storage technologies, such as smoking, drying, and fermentation, as well as good containers such as pottery, baskets, or special pits in which to securely store food whilst making it available. It was only in locations where the resources of several major ecosystems overlapped that the earliest non-agricultural sedentism occurred. For example, people settled where a river met the sea, at lagoon environments along the coast, at river confluences, or where flat savanna met hills, and mountains with rivers. Criteria for the recognition of sedentism in archaeological studies In archaeology a number of criteria must hold for the recognition of either semi or full sedentism. According to Israeli archaeologist Ofer Bar-Yosef, they are as follows: 1. Increasing presence of organisms that benefit from human sedentary activities, e.g. House mice Rats Sparrows 2. Cementum increments on mammal teeth Indications that hunting took place in both winter and summer 3. Energy expenditure Leveling slopes Building houses Production of plaster Transport of undressed stones Digging of graves Shaping of large mortars In many mammals dark cementum is deposited during winter when food is scarce and light cementum is deposited in the summer when food is abundant, so the outermost cementum layer shows at which season the animal was killed. Thus if animals were killed the year around in some area it suggests that people were sedentary there. Historical regions of sedentary settlements The first sedentary sites were pre-agricultural, and they appeared during the Upper Paleolithic in Moravia and on the East European Plain between c. 25000–17000 BC. In the Levant, the Natufian culture was the first to become sedentary at around 12000 BC. The Natufians were sedentary for more than 2000 years before they, at some sites, started to cultivate plants around 10000 BC. A year-round sedentary site, with its larger population, generates a substantial demand on locally provided natural resources, a demand that may have triggered the development of deliberate agriculture. The Jōmon culture in Japan, which was primarily a coastal culture, was sedentary from c. 12000 to 10000 BC, before the cultivation of rice at some sites in northern Kyushu. In northernmost Scandinavia, there are several early sedentary sites without evidence of agriculture or cattle breeding. They appeared from c. 5300–4500 BC and are all located optimally in the landscape for extraction of major ecosystem resources; for example, the Lillberget Stone Age village site (c. 3900 BC), the Nyelv site (c. 5300 BC), and the Lake Inari site (c. 4500 BC). In northern Sweden the earliest indication of agriculture occurs at previously sedentary sites, and one example is the Bjurselet site used during the period c. 2700–1700 BC, famous for its large caches of long distance traded flint axes from Denmark and Scania (some 1300 km). The evidence of small-scale agriculture at that site can be seen from c. 2300 BC (burnt cereals of barley). Historical effects of increased sedentism Sedentism increased contacts and trade, and the first Middle East cereals and cattle in Europe, could have spread through a stepping stone process, where the productive gift (cereals, cattle, sheep and goats) were exchanged through a network of large pre-agricultural sedentary sites, rather than a wave of advance spread of people with agricultural economy, and where the smaller sites found in between the bigger sedentary ones did not get any of the new products. Not all contemporary sites during a certain period (after the first sedentism occurred at one site) were sedentary. Evaluation of habitational sites in northern Sweden indicates that less than 10 percent of all the sites around 4000 BC were sedentary. At the same time, only 0.5–1 percent of these represented villages with more than 3–4 houses. This means that the old nomadic or migratory life style continued in a parallel fashion for several thousand years, until somewhat more sites turned to sedentism, and gradually switched over to agricultural sedentism. The shift to sedentism is coupled with the adoption of new subsistence strategies, specifically from foraging (hunter-gatherer) to agricultural and animal domestication. The development of sedentism led to the rise of population aggregation and formation of villages, cities, and other community types. In North America, evidence for sedentism emerges around 4500 BC. Forced sedentism Forced sedentism or sedentarization occurs when a dominant group restricts the movements of a nomadic group. Nomadic populations have undergone such a process since the first cultivation of land; the organization of modern society has imposed demands that have pushed aboriginal populations to adopt a fixed habitat. At the end of the 19th and throughout the 20th century many previously nomadic tribes turned to permanent settlement. It was a process initiated by local governments, and it was mainly a global trend forced by the changes in the attitude to the land and real property and also due to state policies that complicated border crossing. Among these nations are Negev Bedouin in Jordan, Israel and Egypt, Bashkirs, Kyrgyz, Kazakhs, Evenks, Evens, Sakha in the Soviet Union, Tibetan nomads in China, Babongo in Gabon, Baka in Cameroon, Innu in Canada, Romani in Romania and Czechoslovakia, etc. As a result of forced sedentarization, many rich herdsmen in Siberia have been eliminated by deliberate overtaxation or imprisonment, year-round mobility has been discouraged, many smaller sites and family herd camps have been shut down, children have been separated from their parents and taken to boarding schools. This caused severe social, cultural and psychological issues to Indigenous peoples of Siberia.

Elsie Baker (July 13, 1893 – August 16, 1971) was an American actress. Her career spanned the gamut from vaudeville through silent movies to radio to Hollywood and television. She has sometimes been confused with the American contralto Elsie West Baker (1886-1958) who was also known as Elsie Baker. Early life and career Baker was born in Chicago, Illinois, into a theatrical family, with an actress for a mother and a father who owned a Chicago stock company. She first went on stage when she was just 10 months old, and more than 70 years later Baker was still taking roles in Hollywood films until just before her death. Personal life and death On August 16, 1971, she died of a heart attack at her home in Hollywood. She was survived by a son and a daughter.

The Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission (AGLC) is an agency of the government of the Canadian province of Alberta, and regulates alcoholic beverages, recreational cannabis, and gaming-related activities. References to cannabis were added to AGLC's name and governing legislation (without adding an extra "C" to the organization's long-standing initials) as cannabis in Canada moved towards legalization in 2018. AGLC was created in 1996 as the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission by combining the responsibilities and operations of the Alberta Liquor Control Board (ALCB), Alberta Lotteries, the Alberta Gaming Commission, Alberta Lotteries and Gaming and the Gaming Control Branch. The current Chief Executive Officer is Kandice Machado. Legislation AGLC operates in accordance with: The Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Act; The Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Regulation; and The Criminal Code. Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis also enforces certain aspects of the Tobacco Tax Act under a memorandum of understanding with Alberta Finance which administers the act, and licenses all racing entertainment centres located at racetracks under the authority of the Horse Racing Alberta Act. Alberta is currently the only Canadian province to have completely privatized its liquor retailing. All other provinces maintain government ownership and control over much of the liquor industry, especially with respect to distilled spirits. Alberta's privatization was carried out in late 1993 and early 1994 under the auspices of one of AGLC's predecessors, the ALCB. Effective October 2018, Alberta has a privatized cannabis retail model, while the Government of Alberta controls all online sales in the province. History The sale and distribution of beverage alcohol in Alberta had been conducted privately, under licence until 1916 when, during the height of Canada's Prohibition during the First World War, the Liberal government called a referendum in which Albertans voted in favour of the Liquor Act, which closed private liquor stores and the sale of alcohol beverage other than weak beer in privately owned bars. (Alcohol was still available from willing pharmacists.) Prohibition achieved the result that family savings doubled within a short time, and the use of mental asylums and prisons dropped. The policy of prohibition was affirmed in a 1920 referendum. Meanwhile, the Royal North-West Mounted Police (RNWMP) passed over enforcement to the newly created Alberta Provincial Police (APP). However, there grew a hard-core of bootleggers who used guns against police enforcing the lawresulting in the death of two policemen in Alberta (Osgoode and Lawson). The United Farmers government that replaced the Liberals in 1921 called a referendum to allow voters to show their determination to continue with prohibition, bring back the pre-war wild times or establish government-owned stores and allow increased sales through tightly regulated taverns. The referendum was conducted in November 1923 and Albertans chose a government-controlled system. The Liquor Act was replaced by the Liquor Control Act and the Alberta Liquor Control Board (ALCB) was created. The first hotels to be relicensed were the Palliser Hotel in Calgary and the Hotel Macdonald in Edmonton. The ALCB maintained tight control over the Alberta liquor industry for the next seven decades. Hotels that met the strict requirements for a liquor licence had to adhere to strict rules regarding the décor, cleanliness and aura of the establishment. According to historian David Leonard, the idea was to make drinking establishments as sparse as possible. Patrons were not allowed to stand up with their drinks in hand, and entertainment in a licensed beverage room was prohibited. Although women were allowed to drink alongside their male counterparts at first, "mixed" drinking was later blamed for riotous behaviour, and in 1928 the Liquor Control Act was amended so that special rooms had to be created for "ladies and escorts". In the 1930s, the ALCB hired armed officers to enforce the Liquor Control Act. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) assumed enforcement duties (where no municipal police had jurisdiction) after taking over provincial policing duties from the APP in 1932. Beer off-sales were permitted from hotels starting in 1934, however the sale of wine and hard liquor remained more tightly controlled. As was the case in most Canadian provinces, the only legal way to purchase spirits in Alberta was to travel to a deliberately uninviting ALCB store, where the customer had to apply on a paper form indicating what they wanted to purchase. The requested product was then fetched by a staff member after the customer's age was carefully checked. The ALCB did not permit individualized packaging for wine or spirits. It purchased wine and spirits from wineries and distillers in bulk barrels, then bottled them into stone jars and bottles with the ALCB brand for resale in stores. ALCB stores were few and far between (especially in rural areas), and spirits were frequently watered down prior to bottling. A Social Credit government assumed office in 1935, going on to dominate Albertan politics for the next three decades. The socially conservative governments of Premiers William Aberhart and Ernest Manning were slower to relax liquor laws compared to most of their contemporaries in other provinces. In one notable policy, the Social Credit government refused to license commercial airlines during their tenure and took vigorous steps to ensure that commercial flights were not serving alcohol whilst travelling through Alberta airspace. The Alberta government and ALCB began loosening some restrictions in the 1950s and 1960s. Clubs and canteens could be licensed from 1950 onwards. In the 1957 Alberta Liquor Plebiscite, voters in and near Edmonton and Calgary voted overwhelmingly to de-segregate beverage rooms; however, men and women were not allowed to drink together province-wide until 1967. Having repealed the requirement for customer signatures on counter slips to purchase alcohol in 1965, in 1969 the ALCB opened its first self-serve liquor store in Edmonton. By 1970 the ALCB was no longer bottling products and commercial product packaging became normal. The Progressive Conservative government replaced the Socreds in 1971, and moved to loosen restrictions further, lowering the drinking age from 21 to 18. Although some Alberta MLA's since then have mooted raising the drinking age back to 19 to match the laws of neighbouring British Columbia and Saskatchewan, the lower drinking age remains in effect . Responsibility for domestic beer warehousing was transferred to the Alberta Brewers' Agents Limited in 1973. The 1980s saw restrictions relaxed further, with the first wine stores licensed in 1985 and the first hotel-based cold beer stores approved in 1988. In 1990 hotel off-sales expanded from beer only to beer, wine and spirits. Privatization The complete privatization of Alberta liquor retailing following former Calgary mayor Ralph Klein's accession of the premiership in 1992 is the most notable event in the ALCB's history, and for many Canadians it is also the most controversial event in the recent history of alcoholic beverage distribution in Canada. Klein promised Albertan voters the liquor industry would be privatized if he was elected in the 1993 election. After he won the election, the Klein government carried out the privatization almost immediately. Under Municipal Affairs Minister Steve West, privatization was carried out, and the 202 ALCB liquor stores were systematically sold off. Where private interests believed an existing ALCB store could be profitably operated as a privately owned liquor store, the store continued to operate under new ownership. Liquor stores that were not economically viable in the private sector were closed down with the properties sold to the highest bidder. Between September 4, 1993, and March 5, 1994, every ALCB store was either sold or shut down. With respect to the ALCB stores that were converted to private liquor stores, the Alberta Union of Provincial Employees (AUPE) was denied successor rights to the private stores. Whereas all non-management ALCB employees in 1993 belonged to the AUPE, no privately owned liquor store was known to have become unionized except for those owned and operated by Loblaws under the Real Canadian Liquorstore and those owned and operated by Safeway in their grocery stores. The ALCB initially retained warehousing and distribution responsibilities for wine, coolers, imported beer and spirits. The warehousing operation was contracted out to a private operator, Connect Logistics in June 1994. Connect Logistics leased the ALCB's existing warehouse in St. Albert and continues to warehouse all wine, coolers, imported beer and spirits legally sold in Alberta. Domestic beer is warehoused and distributed by Brewer's Distributor Limited. The AUPE was again denied successor rights to the Connect Logistics–operated warehouse and the warehouse thus became a non-union operation. Privatization was controversial, attracting criticism from people who worried about the social costs of liquor privatization. ALCB workers had taken strike action earlier in 1993 causing an interruption in service at liquor stores. Compared to other Canadian provinces, Albertans are generally seen as less friendly to unions, and many Albertans were disappointed by what they interpreted as the union's lack of concern for Albertans' social lives (the strike over the Victoria Day weekend). Some Alberta labour leaders continue to view the privatization as a retaliation against a legal strike. It is still debated whether this strike directly influenced the Tories' election promise and subsequent decision to privatize liquor store, or influenced some Albertans to vote for Klein as a result. Distribution delays by Connect Logistics became a problem in 2006 with complaints from liquor retailers that they were not receiving stock on time and had empty shelves as a result. Some retailers also initiated legal action against AGLC. In response, AGLC hired a 3rd-party consultant, Price Waterhouse Coopers, to review the province's liquor distribution system. The report was publicly released in March 2007. The report did not make any drastic recommendations on how liquor products are distributed in Alberta. It recommended that Connect Logistics remain in its role and continue to warehouse and distribute wine, spirits, and imported beer to maintain "stability" in the system. The biggest difference in this arrangement would now require a formalized contract between Connect Logistics and AGLC including "performance indicators" for things like consumer service and on-time delivery. One of the more controversial recommendations was for a new warehouse pricing system. In July 2007, AGLC approved the new prices for storage, warehousing and distribution. Connect Logistics claims the new prices better reflected the actual handling costs of each product. Some managers of smaller liquor stores believed that the system worked to the advantage of larger operators. Over the 2007 Christmas season, the stories of empty liquor store shelves and product shortages disappeared from the media as shelves remained stocked. A follow-up report was released in June 2009. Today Although Alberta has deregulated its retail liquor industry to a greater extent compared to any other province, its Connect Logistics–administered monopoly on the wholesaling of wine and distilled spirits is comparable to the systems which in the U.S. would be considered an alcoholic beverage control state. This means that by U.S. standards, Alberta would be defined as a "control" jurisdiction. When the U.S. abolished prohibition in 1933 the bordering U.S. state of Montana modelled its own liquor control board on the one in place in Alberta. Montana has made similar changes to Alberta over the years and its present liquor distribution system is still very similar to the present Albertan system. It is considered to be one of the 18 "control" states in the U.S. In 2007–2008 disorderly conduct at and near licensed establishments was identified as a growing problem, particularly in the major cities. The province's economic boom and the resulting affluence of its youth were identified as the root cause of the increase in binge drinking. Some blamed inadequate restrictions on alcohol sales in establishments (compared to other provinces) as contributing to the problem. In July 2008, the Alberta government responded to complaints by police and other groups by introducing new regulations to restrict the sale of alcohol in restaurants and bars. Among other things, as of August 1, 2008: Happy hours are still allowed, but they can no longer run past 8 p.m. Drinks sold after this time must be sold for the establishment's regular menu price, thus all-night drink specials which entail selling certain categories of drink for a discount are no longer legal. Minimum prices are in effect. Alcoholic beverages may not be sold for below these minimums. They vary by beverage: $2.75 each for spirits and liqueurs. $0.35 per ounce for wine (i.e. $1.75 for a glass). $0.16 per ounce for draught beer (i.e. $3.20 for a pint). $2.75 per bottle or can of beer, cider or coolers. The number and size of drinks that can be sold to a patron after 1 a.m. is limited to two standard servings per orderone standard serving being defined as of distilled spirit or one bottle or can of beer. Possession of more than two drinks after 1 a.m. in a licensed establishment is prohibited. AGLC is responsible for enforcing these new rules. In response to the above industry concerns, AGLC instituted a certification course called ProServe. Proserve covers symptoms of intoxication, liquor law, identifying minors, dealing with intoxicated people, and other issues that a licensed establishment may face. As of January 1, 2010, all people selling and serving liquor must be certified. On November 26, 2010, AGLC temporarily halted registration of beers with an alcohol content higher than 11.9% (while allowing current retail stocks to still be sold). The restriction was lifted three weeks later on December 16, once a new policy had been developed to deal with a potential influx of ultra-high alcohol beers. The new policy equalized markup rates so that high-alcohol beers were treated the same as other liquor products with similar alcohol levels. On February 6, 2018, Premier Rachel Notley ordered AGLC to cease importing wine from British Columbia, as an economic sanction against the province's decision to perform further environmental reviews over a proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain Pipeline. Organization and mandate AGLC consists of a board and a corporation. The corporation acts as the operational arm of the organization, while the board is responsible for reflecting the government's direction through policy and regulatory matters. Although liquor is retailed in Alberta by private interests on a competitive basis, like its predecessor AGLC has maintained a monopoly over the wholesaling of wine, coolers, imported beer and spirits. AGLC is the wholesale-level purchaser of these products and thus Alberta liquor taxes (which are still high compared to taxes in the U.S.) are termed as the liquor markup. The wholesaling operation itself is mostly handled by Connect Logistics, a contract distributor based in St. Albert. Maintaining a monopoly over the wholesale business allows AGLC to maintain tighter controls over liquor distribution than an entirely privatized system would allow. In particular it allows the government to ensure that it does not miss out on any "markup" (the bulk of the liquor tax in any Canadian province, including Alberta, is the provincial liquor markup). Between 1999 and 2006 AGLC operated as part of the Ministry of Gaming. When Ed Stelmach became premier, he restructured government so there were fewer ministries and ministers. The Ministry of Gaming was abolished following December 2006's reorganization, and AGLC was assigned to report through the Solicitor General and Minister of Public Security, at the time Frank Oberle Jr. AGLC later reported via Ministers Ron Liepert and Doug Horner, until AGLC was directed to report through Treasury Board and Finance to Robin Campbell. Following the provincial election of 2015, which saw the Alberta New Democratic Party form government, AGLC reported to Treasury Board and Finance Minister Joe Ceci.

The Urgel Regency (in Spanish: Regencia de Urgel) was an interim government, or interregnum, expressly authorised by Fernando VII towards the end of May 1822. It was formed on 14 or 15 August 1822, during the Liberal Triennium (Trienio Liberal), by the Spanish absolutists, or Royalists, supporters of Fernando VII, who opposed the Constitutional Government that (basing itself on the Spanish Constitution of 1812) had resulted from the Spanish Revolution of 1820. The Regency's leading figures were Bernardo Mozo de Rosales, Marquis of Mataflorida; Baron de Eroles; and Jaime Creux, Archbishop-elect of Tarragona. Based in Seo de Urgel, the city-fortress taken by Royalist forces some weeks earlier, the Urgel Regency was the one of the major outcomes of Spain's 1822-1823 civil war, the conflict resulting from the uprising of the Royalists who rejected the 1812 Constitution and wanted to restore the absolute monarchy. The Regency was presided over by the Marquis de Mataflorida, who had agreed to forming a government in the “liberated” zone, that is, one not controlled by the liberal government headed by the "exaltado" Evaristo San Miguel. Congress of Verona (1822) Despite Wellington having assured the British Foreign Secretary, George Canning, on 18 October 1822, that "all notion of what is called a European army, or any offensive operation against Spain, is at an end", on 20 October 1822, at the first working session of the Congress of Verona, attended by Wellington; Nesselrode, the Russian foreign minister and a leading European conservative statesman of the Holy Alliance; Montmorency, known for his strong reactionary, ultramontane, and Ultra-royalist views; Bernstorff, considered to have subordinated the particular interests of Prussia to the European policy of Metternich and the Holy Alliance; and Klemens von Metternich. The meeting, held at Metternich's apartment, dealt with two matters concerning Spain, the second of which was a letter, dated 11 September, signed by the Marquis of Mataflorida and the Archbishop of Tarragona. Read by Carlos de España, as envoy of the Urgel Regency, the letter requested the allied sovereigns' aid "to restore the King to his throne and to reestablish all things as they had been before March 9, 1820". Of the five members of the Alliance, only Russia was initially willing to invade Spain and the petition was shelved, for the time being. Later, however, when four of the five allies advocated invading Spain, Wellington posed the following: "Let us suppose that you are already in Madrid and that only two battles have been required to take you there, what would you do then? Would you overthrow the constitution, or would you let it stand?". The Regency came to an end when Francisco Espoz y Mina led the Government offensive at the head of the Constitutionalist Army in autumn-winter of 1822-1823, forcing the Royalist Regency to flee across the border into France. Final days of the Regency Despite counting on the initial support of the Holy Alliance, the Regency generated tension among the different factions of Royalists, with some leading military figures of the day, such as Francisco de Eguía and his supporters, even declaring war against Mataflorida and his Regency with the publication of A la España realista y a las demás naciones de Europa (To Royalist Spain and the Other Nations of Europe.). Due, in part, to the mounting pressure from the liberal military forces, the three leaders were finally forced to flee Spain in November 1822, via Puigcerdá and Llivia, escorted by 300 troops of the so-called Regency Battalion, and head to Toulouse, arriving there in December 1822. In mid-February 1823, they met up in Perpignan with the intention of renewing their activities and in mid-March they returned to Toulouse to meet up with Louis Antoine, Duke of Angoulême, who would soon (that same April) lead the "Hundred Thousand Sons of Saint Louis", comprising some five army corps, but actually only numbering some 60,000 troops, to invade Spain to help the Spanish Royalists restore King Ferdinand VII to the throne. Background On his return to Spain, at the end of the Peninsular War (1814), Fernando VII, despite having sworn to uphold the Constitution of Cádiz, behaved as a tyrant and despot, imposing the absolutism of the Antiguo Régimen. He not only rejected the Constitution he had sworn to uphold, but went out of his way to carry out a harsh repression and persecution of liberals and so-called afrancesados. Rafael del Riego’s pronunciamiento of 1 January 1820 was the start of the Trienio Liberal, which ended in October 1823 when, with the approval of the crowned heads of Europe, a French army, known in Spain as "The Hundred Thousand Sons of St. Louis", and in France as the "Spanish Expedition" (expédition d’Espagne), invaded Spain, and Fernando VII was able to restore an absolute monarchy. Riego was by no means the first who had tried to intervene in this represión. Before him, several notable public figures, such as Espoz y Mina, Richard, Renovales, Díaz Porlier (1815), Brigadier-general Lacy (1816) or Vidal (1819), had all failed, most of them at the cost of their lives. Cultural references Benito Pérez Galdós Benito Pérez Galdós refers to "the three regents" in his 1877 novel Los Cien Mil Hijos de San Luis (Hundred Thousand Sons of Saint Louis), part of his Episodios Nacionales. The following is an example: These were the Baron de Eroles and don Jaime Creux, Archbishop of Tarragona, both of them, just like Mataflorida, from the humblest of classes, brought out of obscurity by these revolutionary times, which wasn't really a very strong argument in favour of absolutism. A Regency destined to re-establish the Throne and the Altar should be constituted of people of good breeding. But the times of commotion in which we lived meant otherwise, and even absolutism had to enlist its people from among the plebs. This fact, which had been observed since the previous century, was expressed by Louis XV, when he said that the nobility needed to be covered in manure in order to be made fertile.Of these three regents, the most likeable was Mataflorida, who was also the most learned; the most tolerant was Eroles, and the most evil and unpleasant, Don Jaime Creux. It cannot be said that these men had been slow in developing their brilliant careers. Eroles was a student in 1808 and a lieutenant-general in 1816. The other, from obscure cleric, became a bishop, in reward for his betrayal of las Cortes in '14. (Pérez Galdós: Los Cien Mil Hijos de San Luis, 1877, p. 38.)

Tilly Smith (born 1994) is a British woman who has been credited with saving the lives of approximately 100 beachgoers at Mai Khao Beach in Thailand by warning them minutes before the arrival of the tsunami caused by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. Smith, who was ten years old at the time, had learned about tsunamis in her geography class. Background Smith was educated at Danes Hill School, an independent school in the village of Oxshott in Surrey, followed by Stowe School, a boarding independent school in the civil parish of Stowe in Buckinghamshire. Smith learned about tsunamis in a geography lesson two weeks before the tsunami from her teacher Andrew Kearney at Danes Hill School in Oxshott, Surrey. She recognised the signs and alerted her parents while walking on the beach. "The water was really, really frothy," Smith said. "It wasn't calm and it wasn't going in and then out. It was just coming in and in and in." Initially, not seeing any obvious sign of a large wave on the horizon, her parents didn't believe her assertion that a tsunami was coming, but Smith persisted, stating curtly: "I'm going. I'm definitely going. There is definitely going to be a tsunami". Her father, Colin, sensing the urgency in his daughter's voice, heeded Tilly's warning. He managed to convince a security guard that a tsunami was inbound: "'Look, you probably think I'm absolutely bonkers, but my daughter's completely convinced there's gonna be a tsunami." Tilly Smith recounted that, by coincidence, an English-speaking Japanese man was nearby and heard her mention the Japanese word "tsunami", bolstering her claim by saying: "Yeah, there's been an earthquake in Sumatra; I think your daughter's right." The beach was evacuated to the second storey of a nearby hotel before the tsunami reached the shore, with patrons narrowly avoiding the tsunami by seconds; Tilly's mother, one of the last to seek refuge, said: "I ran, and then I thought I was going to die." Ultimately, Mai Khao Beach was one of the few beaches on the island with no reported fatalities, with only a few minor injuries recorded. Colin added, "It was later when we sort of went through what happened we thought how lucky we were, 'cause if she hadn't told us, we would have just kept on walking," he said. "I'm convinced we would have died, absolutely convinced." Smith's family declined requests to be interviewed by commercial and national broadcasters in the immediate aftermath, but Smith appeared at the United Nations in November 2005, where she met former President of The United States and the serving U.N. Special Envoy for Tsunami Relief, Bill Clinton, and at the first anniversary in Phuket as part of a campaign to highlight the importance of education; she also appeared in an educational video for the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction. Tilly and her parents later appeared in a segment of the American TV show 20/20. Awards and recognition On 9 September 2005, Smith received the Thomas Gray Special Award of The Marine Society & Sea Cadets from Second Sea Lord, Vice-Admiral Sir James Burnell-Nugent. Minor planet 20002 Tillysmith has been named after her. In the press, Smith earned the moniker Angel of the Beach. In December 2005, Smith was named "Child of the Year" by the French magazine Mon Quotidien (a magazine targeted to young readers). At the official tsunami commemorations on the first anniversary of the tsunami held at Khao Lak, Thailand, on 26 December 2005, she was given the honour of reading a poem to thousands of spectators. Smith's story is incorporated into many teaching resources for children about earthquakes, tsunamis and how to stay safe.

Wilhelm Heinrich Erb (30 November 1840 – 29 October 1921) was a German neurologist. He was born in Winnweiler, and died in Heidelberg. Academic career In 1864 he received his medical degree from the University of Heidelberg, where for several years he served as an assistant to pathologist Nikolaus Friedreich (1825–1882). As a young man, he also worked for a period of time under Ludwig von Buhl (1816–1880) in Munich. In 1880 Erb attained the chair of special pathology at the University of Leipzig, where he was also appointed head of its policlinic. In 1883 he succeeded Friedreich at the University of Heidelberg, where he worked until his retirement in 1907. Psychiatrist Emil Kraepelin (1856–1926) and neurologists Ernst Julius Remak (1849–1911), Max Nonne (1861–1959) and Paul Julius Möbius (1853–1907) were among his better known students and assistants. Up until his death in 1921, he served as honorary president of the Gesellschaft Deutscher Nervenärzte (Society of German Neurologists). Neurological research Erb began his medical career in the fields of toxicology and histology, but later his interest switched to neurology, of which he became one of the 19th century's leading neurologists. He extensively used electrodiagnostic testing and demonstrated heightened motor nerve sensitivity in tetanus. He is also credited with popularizing the reflex hammer for use in neurological examinations. He made early observations associated with syphilis to tabes dorsalis (nerve fiber and nerve cell degeneration). In his research of tabes dorsalis, he tried to find the link between this condition and syphilis. He also made contributions in his research of poliomyelitis, claudication intermittens, and progressive muscular atrophy. In 1878, he described myasthenia gravis, a condition sometimes referred to as the "Erb-Goldflam disease" (named along with neurologist Samuel Goldflam). Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular disorder that leads to fatigue and muscle weakness. He was the author of over 250 medical works, including Handbuch der Elektrotherapie (a textbook on electrotherapy), and an important study on spinal paralysis. In 1891, he contributed to the foundation of the journal, Deutsche Zeitschrift für Nervenheilkunde – in its first volume, he published a survey on muscular dystrophies. Associated eponyms Erb's palsy, also known as Erb-Duchenne palsy (named with French neurologist Guillaume Duchenne de Boulogne) or brachial plexus palsy: a muscular paralysis during childbirth. Erb-Charcot paralysis: a rare form of spinal syphilis; named with French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot. Erb's point: an anatomical location 2–3 cm above the clavicle. Electrical stimulation over this region causes contraction of various arm muscles. Erb-Westphal symptom: a reflex anomaly seen in tabes dorsalis, named with German neurologist Karl Friedrich Otto Westphal. Erb's spot: an auscultatory spot in cardiology, located in the third intercostal space, three centimeter to the left, which allows an evaluation of most heart sounds and murmurs.

Variety Unit is an exhibit building at Shelburne Museum in Shelburne, Vermont. History Variety Unit is the only structure at Shelburne Museum that is original to the site. Built in 1835, the building was originally known as the Weed House, but was renamed Variety Unit to reflect the wide range of decorative arts exhibited there. Architecture The original brick structure, with its front-gable orientation and fully articulated pediment, reflects the style of Greek Revival architecture popular in the mid-19th century. However, the complex rambling interior composed of a series of one and two-room additions, constructed over time as the occupants required more space, embodies the New England tradition of "continuous architecture." Variety Unit collections Glass Shelburne Museum's glass collection numbers nearly two thousand pieces dating from 1750 to 1900 and includes free-blown flasks, window glass, and mold-blown bottles and flasks; pattern glass plates, serving dishes and decorative piecesl colorful canes, rolling pins, marbles, "witch balls" and other whimseys; and miniature glass doll dishes. The Garrison collection of American pattern glass goblets includes eleven hundred patterns. In addition the collection includes a wide range of patent medicine and apothecary bottles. Ceramics The finest ceramics in the Museum's collection include over 200 pieces of 19th-century English mochaware, several of which are recent acquisitions. While the strength of the Shelburne Museum's collection is in utilitarian and fine tablewares, the figural ceramics are also of interest. Staffordshire animal figures, whimsical toby jugs, and a magnificent pair of Chelsea swans can also be seen in the Variety Unit. Dolls and Dollhouses Shelburne Museum's European and American dolls include bisque, papier-mâché, Parian, china, wax, wood and cloth pieces, most of them made between 1760 and 1930. About 400 dolls are on exhibition in Variety Unit in galleries re-designed in 2004 with new lighting and exhibition labels. Exhibited with the dolls are 19th and 20th-century dollhouses; they include an English Gothic Revival house and the idiosyncratic Ramshackle Inn, a rambling American house with an artist's studio in the attic. Many American dolls of the 18th and 19th centuries were made at home of readily available materials, including wood, rags, clay, dried apples, corn husks, bottles and clay pipes. Until World War I, the majority of dolls sold in America were imported from England, France, and Germany. Joel Ellis of Springfield, Vermont made some of the first commercial American dolls with wooden bodies, patented jointed limbs, and pewter hands and feet. Izannah Walker of Rhode Island made cloth dolls with hand-painted faces and hair. Examples by both Ellis and Walker can be seen in the Variety Unit. Not all dolls were playthings. In the late 19th century French dollmakers such as Bru, Jumeau, and Steiner, and German dollmakers such as Kestner and Simon & Halbig – all represented in Shelburne Museum's collection – created elegant bisque-head dolls with large wide glass eyes, thick eyebrows, long lashes, cupid's bow lips, beautifully coiffed real hair and elaborate dresses of silk and other fine fabrics. Souvenir and keepsake dolls were popular products in many areas frequented by tourists. Dolls created entirely of different sizes and shapes of shells, for example, come from a number of French and English resort towns; a number of these fragile dolls may be seen in the Hat and Fragrance. English peddler dolls, which depict street vendors and their diverse wares, and American Indian dolls, complete with bead-decorated costumes are also represented in Shelburne's vast collection. Pewter Shelburne Museum's pewter collection offers an overview of French, German, Dutch, English, and American styles. Settlers brought pieces of pewter with them from abroad and many American merchants sold foreign pewter in their shops. It cost less than other metals, and in Europe its styles frequently copied popular silver designs. American artisans often relied on imported English and German pewter for stylistic inspiration. In fact, long after pewter had fallen out of fashion in Europe it was still being widely produced in America. Scrimshaw The American whaling industry dominated the world market in the nineteenth century. It peaked in 1850 when seven hundred American ships with over twenty thousand men sailed from the South Pacific to the Arctic in search of whales. Voyages could last up to five years because ships only returned when their holds were filled with barrels of whale oil. To pass the time, some sailors used the leftover whalebone to make homecoming gifts for their friends and loved ones. With saws and files they would first shape the whalebone. Then with needles or knives they would sketch designs into the surface. When the design was complete the sailors would ink them with lampblack or squid ink. While the best-known form of scrimshaw is the whale tooth decorated with engraved scenes, scrimshanders also fashioned shipboard tools, kitchen implements, domestic and needlework tools, and fashion accessories from whalebone and ivory. Tortoise shell, seashells, animal horn, pewter, silver, and exotic tropical woods gathered during the whaling journeys sometimes provided decorative accents. Shelburne Museum's scrimshaw collection offers a broad range of forms. A variety of teeth are decorated with whaling scenes, portraits, and patriotic motifs. A "Susan's tooth," one of a handful engraved in the 1830s by Frederick Myrick aboard the ship Susan, is among the earliest documented scrimshaw in existence. Pieces intended as gifts to wives and sweethearts included corset busks (inserted in a slit at the front of a woman's corset to firm the bodice), small picks (used to pierce holes in cloth or as hair decorations), pie crimpers, knitting needles, a butter print, a sewing box, and a yarn-winding swift. Automata Automata are large (sometimes three feet tall), often comical wind-up toys with accompanying music that were displayed in parlors, especially in France, in the late-19th and early 20th centuries. The Museum exhibits about 30 automata, including several particularly fine pieces by Gustave Vichy of Paris, France. The collection includes a drunken chef, a magician, a monkey drummer, a magician, an opium smoker, a woman at her toilette, and a clown walking on his hands. Woodenware and food molds North America's abundant forests supplied the raw materials that settlers used to create buildings and objects that ranged from baskets, barrels, and bowls, to carriages and boats. Household utensils, known as treen, comprised some of the most basic and common wooden objects. One of the most popular materials used to create treen were burls, which are dense, hard growths that form on tree trunks. The semi-circular burls typically required little shaping to form bowls and in addition to their strength, they often possessed highly patterned and attractive grains. Craftsmen would scoop out the interior of a burl by hand or, in later years with a lathe, to create a hollowed bowl. During the 19th century food molds became popular as a vehicle for both identification and decoration. Confectioners would use intricately carved wooden molds to form and decorate pastries and marzipan candies while bakers would pour their cake batters into carved molds such as the Museum's George Washington cake mold made by John Conger, a renowned New York carver. Dairy farmers would likewise use ornamental, circular stamps to mark their butter with their brand. Other The Variety Unit is also home to the glass canes, globlets, toby jugs, and trivets.

Ragip Pasha Mansion () is an Ottoman-era mansion in Istanbul, Turkey. It was built in 1906. Background Ragıp Sarica (1857–1920), known as Ragıp Pasha, was born in Euboea (). After graduating from the School of Civil Service, he entered state service. He became an aide de camp to the Ottoman Sultan Abdulhamid II () at the Yıldız Palace. Additionally, he was engaged in trade. He founded the rakı factory Umurca in Tekirdağ, and also funded the construction of the commercial buildings Afrika Han, Anadolu Han and Rumeli Han at İstiklal Avenue in Beyoğlu, Istanbul. He was exiled in 1908 to the island Rhodes in Ottoman Greece following the deposition of the sultan to Thessaloniki right after the Young Turk Revolution. He contracted stomach cancer there, and went to Switzerland for treatment. After his return, he lived in his mansion. Mansion Ragıp Pasha Mansion is located at Cemil Topuzlu Avenue in the Caddebostan neighborhood of Kadıköy district in Istanbul, Turkey, on the shore of the Marmara Sea. Built in 1906, its architect was Prussian August Carl Friedrich Jasmund, who taught at the Imperial School of Military Engineering (, today Istanbul Technical University), and designed the Sirkeci railway station. It consists of three buildings, a luxurious one for Pasha, a relative modest one for Tevhide, Pasha's daughter, and a one-storey reception pavilion at the street side. Entry to the premises is through a high wrought-iron double-wing gate. The buildings cover a floor area of with a gross covered area of on a plot of . The mansion's land is a registered protected area. The cost of the mansion was given with 40,000 gold. In later years, the pavilion was demolished, and apartment buildings were constructed on the site. Both buildings have three stores and a basement. A clock tower was added to the building of Ragıp Pasha. There was an outbuilding and a pool, which were demolished during the construction of the coastal walkway in later years. The buildings are of masonry covered by wood except the basement. The windows and the balconies are covered with wooden blinds. The outside woodwork gives the buildings the appearance of a wooden house. Although the inner walls are flat, the wooden ceilings are richly decorated, especially with gold leaf handcrafted by Greek artisans. All the marble of the building was imported from Italy, and the interior flooring arquets from Vienna, Austria. After Pasha's death After the death of Pasha in 1920, the mansion was sold. It was owned first by lawyer İbrahim Ali, then Sıtkı Çiftçi. It was used by the Sailing Club and then as a military jailhouse. Later, the mansion was leased by storewise. Notable people like Vehbi Koç and Abidin Dino were among the tenants. The mansion was later neglected. It was dubbed "Little Dolmabahçe Palace", "Palace Cub" or "Haunted House". After the death of businessman Tahsin Çiftçi in 200, his heirs Hakan Mehmet Çiftçi and Hatice Ayşe Çiftçi owned the mansion. Due to the Çiftçi family's financial problems, the mansion was in enforcement by a bank. On 2 September 2022, the court of justice went out to tender, and the creditor İşbank purchased the mansion for nearly 450 million (around US$24.7 million).

The Last of the Greats is a comic book limited series created by writer Joshua Hale Fialkov and the artist Brent Peeples. It was published by Image Comics from October 5, 2011, to February 2012. A sequel, Return of the Greats, is forthcoming. Story It takes place in a world where seven alien super powered beings known as the Greats have eliminated disease, poverty and social inequality. At the start of the story, humanity found a way to kill all of the Greats save one, who kept himself hidden, never bothering to try to help Earth as his siblings did. Now humanity must plead with the last of the Greats to stop an alien invasion that threatens the entire world. There are several startling revelations during the first five issues. It is revealed that though the Greats seemingly died, they are beings of energy and therefore have been absorbed by their remaining brother, who is now extorting the human race into complete subjugation for his help. When the Last Great seeks to engage the alien ships, he actually goes aboard one of them and seems to be in charge of the fleet, which he then orders to destroy two-thirds of the earth's population. In flashbacks, it is seen that the Last Great's sister had a child with her adviser and the child has abilities like the other Greats, but she is being kept hidden from the Last Great for her own protection. Later in the story, the Last Great is attacked by his "niece", and during the battle, the reader is given a glimpse of the other Greats in a big field under a tree that represents them being part of the Last Great's subconscious, mingling and talking with each other. Due to the Last Great's niece fighting with him, the internal struggle with the other Greats causes them to attempt to release themselves from his body. All of the Greats do this, except for one woman. The Last Great and this woman have plotted to have the others release themselves and float around as formless energy so that they can enact a master plan that they have been planning for some time. Collected editions The first series was collected into a trade paperback: Volume 1 (collects Last of the Greats #1–5, Image Comics, paperback, March 2012, ) Reception Jamil Scalese of Comics Bulletin called the story "page-turning, jaw-dropping" and wrote, "The Last of the Greats sets itself up to be one [of] the best mindfuck comics to hit shelves recently." He praised the artwork as well. IGN felt the series had a "neat concept" but complained about the lack of character development in the first issue.

Anacridium aegyptium, the Egyptian grasshopper or Egyptian locust, is a species of insect belonging to the subfamily Cyrtacanthacridinae. Subspecies Anacridium aegyptium var. rubrispinum Bei-Bienko, 1948 - Anacridium rubrispinum Bei-Bienko, 1948 Distribution A fairly common species, the Egyptian grasshopper is present in most of Europe, the Afrotropical realm, eastern Palearctic realm, the Near East, and North Africa, and has recently been observed in Cape Town, South Africa. Habitat These grasshoppers inhabit trees and shrubs, scrub land, maquis, and orchards in warm and bright environments, at an elevation from sea level to 1,500 m. Description Anacridium aegyptium is one of the largest European grasshoppers. Adult males grow up to long, while females reach in length. Their bodies are usually gray, brown, or olive-coloured, and their antennae are relatively short and robust. The tibiae of the hind legs are blue, while the femora are orange. The hind femora have characteristic dark marks. They are also easily identified by their characteristic eyes, which have vertical black and white stripes. Their pronota show a dorsal orange stripe and several small white spots. The wings are clear with dark marks. Biology This species is a folivore, essentially feeding on leaves of various plants. It is a solitary species, harmless to crops. Adults are mainly seen in August and September, but they are active throughout the year. After mating, these grasshoppers overwinter as adults. Spawning occurs in spring just under the soil surface and the nymphs appear in April. These grasshoppers undergo several molts. Nymphs differ from adults in appearance; their color varies from yellow to bright green and ocher and the wings are absent or small, as they are gradually developed after each molt.

The Avatr 12 (pronounced "one two", not "twelve") is an electric executive car produced by Avatr Technology, a joint venture between Changan Automobile, lithium-ion battery provider CATL, and Huawei. It is the second vehicle under the Avatr brand. Overview In July 2023, Avatr Technology presented the second model in its range as part of the expansion of the range that so far consisted of only the 11. The 12 took the form of a flagship executive car combining the features of a sedan and a fastback in its proportions. Like the 11, the styling design was created by former BMW designer Nader Faghihzadeh. The characteristic visual features of the 11 with massive proportions were transferred to a more slender silhouette, which retained round edges, double lighting with a "C" motif and narrow strips of rear lamps. The door handles were hidden, and the small rear window was integrated with the smoothly sloping glass of the low roof. The edge of the trunk lid is topped with an optionally hinged spoiler, which opens together with the window, as in liftbacks. The car is also equipped with an optional camera system replacing traditional side mirrors. The wheels come in two sizes: 20 or 21 inches. The passenger cabin of 12 has introduced changes in the concept of selected instruments, while maintaining its typical stylistic design. The steering wheel has a more oval shape, and the central 15.6-inch touchscreen of the multimedia system dominates the central console. Instead of displaying the clocks in front of the driver, it was decided to integrate it with one large digital strip running across the entire width of the cockpit. The 12 was created for the domestic Chinese market, where its official debut took place in August 2023, and in early September, during IAA Mobility 2023 in Munich, the car was also presented to the European public. The beginning of deliveries of the first units to buyers was scheduled for December of the same year, positioning the model as a premium product. One of the 12's main rivals is Zeekr 001. Specifications The 12 is a fully electric car powered by two units. The basic one consists of one engine transmitting to the rear axle, while the top one consists of two engines driving both axles with a total power of . The batteries are provided by the co-creator and co-shareholder of Avatr, the Chinese company CATL, offering two packages with a capacity of 90.4 or 116.8 kWh. The engines are provided by another shareholder of the project, Huawei.

The annual NCAA women's ice hockey tournament—officially known as the National Collegiate Women's Ice Hockey Championship—is a college ice hockey tournament held in the United States by the National Collegiate Athletic Association to determine the top women's team in the NCAA. The 2020 championship was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Unlike most NCAA sports, women's ice hockey uses a modified version of the National Collegiate championship format, which means Division I and Division II teams compete against each other in the same tournament. Origins The NCAA championship of women's ice hockey began in 2001, although several universities had had women's teams established since the early 1970s. In 1965, the first collegiate women's ice hockey team in the United States was created at Brown University. In February 1966, the team, named the "Pembroke Pandas", played its first match. Their opponents were the Walpole Brooms, a non-collegiate team. The women's ice hockey program of Cornell University began in 1971. The Big Red team competed in its first match in 1972, which it won 4–3, against Scarborough. In 1972, they played eight matches and lost half, including two defeats against the Pembroke Pandas. Yale University made its debut in women's hockey on December 9, 1975. The University of Minnesota-Duluth, the University of New Hampshire, and the rest of the Ivy League schools have similar histories. In 1976, Brown University would host the first ever Ivy League women's ice hockey tournament. Competitors in the tournament included Princeton, Yale, and Cornell, which won the tournament. Women's ice hockey continued growth and acceptance continued through the early 1980s. In 1984, the Providence Friars won the inaugural ECAC women's ice hockey championship. In the 1997–98 season, the American Women's College Hockey Alliance (AWCHA) made its debut. It was financed by the United States Olympic Committee. This allowed for the first national women's ice hockey championship to occur, which was won by New Hampshire. The 1997–98 season also saw the creation of the Patty Kazmaier Award, designed to recognize the most remarkable women's collegiate ice hockey player every season. The AWCHA also conducted championships in 1999 and 2000, which were won by Harvard and Minnesota respectively. During the 1999–2000 season, WCHA joined the ECAC in an attempt to make women's ice hockey an NCAA sanctioned sport. In August 2000, the NCAA announced that it would set up a national division of women's ice hockey with a national championship at the end of every season, starting with the 2000–01 season. The Minnesota–Duluth Bulldogs won the inaugural tournament defeating the St. Lawrence Skating Saints 4-2 in the championship game. NCAA Division I women's ice hockey In all, 44 schools in the United States, ranging from the Midwest to the East Coast, sponsor varsity women's hockey at the National Collegiate (Divisions I and II) level. Five National Collegiate conferences are currently recognized by the NCAA—College Hockey America, ECAC Hockey, Hockey East, New England Women's Hockey Alliance, and the Western Collegiate Hockey Association. Format Under NCAA rules, Division II schools are allowed to compete as Division I members in sports in which a D-II championship is not contested. As there is no Division II championship for women's ice hockey, this rule applies to the tournament. The official name of the "Division I" tournament is the National Collegiate Women's Ice Hockey Championship, which reflects the NCAA's formal terminology for championship events that are open to schools from multiple divisions. This tournament is a single elimination competition of eleven teams. The semi-finals and finals are called the "Women's Frozen Four." This moniker is similar to the name used by the NCAA Men's Ice Hockey Championship. The term is derived from the term "Final four." The Patty Kazmaier Award ceremony takes place annually during Women's Frozen Four weekend. History Although many schools from many conferences have been competitive, the first 13 championships were won by only three different schools all originating from the WCHA: Minnesota-Duluth, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. In 2014, the WCHA's hold on the championship was finally broken when Clarkson defeated Minnesota. In 2022, Ohio State won the national championship, making them the 4th WCHA team to win. The ECAC, from which Clarkson originated, has easily been the second most competitive conference, with eleven appearances in ten national title games, including the first five games. Hockey East has had four title game appearances, twice by Boston University and once each by Boston College and Northeastern, and CHA has had one title appearance, by Mercyhurst in 2009. The 2020 championship was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Team titles Result by school and year NCAA Division I Women's Hockey Tournament appearances by school 27 teams have appeared in the NCAA Tournament in at least one year starting with 2001 (the initial year that the post-season tournament was under the auspices of the NCAA). The results for all years are shown in this table below. The code in each cell represents the furthest the team made it in the respective tournament: First round (did not exist until 2022) Quarterfinals (did not exist until 2005) 8 teams selected in 2020 before the tournament was canceled. Frozen Four National Runner-up National Champion Broadcasting In February 2017, the NCAA announced that it had reached a four-year deal with Big Ten Network to televise the Women's national championship game beginning in 2017, and the Frozen Four semi-finals beginning in 2018. In 2021, ESPN announced that it had acquired the rights under a multi-year deal, with ESPNU to air one semi-final and the national championship annually. The other semi-final will be carried via streaming.

EN 1063, or CEN 1063, is a security glazing standard created by the European Committee for Standardization for measuring the protective strength of bullet-resistant glass. It is commonly used in conjunction with EN 1522 (Euronorm standard for Bullet Resistance in Windows, Doors, Shutters and Blinds) to form a ballistic classification system by which armored vehicles and structures are tested and rated. A similar classification system primarily used in the United States is NIJ Standard 0108, the U.S. National Institute of Justice's Standard for Ballistic Resistant Protective Materials which includes glass and armor plate. Threat Levels The protective strength of a glazed shielding is rated based on the type of munitions, or threat level, it is capable of withstanding. There are 7 main standard threat levels: BR1-BR7 (also written as B1-B7), each corresponding to a different type of small arms fire. Additionally, there are two other threat levels (SG1 & SG2) corresponding to shotgun munitions. To be given a particular rating, the glazing must stop the bullet for the specified number of strikes, with multiple strikes placed within 120mm of each other. The glazing should also be shatterproof and produce no spalls after each strike. Lastly, the classification levels are numbered in order of increasing protective strength. Thus any sample complying with the requirements of one class also complies with the requirements of previous classes. However, the SG (shotgun) classes do not necessarily comply with BR classes. The precise test requirements and bullet types used are as follows: LB - Lead Bullet FJ - Full Metal Jacket FN - Flat Nose RN - Round Nose CB - Cone Bullet PB - Pointed Bullet SC - Soft Core (lead) SCP - Soft Core (lead) & Steel Penetrator HC - Hard core, steel hardness > 63 HRC References Glass engineering and science 01063 Armour

The Matrimandir (Sanskrit for Temple of the Mother) is an edifice of spiritual significance for practitioners of integral yoga, in the centre of Auroville established by the Mother of the Sri Aurobindo Ashram. It is called soul of the city and is situated in a large open space called Peace. Structure and surroundings The Matrimandir took 37 years to build, from the laying of the foundation stone at sunrise on 21 February 1971 - the Mother's 93rd birthday - to its completion in May 2008. It is in the form of a huge sphere surrounded by twelve petals. The Geodesic dome is covered by golden discs and reflects sunlight, which gives the structure its characteristic radiance. Inside the central dome is a meditation hall known as the inner chamber - this contains the largest optically-perfect glass globe in the world. The Matrimandir, and its surrounding gardens in the central Peace Area, is open to the public by appointment. The four main pillars that support the structure of Matrimandir, and carry the Inner Chamber, have been set at the four main directions of the compass. These four pillars are symbolic of the four aspects of the mother as described by Sri Aurobindo, and are named after these four aspects.

The Advertising Checking Bureau, Inc. (ACB) is a company that develops, manages and administers local channel marketing programs for manufacturers and their retailers. ACB developed the first services specializing in auditing co-operative (Co-op) advertising invoices to determine the actual rates paid by retailers in daily newspapers in the early 1950s. ACB services include the management of co-op advertising programs for manufacturers, competitive ad tracking services and administration of sales incentive programs. ACB is a privately held company headquartered in New York City, with production offices in Memphis, TN and Tempe, AZ. History The Advertising Checking Bureau was founded in 1917 in New York City by Walter B. Katzenberger. Katzenberger was an Account Executive with a major advertising agency managing the 20 Mule Team Borax account. Tearsheets (ad copies) from complete newspapers were sent by the individual publishers to the agencies as proof that the advertising ran as scheduled. This proof of performance (tearsheet) was required for agencies to pay the advertising invoices. The company established offices in Chicago, Memphis (1948) and Tempe (1983). ACB expanded its core services from Competitive Ad Tracking and Co-op Management, into Incentive programs with rebate and spiff processing in 1999. ACB's first research project was ordered in 1929 by the Colgate-Palmolive-Peet Company. Colgate contracted with ACB to read all newspapers available and pull tearsheets for every retail grocery ad. This Colgate study pioneered Co-operative advertising offerings by leading soap companies. By the mid 1930s, ACB provided Colgate, Lever Bros. and Procter & Gamble with reports on retail newspaper advertising. These reports provided verification for manufacturers to pay the retailers whose advertising met the guidelines of the Co-operative advertising programs. The first computers were installed at ACB offices in 1937 in both New York and Chicago. During World War II, the U.S. Government contacted all firms who owned computer equipment and were not involved in war initiatives to donate this equipment. ACB provided the computers to the government and received a commendation. During the war years of 1940-1945, requests for newspaper advertising tearsheets were received from the U.S. government. ACB prepared reports of all newspaper advertising that promoted War Bonds and other Government drives in effect at the time. These services must have proven valuable to the government's war efforts, and ACB was acknowledged with an Army-Navy "E" Award for Excellence - an award usually given to companies in the defense industry. Playtex Girdle contemplated a co-operative advertising program and hired ACB to compile a retail newspaper advertising report of their own and competitive foundation garments. Around 1951, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigated the corset and brassiere industry due to widespread abuses and illegalities in this industry. The FTC organized an industry meeting and imposed harsh regulations against these abuses. Subsequently, the industry requested that ACB audit Co-op advertising claims for all manufacturers in the corset and brassiere industry. Ownership The Advertising Checking Bureau was privately held by Walter Katzenberger and willed on to his wife, Helen, at the time of his death in 1969. Helen Katzenberger passed ownership of the company on to the Katzenberger Foundation upon her death years later. The Katzenberger Foundation sold to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) in 1985. The ESOP was purchased by management in 2008. References External links Advertising Checking Bureau, Inc.

During the 1991–92 English football season, Southampton F.C. competed in the Football League First Division. Season summary In the 1991–92 season, Ian Branfoot took over as Southampton boss but their fortunes fared no better and only managed to secure a 16th-place finish despite reaching the Full Members Cup final at Wembley only to lose 3–2 against Nottingham Forest. During the summer of 1992, Branfoot became "the most popular manager in English football", as he took telephone calls from clubs "trying to bargain with players they don't want plus cash", conceding that he would be forced to sell 21-year-old top scorer Alan Shearer, following a season of speculation about Shearer's future, with the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United being linked with Shearer's signature in the autumn of 1991. Despite this interest, Shearer decided to stay at Southampton until the end of the season before making a decision about his future. Although Branfoot eventually accepted that a sale was inevitable, he claimed that "whatever happens, we are in the driving seat". Eventually, Shearer was sold to newly promoted Blackburn Rovers for a national record fee of £3.6 million, with Blackburn's top scorer David Speedie reluctantly moving to The Dell as part of the deal. Despite Branfoot's claim to be "in the driving seat", Saints failed to include a "sell-on clause" in the contract.

History BayanTel was the operating arm of BTHC and formerly known as International Communications Corporation (ICC). It was incorporated on April 18, 1961 and is based in the United States. BayanTel is duly enfranchised to provide the following major telecommunications services: Local Exchange Carrier (LEC) service International Gateway Facility (IGF) service; Leased Line service, domestic and international Public Trunk Radio service Public Calling Office service BayanTel's existing nationwide network is composed of satellite, terrestrial and land/submarine based cable facilities. The network includes capacities in the National Digital Transmission Network (NDTN), a joint project of six Philippine telecommunications carriers. BayanTel has 83% capacity interest in the NDTN project. The NDTN is the only major alternative telecommunications backbone in the Philippines, the other being operated by PLDT. The network also includes RCPI's existing Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) microwave network with spur links that also extends from Luzon to Mindanao. Both BayanTel and RCPI's networks are linked together to form a seamless and redundant system. and they have also fiber optic. Ownership, structure and affiliates BTHC is 85.4 owned by the Lopez Group of Companies, a publicly listed holding company owning the Lopez Group’s investments in communications, power, infrastructure and real estate, among others. Other main shareholders of the company is the AIF. AIF is advised by AIFML which oversees approximately US$1 billion in private equity funds focused on Asia with 46% investment in telecoms. Major investors of AIF include Frank Russell Company of the United States, the International Finance Corporation of the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank. The principal companies under BTHC are BTI (98% owned) and Marifil Holdings Corporation (100% owned) which in turn owns 47% of Extelcom and Nagatel (91.5% owned). Extelcom, through the granting of a PA in 1988 and a CPCN in 1993, operates as an analogue cellular service provider in Metro Manila and selected urban centers in the provinces, from northern Luzon to as far south as Visayas and Mindanao. BTHC purchased its initial interest in Extelcom for approximately US$140.0 million in 1996. It then infused PhP765.5 million as part of a capital-raising exercise undertaken by Extelcom in 1997. No further investments or advances have been made by BTHC since. On June 30, 1999, BTHC decided to write-off its investment in Extelcom in recognition of its share in losses incurred by the latter. Takeover by Globe Telecom Globe Telecom, the country's largest telecommunications company, successfully acquired BayanTel through a debt purchase deal. Through Globe's acquisition of 96.17% of the company's debt, Globe is expected to become its largest investor and shareholder through conversion of its debt to equity. Following Globe Telecom’s tender offer for Bayan's debt in 2012, Globe Telecom held 96.5% of the total debt of Bayan at the end of that year. As proposed, restructuring would decrease the outstanding principal debt of Bayan from US$423.3 million to US$131.3 million, through the conversion of up to 69% of Bayan debt into Bayan shares. By converting some of Bayan debt to Bayan equity, Globe now owns 38% of Bayan as of end-2013. A change in control of Bayan requires certain regulatory approvals. The controlling interest of Lopez Holdings over Bayan through BTHC went down from 86% as of end-2012 to 59% as of end-2013.

Rigasche Rundschau was a daily German language newspaper published in Riga from 1867 until 1939. Widely read and quoted across Europe, it was considered the most important Baltic German newspaper as well as the leading liberal periodical in the Russian Empire and independent Latvia during the interbellum. The newspaper experienced its zenith of influence and popularity under Paul Schiemann, who served as chief editor until his removal by supporters of National Socialism in 1933. History Rigasche Rundschau was founded in 1867 by Georg Berkholz and Gustav Keuchel under the name Zeitung für Stadt und Land (Newspaper for City and Country). It had a liberal position and was one of the two most widely circulated German-language newspapers in the Russian Empire, alongside the St. Petersburger Zeitung. As Baltic Germans gradually lost their dominant positions and majority status in Livonian cities throughout the 19th Century, the Rigasche Rundschau took on an increasingly pro-Germanisation stance, though it did not question Livonia's status within the Russian Empire. Consequently, the paper was able to circumvent the ban on German-language press in the First World War and was the only such publication that survived the period. Following the October Revolution, the Rigasche Rundschau was in favor of Latvian independence. The newspaper was finally shut down following the signing of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact and the subsequent Nazi–Soviet population transfers in 1939.

Mineral economics is the academic discipline that investigates and promotes understanding of economic and policy issues associated with the production and use of mineral commodities. Mineral economics [′min·rəl ‚ek·ə′näm·iks] is specially concerned with the analysis and understanding of mineral distribution as well as the ‘discovery, exploitation, and marketing of minerals’. Mineral economics is an academic discipline which constructs policies regarding mineral commodities and their global distribution.  The discipline of mineral economics examines the success and the implications associated with the mining industry and the impact the industry has on the economy socially and regarding the climate. Mineral economics is a continuing, evolving field which originally started after the Second World War and has continued to expand in today's modern climate. The identification of mineral sectors and their associated total revenue from specific commodities and how this varies across Countries is significant for global trade and fecundity. Australia is a leading export in several mineral commodities thus providing a substantial percentage of revenue within the Australian economy. Other various leaders regarding mineral trading and contributions also holds significance in understanding and forming concise parameters to apply and construct. The establishment of such findings addresses concerns regarding societal support and sustainability concerns. The sustainability of the mining industry is also a key focus and how its direct impact on the environment must be monitored and necessary parameters applied. The history of mineral economics Mineral economics did not become an academic discipline until after the Second World War, with the majority of current research being completed in other disciplines and fields. Although, mineral economics has continued to develop since the 1940s by recognising the demand of such mineral commodities and the increase seen in trade globally. From the late 1980s to early 1990s the demand of such mineral and metal products was minimal, with the perception of ’low rates of economic growth’ and ‘decline metal intensity of use’ the mineral economics sector was at risk of a ‘long-term decline’. During the 1990s, economic transition became increasingly relevant across the globe. The proposal of foreign investment and trade, initially in response to the perceived ‘long-term decline’, promoted the demand of mineral resources and in doing so enhanced today's associated revenue of the sector. Sustainability concerning mineral economics was first introduced and discussed in 1993. Sustainability within the mineral sector concerns the following criteria; commercially viable, consistent with social preferences for the environment and acceptable social consequences. Mineral economics global integration Mineral economics is a discipline that concerns several countries globally. Global parameters and perspectives are necessary to ensure impartial diversity across sectors regarding both trading and contribution. The Mining Contribution Index WIDER (MCI-W) ranked the Countries with the largest mining contribution in 2014. The following five Countries listed in descending order; DRC, Chile, Australia, Mongolia and Papua New Guinea are the leading Countries to attain the largest mineral contribution globally. The impact of distributing such mineral commodities has a major affect on the economy internationally, often contributing to employment and generating income. The global demand of Mineral Economics has the potential to cause both positive and negative outcomes on society and the environment. Implementing concise and fair access to mineral commodities was recommended by the Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument (NDICI) in 2021, although this recommendation has not yet been published. Creating a more renowned and inclusive mineral economy has been suggested to encourage higher sustainability of mineral economics respective to the abundance and market value of such commodities. The mineral economics sector in Australia Mineral resources are an increasingly valuable commodity within Australia's mining and mineral sector. Australia's largest exports include ‘coal, oil and gas, metals, non-metals and construction materials’, and their mass distribution accounts for a substantial revenue into the Australian economy. Mineral economics has major influence on government policies which ultimately has systematic implications for the sectors overall success and performance. The mineral economic sector has limiting factors despite the precedented revenue, specifically oil producing nations regarding ‘debt, deficits, inflation and an inefficient public sector’. Consequently, the economic growth seen globally congregates the mineral sector to construct policies and procedures to predict both economic growth and depletion, as well as ensuring socioeconomic viable policies. Such policies also alleviates limiting factors previously mentioned, while also providing the opportunity for trends and associated revenue to be predicted and analysed which offers the potential to provide additional structures of parameters to limit inflation and deficits within the sector. The Australian economy and its contribution The mineral sector is a major contributor to the Australian economy, specifically regarding its profiting revenue. The Australian mineral sector contributes ‘8 per cent of Gross Domestic Product’ into the economy. Australia's exportation of black coal, iron ore, alumina, lead and zinc is identified as the largest global distributor. Mineral commodities and their distribution does not only provide profit to distributors but also offers support socioeconomically. The Australian economy and its leading distributor status, also promotes revenue in worldwide trade through export and relations. Despite this associated contribution, the mineral sector is ‘capital intensive’, relying heavily on machinery, which ultimately only supplements ‘2% of jobs’ within the mining sector, having minimal impact on overall economic benefit. Foreign trade revenue attains contradictory elements also, due to the foreign stakeholders associated within the mining industry and their affiliated revenue, limiting overall economic value for Australia. Sustainability concerns In today's current climate, concerns are present regarding the sustainability of mineral resources. While the mineral sector provides a substantial income into the economy seen in several leading Countries contributing to exports. Mineral economics and the associated sectors, has established concerns effecting the endurance associated with mineral exportation and its associated income. The identification of such sustainability concerns, in relation to different sectors has been heavily discussed in recent years. Aspects such as climate change as well as the production and distribution of mineral commodities within the mining and mineral sector have been determined as significant in relation to concerns of mineral economics. The future of mineral economics The future of minerals and their integration within society relies heavily on mineral economics and the policies constructed. The integration of sustainable energy supplementation reveals concerns regarding the success and future of mineral usage, however it is important to note that technological advancements can not ‘replace energy’ entirely. Despite the current concerns of mineral availability in the future and an expected decline in minerals, a precedented increase of associated costs regarding mineral commodities is precedented. This heightens the necessity of implementing technologies and sustainable practices ensuring longevity of mineral resources and sectors, through recycling mineral resources and ensuring adequate policies are constructed reflective of both trade and exports.

Medal of Honor: Rising Sun is a first-person shooter video game, the fifth installment of the Medal of Honor series, released by EA Games in November 2003. Rising Sun is set in World War II, during the Pacific War. It features single-player and multiplayer capabilities, with multiplayer terminated as of November 2006. In single-player mode, the player assumes the role of Joseph Griffin of the United States Marine Corps. Gameplay Medal of Honor: Rising Sun is a first-person shooter. It has two multiplayer modes, Deathmatch: a free for all match, and Team Deathmatch, in which the player can choose teams. The online multiplayer was one of the more successful elements of the game, coming at a time when online play titles for the PlayStation 2 were not widely available. The online mode attracted and retained a loyal player until its closure in January 2007. The game also has a two-player campaign that follows the same plot (except the omission of Supercarrier Sabotage) and allows either player to respawn if the other is still alive. This, however, lacks many things the main campaign has, including the entrenching tool, the machete and most of your squadmates. Offline multiplayer is also available, where up to four people can play against each other and optionally AI bots. Plot On December 7, 1941, U.S. Marine Corporal Joseph D. 'Joe' Griffin awakens on the USS California to the attack on Pearl Harbor. He makes his way topside, putting out fires and aiding crewmen along the way, and meets up with Gunnery Sergeant Jack 'Gunny' Lauton, his commander. Joe works to shoot down planes and destroy torpedoes. He is blown off the ship, but is rescued by a PT boat carrying Gunny, Private First Class Frank Spinelli and Private First Class Silas Whitfield. Joe gets in the turret and shoots down planes to defend Battleship Row. After witnessing the sinking of the USS Arizona, they defend the USS Nevada as it attempts to escape harbor. On January 1, 1942, Joe and Gunny are stationed in the Philippines, where they meet up with Joe's younger brother, Donnie, who is in a Marine demolition unit. Donnie and the demolition engineers need to blow Calumpit Bridge, but their demolition truck got captured. The three successfully get the truck back, and the bridge is blown, but Donnie is still inside a tank when it is overrun by Japanese soldiers, and is presumed dead. On August 7, 1942, Gunny, Joe and two other Marines are part of a midnight raid on Guadalcanal to take an airfield and destroy an ammo dump before the main assault at dawn. On October 14, 1942, however, the Japanese are hammering them with artillery from their position codenamed 'Pistol Pete'. Because of this, Gunny gives Joe two Marines and the mission to take out Pistol Pete. The mission is successful, and, along the way, they meet up with Martin Clemens, a Scottish guerrilla fighter and coastwatcher, 2 natives called Selas and Kiep and they rescue P.O.W. Lieutenant Edmund Harrison, a demolitions expert who blows up the guns for them. The mission is successful, and Joe is recommended by Gunny to the Office of Strategic Services and promoted Sergeant. On March, 1943, Joe is sent to Japanese-occupied Singapore to infiltrate a top secret Axis summit led by Japanese Commander Shima. He meets up with Private First Class Ichiro 'Harry' Tanaka, a Japanese-American OSS operative, and Major Philip Bromley, a British SOE operative. Joe manages to steal German Colonel Kandler's uniform, and infiltrate the summit, where Japanese Commander Masataka Shima reveals the discovery of large quantities of gold in Burma; and introduces General Sergei Borov, a Russian traitor of the Allies who plans to overthrow Stalin to forge peace between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. Joe's cover is blown when Kandler bursts in, but Bromley arrives, and the two fight their way out of the hotel, and Tanaka picks them up in a double decker bus. On April 26, 1944, the three are sent on a mission to investigate Japanese gold smelting operations in temples in Burma. While there, Raj, their Flying Tigers pilot, is shot down, and they set to work getting him back. Bromley and his men destroy four AA guns so a proper air strike can be done, and Tanaka and Joe infiltrate the temples, and rescue Raj. The air strike destroys the gold smelting operation, and the mission is successful. On July 17, 1944, Joe falls out their plane while in Thailand while they are investigating a train with Shima's gold in it. He meets up with Bromley, and they blow up a train full of Shima's gold, but more of it is aboard Shima's supercarrier, so they fly there, and arrive the next day. Bromley and Joe fight their way below deck, sabotaging the ventilation system and fuel tanks and planting explosive charges to sink the ship, while Tanaka infiltrates the officer's quarters to find Shima. Joe and Bromley are gassed and captured after much fighting, and Shima interrogates them. Tanaka manages to free Joe, but is personally killed by Shima. Joe fights his way through more of the ship, and witnesses Shima escaping with Donnie in a plane. Eventually, Joe and Bromley meet on deck, and steal a plane. After several failed takeoffs and shooting down many enemy planes, they get off the ship moments before their charges detonate and cause the carrier to sink. Bromley mourns Tanaka's death, but promises Joe that they will locate Shima and rescue Donnie. The ending to Medal of Honor: Heroes revealed that Joseph was planning POW rescue raids, signifying that Joseph was eventually able to rescue Donnie later in the war. Reception The PlayStation 2 version of Medal of Honor: Rising Sun received a "Double Platinum" sales award from the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association (ELSPA), indicating sales of at least 600,000 copies in the United Kingdom; and a "Gold" certification from the Verband der Unterhaltungssoftware Deutschland (VUD), for sales of at least 100,000 units across Germany, Switzerland and Austria. The game received "mixed or average" reviews according to video game review aggregator Metacritic. Critics agreed that the opening Pearl Harbour missions was a great introduction to the game, however the later missions afterwards were considered sub-par in comparison, leading to question whether the game was released unfinished. Rising Sun did receive an award for "Outstanding Achievement in Original Music Composition" during the AIAS' 7th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards. Cancelled sequel A sequel was originally planned in which players would have assumed the role of Joseph's brother Donnie. However, this was canceled after Rising Sun received mixed reviews.

In the United States, the Physical Evaluation Board ("PEB") is a board within each military service that "determine[s] the fitness of Service members with medical conditions to perform their military duties and, for members determined unfit because of duty-related impairments, their eligibility for benefits pursuant to chapter 61 of Reference (c) [10 USC Chapter 61]...Service members may appeal the decision of the PEB. The PEB process includes the informal physical evaluation board, formal physical evaluation board and appellate review of PEB results."The Physical Evaluation Board is an important part of the Disability Evaluation System and determines whether a member should continue to serve in the US military and, if not, what military disability benefits and compensation the member may be entitled to receive. Military compensation and benefits are different from Department of Veterans Affairs benefits and compensation, though within the framework of the Integrated Disability Evaluation System process the ratings supplied by Veterans Affairs are binding on the military. Legal authorities The legal authorities for the Physical Evaluation Boards and Disability Evaluation System processing follow the normal framework of the hierarchy of legal authorities within the United States. Statutes passed by the US Congress have primary authority. Regulations promulgated by agencies have the next level of authority and, to the extent that they do not conflict with the statutes, are binding. Within the regulatory regime, the U.S Department of Defense is higher authority over the individual military services, and to the extent that service regulations conflict with Department of Defense regulations, the latter should generally prevail unless Congress has specifically granted the service secretaries authority to decide a specific issue. Of note in reviewing the "law" of Physical Evaluation Boards and the Disability Evaluation System is that the various military service regulations generally lag behind more recent regulatory issuances of the Department of Defense. Applicants have the right to an MEB, the right to an impartial review of the MEB and to appeal the MEB, the right to a formal Physical Evaluation Board hearing, and the right to appeal the PEB's findings. The result of the Physical Evaluation Board and the Disability Evaluation System process overall may impact the member's total compensation, entitlement to compensation, healthcare benefits (including for eligible dependents), and miscellaneous benefits that any length of service retiree is entitled to receive. Statutory Framework Title 10 United States Code ("U.S.C.") Chapter 61 is the main statutory authority for the Secretaries of the Services Departments to retire or separate members for physical disability. 10 U.S.C. § 1201, "Regulars and members on active duty for more than 30 days: retirement." 10 U.S.C. § 1202 "Regulars and members on active duty for more than 30 days: temporary disability retired list." 10 U.S.C. § 1203 "Regulars and members on active duty for more than 30 days: separation." 10 U.S.C. § 1204 "Members on active duty for 30 days or less or on inactive-duty training: retirement." 10 U.S.C. § 1205 "Members on active duty for 30 days or less: temporary disability retired list." 10 U.S.C. § 1206 "Members on active duty for 30 days or less or on inactive-duty training: separation." 10 U.S.C. § 1206a "Reserve component members unable to perform duties when ordered to active duty: disability system processing." 10 U.S.C. § 1207 "Disability from intentional misconduct or willful neglect: separation." 10 U.S.C. § 1207a "Members with over eight years of active service: eligibility for disability retirement for pre-existing conditions." 10 U.S.C. § 1208 "Computation of service." 10 U.S.C. § 1209 "Transfer to inactive status list instead of separation." 10 U.S.C. § 1210 "Members on temporary disability retired list: periodic physical examination; final determination of status." 10 U.S.C. § 1211 "Members on temporary disability retired list: return to active duty; promotion." 10 U.S.C. § 1212 "Disability severance pay." 10 U.S.C. § 1213 "Effect of separation on benefits and claims." 10 U.S.C. § 1214 "Right to full and fair hearing." 10 U.S.C. § 1214a "Members determined fit for duty in Physical Evaluation Board: prohibition on involuntary administrative separation or denial of reenlistment due to unsuitability based on medical conditions considered in evaluation." 10 U.S.C. § 1215 "Members other than Regulars: applicability of laws." 10 U.S.C. § 1216 "Secretaries: powers, functions, and duties." 10 U.S.C. § 1216a "Determinations of disability: requirements and limitations on determinations." 10 U.S.C. § 1217 "Academy cadets and midshipmen: applicability of chapter." 10 U.S.C. § 1218 "Discharge or release from active duty: claims for compensation, pension, or hospitalization." 10 U.S.C. § 1218a "Discharge or release from active duty: transition assistance for reserve component members injured while on active duty." 10 U.S.C. § 1219 "Statement of origin of disease or injury: limitations." Regulatory Framework The Department of Defense and military service departments have promulgated regulations implementing the laws contained in 10 U.S.C. Chapter 61.

SpinnWebe was the personal website of Greg Galcik, also known as "spinn." It gathered the most fame as the home of the Dysfunctional Family Circus, which ran in the late 1990s. Additionally, the site was the showcase for a number of Galcik's other projects, which generally had interactive humor as the unifying theme; in this respect, it anticipated the development of later sites such as Fark and Something Awful. The name SpinnWebe comes from an infamously bad machine translation of the German word for "spider web." Origin In March 1993, Galcik started an FTP site on a machine called "spider," named after the song Spider by They Might Be Giants. This site began as a way to serve files for various personal projects, including audio samples from TMBG songs. As the site continued to grow and as Web technology began to emerge, he began to phase out the FTP site in June 1994 and created "The Spider WWW Site." Galcik later shortened the name to "SpiderWeb", but after receiving a letter from a company called Spiderweb Communications warning they carried a trademark on the name "Spiderweb", he changed the name of the site to "SpinnWebe" in April 1995. Galcik also derived his Internet alias, "spinn", from this word. Dysfunctional Family Circus In 1995, Galcik started the SpinnWebe version of Dysfunctional Family Circus (DFC), an interactive parody of the comic strip The Family Circus where visitors were invited to submit alternative captions for the widely syndicated Bil Keane comic strip. Galcik and a group of editors hand-picked the best captions for publication on the site. This curated approach is unusual, especially for a website with as much traffic as the DFC: the pool of submissions often exceeded a thousand captions per comic, and were generally edited down to around sixty. Fans of the DFC claim that this editing process helped maintain a higher standard of humor that other Family Circus parodies could not reach. Bil Keane has stated that he was initially unbothered by the parody, but he began to become uncomfortable with it due to the prevalence of blue humor in the published captions, and because readers were complaining to him. In September 1999, King Features Syndicate, the distributor of Family Circus, sent a cease-and-desist letter to Galcik. While the case could certainly have been contested on the basis of fair use, Galcik elected to honor the request out of courtesy toward Keane. Other highlights SpinnWebe was home to many different features, some of which had their own domain names. Projects included: A-1 AAA AmeriCaptions and its earlier incarnation It's a Dysfunctional Life, a feature similar to the DFC where visitors write captions for candid photos Trapezoidal Inclination, or Brainshots, a blog that has run, on and off, since December 2000 amusing.org, which presents a different visitor-submitted sentence or phrase six times a week, often of a surreal or absurd nature, and also allows users to submit illustrations of past entries abevigoda.com, a site that shows Abe Vigoda's current "status" (alive or dead) Scribs, a webcomic that also has a "reader mail" section, in which readers submit questions for the two central characters to answer Other notable projects included the Nipple Server (in which users rated pictures of Galcik's left nipple based on a rubric of panache, color, perkiness, and overall impression), and 1-900-ZWEBLÖ (an advice column in which web-submitted questions were answered by members of a fictitious secret cabal or shadow government).

The Middle Ground is a 1980 novel by British novelist Margaret Drabble. It is her ninth published novel. The novel explores the "crisis of British urban life" through the eyes of a middle aged journalist, Kate Armstrong. Several critics compare the narrative to Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway, with critic Roberta Rubenstein calling the novel "essentially plotless" instead exploring human relationships in a particular time and space. Intertextuality The novel contains long reflections on Kate's past; several critics describe these reflections as similar to Mrs. Dalloway. Kirkus Reviews describes the same stylistic features, writing that the novel is "Told almost completely in a series of ruminations (Kate's and her friends'), the book has a vulnerable, occasionally fey, but almost consistently charming lurch to it." The novel also has episodes that give homage to Proust. Critic Roberta Rubenstien suggest that the title of the novel likely refers to Henry James's The Middle Years. Reception The novel had mixed reception. The New York Times reviewer Phyllis Rose, described the novel as part of Drabble's chronicling of 20th century British culture, comparing her to Dickens and Balzac, though in doing so it is a "faltering step in her development". However, Rose had mixed feelings about the novel's treatment, describing it as focusing too much on commentary, writing "it hurts the novel that it is so mercilessly topical." Margaret Forster called the novel "not a novel but a sociological treatise". Kirkus Reviews gave praise for the novel, writing "with each succeeding novel, Drabble appears to edge ever closer to being E. M. Forster's heir: rich works, turned and molded by helpless circumstance, about the apprehensions and redemptions of staying responsible."

Spitalul de Urgenţă, literally "Emergency Hospital", is a Romanian rock band, integrating elements of traditional Romanian music into a sometimes hard-edged rock sound, although also incorporating influences as diverse as Balkan folk music, European classical music, and cartoon soundtrack music. The group was formed 2000 in Bucharest. Spitalul de Urgenţă is also the Romanian title of the American television show ER, but band leader Dan Helciug says that the name actually derived from a time they were playing a concert and "all the musicians arrived injured… we looked like a band from a hospital." Helciug has now worked with quite a range of musicians and continues to release music in this style under the name Spitalul de Urgenţă more or less regardless of exactly who he is playing with. He also plays in the more rock oriented band Nod, which he describes as a blend of Rammstein, Depeche Mode and Korn. Helciug's lyrics often feature a bitter wit that does not lend itself to easy translation, especially because of his tendency to paraphrase (both musically and lyrically) pieces of well known traditional songs. For example, the chorus of their song "Trăiască Berea" ("Long Live Beer") uses a phrase from a traditional song, "Foaie verde şi-o lalea" ("Green leaf and a tulip"): Trăiască berea in care ne-am născut Traiăscă berea că tare ne-a durut Foaie verde şi-o lalea Fie pâinea cât de rea Chiar aici in ţara ta Tot ţi-o fură cineva. - "Trăiască berea", Dan Helciug Long live beer in which we were born Long live beer, for we've suffered much Green leaf and a tulip However bad the bread may be Even here in your own country Someone will steal it [the bread] from you. - "Long live beer", Dan Helciug The album Alcool Rafinat ("Refined Alcohol", 2005) includes a number of covers and parodies including a reworking of the Judas Priest song "Breaking the Law" as "Caut un bou" ("Looking for an Ox"), in which a cow wanders through Bucharest looking for love, and a more straightforward translation of the Tiger Lillies' song "Whore" as "Curva".

Hilary B. Price (born 1969) is an American cartoonist. She is known for creating the comic strip Rhymes with Orange, which is published digitally on her website and in over one hundred newspapers across the United States. At the age of 25 she became the youngest cartoonist to ever be nationally syndicated. She won the Silver Reuben for "Best Newspaper Panel Cartoon" from the National Cartoonists Society four times, in 2007 and 2009, 2012 and 2014. Early life and career beginnings Price grew up in Weston, Massachusetts. She studied English at Stanford University. She originally had no intentions of becoming a cartoonist, but eventually began submitting strips to The New Yorker, without success. She was then hired as a freelance copywriter for an ad agency in San Francisco. Whilst there she submitted her comics to the San Francisco Chronicle, and they were published in the opinion and book review section. Her success at the Chronicle inspired her to begin submitting her work for syndication. In 1995, Price received a call from King Features Syndicate to request more samples of her work, and by June of that year she was syndicated. Price was just 25 years old at the time, which makes her the youngest cartoonist to achieve national syndication. Work Price publishes her panels almost daily to her website named after her strip ("Rhymes with Orange"). The title is derived from the belief that no English word rhymes with orange. Price's panels often feature animals such as cats and dogs in lieu of humans and don't feature any reoccurring characters. Her strip's format is also unique in design. A typical Price comic features one long panel where the illustration and dialogue are found, and to the left is a smaller panel with the title of the strip and often a secondary punchline and smaller illustration. This setup has the reader going from right to left rather than the typical left to right found in most Western comics. In addition to her website her work has also appeared in Parade Magazine, Funny Times, People and Glamour. Price has released several compilations of her work in books, one of those being "Hanukkomics" in which she gathered all of her comics about Jewish culture and holidays. Her inspirations for comics include "Dr. Seuss for the rhymes, Shel Silverstein for the clever word play and black-and-white illustrations, and The New Yorker cartoonists Roz Chast, Sam Gross and George Booth." But her main influence comes from greeting card artist Sandra Boynton. In the eighth grade, Price learned that Boynton, who she had assumed was a male, was in fact a female. This opened up the idea to Price that women could do "funny drawings" too. Personal life Price is an openly gay, Jewish woman who lives in Florence, Massachusetts with her partner, dog, and cat. She plays ice hockey.

Mark Essen, better known as Messhof, is an American video game designer and artist best known for Nidhogg, its sequel, and Flywrench. Career In college, Messhof made games with GameMaker and Microsoft Paint software. An early game, Punishment 1, began as a group assignment in an advanced, experimental class. His other early games included Wally, Bool, Booloid, Punishment 2, and Flywrench, uploaded on his website. His work was profiled in The Creators Project and the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, and shown in the New York New Museum, Toronto Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, and Liverpool Foundation for Art and Creative Technology. He was cited by a Savannah College of Art and Design instructor as a successful example of blending arts aesthetics and video games. Messhof developed Nidhogg, a fast-paced, side-scrolling sword fighting game between 2010 and 2014. Its first prototype, Raging Hadron, was expanded over four years to include online multiplayer, new environments, and new gameplay modes. Messhof balanced development as the sole programmer with development on other games and both teaching and student commitments in graduate school. He taught classes on intermediate game design and experimental mobile games at University of Southern California's Interactive Media & Games program. Nidhogg production's pace increased when he formed a studio, also known as Messhof, with Kristy Norindr, who found other collaborators for finishing the project. An expanded version of the game, Nidhogg 2, was illustrated by artist Toby Dixon and includes new levels, music, and weapons.

Baker's Bay Golf & Ocean Club is a private resort community in the Northeastern Bahamas. The development is located near Baker's Bay in Great Guana Cay situated between the Sea of Abaco and the Atlantic Ocean. The project is a resort development of 385 homes. Developed by Discovery Land Company, the project will include a Tom Fazio-designed 18 hole golf course, 200-slip marina, Marina Village resort area, and a private club that includes beach club and spa. The golf course is notable for its very relaxed dress code, which permits and even encourages golfers to play barefoot. Lawsuits The majority of Great Guana Cay residents have taken Baker's Bay Club to court. A group of residents, supported by the coral reef conservation community, believe the development will destroy their coral reef. Seventy five of the ninety one Bahamians on Great Guana Cay oppose Baker's Bay Club over the subject of whether the central government of the Bahamas has the right to offer public land to foreign developers at the expense of Bahamian use and preservation of the land. The initial lawsuit by Save Guana Cay Reef lost in the Supreme Court after the developer halted development for several months. In a Freeport Tribune article, attorney Fred Smith was quoted, "We believe we have a very strong case, and have been denied due process. The issue of the ability of the Prime Minister to bind the country as to Heads of Agreement will be determined at the highest level… for the future development of the Bahamas, these are matters which are of fundamental importance." In 2006, Jean-Michel Cousteau stated in a letter to the Prime Minister, "...the Bakers Bay Golf and Ocean Club development on Great Guana Cay may undermine the environmental health of the region; specifically affecting the nesting sea turtles of Gumelemi Cay and to the north, and impacting the neighboring reefs adjacent to the proposed golf course."

"One Way Out" is the tenth episode of the American streaming television series Andor, based on Star Wars created by George Lucas. It was written by Beau Willimon and directed by Toby Haynes. The episode stars Diego Luna as Cassian Andor, who reprises his role from the Star Wars spinoff film, Rogue One (2016). Haynes was hired in September 2020 after a production delay due the COVID-19 pandemic, and Tony Gilroy joined the series as showrunner in early 2019, replacing Stephen Schiff. Both executive produce alongside Luna and Kathleen Kennedy. "One Way Out" was released on Disney+ on November 9, 2022. It received critical acclaim, particularly for Andy Serkis' performance, and was named among the best television episodes of the year by many publications. In addition, the episode earned an Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series for Willimon. Plot Loy is hesitant to commit to Andor's plan the following day, but soon realizes they have no choice as it is the only time the lift will be lowered - for the prisoner replacing Ulaf. He manages to convince his floor of prisoners that they need to escape. The next morning, they do their shifts as usual and, whilst Andor is busy cutting open a water pipe, two of his friends stage a fight. The water short-circuits the controls on the guards lift and the prisoners attack them with parts previously used for manual labour, although many are killed. Groups of prisoners reach other floors, releasing them too whilst Loy and Andor reach the control room. They take the terrified guards hostage, and Andor convinces Loy to give a speech over the intercoms to inspire the rest of the prisoners to revolt. They charge through the prison, overwhelming the guards and making it to the bridge leading out to the sea that surrounds Narkina 5. Loy reveals he cannot swim and stays behind to die, whilst Andor is knocked into the water before he can help. Hours later, Melshi and Andor run together across the planets beaches, with Imperial soldiers and ships surveying the area. Meanwhile, on Ferrix, Maarva Andor is growing weaker, yet is determined to help take down the Empire now running the planet. Cinta Kaz spies on her, and is in turn being spied on by Dedra Meero's associate Corv. Mon Mothma attempts to bargain with criminal Davo Sculdun, but is disgusted by his proposal to marry their children instead of payment. She angrily send him out, but Sculdun understands that she will consider his offer. Meero and her co-workers discovers her plan to frame a captured rebel pilots death as an accident worked, with the Empire now ready to ambush Kreegyr's entire rebel section. Kleya Marki receives a hidden message from her and Luthen Rael's Empire contact wanting to meet. Meero's co-worker Lonni Jung is revealed to be this contact, and communicates with Luthen through a headset hidden in a lift. Jung wants to stop being a double agent for fear of his wife and newly born daughter's lives, and warns him of Meero. He reveals her capture of the rebel pilot and imminent death of Kreegyr and his group, but Rael is willing to sacrifice them all to keep Jung's identity a secret, distressing him. The lift doors open, revealing Rael is there in person. He angrily chastises Jung for wanting to leave, despite Jung's offers of Meero, Spellhaus and Ferrix. Jung realises he is trapped in the position and asks Rael if he values what Jung has sacrificed. Furious, Rael responds he has given up inner peace for a free world he will likely die before seeing and implores Jung to continue working for the cause. Production Development Disney CEO Bob Iger announced in February 2018 that there were several Star Wars series in development, and that November one was revealed as a prequel to the film Rogue One (2016). The series was described as a spy thriller show focused on the character Cassian Andor, with Diego Luna reprising his role from the film. Jared Bush originally developed the series, writing a pilot script and series bible for the project. By the end of November, Stephen Schiff was serving as showrunner and executive producer of the series. Tony Gilroy, who was credited as a co-writer on Rogue One and oversaw extensive reshoots for the film, joined the series by early 2019 when he discussed the first story details with Luna. Gilroy's involvement was revealed that October, when he was set to write the first episode, direct multiple episodes, and work alongside Schiff; Gilroy had officially replaced Schiff as showrunner by April 2020. Six weeks of pre-production for the series had taken place in the United Kingdom by then, but this was halted and production on the series delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Pre-production had begun again by September ahead of a planned filming start the next month. At that time, Gilroy, who is based in New York, chose not to travel to the UK for production on the series due to the pandemic, and was therefore unable to direct the series' first episode. Instead, the UK-based Toby Haynes, who was already "high on the list" of potential directors for the series, was hired to direct the first three episodes. Gilroy would remain executive producer and showrunner. In December 2020, Luna was revealed to be executive producing the series. The tenth episode, titled "One Way Out", was written by Beau Willimon. Writing Following the standalone episode "Announcement", Andor resumed its structure of a three-episode story arc. The third story arc features Andor being imprisoned within Narkina 5 and galvanizing his incarcerees into escaping. Actor Andy Serkis had interpreted the episode as being a turning point in Kino Loy's character arc, as he "finds that desire to act on behalf of others again, to serve others, to enable others to find their freedom, even though he knows ultimately it's not going to happen for him" after being oppressed by the Empire. Andor had known that Kino was the right person to galvanize the prisoners into escaping, and as such, encouraged him to deliver a speech to inspire them. Serkis had felt that it had reflected the similarities between Kino and Andor's characters, and interpreted Kino reusing Andor's words of "I'd rather die trying to take them down than die giving them what they want" as being his way of thanking Andor. The intercutting of footage that occurs during Kino's monologue was written into the script. Writer Beau Willimon had noted that the rallying cry of "One way out" could be interpreted both literally, as the only way of going through was escaping, or metaphorically, as the prisoners were chanting it together while also conveying that "you're seeing [that the] only one way out of the oppression, and the Empire, is collectively working together. With risk and sacrifice". He went on to describe it as the "bigger launcher for the rebellion". While writing the scene in which Kino reveals he can't swim, writer Beau Willimon felt it exemplified that Kino's "greatest moment of triumph is also his greatest moment of tragedy" and included it after it was suggested from the writers' room, while director Toby Haynes had felt it was them saying "goodbye", who was surprised by it while reading the script. Kino's fate was deliberately written to be ambiguous, but Serkis and Haynes confirmed that though he was alive, his fate was unknown. Commenting on Luthen Rael's sudden decision to sacrifice Kreegyr in order to protect his ISB information Lonni Jung, Gilroy had described Luthen's decision as being that of a "chess player" who was "sacrificing a castle to protect his queen". He also added that Luthen would start to become more paranoid as he would be in more danger once he had begun to expand his schemes, saying "You’re seeing the beginning of those issues in episode ten and in this tranche", going on to label his tactics as being accelerationist. As such, he felt Luthen's monologue had "comes out of that, and the whole concept of the engineer comes out of that and a whole new approach to the shabbiness and shittiness of it". Meanwhile, Willimon had described the scene between Lonni and Luthen as being "incredible", as Luthen had spoken honestly and was in "the process of sacrifice and risk", and observed that Lonni seeing Luthen's face was a "huge risk". The monologue had also highlighted the moral conflicts that Luthen and Mon Mothma had been facing when supporting the Rebellion movement. Willimon had noted that Mon Mothma was contemplating sacrificing her daughter's fate to support it while Luthen had "sacrificed everything", particularly love, to which Willimon remarked that it "is perhaps the biggest sacrifice you can make because a life without love is sunless". Casting The episode stars Diego Luna as Cassian Andor, Kyle Soller as Syril Karn, Adria Arjona as Bix Caleen, Joplin Sibtain as Brasso, James McArdle as Timm Karlo, and Rupert Vansittart as Chief Hyne. Filming Filming began in London, England, at the end of November 2020, with the production based at Pinewood Studios. The series was filmed under the working title Pilgrim, and was the first live-action Star Wars series to not make use of the StageCraft digital background technology. Filming locations included Black Park in Buckinghamshire, England for the flashback scenes, as well as at Middle Peak Quarry in Derbyshire, England. The Narkina 5 scenes were shot at the end of Andor filming. The final scene of the prison break, in which the prisoners jump from the platform into the ocean and Kino Loy states he can't swim, was filmed on the final day. During Kino's monologue, Serkis had wanted to balance his performance in order to ensure it had come across as authentic rather than feeling scripted. As such, he had described Kino "trying to find his mojo" following Andor saying "Is that all you got?" as being a "genuine sort of thing". Haynes had filmed his monologue in single takes, estimating that they had filmed five of them. However, he felt that Serkis had "nailed it" on the second take, saying that "the energy, the emotion, that all came from take two" and that the rest of the takes had been to correct minor issues. He also said that it took Serkis some time to figure out the perfect tone to deliver Kino's line, "I can't swim", until he decided to perform it in a "serene way". While filming Luthen Rael's monologue, actor Stellan Skarsgård had performed the scene 10 times "in a row, very fast, right on top of each other" until both he and Gilroy was satisfied with the final outcome. Music Nicholas Britell composed the musical score for the episode. The episode's soundtrack was released in December 2022 as part of the third volume for the series. Release "One Way Out" was released on Disney+ on November 9, 2022. Reception Critical response The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reports 100% approval rating, based on 21 reviews. The site's critical consensus reads, "Andy Serkis unleashes his fury and steals the show in "One Way Out", a galvanizing climax to the "Narkina 5" arc." The episode was ranked by many publications as one of the best television episodes of the year. Accolades At the American Cinema Editors Awards 2023, Simon Smith's work on the episode won the award for Best Edited Drama Series. At the 2022 British Society of Cinematographers Awards, Adriano Goldman's work on the episode was nominated for Best Cinematography in a Television Drama. At the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards, Beau Willimon's work on the episode was nominated for Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series.

Weathers, stylized as WEATHERS, is an American alternative rock band from Los Angeles consisting of lead vocalist Cameron Boyer, guitarist Cameron Olsen, and bassist Brennen Bates. Their music is characterized by driving, upbeat anthems contrasted by introspective lyrics that focus on the themes of coming of age and mental health. Their style is inspired by the counter-culture of the 1980s - 2000s. Members of the band have cited modern influences such as The Killers, The All American Rejects, Sir Sly, My Chemical Romance, as well as bands of the 80's and 90's such as Depeche Mode, The Cure, Pixies, and The Police. Weathers has toured supporting many alternative acts, including Saint Motel, Nothing but Thieves, Dreamers, Palaye Royale, One Ok Rock, Badflower, Echosmith and Meg Myers. History Formation The band's roots trace to 2011 when Cameron Boyer initially formed an ensemble known as “One Youth” before transitioning to the moniker “Above Seclusion," under which two albums were released. Brennen Bates was recruited to the band after responding to Boyer's audition post on Facebook. Cameron Olsen crossed paths with Boyer during the 2012 Manhattan Beach Battle of the Bands, where Olsen was competing with his own band, "Colorblind.” Former member Cole Carson was recruited as a drummer in the fall of 2013. Carson's father and Boyer's father were members of a high school cover band “Wild Cats,” establishing a musical connection between the two. On July 9, 2014, Above Seclusion underwent another rebranding, adopting the name “Signal City” and unveiled their debut track, "Fortune". The band released four singles before officially forming as "Weathers" in October 2015. On 15 February 2022, the band announced via their Instagram page that Carson had left the band. Debut singles (2015) Weathers released singles "I Don't Wanna Know" and "Happy Pills" in 2015. "Happy Pills" was the most added song on alternative radio on its impact date, receiving the most adds for a new artist in the 2010s. "Happy Pills" peaked at No. 21 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart. Kids in the Night (2016) Weathers debuted their album Kids In The Night (2016) in two separate EPs, Kids In The Night Part 1 and Kids In The Night Part 2. Lead singer Cameron Boyer said about the release of the first EP "It's about accepting your flaws and realizing that the so-called ‘bad' things about you are actually what shape you into who you are now — a stronger, better person. It's asking, ‘Are the bad things really bad or are they just temporarily hard?'". Our Little Secret (2020) and Our Other Little Secret (2021) Following Kids in the Night, Weathers released the singles "Dirty Money", "Problems" (and its acoustic version), "Lonely Vampire", and "Always Tired" in 2019. The “Problems” music video was directed and produced by lead singer Cameron Boyer. In 2020, the songs "Feel Good", "C'est la vie," and a cover of Britney Spears’ "Lucky" (together with Songs That Saved My Life) were released, along with the EP Our Little Secret (2020), available exclusively on their webstore. The EP contained four tracks, (1) “Losing Blood”; (2) a previously unreleased “Talking is Hard”; (3) “C’est la vie”; and (4) “Feel Good." The second exclusive EP, Our Other Little Secret (2021), contained six tracks, (1) the previously unreleased “American Dream”; (2) “Dirty Money”; (3) “Always Tired”; (4) “Lonely Vampire”; (5) the currently unreleased demo “Sucker”; and (6) a Red Light Version of “Happy Pills”. Pillows and Therapy (2021) and Demos & Relics (2021) “Loosing Blood”, “Talking is Hard”, “C’est la vie”, and “American Dream” were all later included as a part of the album Pillows and Therapy (2021). The “C’est la vie (Cinematic Mix)” was released April 2021. Weathers released singles "Rehab" (06/04), and “Karma (07/16),” before the release of their album Pillows and Therapy (08/13) in 2021. The band also released three web exclusive EPs that year containing demos as well as acoustic versions of previously released songs. My Friends Have Better Friends (2022) In 2022 Weathers released the single Alone Again featuring Robert DeLong, four days before the departure of drummer Cole Carson. The single was part of the web exclusive EP My Friends Have Better Friends containing five tracks (1) "Alone Again"; (2) unreleased demo "Not Enough"; (3) "One Of A Kind"; which would become the opening track to their third album, (4) unreleased demo "Stay The Night," their first track produced by Jason Suwito; and (5) "Are We Having Fun." Fans frequently speculate as to why "Are We Having Fun" remains unreleased, as it later became the title to their third album . Are We Having Fun? (2023) In 2023 the song "ALL CAPS" featuring John the Ghost was released, accompanied by a music video and followed by the release of "She Hates Me". On the 5th of May 2023, Weathers released Are We Having Fun? together with a music video for "One of a Kind". The album was produced by Jason Suwito.

Health care in Poland is insurance based, delivered through a publicly funded health care system called the Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia, which is free for all the citizens of Poland provided they fall into the "insured" category (usually meaning that they have health insurance paid for by their employer, or are the spouse or child of an insured person). According to Article 68 of the Polish Constitution everyone has a right to have access to health care. Citizens are granted equal access to the publicly funded healthcare system. In particular, the government is obliged to provide free health care to young children, pregnant women, disabled people, and the elderly. However, private health care use is very extensive in Poland. Patients who are uninsured have to pay the full cost of medical services. According to a study conducted by CBOS in 2016, out of 84% patients taking part in the survey, 40% declared use of both private and public health services, 37% use only public health care, and 7% use only private health services. 77% of all responders declared using private health care is caused by long waiting for public health care services. Financing and health expenses The main financing source is health insurance in the National Health Fund. Citizens are obligated to pay insurance fees (redistributed tax) which is 9% deducted from personal income (7,75% is deducted from the tax, 1,25% covered by insured goes directly to the National Health Fund). The national budget covers around 5% of all health care expenses. Since 2007 emergency rescue services are financed in total from the national budget. About 70% of health expenses in Poland are covered by the National Health Fund, with the remaining 30% coming from private health insurance. Structure The management of the public health system is divided between the Minister of Health and three levels of territorial self-government. It has been suggested that this delays response to problems. The structure of the health system in Poland is regulated by these laws: The Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia is the National Health Fund of Poland. Health service providers Health care units functioning as economic operators Self-sufficient public health care units: research institutes, foundations, associations, and churches. Private health care: medical, nursing, birth attendant, dentistry Drug stores Primary care The basis of the healthcare system is the primary care physician, who is most commonly a specialist in family health. They are responsible for conducting treatment and taking preventive actions for assigned patients. If sickness requires the intervention of a specialist, the first contact doctor issues referral to a hospital or other health care unit. Primary care surgeries are open from Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. At other times the Narodowy Fundusz Zdrowia has contracts with 24-hour medical service units. Addresses and telephone numbers of units providing 24 hour-medical service are available in primary healthcare surgeries. A referral is not needed for oncology, gynecology, psychiatry, dentistry, or sexually transmitted diseases. Not all dental treatment is covered by the health insurance scheme. Control and supervising institutions National Sanitary Inspection (pol. sanepid) National Pharmacological Inspection Patients Ombudsman Voivodeship centers of public health Ministry of Health responsible for creating and executing national health programs, control and supervision on general health situation Access to health services According to The Act 240 dated 27.08.2004 about Health Care Public Funding, access to health care services can be provided if patient is able to confirm having health insurance by presenting a document such as an Insurance card, an Insurance card for employee family members or a Pensionary card Referral is required to get access to: hospital treatment recovery treatment rehabilitation chronic disease care Referral is not required for patients: suffering from tuberculosis infected with HIV combatants, war invalids, and repression victims blind civilians if they are victims of war privileged soldiers, veterans in case of treatment of injuries and infections during fulfilling duties outside country borders drugs and alcohol addicted taking medical examination for organ donation Emergency medical services Emergency Medical Services (, RM) in Poland are a service of public, pre-hospital emergency healthcare, including ambulance service, provided by the individual Polish cities and counties. Services are typically provided by the local, publicly operated hospital, and are generally funded by the government of Poland. In a number of cases, hospitals contract the services to private operators. In addition to publicly funded services, there are a variety of private-for-profit ambulance services operating independently. Problems The health care system in Poland has had problems for many years. According to the Euro health consumer index 2018, Poland was on 32nd place out of 35. The main problems listed in Health Consumer Index 2016 are: difficult access to specialist physician (especially to hospital treatment) and a long time of waiting for health services: planned serious surgery more than 90 days, cancer treatment more than 21 days, tomography more than 7 days bad results in cancer treatment: no access to modern medicines and high level of mortality digital structure of health information: difficulties with electronic prescriptions and referrals, no access to examination results or list of authorized physicians See also Health in Poland References

Lakshadhikari () is a 1963 Indian Telugu-language thriller film directed by V. Madhusudhana Rao. The film stars N. T. Rama Rao and Krishna Kumari, with V. Nagayya, Gummadi, Relangi, Ramana Reddy, Mikkilineni, K. V. S. Sarma, Suryakantham, Girija and Rushyendramani in supporting roles. It is the debut production of Tammareddy Krishna Murthy and D. Venkatapathi Reddy's company Ravindra Art Pictures. It was released on 27 September 1963, and became a commercial success. Plot Rangayya is a millionaire, whose loyal and trusted manager is Seethayya. Seethayya's wife Lakshmi takes care of Rangayya's motherless son. Rangayya's brother-in-law, the greedy Sivam, frames Rangayya for murder, has him sent to prison for 20 years, and kidnaps his son. But the boy is saved by a childless couple Pichayya and Achamma, who found him unconscious on the river bed and raise him as Prasad. Later, Achamma gives birth to a daughter, Leela. Seethayya's daughter Padma falls in love with Prasad. Seethayya offers Prasad a high-ranking position in his pharmaceutical company. Rangayya is released upon completing his prison term. Prasad learns the truth about his parentage. Strange things happen, which Prasad suspects are centered around Seethayya's house. With help from Padma and S. S. Rao (the servant Panakalu's son), he solves the mystery and exposes Seethayya as the real culprit for the wrong deeds. Cast N. T. Rama Rao as Prasad Krishna Kumari as Padma V. Nagayya as Rangayya Gummadi as Seethayya Relangi as S. S. Rao Ramana Reddy as Pichayya Mikkilineni as Panakalu K. V. S. Sarma as Sivam Suryakantham as Achamma Girija as Leela Rushyendramani as Lakshmi Production Development After working as a production controller at Sarathi Studios for years, Tammareddy Krishna Murthy established his own production company Ravindra Art Pictures (named after the poet Rabindranath Tagore) with his friend D. Venkatapathi Reddy as partner. For the company's debut production, which would eventually become Lakshadhikari, Krishna Murthy signed V. Madhusudhana Rao to direct and Narla Chiranjeevi as writer. The original story was simply a family drama, which did not fully satisfy Krishna Murthy. When Krishna Murthy met producer Parvathaneni Gangadhara Rao, the latter advised him to include an element of suspense in the story, and Krishna Murthy liked the idea. Heeding to Krishna Murthy's wishes, Narla Chiranjeevi rewrote the story to make it look more like a thriller. Cinematography was handled by C. Nageswara Rao, and the editing by Akkineni Sanjeeva Rao. Casting and filming N. T. Rama Rao was cast as the male lead Prasad; the fact that he and Krishna Murthy bonded during the making of Palletooru (1952), which was Krishna Murthy's cinematic debut as production manager, helped him get Rama Rao's dates for Lakshadhikari. Krishna Murthy initially chose Nagabhushanam to play the character Seethayya, but later replaced him with Gummadi as he felt he could "conceal villainy behind his soft demeanour and mislead the audience." One scene filmed at the swimming pool of the College of Engineering, Guindy had Padma (Krishna Kumari) in a swimsuit, but it was edited out by the Censor Board who declared that "the heroine should not wear a swim suit". The exterior portions of Chandamama Buildings in Vadapalani stood in for the college where Padma and Leela (Girija) study. The end of the song "Mabbulo Yemundi" required that Rama Rao and Krishna Kumari walk holding each other's hands on the seashore. As they were walking, a giant wave swept them away. Krishna Kumari did not know swimming and almost drowned, but Rama Rao held her hand tightly and saved her. Peketi Sivaram created the film's revolver sound effects. Soundtrack The soundtrack was composed by T. Chalapathi Rao. Release and reception Lakshadhikari was released on 27 September 1963. The film performed well at the box office, and became a trendsetter for more suspense-filled films in Telugu.

In Greek mythology, Lamedon ( ; Ancient Greek: Λαμέδων) also known as Laomedon, was the 18th king of Sicyon who reigned for 40 years. Family Lamedon was the younger son of King Coronus the Sicyonian, and brother to King Corex. He was married Pheno, daughter of the Athenian Clytius, and had by her a daughter Zeuxippe. Mythology After his older brother died without issue, Lamedon was to succeed him, but the kingdom was seized by Epopeus. However, Epopeus died of a wound he had received in the battle against Nycteus, and Lamedon took over as his heir; according to Pausanias, Lamedon was responsible for giving Antiope up to Lycus. Later, when Lamedon was engaged in a military conflict against Archander and Architeles (sons of Achaeus and the husbands of the Danaïdes Scaea and Automate), he had Sicyon of Attica for an ally. In reward for Sicyon's assistance, Lamedon gave him Zeuxippe to wife and pronounced him his successor.

The E. S. Greening House was a historic house at 707 East Division Street in Hope, Arkansas. It was a two-story wood-frame structure built in 1903, with a projecting bay rising a full two stories and a shed-roof porch wrapping around two sides of the house. The house was notable primarily for its high quality and elaborate interior woodwork, even though its exterior was not a particularly elaborate version of Queen Anne styling. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987. As of 2014, it has apparently been demolished, and is (according to the Arkansas Preservation Office) in the process of being delisted from the National Register.

Amis and Amiloun is a Middle English romance in tail rhyme from the late thirteenth century. The 2508-line poem tells the story of two friends, one of whom is punished by God with leprosy for engaging in a trial by ordeal after the other has been seduced and betrayed. The poem is praised for the technical competency displayed in the stanzaic organization, though its quality as a chivalric romance has been debated. It is found in four manuscripts ranging from c. 1330 to c. 1500, including the Auchinleck Manuscript. Story The poem's plot revolves around two sworn friends, Amis and Amiloun, who are born to different parents in different parts of a kingdom but look identical. They serve the same duke. Amis falls in love with a beautiful girl, Belisaunt, who seduces him, but the duke's steward betrays him to the duke. Since Amis cannot swear to have not had relations with the girl, Amiloun takes his place in the trial by battle which ensues and kills the steward, even though an angel had told him that he would be struck with leprosy—after all, Amis was guilty. Amis and Belisaunt get married and he succeeds the duke but Amiloun, now a leper, is driven out of the land by his wife. As he begs for a living with his nephew Owain, later dubbed Amoraunt, he returns to Amis's castle and is recognized by a golden cup he had gotten from Amis while they were young. Amiloun is tended to for a year, after which angels appears to both in their dreams, saying that the blood of Amis's children will cure Amiloun's leprosy. Amis indeed performs the act, and Amiloun is cured. The children are miraculously found intact. After all this, the friends return to Amiloun's castle and defeat the wife, who was about to marry another man, and her forces. Owain is appointed lord. Amiloun returns with Amis; years later, they die on the same day and are buried together. Source and manuscripts The story derives from a French, eleventh-century chanson de geste; the English text most likely comes from a now-lost Anglo-Norman poem (Gibbs notes that later derivatives are frequently hagiographic). Its dialect hails from the North-eastern Midlands. The poem is preserved in four manuscripts: National Library of Scotland MS Advocates 19.2.1, the Auchinleck Manuscript (c. 1330) British Library, Egerton MS 2862 (c. 1400) British Library, Harley MS 2386 (c. 1500) Bodleian Library, MS Douce 326 (catalogue number 21900) (c. 1500) None of these manuscripts preserves a complete version of this poem. Manuscripts Advocates 19.2.1 and Egerton MS 2862, however, have relatively minor gaps which can be filled by the other. Harley MS 2386 is a fragment, preserving just under 900 lines of the poem. Critical evaluation The tail rhyme stanzas were praised highly by the text's editor for the Early English Text Society, MacEdward Leach. Later critics agreed with the evaluation of the poet's metrical and stanzaic skills, but were less impressed by the development of the narrative and the machinery involved, especially in the sacrifice of the children, where, according to A.C. Gibbs, the poet "tries spasmodically to infuse a quality of realism into his ideal situation." Gibbs also notes that while Belisaunt is initially a "vivid and forceful" woman, she quickly turns into "a featureless upholder of the poem's morality."

Rosa moschata, the musk rose, is a species of rose which has been long in cultivation. Its wild origins are uncertain but are suspected to lie in the western Himalayas. Description Rosa moschata is a shrub (to 3m) with single white 5 cm flowers in a loose cyme or corymb, blooming on new growth from late spring until late autumn in warm climates, or from late summer onwards in cool-summer climates. The sepals are 2 cm long with slender points. The flowers have a characteristic "musky" scent, emanating from the stamens, which is also found in some of its descendants. The prickles on the stems are straight or slightly curved and have a broad base. The light- or greyish-green leaves have 5 to 7 ovate leaflets with small teeth; the veins are sometimes pubescent and the rachis bears prickles. The stipules are narrow with spreading, free tips. Small, ovate fruits called hips are borne, turning orange-red in autumn, popular rosehip seed oil is processed with Rosa moschata seeds This species has historically been confused with Rosa brunonii, a closely related, tall-climbing species from the Himalayas that bears flowers in late spring and which possesses a similar, musky scent. They can be distinguished in gardens by their season of flowering and by their differing growth habits. The variety 'Plena' bears semi-double flowers, and a form with study name "Temple Musk", found in the United States, bears more fully double flowers. Cultivation It has been contended that no truly wild examples of the musk rose have been found, though it is recorded in cultivation as least as far back as the 16th century, indeed being mentioned in A Midsummer Night's Dream (1595/96). It is important in cultivation as a parent to several groups of cultivated roses, notably the damask rose and the noisette group, and is valued for its scent and for its unusually long season of bloom among rose species.

Fade Away is a novel by author Harlan Coben. It is the third novel in his series of a crime solver and sports agent named Myron Bolitar. Plot summary Fade Away is a novel featuring Myron Bolitar, a sports agent, hired by the New Jersey Dragons to find a missing basketball star. Myron and his team of associates, work together to puzzle out the disappearance of Greg Downing, drawing Myron into danger, both physical and emotional. Myron Bolitar is a sports agent and sometimes investigator, called by Clip Arnstein, the owner of the New Jersey Dragons. Clip's star player is missing and he wants Myron to find him. Greg Downing had been Myron's rival throughout their youth and college days. Both had been drafted to play professional basketball, but Greg is the only one that made it. Myron's knee had been injured in what was believed to be a freak accident on the court, and he had never played professionally. Clip wants Myron to take Greg's place on the team, feeling that the other players would be more open with him rather than an investigator. Myron is reluctant yet excited at the same time. Having never had the opportunity to play pro-ball, he is anxious to know if he can make it with the Dragons. Myron investigates Greg's disappearance with the help of his closest friend, Win. The two men discover a mysterious woman had left a message on Greg's answering machine to arrange a meeting the night he vanished. Following leads, Myron discovers the woman has been murdered, and Greg is the main suspect. Initially believing that Greg had a drug problem, Myron discovers that the woman had in fact been blackmailing Greg, though he does not know why. Greg also has a large gambling problem, and Myron thinks that may be what the blackmail involves. Further investigation reveals that the mysterious woman is in fact a fugitive. A member of the Sixties radical group The Raven Brigade, Liz Gorman had contacted Greg after the group had robbed a bank in Arizona several months previously. The investigation takes several twists and turns, involving custody battles between Greg and his wife Emily, a former girlfriend of Myron's, and the assistance of Audrey Wilson, the sports reporter that covers the New Jersey Dragons. Audrey uncovers the real reason that Myron is on the team, and convinces him that the two of them can work together to find Greg. In exchange for sharing information, Audrey agrees not to release the story about Greg disappearing. Audrey discovers that Greg had hired a private investigator to follow Emily. Myron uncovers a video tape of Emily and Maggie Mason, a woman known as Thumper, having sex. Mason has close ties to the team. Myron believes Emily had been set up and can understand her extreme anger at Greg. The murder weapon is discovered in Greg's house, and other evidence that had been in the house vanishes. It is clear that someone is trying to frame Greg for murder, while another person may be trying to protect him. In another development, the blackmailers contact Myron and offer to sell him the information they had offered Greg. Events come to a head when Myron meets up with the leader of the Raven Brigade, Cole Whiteman. He admits that he and Liz Gorman had indeed been blackmailing Greg, but will not reveal with what. Leaving him, Myron meets up with Audrey, and receives a phone call from the blackmailer. The two travel to a remote location and meet with a man in a ski mask. Audrey shoots the man, claiming he was going to kill Myron. Myron confronts her. Audrey had killed Gorman to protect Greg and their unborn child. It had been Audrey that cleaned up the evidence at Greg's house, leaving the murder weapon planted by Emily, as it had not been discovered. The blackmailer at the scene was in fact a homicide detective, part of the set up to catch Audrey. Myron returns to the Arena to confront Clip Arnstein and is handed an audio cassette. On the tape is evidence that Myron's injury so many years ago was not an accident after all. Greg had paid another player to hurt Myron. Though he had not intended for the injury to be career ending, Greg was angry at Myron for having a one-night stand with Emily the night before their wedding. Arnstein had known about the tape from the beginning and could think of no other way to tell Myron. Arnstein wanted Myron to have closure. Myron realizes that though his basketball career was ended, he had created a life for himself, a good life with friends and people that love him. Despite his loss of a career in basketball, he had moved on, becoming successful. Myron still mourned for the chances that he had missed in life, but cherished the chances he had been given. Major Themes Friendship Friendship is a strong theme in the novel. The deep friendship of Myron and Windsor Horne Lockwood III is clearly evident. Myron can depend on Win, no questions asked. The two had met in college, and no matter which directions their lives turn, the friendship remains. Myron is also close friends with Esperanza Diaz, his assistant at MB SportsReps. Myron and Esperanza understand each other in the way that brothers and sisters do. Win and Esperanza both know and understand Myron well, sometimes better than he understands himself. When Myron is given the chance to play professional basketball again, both refuse to attend the games, unwilling to see Myron suffer the loss of the game again. Esperanza feels that Myron will give himself to the game completely, and the loss will crush him. Win has always felt that Myron's injury was intentional, and had never followed up at Myron's request. Still, the thought of seeing Myron on the court would be too much of a reminder for Win to bear. Myron's friendship with Win and Esperanza is enduring and trusting. The three are free to express themselves honestly, without worry of offending each other or losing the true friendship that they share. Deception The central plot of Fade Away, is the blackmail of Greg Downing. The blackmailers themselves practice deception, by trying to blackmail many people with the same information. Greg Downing had paid for someone to injure Myron, and the Raven Brigade had discovered this information when they had robbed a bank in Arizona. Clip Arnstein also practices deception when he hires Myron to find Greg. Though Clip is aware of the blackmail, and the proof that Myron's injury was intentional, he does not reveal this to Myron at the outset. Clip is unsure of how to tell Myron the truth, so he orchestrates Myron's discovery of the tape revealing the original plot by Greg. Audrey Wilson's deception is the most dramatic. Though she tells Myron that she is working with him to locate Greg simply as a guarantee to be first with the story, in reality she is also looking for Greg. The blackmail scheme had driven Greg into hiding, and Audrey, in order to protect her husband and unborn child had killed the blackmailer, Liz Gorman. By working with Myron to find Greg, Audrey is also keeping track of the investigation, covering her tracks and protecting Greg when he becomes the prime suspect Loyalty Many characters exhibit loyalty throughout the novel. Myron's friends, Esperanza and Win are extremely loyal to him. Though Esperanza shrouds her caring in sarcasm and humor, she is a bit like a guard dog, always watching to make sure Myron is safe. Esperanza deeply dislikes Myron's girlfriend Jessica, because Jessica had left him and broke his heart years before. Even though Jessica has returned and Myron seems to be happy, Esperanza still refers to her as 'the bitch.' Myron does not like the name, but accepts that Esperanza loves him and still hurts for the times that he had suffered. The fact that Esperanza and Win will not attend any of the games Myron plays in also demonstrates loyalty. They are aware that he had been devastated when he was injured and forced to give up the game he loves. Myron is deeply loyal to his girlfriend Jessica. Though Jessica had left him a few years earlier, they had gotten back together. Myron believes in the love they have for each other, even though Esperanza has made it clear that she does not like of trust Jessica, Myron exhibits his loyalty to Esperanza, by allowing her to feel the way that she does, without getting angry at her outbursts. Perhaps the oddest loyalty throughout Fade Away, is Myron's loyalty to Greg. Myron feels a bond with Greg due to the competitive nature of their relationship in their youth and college years. Because of this loyalty, Myron works throughout the novel to find Greg, as well as prove his innocence in the murder of Liz Gorman. This loyalty is misplaced, as Greg is the person who had caused Myron's injury ten years ago, ending his career in professional basketball. Setting The novel takes place in many different locations in the New York metropolitan area. The Continental Arena, home of the New Jersey Dragons is located in New Jersey, as is the main character, Myron Bolitar's hometown of Livingston. Myron's office is located in the same building as Locke-Horn Securities in Manhattan. A central location in the novel is the Meadowlands Arena, the home of the New Jersey Dragons, where Myron plays professional basketball for the first time. Much of the novel takes place within the city of New York as well as Greenwich Village. The storyline follows Myron Bolitar as he searches for Greg Downing. Myron travels throughout different areas of the city the outlying suburbs in his search for Greg, as well as trying to find the truth behind the murder of Liz Gorman. Style Point of View The novel is written in the third person, omniscient. For the most part, Myron Bolitar is the main focus, however there are brief passages where his assistant Esperanza is highlighted. Myron, as the main character, is the center of the majority of the novel, however Esperanza is highlighted in order to bring important facts to the readers attention. Characters Myron Bolitar Myron Bolitar is a 32-year-old sports agent and owner of MB SportsReps. Myron lives in his parents basement, but spends most nights at the apartment of his girlfriend Jessica. A former basketball player, Myron was destined to be a star with the Celtics when a career ending injury forced him to give up the game he loved. Myron moved on with his life, getting his law degree and starting the agency, but never lost his love for the game or his desire to play. Myron gets drawn back into the game of basketball when he agrees to help Clip Arnstein find Greg Downing, one of the stars of the New Jersey Dragons. Playing professional basketball is both a thrill for Myron, and difficult at the same time. As much as Myron loves the game, he comes to realize that he does not have what it takes to play pro ball. Following leads into Greg's disappearance, Myron discovers that Greg is being blackmailed. Though at first Myron believes that the blackmail scheme involves Greg's gambling problem, it is revealed that the information the blackmailers possess is much more personal. Ten years earlier, Myron had been injured in what he believed to be a freak accident on the court. In truth, the injury had been set up by Greg Downing in retaliation for Myron having sex with Greg's wife the day before their wedding. Windsor Horne Lockwood III Windsor Horne Lockwood III is Myron's best friend. President of the investment firm Locke-Horn Securities, Win is somewhat of an enigma. Wealthy and intelligent, he looks the part of the aristocratic blue blood, however, he is also a loner, letting very few people into his inner circle of friends. Win is very loyal to those whom he considers his friends, Myron being the closest friend he has. The two men had been roommates in college, and have been best friend ever since. Myron runs his sports agency, and Win runs the family firm, and both have been known to work for the FBI undercover. Win stays to himself for the most part and has no close relationships other than Myron. Raised in a world of power and prestige, Win seems not to have developed the personality to become close to people, preferring his lifestyle of one-night stands with no strings attached. Win readily admits to Myron that he is not the person with whom to discuss personal relationships, as he does not have any way to guide himself, let alone anyone else. Myron and Win seem to balance each other. Both are intelligent and care for other people. However, Myron has a conscience, and Win does not appear to have one. Esperanza Diaz Myron's right hand 'man' at MB SportsReps, Esperanza is the former star of the Fabulous Ladies of Wrestling, or FLOW. Spotted by a modeling agent at the age of seventeen, Esperanza had finally made a name for herself as Little Pocahontas. Now, working with Myron, Esperanza also attends night school, working toward her law degree. Esperanza and Myron share what seems to be a brother and sister type of relationship. Esperanza holds nothing back with Myron, expressing her opinions freely, with no thought that Myron will be angry. Esperanza is very clear about her feelings toward Myron's girlfriend Jessica, calling her 'the bitch.' Esperanza has never forgiven Jessica for leaving Myron and breaking his heart many years ago. Myron understands this, and though he asks her not to call Jessica names, realizes that Esperanza cares for him deeply. Esperanza is a key character in the novel Fade Away, as it is she that discovers the reason the blackmailers have contacted Greg. Esperanza also shows her depth of caring for Myron when she contact Win immediately in order to protect Myron from discovering what is on the blackmailer's tape. Jessica Jessica is Myron's girlfriend and a writer. Myron and Jessica began dating right before Myron was injured ten years ago, forcing him to give up his dream of professional basketball. Though they had broken up previously, they are back together, and though Myron technically still lived in his parents basement, the majority of the time he spent the night at her apartment. Jessica is one of the few people who does not question Myron's taking Greg's place on the Dragons. Though everyone else that knows Myron is worried that he will be hurt when his chance is over, Jessica feels that Myron needs to play, even if only to prove to himself that he can not play the way he used to. It is Jessica's feeling that when Myron was injured he turned to her, crushing their relationship under the weight of his needs. Greg Downing A star player on the New Jersey Dragons, Greg disappears, causing Clip Arnstein to hire Myron to find him. Greg has been known to run away from problems before, and as he is in the middle of an ugly custody battle with his ex-wife Emily, the team owner thinks that things may have gotten to be too much for Greg. Myron is hired to find him. Myron feels a bond with Greg, as they had been competitors in their youth and though college. Myron believes that the bond they share had made them both better players. Myron had been injured before his chance to play for the Celtics, but Greg had gone on to become a major star. In his search for Greg, Myron uncovers a blackmail scheme and murder, making Greg the main suspect of the police. Myron proves his innocence in the murder, but discovers that his knee injury was not a freak accident as he had thought for the past ten years, but had been orchestrated by Greg in retaliation for Myron sleeping with Emily the night before their wedding. Audrey Wilson Audrey Wilson is the sports writer assigned to the New Jersey Dragons. Audrey seems to catch on to the reason that Myron is actually on the team and convinces him that they should work together to solve the mystery of Greg's disappearance. In exchange for not releasing the information to the public, Myron agrees to share whatever he finds with her. Audrey agrees to use her contacts to find out what she can about Greg's personal life. Audrey is actually using Myron in order to find Greg, her secret lover. Audrey had killed Liz Gorman, the blackmailer, in order to protect Greg and the future of her unborn child.

The Adoption Information Disclosure Act, formally An Act respecting the disclosure of information and records to adopted persons and birth parents, also known as Bill 183, is an Ontario (Canada) law regarding the disclosure of information between parties involved in adoptions. The Act was passed by the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in 2005 and put into force on September 17, 2007. Significant sections of it were quashed just two days later in a ruling by Judge Edward Belobaba of the Ontario Superior Court. On November 13, 2007, the Ontario government announced that instead of appealing Belobaba's decision, it would opt to amend the act to contain a universal disclosure veto. It accordingly introduced the Access to Adoption Records Act on December 10, 2007, which passed third reading in May 2008 and took effect in September 2008. Background From 1927 until the mid-1980s, certain measures existed in Ontario to preserve anonymity between birth parents and adoptees; this was consistent with adoption practice elsewhere in Canada and the United States at that time. The practice was reduced but not eliminated for current adoptions, but there remained the question of what to do with existing adoption records: how does the right to information for either party compare with the obligation of honouring past commitments to privacy? Adoptees and birth parents could apply to be put onto the government-run Adoption Disclosure Register, but the process was long, the resources for active searches for birth relatives were limited, and success was not guaranteed. NDP MPP Marilyn Churley introduced several bills into the Legislative Assembly starting in the late 1990s. Her strong stance for open records was personally motivated, as she had placed a child for adoption years earlier and was later reunited with him. None of these bills were passed. Bill 183 In 2005, Sandra Pupatello introduced Bill 183, the Adoption Information Disclosure Act. It permits the disclosure, to an adult adoptee, of that adoptee's original full name, birth certificate, and the names of birth parents. To birth parents, it permits the disclosure of an adoptee's legal (adoptive) name. The bill was supported by the Ontario Association of Children's Aid Societies. It was criticized by others, many of whom were opposed to its lack of a general disclosure veto (see below). Ontario Privacy Commissioner Ann Cavoukian stated that the bill was insufficiently respectful of implicit or explicit promises of anonymity made to birth mothers in the past. Several adoptees including Denbigh Patton and birth parents campaigned actively against the bill, Patton arguing that he alone should decide when, if ever, to release his identity to his birth parents. Bill 183 was passed 68 to 19 by the Legislative Assembly of Ontario on November 1, 2005. All 19 votes against the bill came from the opposition Conservatives, who objected to the lack of a disclosure veto provision. Disclosure veto question Unlike several other retroactive adoption disclosure laws in Canada and unlike any of Churley's proposals, Bill 183 did not have any universal "disclosure veto" provision. Such a provision typically allows a party to issue, within a fixed time period after the law's introduction, a request that his or her identifying information not be released. The bill did provide a "contact veto", similar to a restraining order whereby a concerned party can request not to be contacted by his or her birth relative, but this does not prevent the release of the person's name. As well, Bill 183 did have a restricted disclosure veto. Adoptees or birth parents could apply to a tribunal to prohibit the release of their identifying information in cases where they can demonstrate their safety is at stake. Court challenge A group of adoptees and "birth parents", opposed to the new law, promised upon the bill's passage to mount a constitutional challenge to it, and retained noted Toronto lawyer Clayton Ruby for this purpose. COAR (Coalition for Open Adoption Records) obtained amicus curiae status to put forward their side in this court case, supporting the position of the Ontario government. The presiding judge, Justice Edward Belobaba, stated that "I'm not ready to buy those three words: right to privacy," and noted earlier that the lawyers mounting the constitutional challenge on behalf of three adoptees and a birth father "have the tougher job." Belobaba ultimately sided with the challengers, writing that the act breached the privacy provisions granted by the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. He noted that while the Charter protected the privacy rights of the challengers he did not see similar rights for those searching for information saying "...this is not a case where we have competing Charter-protected rights. The applicants' right to liberty under s. 7 has been breached. The rights of the searching adoptees or birth parents to the disclosure of confidential adoption information, although important and heartfelt, are not protected by s. 7 or any other provision of the Charter." Advocates of open records continue to express concern that in the wake of increased security measures, many documents relating to immigration, passports and travel require presentation of a long form birth certificate, which they say is not available to Ontario adoptees. They claim that for adult adoptees who are unsuccessful in obtaining long form birth certificates, travel, employment and immigration can be in some circumstances effectively prohibited. Those on the other side of the debate continue to express relief at the inclusion of a non-disclosure veto in the proposed new law, saying it would strike a reasonable balance between the right of adoptees to know their parentage, the desire of "birth parents" to learn the fate of their progeny and the right of adult adoptees and others to control the uses of private information held in government records.

Benedetta Tagliabue – EMBT Career Enric Miralles (1955-2000) and Benedetta Tagliabue collaborated to form the renowned architecture firm Benedetta Tagliabue - EMBT in Barcelona in 1994. Coincidentally, their relationship started right before the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, which marked the apex of the city's development and architectural style.  This studio has offices in Barcelona (HQ), Shanghai, and Paris. The studio is one of the most renowned Spanish architectural firms in the world. Its primary philosophy is carefully responding to each project’s context and site conditions. It employs sensitive integration practices and creates a dialogue between design and its surroundings. Mainly undertaking public projects, the office emphasizes the urban, cultural and material values of its design, resulting in unorthodox, subtle organic forms that echo the context’s history, landscape and material presence. Today, under the direction of Benedetta Tagliabue, the Miralles-Tagliabue-EMBT studio works on architectural projects, open spaces, urbanization, restoration and exhibitions, trying to preserve the spirit of the tradition of Spanish and Italian artisan architectural studios, whose aim is not specialization. Their architectural philosophy pays particular attention to the environment.

Edward Bunker (August 1, 1822 – November 17, 1901) was a Mormon pioneer and community founder of Bunkerville, Nevada. Early life Bunker was born in Atkinson, Maine, the youngest of Silas and Hannah Berry Bunker's nine children. As a teenager in the fall of 1841, he struck out on his own with his brother-in-law John Berry to Wisconsin "to see the country." Conversion to Mormonism Bunker did not make it to Wisconsin that winter. Because the rivers and lakes were frozen by the time they reached Ohio, he and John decided to visit a friend in Kirtland, Ohio. There, they met Martin Harris. John and Bunker both read the Book of Mormon and Parley P. Pratt's A Voice of Warning. John eventually went to see members of his family in Pittsburgh, while Bunker remained in nearby Cleveland, attending meetings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and being baptized in April 1845. In the spring, Bunker and John finally made it to Wisconsin, but they soon left for Nauvoo, Illinois, with a letter of introduction to apostle George A. Smith. Nauvoo and Iowa Bunker arrived in Nauvoo nearly a year after the death of Joseph Smith, at which time the Latter Day Saints were busily preparing to abandon Nauvoo. He worked briefly across the river in Montrose, Iowa, where he met Emily Abbott. They were married in Nauvoo in February 1846, just before the pioneers began their first long trek across Iowa. Bunker and Emily soon left Nauvoo and traveled halfway across Iowa, helping to found the settlement at Garden Grove. He and a friend built a one-room log cabin and moved their wives into it. Bunker then went to Missouri with the intention of earning enough money to buy a team, a wagon, and supplies for the journey. Mormon Battalion While he was in Missouri, Bunker heard about the call for volunteers to form the Mormon Battalion. He returned to Garden Grove and was one of the first to volunteer. The Battalion marched to Santa Fe, Tucson, San Diego, and finally to Los Angeles, where Bunker finished the six months he had left in his tour of duty. He was discharged in July 1847. Bunker then traveled north with other Battalion members to Sutter's Mill, where gold was discovered, and then to Salt Lake City, arriving on October 16, 1847. They stayed only briefly, and then set out for Winter Quarters, Nebraska to rejoin their families. They had a very difficult journey, having left so late in the season. The Platte River was frozen, and they were reduced to eating rawhide saddles and a mule that fell through the ice before they reached Winter Quarters on December 18. Bunker spent the night with some friends, not realizing that Emily and their son had moved from Garden Grove to Winter Quarters and were nearby. Mormon pioneer Bunker moved his family to Missouri to earn money for an outfit, and then to Mosquito Creek in Iowa, where he raised corn. He bought a team and wagon for his family, and with his mother-in-law and her two small sons, they emigrated in 1849. They settled in Ogden, Utah Territory, and he served on the first Weber Stake High Council of the LDS Church and Ogden's first city council. When plural marriage began to be lived openly in 1852, Bunker took a second wife, Sarah Ann Browning Lang, a widow with two daughters. Bunker was called on a mission to England in 1852, and he presided over the Bristol, Sheffield, Bradford, Lincolnshire, and Scotland conferences of the LDS Church. On the way home from his mission, Bunker led a handcart company to the Salt Lake Valley in 1856, arriving just before the early winter set in that trapped the Martin and Willie handcart companies in Wyoming. Bunker returned to Ogden, serving as a bishop there for several years. In April 1861, he married a third wife, 14-year-old Scottish immigrant Mary McQuarrie. Bunker pioneered again in Santa Clara, Utah. This was one of the most difficult settlements because the pioneers were repeatedly washed out by floods of the Virgin River and the Santa Clara River. They also had to deal with extremes of heat and drought. He served as the bishop in Santa Clara for 12 years. Bunker, on his own initiative but with permission from Brigham Young, moved his large polygamous family 25 miles southwest to Bunkerville after the settlers in Santa Clara had failed to live the communitarian United Order. The residents of Bunkerville, so named by Brigham Young, shared the work and the fruits of their work, with all land being held in common. In 1892, Bunker was called before an LDS Church high council in St. George to discuss his public opposition to the Adam–God doctrine. After submitting his arguments to the council (and eventually, the President of the Church), he was told that his teachings were incorrect and that he should stop creating contention in the Mormon community. Despite this period of defiance, by 1900, he had been ordained a patriarch in the church. In October 1901, at the age of 79, Bunker went to help found the Mormon colony at Colonia Morelos, Sonora, Mexico. He died there on November 17, 1901.

Vampire Academy is an American fantasy horror television series based on the novels series of the same name by Richelle Mead. Adapted for Peacock by Julie Plec and Marguerite MacIntyre, the series is produced by Universal Television. It stars Sisi Stringer, Daniela Nieves, Kieron Moore and André Dae Kim alongside an ensemble cast. It is the second adaptation of the novel series, after the 2014 film of the same name, and serves as a reboot. Unlike the film, it does not adapt a particular novel of Mead's series, but instead takes the basics, inspirations, and elements from the six novels, using them to tell a different story. It was given a straight-to-series order in May 2021 by Peacock, and casting announcements were made in 2021. The filming took place in Spain and Portugal. The series features characters from the books and re-imagined versions of others. It revolves around Rose Hathaway who is a guardian-in-training Dhampir, and Lissa Dragomir, who is a Moroi princess, and follows their life and adventures at the St Vladimir's Academy, a boarding school. The series premiered on September 15, 2022 on Peacock to generally positive reviews. In January 2023, the series was canceled after one season.

The film, based on the first book, was released theatrically in United States in February 2014 and was a box-office bomb. Following the movie failure, Preger Entertainment launched a Indiegogo campaign to help fund the production for a sequel based on the second novel, Frostbite. However, the campaign failed to reach its goal and the project was ultimately cancelled. In March 2015, Julie Plec expressed on Twitter a desire to adapt the books into a television series. In May 2021, Peacock picked up Vampire Academy straight-to-series with Plec and Marguerite MacIntyre as developers and also expected to executive produce alongside Emily Cummins and Jillian DeFrehn, as part of Plec overall deal at Universal Television. Don Murphy, Susan Montford, and Deepak Nayar, who produced the 2014 film, also joined the series as executive producers. On January 20, 2023, Peacock canceled the series after one season. Though Plec initially announced that they were shopping the series to other platforms, she confirmed in April 2023 that cast contracts had expired, ending chances of a revival. Casting In August 2021, the core cast for the series was set, including Sisi Stringer as Rose Hathaway, Daniela Nieves as Lissa Dragomir, Kieron Moore as Dimitri Belikov, and André Dae Kim as Christian Ozera. J. August Richards, Jonetta Kaiser, and Andrew Liner were cast as Victor Dashkov, Sonya Karp, and Mason Ashford, respectively.

Sten Einar Stensen (born 18 December 1947) is a former speed skater. Together with Amund Sjøbrend, Kay Stenshjemmet, and Jan Egil Storholt, he was one of the legendary four S-es ("four aces" in Norwegian), contemporary Norwegian top skaters in the 1970s and early 1980s. Stensen excelled at the longer distances, especially the 5,000 m and 10,000 m, and set two world records. He was World Allround Champion in 1974 and European Allround Champion in 1975. He also won Olympic gold on the 5,000 m in Innsbruck in 1976. For his accomplishments, he received the Oscar Mathisen Award in 1974 and 1976. During the 1976 European Allround Championships in Oslo, Stensen (the defending European Champion), set a new world record on the 10,000 m, but he still lost his title to fellow Norwegian Kay Stenshjemmet by a tiny margin of only 0.005 points (equivalent to 0.10 seconds on the 10,000 m). Stensen won gold on the 5,000 m at the 1976 Winter Olympics the next month, a race in which Piet Kleine won silver and the world record holder on that distance, Hans van Helden, won bronze. Still being the world record holder on the 10,000 m, Stensen was the favourite for that distance three days later, but he was beaten by Kleine in a close race. Again, Van Helden finished third. After ending his speed skating career in 1978, Stensen became a Norwegian broadcasting commentator at speed skating events.

Nancy Cappello ( Marcucci; October 30, 1952 – November 15, 2018) was an American breast cancer activist who was known for her campaign to improve disclosure on the limitations of mammography and the difficulty in identifying cancer for those with dense breast tissue. She worked as a special education teacher in her hometown of Waterbury, Connecticut, and later as an educational administrator in the Connecticut state department. After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003, Cappello started an organization called Are You Dense? in order to improve notification laws for women with dense breasts, as it was due to not being informed that her cancer had not been identified sooner through non-mammogram methods. By 2019, 37 U.S. states had passed a breast density inform law as she had advocated, along with a federal law being passed to update the notification rules in February 2019. Early life and education Cappello was born in Waterbury, Connecticut, on October 30, 1952, to Stephen A. Marcucci, a plumbing business owner, and Antoinette Llorens. She attended Watertown High School and went on to earn a Master's degree in education and special education from the Central Connecticut State University. Then, she earned a PhD at the University of Connecticut with a focus on educational administration. Career Starting in 1974, Cappello worked as a special education teacher at her former high school and eventually became the city's director of special education. This resulted in her becoming a consultant on such subjects with the Connecticut state education department and she eventually became interim bureau chief for the department in 2007. She retired in 2009 from state work to focus on her advocacy outreach. Advocacy Breast cancer diagnosis The beginning to Cappello's activism regarding mammography was in 2003 after her doctor physically identified a lump on her breast, despite nothing of the sort having been identified in a mammogram weeks earlier and still not being detected in a follow-up mammogram after noticing the lump. An ultrasound was able to properly identify the mass, however, as a tumor that had already spread to become a stage 3 lymph node cancer that could only be treated with chemotherapy and a mastectomy of the affected breast. The reason why the mammograms had been unsuccessful in identifying the tumor was due to her having dense breast tissue with low amounts of fat that prevented X-ray scans from penetrating into the tissue and separating darker fat pockets from the bright white tumor tissue. She was also informed that this type of breast tissue increases the risk of cancer forming, despite cancer being difficult to diagnose at the same time for such tissue. Having been unaware of the existence of dense breast tissue or the frequency of it occurring in women, Cappello was "outraged" at not having been informed earlier, as she would have been undergoing ultrasounds rather than mammograms for the prior 10 years if she had known she had the condition. She estimated that due to the growth and extent of the cancer once it was finally detected, it had been growing for several years and had not been identified by any of her scans during that time period. Her doctors also said that informing female patients about the possibility of dense breast tissue was not a part of the "standard protocol" and so she and her husband decided to start advocating for changes to the protocol. Creation of advocacy group The couple interacted with medical experts and state politicians over the following years, resulting in a law and protocol change in Connecticut in 2009 requiring doctors to inform patients about dense breast tissue and to require that medical insurance would cover the alternative ultrasounds such patients would need. Receiving messages from women across the US wanting such laws passed in their states, Cappello and her husband created the non-profit Are You Dense? in 2008 to advocate for such legal changes. She would go on to speak on the subject internationally at various medical conventions, including in countries such as Japan, France, Italy and Canada. As of 2019, 37 states had passed a version of the breast density inform law that she had advocated for. A federal notification bill was signed into law in February 2019. Cappello was described by Imaging Technology News as the "founder of the breast density education movement". Personal life Cappello was married to her husband, Joseph J. Cappello, in 1974. She was diagnosed with myelodysplastic syndrome in September 2018 that was identified as having formed during the treatment for her cancer in 2004. A bone marrow transplant was scheduled for December of that year to cure the syndrome, but a series of transfusions and antibiotics were required as treatment and multiple infections occurred in the following months. She died on November 15, 2018, due to a Clostridium difficile infection.

Jakriborg is a housing estate in Hjärup, Staffanstorp Municipality between Malmö and Lund in Scania, southern Sweden. The area was built in the late 1990s by the real estate firm Jakri AB and had been growing ever since. Jakri AB was founded by two brothers, Jan Berggren and Krister Berggren. Jan Berggren's project was realised through collaboration with the two architects Robin Manger Architect SAR/MSA and Marcus Axelsson Architect SAR/MSA. The Jakriborg project displays similarities with the contemporary New Urbanism movement. It is often compared to the Poundbury project in England built by Prince Charles. It is also a well-known example of traditional and New Classical Architecture. Architecture Jakriborg's architectural style has a variety of intricate maze-like streets and passageways. Jakriborg is not connected to traditional styles of other, more northern, parts of Scandinavia, nor with the functionalism that has been dominant in most of Europe for much of the 20th century. Instead, the style is inspired by pre-industrial town architecture found in the coastal region of the southern Baltic and the North Sea between Flanders and Tallinn, of which the old Hansa City of Lübeck is the best known example. History Hjärup is built on the fields of the village of Uppåkra, which existed for over a thousand years as the predecessor of Lund until the town was moved in 990 to a new and more secure location a few miles away, at which time Uppåkra reverted to a small town. Jakriborg is combined and joint with Hjärup by the railroad Malmö-Lund on the Copenhagen-Stockholm line. Population Initially Jakriborg started with less than 300 families and by 2005 had over 500 families. However a vast portion of the surrounding land was purchased in 2002 by Jakri AB which has additional space to further expand the town district by more than ten times its current size and capacity. Jakri AB have stated that they do not intend on rapidly growing Jakriborg as they believe growth should happen naturally through organic increase of the society. Therefore the number of yearly constructed apartment units remains deliberately moderate.
