Its web site says it was once active in New York City and Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, Denver, Boulder, Montreal, Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Beer Sheva, Kyiv, Russia, London and Toronto. It is a non-denominational, independent organization. JCorps was named the first "Social Volunteer Network" in the world. It volunteers in groups of 20, so that volunteers can, as is JCorps's motto, "Make Friends, and Make a Difference." JCorps has had volunteers from over 180 colleges and universities, over 500 companies, and over 20 countries. Mission JCorps' mission is to enable young Jewish adults to connect while making a difference through volunteering. It provides a low-pressure, high-activity environment where people can get to know each other while working on a shared task. Volunteers feed the hungry in soup kitchens, entertain the elderly in senior centers, play with children in hospitals, and clean and improve the landscapes of city parks, among other activities and mega events. History JCorps International, Inc. was founded in December, 2006 in New York City by comedian and business entrepreneur Ari Teman. It began with a website and Facebook group and quickly grew to thousands of members at its height. In May 2008, JCorps began operations in Montreal, and in July 2008 it opened in Jerusalem and Toronto. JCorps held its first event in Washington D.C. in September, 2009. On August 7, 2008, JCorps was invited to Gracie Mansion, the official residence of New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, for a barbecue to honor volunteers. Except for four months in 2010, JCorps has been entirely volunteer-run. On April 12, 2010, JCorps hired its first staff person, a COO, to support the volunteer Division Leaders and Team Leaders around the world. JCorps returned to being volunteer-run four months later.

Prince Azim of Brunei

Prince Haji 'Abdul 'Azim of Brunei (; 29 July 1982 – 24 October 2020) was the second-born prince of Hassanal Bolkiah, Sultan of Brunei. He was fourth in line to succeed the throne of Brunei until his death on October 24, 2020. Life Prince Azim was born in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei on 29 July 1982. He was the second-born child of the Sultan of Brunei, Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah, and Pengiran Isteri Hajah Mariam. He was educated at International School Brunei, Raffles Institution, and Oxford Brookes University. In 2008, Prince Azim was sent to attend the nine-month officer training course at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, but he dropped out after one week. In 2009, he designed unisex weekend bags for MCM. The proceeds went to the Make A Wish Foundation UK, a charity in which he is one of the patrons. In May 2011, at a charity show in Brunei Darussalam, held at the Empire Hotel and Country Club's Indera Samudra Hall at which 31 persons with autism performed, Prince Azim said that those with autism should be treated with respect, "as would to any of your family members". On 27 April 2013 at the opening of the 2nd ASEAN Autism Network (AAN) Congress, he urged that appropriate support be given to families with autistic family members. He was a producer with the London-based film company Daryl Prince Productions which produced You're Not You. The implementation of sharia law by his father was poorly received in Hollywood and led to a boycott of properties owned by Brunei. Azim is thought to have cancelled his attendance at a party for buyers of You're Not You because of the controversy. He was a prominent figure of the international jetset. Prince Azim was reported to have had a net worth of US$5 billion at the time of his death. In April 2019 Prince Azim was outed as gay by blogger Perez Hilton, in response to the Sultan of Brunei's introduction of Sharia law, which included the death penalty for gay people. Prince Azim responded by saying that he didn't mind being outed, but he was concerned that it "probably hurt a few people in the community". Prince Azim was an advocate for the arts and creative industries and championed and donated to several causes around youth and people with disabilities. Death Prince Azim died on 24 October 2020 at the Jerudong Park Medical Centre in Jerudong following a long battle against an undisclosed illness. He was 38 years old at the time of his death. The official announcement of his death was made later on the day he died. The government of Brunei also announced a seven-day period of mourning and ordered all national flags be lowered to half-mast. He was laid to rest beside his grandfather, Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien III, at the Royal Mausoleum in Bandar Seri Begawan after the Asar prayers. His funeral and burial ceremony was attended by the Brunei Royal Family, state dignitaries and cabinet ministers. Among the foreign guests who were present to give their last respects was Tunku Ismail Idris as representative of the Sultan of Johor. A day after his death, the Sultan of Johor ordered all state flags in the state of Johor be lowered to half-mast in respect of the late prince. Some celebrities on social media like Daniel Lismore and Janet Jackson offered their condolences. On 27 October 2020, his brother Prince Mateen released a post on Instagram that stated that the cause of death was multiple organ failure which was caused by severe systemic vasculitis which Prince Azim was diagnosed with early into 2020.

2003 Sirius Satellite Radio at The Glen

The 2003 Sirius Satellite Radio at The Glen was the 22nd stock car race of the 2003 NASCAR Winston Cup Series season and the 18th iteration of the event. The race was held on Sunday, August 10, 2003, before a crowd of 100,000 at the shortened layout of Watkins Glen International, a 2.454 miles (3.949 km) permanent road course. The race took the scheduled 90 laps to complete. At race's end, Robby Gordon of Richard Childress Racing would stretch out a fuel run in the last 39 laps of the race to win his third and final career NASCAR Winston Cup Series win and his second and final win of the season. To fill out the podium, Scott Pruett of Chip Ganassi Racing and Dale Earnhardt Jr. of Dale Earnhardt Jr. would finish second and third, respectively. Background Watkins Glen International (nicknamed "The Glen") is an automobile race track located in Watkins Glen, New York at the southern tip of Seneca Lake. It was long known around the world as the home of the Formula One United States Grand Prix, which it hosted for twenty consecutive years (1961–1980), but the site has been home to road racing of nearly every class, including the World Sportscar Championship, Trans-Am, Can-Am, NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, the International Motor Sports Association and the IndyCar Series. Initially, public roads in the village were used for the race course. In 1956 a permanent circuit for the race was built. In 1968 the race was extended to six hours, becoming the 6 Hours of Watkins Glen. The circuit's current layout has more or less been the same since 1971, although a chicane was installed at the uphill Esses in 1975 to slow cars through these corners, where there was a fatality during practice at the 1973 United States Grand Prix. The chicane was removed in 1985, but another chicane called the "Inner Loop" was installed in 1992 after J.D. McDuffie's fatal accident during the previous year's NASCAR Winston Cup event. The circuit is known as the Mecca of North American road racing and is a very popular venue among fans and drivers. The facility is currently owned by International Speedway Corporation.

2016 1000 Guineas

The 2016 1000 Guineas Stakes was a horse race held at Newmarket Racecourse on Sunday 1 May 2016. It was the 203rd running of the 1000 Guineas. The winner was Derrick Smith, Susan Magnier & Michael Tabor's Minding, an Irish-bred bay filly trained at Ballydoyle by Aidan O'Brien and ridden by Ryan Moore. Minding's victory was the third in the race for Moore after Homecoming Queen (2012, trained by O'Brien) and Legatissimo (2015). O'Brien had also won the race in 1996 with Virginia Waters. The contenders The race attracted a field of sixteen runners, ten trained in the United Kingdom, five in Ireland and one in France. The favourite for the race was the Irish-trained Minding who had won the Moyglare Stud Stakes and Fillies' Mile in 2015 and had been voted Cartier Champion Two-year-old Filly. She was accompanied by her stable companions Ballydoyle, who had beaten Minding in the Debutante Stakes and won the Prix Marcel Boussac, and Alice Springs, the runner-up in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf. The other two Irish runners were Turret Rocks (May Hill Stakes) and Jet Setting (Leopardstown 1,000 Guineas Trial). France was represented by the Criquette Head-trained Midweek, who had finished second in the Prix Imprudence. The best fancied of the British contingent were Lumiere (Cheveley Park Stakes) and Nathrah (Nell Gwyn Stakes), whilst the other runners included Fireglow (Star Stakes, Montrose Stakes), Blue Bayou (Sweet Solera Stakes and Epsom Icon (Washington Singer Stakes). Minding headed the betting at odds of 11/10 ahead of Lumiere (13/2), Ballydoyle (15/2) Nathrah (8/1) and Midweek (12/1). The race The starting stalls were positioned on the stand-side (the left-hand side from the jockeys' viewpoint) and the fillies raced in a single group on the stand-side throughout the race. Lumiere broke quickly and tracked to the rail to set the early pace, with Minding, Fireglow, Turret Rocks, Jet Setting and Sharja Queen close behind. As the fillies approached the cutaway two furlongs from the finish Lumiere began to struggle and dropped back quickly. Minding, racing towards the centre of the leading group, went to the front and opened up a clear advantage as Alice Springs moved into second and Ballydoyle, who had struggled to obtain a clear run, began to make rapid progress along the rail. Most of the other runners were under pressure with only Fireglow able to stay in contention with the O'Brien trio. Minding never looked in any anger of defeat in the final furlong and won by three and a half lengths from Ballydoyle with Alice Springs completing a 1-2-3 for the trainer by beating Fireglow for third. Nathra took fifth ahead of Turret Rocks and the 50/1 outsider Mix and Mingle. Lumiere finished last.

The Berry

The Berry was a political newspaper at Cambridge University, England. In its print form, like The Cambridge Student and Varsity it had a distribution of 10,000. In 2009-10 it was relaunched as an online newspaper, 'The Berry Online', providing Cambridge students with a forum for political debate, but suspended publication due to financial difficulties in the summer of 2012. Overview The paper was created to address the concerns of students of all political beliefs. Originally a joint project between CULC and CUCA, the paper was expanded to include contributors from all political persuasions. It aimed to remain unbiased while removing the anti-political slant of much modern media. In the past, the Cambridge Union was seen as being relatively right wing (see Cambridge Mafia) and the Cambridge University Students' Union seen as left wing. In this context, the Berry's pan-political project is one which self-consciously attempts to broaden political debate outside any one traditional constituency. History The paper was launched in October, 2005, by Laurie Fitzjohn-Sykes, then chairman of CUCA, to challenge the political apathy then prevalent among the university's students. After financial difficulty it was relaunched by Roland Foxcroft in 2006. While originally drawing writers from CULC and CUCA, the paper soon diversified to include contributors who were members of the other political parties and those who were members of none at all. Contributors included Jeroen van der Veer (CEO of Shell), Mark Lloyd Davis (Conservative Party Health Advisor and Parliamentary Candidate) and Tony Benn (former Labour MP). Charles Read (Christ's College) and Edward Winfield (Peterhouse) took over as editors in the 2010-11 academic year, seeking to increase readership and awareness of the newspaper. The last editor was Luke Fernandes (Christ's College). In the summer of 2012, The Berry suspended publication because of financial difficulties. Organisation The Berry was published entirely by a team of volunteers, students at Cambridge University. It was completely funded by advertisements and donations.

Guilderland (hamlet), New York

Guilderland is a hamlet of the town of the same name in Albany County, New York, United States. History The hamlet of Guilderland was begun as a glass factory in 1792, often referred to as the "Glass House". This factory was in the middle of the wilderness of the Pine Bush pine barrens, in an area then called Dowesburgh. In 1796, with hopes of establishing a manufacturing village, streets and lots were laid out and sold, and 54 houses built for the factory workers. This little village was named Hamilton for Secretary of Treasury Alexander Hamilton, an Albany native and a Founding Father of the United States. When the Great Western Turnpike was built through the hamlet in 1799 connecting Albany to the western frontier, Hamilton became the home to several taverns and other businesses catering to the pioneers. The glass works here folded in 1815, ending the hopes of this place becoming a major factory town. Hamilton would get its first post office in 1815 as well, the post office though would take the name Guilderland instead, and the community would come to be known locally as Sloan's, for the owner of the major hotel here. The Hamilton name continues to live on in the name of a Presbyterian church, the Hamilton Union Presbyterian Church that was founded in 1824. Geography As a hamlet, Guilderland has ill-defined boundaries, but is generally considered to be along US Route 20 (Western Avenue) between New York Route 155 (State Farm Road/New Karner Road) and New York Route 146 (south-leg to Altamont).

Marne–Rhine Canal

The Canal de la Marne au Rhin (Marne–Rhine Canal) is a canal in north-eastern France. It connects the river Marne and the Canal entre Champagne et Bourgogne in Vitry-le-François with the port of Strasbourg on the Rhine. The original objective of the canal was to connect Paris and the north of France with Alsace and Lorraine, the Rhine, and Germany. The long canal was the longest in France when it opened in 1853. Description The canal is suited for small barges (péniches), with a maximum size of in length and in width. It has 154 locks, including two in the Moselle. There are four tunnels. The Saint-Louis-Arzviller inclined plane is located between Arzviller and Saint-Louis and its construction replaced 17 locks. In 1979, a section along the Moselle valley was closed following completion of the Moselle canalisation works between Frouard and Neuves-Maisons. The route is now made up as follows: Canal de la Marne au Rhin, western section (PK 0-131), connecting with the Canal de la Meuse at Troussey (PK 111), and with a branch to Houdelaincourt (PK 85), the navigable river Moselle from Toul to Pompey and the Frouard branch from Pompey to Frouard (a distance of 25 km, slightly longer than by the original canal), the eastern section, from Frouard to Strasbourg (PK 154-313); this section connects with the Nancy branch at Laneuveville-devant-Nancy (PK 169), the Canal de la Sarre at Gondrexange (PK 228), and the river Ill in Strasbourg (PK 311). The western section, has 97 locks, 70 rising to the summit level and 27 down to the Moselle at Toul. The Moselle section has three locks of high-capacity Rhine dimensions on the river and one on the Frouard branch, and an additional Freycinet size lock connecting to the original canal in Frouard. The eastern section, , has 56 locks, 21 rising to the summit level crossing the Vosges watershed and 35 down to Strasbourg. Its course crosses the following départements and towns: Marne: Vitry-le-François Meuse: Bar-le-Duc, Ligny-en-Barrois, Void-Vacon Meurthe-et-Moselle: Toul, Nancy Moselle: Gondrexange, Sarrebourg Bas-Rhin: Saverne, Strasbourg En Route See also List of canals in France References External links Canal de la Marne au Rhin with maps and detailed information on places, ports and moorings on the canal, by the author of Inland Waterways of France, Imray Navigation details for 80 French rivers and canals (French waterways website section) Canals in France Canals opened in 1853 CMarne-RhineCanal

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syringomycin%20E

Syringomycin E

Syringomycin E is a member of a class of lipodepsinonapeptide molecules that are secreted by the plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae. Lipodepsinonapeptides comprise a closed ring of nine nonribosomally synthesized amino acids bonded to a fatty acid hydrocarbon tail. A commonly encountered pathovar (pv) of P. syringae is P. syringae pv syringae, which secretes a number of closely related forms of the molecule. Syringomycins are virulence determinants, which means that their secretion is required for the manifestation of disease symptoms on a number of stone fruit crop plants. Syringomycins have two widely recognized mechanisms of action. They can function as detergents which are powerful enough to dissolve plant membranes at high concentrations. It is not clear whether concentrations high enough to dissolve membranes are ever reached in planta. In addition to being surfactants, aggregates of syringomycins can insert into plant cell membranes and form small pores. These pores allow the leakage of ions from the plant cell cytoplasm. Affected plant cells are unable to maintain their required levels of electrolyte and ultimately cell death and lysis occurs. It is believed that P. syringae benefits from the release of nutrients that occurs as a consequence of cellular lysis. The biosynthesis of this class of molecules has been elucidated.

AQP7

Aquaporin-7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AQP7 gene. Aquaporins/major intrinsic protein (MIP) are a family of water-selective membrane channels. Aquaporin 7 has greater sequence similarity with AQP3 and AQP9 and they may be a subfamily. Aquaporin 7 and AQP3 are at the same chromosomal location suggesting that 9p13 may be a site of an aquaporin cluster. Aquaporin 7 facilitates water, glycerol and urea transport. It may play an important role in thermoregulation in the form of perspiration and sperm function. See also Aquaporin References Further reading External links

This official is in charge of the state's agriculture department. The agriculture commissioners are organized at the national level by the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture. The agriculture commissioner is elected in 12 states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, and Texas. The powers and duties of the office vary from state to state, but are often substantial: in about 40 states, agriculture departments regulate the animal industry, and in roughly half the states, agriculture departments regulate food safety and meat inspection. In some states, the agriculture commissioner has more power. For example, in Florida the agriculture commissioner is one of three members of the Florida Cabinet (along with the governor and attorney general), giving the commissioner some influence over state policy beyond agriculture. In North Dakota, the agriculture commissioner sits on a number of important boards, such as the North Dakota Industrial Commission (which oversees the state-owned North Dakota Mill and Elevator and Bank of North Dakota).

Ramsline Halt railway station

Ramsline Halt, previously Baseball Ground Halt, was a single-platform railway station that opened by British Rail in 1990 to serve the Baseball Ground, the former home of Derby County football club in England. It is situated in Pear Tree, Derby. The station cost £26,000 to build, funded by the Football Trust, but only four trains ever stopped there. In 1997 Derby County moved to the new Pride Park Stadium and Ramsline Halt closed. In spite of this, it remains in reasonable condition. There is no current access to it, but it can be seen from Osmaston Road. The station name board is now at the National Football Museum. The only trains using Ramsline Halt were football specials for away fans to prevent crowd trouble in Derby City Centre and at the main Derby railway station, for example a visiting team from Birmingham City F.C. would leave Bordesley railway station and run non-stop to Ramsline Halt. The station was on a freight-only loop to the west of the main Derby-Birmingham line, between and . References Derby County F.C.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skalk

Skalk

The skalk refers to the Scottish Hebridean tradition of drinking a dram of whisky as an aperitif before breakfast. The word is an anglicization of the Scots Gaelic word scailg meaning literally "a sharp blow to the head." The tradition was notably observed by the English writer Samuel Johnson during his tour of the Western Isles of Scotland. In his A Journey to the Western Islands of Scotland, Johnson remarks that "A man of the Hebrides, for of the woman's diet I can give no account, as soon as he appears in the morning, swallows a glass of whisky; yet they are not a drunken race, at least I never was present at much intemperance; but no man is so abstemious as to refuse the morning dram, which they call a skalk." In modern usage, the term skalk is used in Scotch whisky drinking culture to refer to a casual glass of whisky in the morning. References External links Scottish culture

Air South (Georgia)

Air South was an airline from the United States. Founded as Nationwide Airlines Southeast in 1969, the company had its headquarters in St. Simons, Georgia. Out of its base at Atlanta Municipal Airport, Air South operated regional scheduled passenger flights within the southeastern USA, using a small fleet of Fairchild F-27 and Martin 4-0-4 aircraft, as well as the Beechcraft Model 99. In 1975, Air South was acquired by Florida Airlines and became a wholly owned subsidiary, along with Shawnee Airlines. Over the following years, Air South continued flight operations under its own branding. As a consequence of the Airline Deregulation Act, it was eventually shut down in 1978. Route network In the early 1970s, Air South offered a network of domestic flights to the following destinations: Accidents and incidents On 6 July 1969, the twelve passengers and two pilots of Air South Flight 168 died when the aircraft, a Beechcraft Model 99 (registered N844NS), crashed 10 kilometers northwest of Monroe, Georgia at 21:22 local time. Investigation into the accident revealed that the airplane had been at cruise level during a flight from Atlanta to Greenville/Spartanburg in South Carolina, when it went into an unwanted high speed nose-down dive. Because of the extreme pulling forces when they tried to regain control, both pilots were likely incapacitated so that the plane couldn't be maneuvered anymore. On 31 March 1974, another Air South Beech 99 (registered N848NS) was destroyed when a fire broke out during taxiing at Malcolm McKinnon Airport. The two pilots and both passengers who planned to fly to Atlanta escaped before the airplane was engulfed by the flames.

1930 Albanian National Championship

The 1930 Albanian Championship was the first edition of the Albanian National Championship, which ran from 6 April until 6 July 1930. It was the first-ever official football competition in Albania run by the newly formed Albanian Football Association, as the 1911 Fier Fair Football Tournament was not run by the AFA and is not yet recognised. The six original members were Urani, Teuta, Skënderbeu, Bashkimi Shkodran, Sportklub Tirana and Sportklub Vlora who agreed to play a ten-game format whereby each team would host each of their five rivals once with two points awarded for a win and one point awarded for a drawn game. The two teams with the most points at the end of the regular season of the competition would then enter a championship playoff where they would play each other twice and the champions would be crowned based on the aggregate score of the home and away ties, however this playoff was not actually played due to forfeit. Sportklub Tirana were declared the inaugural champions of Albania following two technical victories over Skënderbeu in the championship playoffs, taking their seasonal total to seven wins, four draws and one loss. Teams Teams by locations Overview The competition was the first official national football competition to be held in Albania and it featured six sides from across Albania, which were Urani, Teuta, Skënderbeu, Bashkimi Shkodran, Sportklub Tirana and Sportklub Vlora. Each team played each other twice during two phases, and the top two ranked teams entered the championship playoff which would have been a two-game playoff decided on the aggregate score for the championship title. Each win during the regular season was worth two points, with a draw worth one point and a loss worth none. The first phase was held between 6 April and 4 May, and the second phase was held between 11 May and 22 June. The playoff finals were planned on 22 June and 6 July, but they did not take place due to Skënderbeu's forfeit of both games. The playoff finals were not played following Skënderbeu's forfeit, which was a sign of protest against the bias of the competition and the Albanian Football Association towards the Sportklub Tirana. Both games were awarded 2-0 to Sportklub Tirana thus crowning them the first champions of Albania. League standings Note: 'Bashkimi Shkodran' is Vllaznia, 'Urani' is KS Elbasani and 'Sportklub Vlora' is Flamurtari Championship Playoff Skënderbeu - KF Tirana 0:2 (technical victory) KF Tirana - Skënderbeu 2:0 (technical victory) Scheduled for June 29 and July 6 but Skënderbeu forfeited both matches, and KF Tirana was awarded by technical victories, so they became first Albanian champions.

Santiago Mayas

Santiago Mayas was a native King of Talamanca, Costa Rica, born around 1834. He belonged to the ethnic group of the Bribris, of which he was crowned in 1862, although subject to the authority of King Chirimo, which he succeeded around 1870. In his youth he befriended many foreign visitors, and as king appointed as his secretary the American marine John H. Lyon, who married one of his relatives. Santiago Mayas was the first indigenous king of Costa Rica to visit the cities of Cartago and San José, in 1871. He was described as an intelligent man, with a firm will and good judgment, but he got drunk often and then acted violently and despotic. He was married to three women. The authority of King Santiago was challenged in 1871 by his cousin Lapis, who was the second indigenous chief of the region. Lapis tried to assassinate the monarch, but he had news of the conspiracy and ordered to arrest him, who managed to escape to the mountains, where he died of hunger. However, in January 1872, several friends and relatives of Lapis, including a noble named Birche, ambushed King Santiago Mayas, who was shot dead; They set fire to their palenque, and seized his women and all his property. His relative Birche succeeded him as king.

Sweet Water Organics

Sweet Water Organics, Inc. was an urban farm located in the Bay View neighborhood of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Founded in 2008 by Milwaukee entrepreneurs Josh Fraundorf and James Godsil, Sweet Water's stated mission was to provide fresh, safe food for the community by employing methods of aquaponics and hydroponics that produce a variety of consumables while minimizing its impact on the local environment. History Sweet Water Organics incorporated in 2008 and broke ground on its facility in 2009. Former business partners Josh Fraundort and James Godsil founded the organization in the hopes of creating an urban, sustainable fish and vegetable farm. The first fish were added to the aquaponics system in July 2009, including 2,400 yellow perch and 33,000 tilapia. By mid-2010 Sweet Water was selling about 150 pounds of produce a week and had sold 3,000 perch. This model of production ran into problems however, and an award-winning 2012 investigative story in the Bay View Compass by Michael Timm exposed serious financial and management problems. Sweet Water ceased production the following year and was unable to pay back its loans to the city. Urban Farm Sweet Water's reclamation and revitalization projects were inspired by former basketball player and MacArthur Foundation Genius Grant-winner Will Allen. The farm was situated in a formerly abandoned 6.5 acre building complex and utilized four 11,000 gallon raceways dug directly into the concrete floor to house the fish.

Kyle Nix

Kyle Ashley Nix (born 21 January 1986) is an Australian-born English former footballer and coach who played as a midfielder. Nix was born in Sydney, Australia to English parents and moved to England at an early age. Nix started his football career with the youth teams at Manchester United and Aston Villa, before he joined Sheffield United. He had a loan spell with Barnsley, but left Sheffield to join non-league Buxton. He played seven games for Buxton during the 2006–07 season, before he joined Parkgate where he spent the remainder of the season. He joined Bradford City for whom he made his debut in league football in August 2007. After two seasons with City, he was released from his contract and returned to non-league with Mansfield Town. He played two years with Mansfield during which time he reached the FA Trophy final before moving to another Conference side Gateshead. Internationally, Nix has represented England at youth level, playing for the U16, U18 and U20 teams, and semi-professional levels. Early life Nix was born in Sydney, Australia, while his father, Peter, was playing football there. Peter had been a left winger, whose own professional career included 22 league games for Rotherham United. When the family returned to Rotherham, South Yorkshire, Nix started his own football career. Nix's brother Korey is also a footballer. Club career Early career Nix started his football career in England as a youth player for Premier League side Manchester United, before joining Aston Villa's youth side for a year. He was part of Villa's youth team which lost in the final of the 2004 FA Youth Cup to Middlesbrough. In July 2005, he was signed by Sheffield United of the Championship on a one-year deal. His debut came in a League Cup tie against League Two side Shrewsbury Town, which United won on penalties, when he came on as a 90th minute substitute. His only other appearance for Sheffield United was again as a substitute in the League Cup against Reading. Towards the end of the 2005–06 season he was sent on loan to League One side Barnsley where he stayed for three months. Barnsley won promotion to the Championship although Nix did not play in any games. He returned to Sheffield United but he was among seven players to be released by manager Neil Warnock. Nix had an unsuccessful trial at Peterborough United, and one at Grimsby Town which was curtailed by an ankle ligament injury, and played a reserve team outing for Rotherham United. But after failing to win a place at any of the three league teams, he turned to non-league football. He first appeared for Northern Premier League side Buxton, making his debut against Bridlington Town on 11 November 2006. He played seven times for Buxton, scoring one goal, which came in a 9–0 Derbyshire Senior Cup victory over Blackwell Miners Welfare. For the rest of the 2006–07 season he turned out for Northern Counties East League side Parkgate. He also scored once for Parkgate—in a 4–3 Sheffield and Hallamshire Senior Cup semi-final defeat to Stocksbridge Park Steels. Bradford City In summer 2007, he was offered a short-term deal with League Two side Bradford City following a successful trial, teaming back up with Stuart McCall, who Nix knew from his days at Sheffield United. He made his Bradford debut against Wolverhampton Wanderers in a League Cup game scoring his first senior goal. His league debut came three days later in the first league game to be played at Shrewsbury Town's new ground the New Meadow. He was offered a longer-term deal at City, before becoming a regular first team player. His first league goal was a long-range equaliser as Bradford drew 1–1 with Chesterfield on 8 December 2007 before he added a second in successive games in a 2–1 defeat to Peterborough United. His goals helped to win him a contract extension in January until the end of the 2007–08 season. Later that month he improved his run of goals by scoring in three successive matches to help Bradford to five points from three games within the space of eight days. Nix stayed in the team for the remainder of the season, but it was not until April that he scored again, with a long-range volley against Brentford, as he bid for a new contract for the 2008–09 season. On 29 April 2008, Nix was offered a new deal, which he signed the following week to remain at Bradford for another season. Nix started Bradford's first two games of the 2008–09 season in place of Joe Colbeck, who was suspended following a red card against Milton Keynes Dons at the end of the previous campaign. However, when Colbeck was available again, Nix was dropped to the substitutes' bench, with new signing Paul McLaren partnering Lee Bullock, who had returned from injury, in central midfield. Nix struggled for form but was also playing with an ankle injury, which eventually forced him to take a hospital scan in November. He was one of six club midfielders to be injured at the time. He returned to action later that month as a second-half substitute against his father's former team Rotherham United, at the Don Valley Stadium. However, he struggled to hold down a regularly place in the side because of new midfielders signed during the course of the season, and he was released at the end of the campaign having played less than half the games that he played in his first year at City. Nix was offered the chance to return to Bradford by McCall if he could not find a new club but he rejected the invitation. Mansfield Town Nix spent two weeks of summer on holiday in Mexico with three former Bradford colleagues, Joe Colbeck, Dean Furman and Nicky Law. Although Nix had reported interest from League Two clubs, upon his return from holiday he dropped down a division to go on trial with Conference National club Mansfield Town. After just three days of his trial he signed a two-year deal to become their 11th new player of the summer. Nix made his debut for Mansfield in their opening day 4–0 victory against Crawley Town, and scored his first goal for his new club at the end of September during a 3–1 defeat to Barrow. Nix enjoyed a run of games in the first team and was described by manager David Holdsworth as one of the club's "best players" until he suffered an ankle injury, which required surgery at a hospital in Northallerton and kept him out of first-team action until the new year. He returned to playing action for Mansfield reserves in late January and was back in the first team squad by the end of the month. He made his comeback to the first team in a 3–1 defeat to Stevenage Borough at the start of February. By the end of his first season with Mansfield, he had played 23 league games and scored twice. During the follow pre-season, Holdsworth allowed Nix to attend a trial with Dutch Eerste Divisie side Sparta Rotterdam. Nix described it as a "chance of a lifetime" to pursue his dream of playing for the Australian national side with Sparta having an Australian coach. However, his trial was unsuccessful and he returned to Mansfield and he immediately scored in a friendly ahead of the new Conference season. Nix was not included in Mansfield's squad for the first three games of the season, and during the third match with the side losing, the club's fans were singing Nix's name. After eventually winning 3–1, Holdsworth said: "I know Kyle is a very good player and I respect the fans have individuals they like. But we have a healthy squad here and I picked what I felt was a winning side today which proved to be right." His first game of the season was as a late substitute for Adam Smith moments after Mansfield conceded an equaliser in a 1–1 draw with Kettering Town. His first start of the season came as Holdsworth made changes to personnel and formation for a game at Southport on 11 September. A 2–1 victory was Mansfield's third consecutive win. Before the end of the month, he had scored his first goal of the month, during a 5–0 victory against York City which put Mansfield second in the table. At the end of his second season, Nix was one of five players to be released by Mansfield. Gateshead During the summer, he had trials with fellow Conference side Gateshead, scoring a penalty in a friendly against Carlisle United on 16 July 2011, before the game was abandoned after an hour due to torrential rain. Two weeks later, Nix signed an initial six-month contract with Gateshead. He made his debut as a second-half substitute on 13 August 2011 in Gateshead's 3–2 win over Kidderminster Harriers at Aggborough. He made his first start for Gateshead on 22 October 2011 in a 3–1 win against Telford United at New Bucks Head. Having started only two games in five months with Gateshead, Nix was released when his contract expired on 24 January. Tamworth On 14 February 2012, Nix joined Tamworth on a free transfer. He made his debut on 3 March coming on as a second-half substitute for Chez Isaac in a 3–0 league defeat to Fleetwood Town. Chiangrai United Following a brief spell at UR La Louviere Centre in Belgium where he did not play a competitive match Nix moved to Chiangrai United F.C. in the Thai Premier League in 2013. Nix made 26 appearances, scoring five goals and claiming three assists. Nix scored in matches against Muangthong, Chonburi F.C., Bangkok Glass and BEC Tero. Nix was forced to retire in 2016 following a diagnosis of heart tumours and blood clots which required open heart surgery. Coaching career Nix now runs a football coaching business alongside his two brothers in Queensland, Australia. International career Nix has appeared for various England youth international teams including under 16s, under 18s and under 20s. He scored twice for the under 17s, in a 4–0 victory over Faroe Islands and another in a 2–1 victory over Norway, during the Nordic International Tournament in 2002. After moving to Mansfield Town in 2009, he was eligible to play for the England C team, which is the team which represents England at non-league level. He was one of three Mansfield players, along with Louis Briscoe and Scott Garner, to play in a 1–1 with Hungary on 15 September 2009. He was called back up for the England C team by manager Paul Fairclough a year later. Nix also holds an Australian passport, which he picked up in summer 2008, when he returned to the country for the first time since he left as a youngster in order to coach at Mitchelton Football Club. It enables him to play for the Australian side, a dream which Nix wanted to pursue during his professional career. Personal life Nix holds an Australian passport. On 2 June 2014, Nix was reported missing by his family after leaving his home in Rotherham in the early hours of the morning. He was found safe and well by police later the same day.

Candlebox (album)

Candlebox is the debut album by Seattle rock band Candlebox. It contains their best known hit, "Far Behind", as well as the hit singles "Change", "You" and "Cover Me". Released in 1993, the album has since been certified 4× platinum in the United States. Promotion The music videos for "Change", "Far Behind" and "You" remained in longstanding rotation on MTV and the latter became two of the most requested videos of 1993, and the former being featured on Beavis and Butt-Head. Other songs were recorded during the Candlebox sessions and included on other releases. "Can't Give In," for instance, appears on the Airheads film soundtrack. "Pull Away" also served as a B-side to the "You" CD single. Reception The album has received mixed reviews. In a review for The Village Voice, although he gave the album a C rating, Robert Christgau panned Candlebox's self-titled album and called the band "postgrunge scenesuckers [who] aren't total pop-metal conformists--they're a tad more intense, with sharper drumming." Stephen Thomas Erlewine was more positive, writing for AllMusic: "Candlebox rode the alternative bandwagon to the top of the charts with their self-titled debut album." He also calls the singles "Change", "You" and "Far Behind" "the closest they come to memorable melodies." Although released in July 1993, Candlebox did not enter the top 10 Billboard 200 until August 1994, upon the success of its third and biggest single "Far Behind", which would reach number 18 on the Hot 100 chart roughly a month later. The album peaked at number seven, Candlebox's highest position so far, and remained on the chart for 104 weeks. Track listing All tracks by Candlebox.

Amula, New Spain

Amula was a colonial province of New Spain from the mid-16th century until 1821. It corresponded with the modern municipalities of Zapotitlán de Vadillo, Tuxcacuesco, Cuautitlán de García Barragán and Tolimán. Prior to the Spanish incursion the area was split between the states of Amole, Cozolapa, Tuxcacuexco and possibly Tzapotitlan. Amole also had two dependent states, Copalla and Teotitlan. The indigenous inhabitants primarily spoke languages of the western Otomi group which was distinct from the language of the Otomi people of modern Hidalgo although it may have been related. The main languages were Amultecan, Bapame, Pino and Zapoteco (not to be confused with the Zapotec languages of Oaxaca). Amole and its neighboring states defeated Purépecha attempts to invade the area early in the 16th century. The Spanish took over the area in 1523. By the early 1530s it was formed into the province of Amyla y Tuscacuesco although the name was shortened to just Amula. Religious change in the area was slower with the Franciscans first arriving in the 1540s but no permanent church organization formed until 1579. Sources Gerhard, Peter.

Arthur Law (playwright)

William Arthur Law (22 March 1844 – 2 April 1913), better known as Arthur Law, was an English playwright, actor and scenic designer. Life and career Law was born in Northrepps, Norfolk, England, to Rev. Patrick Comerford Law and his wife, Frances nee Arbuthnot. He was educated at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst. From 1864 to 1872, he served in the Royal Scots Fusiliers. Early career Law began to act, making his professional stage debut in 1872 at the Theatre Royal, Edinburgh. He then toured the British provinces and played at London's Surrey Theatre for two years, after which joined the German Reed Entertainments in London in 1874. While performing with the German Reeds, he wrote nineteen short comic theatre works performed by the company. In 1877, Law married actress Fanny Holland, with whom he appeared with the German Reeds at the Gallery of Illustration and St. George's Hall. The couple had a son named Hamilton Patrick John Holland Law (born 1879). Some of Law's plays for the German Reeds include A Night Surprise in 1877 (under the pseudonym, "West Cromer"), A Happy Bungalow (1877), with music by Charles King Hall; Cherry Tree Farm (1881) and Nobody’s Fault (1882), both with music by Hamilton Clarke. In 1881, he wrote Uncle Samuel, a curtain raiser for the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company played at the Opera Comique, with music by George Grossmith. It played, together with Patience, in 1881, and Law appeared in the role of John Bird. Law later appeared on stage at the Savoy Theatre as Mr. Wranglebury in the companion piece Mock Turtles in 1882, and as Major Murgatroyd in Patience in 1882, filling in for Frank Thornton. During a two-year period, from 1879 to 1881, Law and Holland performed on tour as "Mr. & Mrs. Arthur Law's Entertainment," but the venture proved unsuccessful. He retired from acting following a final engagement at Savoy Theatre, in 1881, to turn his attention completely to writing. Later years His first "serious" drama, Hope, was produced at London's Standard Theatre in 1882. That year he also wrote a musical farce, Mr. Guffin's Elopement, in collaboration with George Grossmith, for Toole's Theatre, starring J. L. Toole. In 1885, Grossmith and Law wrote The Great Tay-Kin, produced at Toole's. Law wrote dozens of other plays. His best known include an adaptation of The Mystery of a Hansom Cab, produced at the Princess's Theatre in 1888; The Judge, produced at Terry's Theatre in 1890; The Magic Opal (an operetta with music by Isaac Albéniz) played at the Lyric Theatre and the Prince of Wales's Theatre in 1893; The New Boy at Terry's and the Vaudeville Theatre in 1894; The Sea Flower at the Comedy Theatre in 1898, A Country Mouse at the Prince of Wales's in 1902; The Bride and Bridegroom at the New Theatre in 1904; and Artful Miss Dearing at Terry's in 1909. A few of Law's plays were also produced on Broadway, including The New Boy in 1894 at the Standard Theatre and A Country Mouse in 1902 at New York's Savoy Theatre. He also created the scenic design for The Bachelor, by Clyde Fitch, in 1909 at the Maxine Elliott Theatre. Law died in Parkstone, a suburb of Poole, Dorset, England at the age of 69. His brother was the cricketer Alexander Law. Notes References Gänzl, Kurt. The British Musical Theatre (1986) Macmillan, vol.I, London.

Toyota TF108

The Toyota TF108 was a Formula One car with which Toyota competed in the 2008 Formula One season. The chassis was designed by Pascal Vasselon, John Litjens and Mark Gillan with the engine being designed by Luca Marmorini and Noritoshi Arai overseeing the entire project. The cars best finish was second in the Hungarian Grand Prix, driven by Timo Glock. Launch The 2008 Toyota challenger, the Toyota TF108, was launched on 10 January 2008, at the team's factory in Cologne, Germany. Jarno Trulli was retained as one of the team's drivers for the 2008 season and was joined by former Jordan driver Timo Glock. The Toyota test and reserve driver for the 2008 season was Japanese driver Kamui Kobayashi. The Toyota team let driver Ralf Schumacher go at the end of the 2007 Formula One season, Schumacher then signed a contract with Mercedes-Benz in the DTM for the 2008 season. Technical developments New concept design The TF108 had a new longer wheelbase to aid stability and a totally new aero package that was hoped to give the car great potential. It was not an evolution of the previous year's TF107; instead it had been designed from an evolution of the TF106, used for the 2006 season. Pascal Vasselon, the team's chassis general manager noted that the "primary aerodynamic design philosophy for the TF108 is geared towards optimising the entire package". Rule changes The car also had the new for 2008 higher headrests around the drivers head and also had the new standard McLaren Electronic Systems ECU that prevented the car having driver aids. Changes in aerodynamics Toyota had adopted a McLaren MP4-22-like bridge on the front wing, and also moved the rear view mirrors outboard, like Ferrari and Renault. The TF108 had also had a major focus on cleaning the air flow around the front suspension, maximising the zero keel concept of the front suspension. Alternative liveries At the 2008 French Grand Prix the car ran with a black stripe along the nosecone, to commemorate the life of former Toyota F1 boss, Ove Andersson, who had died earlier that month. At the 2008 British Grand Prix, the car ran with a special Batman livery. The team signed a deal with Warner Brothers to promote the new film, The Dark Knight, which was released on 25 July. 2008 season 2008 testing Timo Glock was fastest in testing at Jerez on 17 January, whilst test driver Kamui Kobayashi was 7th fastest on the same day. Toyota and Ferrari had been the only teams in 2008 to test outside the common test tracks in Spain (Valencia, Jerez and the Circuit de Catalunya), having chosen to test in sunnier conditions in Bahrain from the 4th to 6 February and 9th until 11 February 2008. Later in the month of February, Toyota, alongside Ferrari, returned to the Circuit de Catalunya to finish off their preparations for the season opener in Melbourne. Toyota rolled out a new aero package, with Pascal Vasselon saying that "The new aerodynamics package we brought here is a clear step forward". The very next day, Jarno Trulli completed the day with a time of 1.20.801, fastest overall, Red Bull-Renault driver David Coulthard was second with a time of 01:21.258 on the same day. Racing The TF108 marked an improvement of form for Toyota. Trulli scored points in 10 of the 18 races, with a 3rd place in France the highlight of his season. Teammate Glock finished in the points at 6 races including 2nd in Hungary. With a total of 56 points, Toyota scored more points in 2008 then the last 2 seasons combined. Both Trulli and Glock were retained for 2009.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proboscis%20extension%20reflex

Proboscis extension reflex

Proboscis extension reflex (PER) is the extension by an insect with an extendable proboscis (e.g. a bee or fly) of her proboscis (sticking out of her tongue) as a reflex to antennal stimulation. It is evoked when a sugar solution is touched to a bee's antenna. Use of PER The proboscis extension reflex is part of an insect's feeding behavior. When the antenna is stimulated by sugar water, the proboscis automatically sticks out to drink. This reflex response can be used to study insect learning and memory in the context of foraging. The PER paradigm is most commonly used in associative learning experiments in honeybees and bumblebees because it is easy to use for simple Pavlovian conditioning. How the PER learning paradigm works There are two steps in a PER experiment. The first step trains the individual to associate a conditioned stimulus (CS), such as an odor with an unconditioned stimulus (US) such as a sugar. For example, the bee is presented with an odor (CS) and an application of the sugar (US) solution to its antennae, upon which she reflexively extends her proboscis. In some variations, the bee is immediately fed with sugar at this point; this constitutes an operant reinforcement which would tend to establish the odor as a discriminative stimulus. After some number of pairings of the CS and US, the second step in the PER paradigm tests whether or not the association has been learned. The odor (CS) is presented to the bee in the absence of the sugar solution (US), and the association is confirmed if the bee extends her proboscis to this CS alone. PER in honeybees The PER paradigm has been successfully used to investigate olfactory learning in honeybees. It was first introduced by Kimihisa Takeda in 1961. Experiments by Bitterman used first-order classical conditioning to associate an odor with a sugar reward. Individual bees were placed in a tube with their head sticking out. Then a stream of odorant blown towards the bee's head was immediately followed by touching the antenna with a sugar droplet. After only three such trials, the odor alone caused the bee to extend its proboscis approximately 90% of the time. Bees also showed second-order conditioning, learning to associate a second odor with the original odor. The PER paradigm has also been used in honeybees to study motion learning, thermal learning, color learning, habituation, and reversal learning. Abramson et al 2004 use this technique to investigate their sensation of and response to tebufenozide and diflubenzuron. PER in bumblebees Although the majority of PER studies are performed on honeybees, there is at least one successful study of using PER on bumblebees. After they were exposed to a conditioning procedure like that used with honeybees (see above) they gave a conditioned PER response to odor alone PER response 85% of the time after 10 trials. PER and learning laterality Recently, interesting findings in PER studies show laterality in olfactory learning in the two antennae i.e., one antenna is better at associative learning than the other antenna. In honeybees, individuals had either their right or their left antenna covered with a silicone sleeve, leaving the other antenna exposed. The bees that had their right antenna exposed were better at associating an odor with a food reward than bees that had their left antenna exposed. The same study also found that the right antenna has more olfactory receptors than the left antenna, a possible cause for this lateralized PER learning. However, other causes such as internal differences in the actual olfactory pathway or the central nervous system must not be ruled out just yet.

Aerocar Mini-IMP

The Aerocar Mini-IMP (Independently Made Plane) is a light aircraft designed by Moulton Taylor and marketed for homebuilding by Aerocar International. It is a scaled-down derivative of his original Aerocar IMP design. A two-seat version called the Bullet was also built. The Mini-IMP follows the same unconventional layout as its larger predecessor, with a center mounted engine, long driveshaft to a tail propeller, and inverted-V rudder/elevators. The aircraft is available in the form of plans for amateur construction. Following Taylor's death, the plans and licensing for the Mini-IMP have been marketed by the Mini-IMP Aircraft Company of Weatherford, Texas. Design and development The aircraft features a cantilever high-wing, a single-seat enclosed cockpit, fixed or retractable tricycle landing gear or conventional landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration. The aircraft is made from riveted aluminum sheet. Its span wing is mounted well behind the pilot and employs a NASA GA(PC)-1 airfoil. The engine is mounted behind the pilot's seat driving the propeller through an extension shaft. Engines used include the Volkswagen air-cooled engine four-stroke. Taylor claimed the Mini-IMP was not an original design, but an updated version of the 1912 Edison Doladay Bullet, a design that was capable of 110 mph in the earliest days of flight. In the late 1970s inquiries were made concerning a military version of the Mini-IMP, skinned with Kevlar, armed with two 7.62-millimeter machine guns, and with room in the baggage compartment for a considerable quantity of ammunition. Nothing came of the proposal.

Emergency Skin

Emergency Skin is a science-fiction novelette written by N. K. Jemisin. The story was first published by Amazon Original Stories as part of the Forward short fiction collection in September 2019. The story was well received, and it was awarded a Hugo Award, an Audie Award (for the audiobook), and an Ignyte Award in 2020. Plot The unnamed protagonist lives on an exoplanet colony that was founded when the collapse of life on Earth (called Tellus in the story) was deemed inevitable. He, like all other lower-class people in the colony, has a synthetic body rather than skin, which is reserved for the colony's "Founders" and other elite. Aided by a collective AI implanted in his brain, he is sent on a mission to Tellus to retrieve cell cultures that the Founders need to continue synthesizing skin. However, when he arrives there, he discovers that it is not the lifeless husk he was led to believe, and that he is far from the first of his kind to come there on a cell culture mission. Instead of returning to his ship with the cells, he activates his "emergency skin," a layer of nanites that form synthetic skin, and stays on Earth to learn more. An old man brings him to a museum and shows him what happened after the Founders left the planet to form their colony: everyone left on Earth abandoned country borders and individual property, pooling all their resources and working together to prevent the planet's destruction. The protagonist realizes that the Founders deliberately kept this information from everyone else on the colony so that they could continue to hoard resources as the elite, and that they kill everyone who returns from missions to Earth so that they can't tell anyone the truth. The story ends with him disabling the collective AI in his brain and resolving to return to his colony to start a revolution against the Founders. Reception Kirkus Reviews called it a subversive story that "shatters all expectations". AudioFile reviewer Emily Connelly found that the brief story cleverly conveyed both alarm and curiosity as to how the thriving society story could sustain itself. She also praised the audio performance of Jason Isaacs for immersing listeners in the story as if they were on the mission as well, giving it an Earphone Award for the month. The story was later collected in The Year’s Best Science Fiction, Vol 1: The Saga Anthology of Science Fiction 2020 as well, where Publishers Weekly highlighted it as a standout of the "year's best" anthology. Accolades In 2020, Emergency Skin received the following awards and nominations: References 2019 short stories Hugo Award for Best Novelette winning works Science fiction short stories Works by N. K.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interacting%20binary%20star

Interacting binary star

An Interacting binary star is a type of binary star in which one or both of the component stars has filled or exceeded its Roche lobe. When this happens, material from one star (the donor star) will flow towards the other star (the accretor). If the accretor is a compact star, an accretion disk may form. The physical conditions in such a system can be complex and highly variable, and they are common sources of cataclysmic outbursts. A common type of interacting binary star is one in which one of the components is a compact object which is well within its Roche lobe, while the other is an evolved giant star. If the compact object is a white dwarf, then accretion of material from the evolved star onto the white dwarf's surface may result in its mass increasing to beyond the Chandrasekhar limit. This can lead to runaway thermonuclear reactions and the massive explosion of the star in a Type I supernova. An example of such a binary star is R Canis Majoris, in which it is thought that the secondary star has exceeded its Roche lobe and transferred mass to the primary star. This has resulted in the early evolution of the secondary star onto the subgiant star branch, and in exposure of helium-rich material on the surface of the primary, causing it to burn brighter and have a higher effective temperature than would usually be expected for a star of its mass.

People Just Do Nothing: Big in Japan

People Just Do Nothing: Big in Japan is a 2021 British comedy film directed by Jack Clough, serving as a continuation of the mockumentary television series People Just Do Nothing. The film stars Allan Mustafa, Hugo Chegwin, Asim Chaudhry, Steve Stamp, Dan Sylvester, Lily Brazier, Hitomi Souno, Ken Yamamura, and Nero Huang. People Just Do Nothing: Big in Japan was released in the United Kingdom on 18 August 2021. Plot Three years after the final transmission of Kurupt FM and the crew moving to Essex (series 5 of People Just Do Nothing), Anthony "MC Grindah" Zografos works as a postman, Kevin "DJ Beats" Bates works in a bowling alley, and Steven "Steves" Green is still based in the Brentford flats. However, their dead-end lives are changed when Chabud "Chabuddy G" Gul announces the news that their song, 'Heart Monitor Riddem', has found phenomenal success in Japan on a popular game show. Furthermore, the company responsible for the show wishes to invite them to Japan for a record deal. With this in mind, the crew reconcile and travel to Japan. Miche, Grindah's wife, later joins the crew after obtaining a ticket. In Japan, the Kurupt FM crew are assigned a manager, Taka, and a translator Miki. The introduction of Taka proves antagonistic for Chabuddy, who notices Taka trying to replace him as their manager and further proved when he is ejected from a club. With Steves eccentric behaviour and Miki acting as a weed dealer for him, the two become very close. While in Tokyo, the company plans Kurupt FM's debut to the Japanese audience, with a concert featuring them planned within a week of them arriving and a record deal. However, the exact terms and conditions regarding their deal are unknown, as Chabuddy deleted the email regarding the small print. The Kurupt FM crew's first day in action proves disappointing. Instead of visiting a recording studio as they anticipated, the crew are led to a dance studio to perform a dance commonly featured on the game show, associated with their song, much to their chagrin. After being covertly manipulated by Taka, Grindah insists to the crew that the dances are necessary and are needed for their success in Japan. Later on, the crew go for a photoshoot in their outfits for the concert, and it becomes clear that Taka is publicising Grindah as more important than the rest of the members, prompting an argument within the crew. During dinner with Miche and Taka, a jealous Chabuddy breaks in and berates Grindah for choosing Taka over him, offering Grindah an ultimatum between him or Taka. Grindah refuses to acknowledge the situation, leaving Chabuddy defeated. The feud between Beats and Grindah comes to fruition when they are expected to appear on the game show with their new stage name "Bang Boys". Shortly before the show, Beats lambasts Grindah for not sticking to their garage roots and accuses him of selling out. This results in a scuffle between Beats and Grindah, leaving the latter in tears and the rest of the crew abandoning him. Grindah appears solo on the game show, feeling humiliated as he watches himself fail on the obstacle courses and later on with a disastrous recording session with a J-Pop artist. Meanwhile, Steves has become attracted to Miki but struggles to express his feelings for her. A drunk Chabuddy buys rounds for Japanese salarymen, thinking he is spending Taka's money, until he discovers from Yuta the barman that Taka's tab has been closed. Having spent several hundred pounds on drinks, Chabuddy flees from the hotel to avoid paying and is left homeless. The day of the concert arrives, and only Grindah is there to perform. His nervousness from not having his former crew around and him realising that he has led himself astray from his roots leads him to lock himself in the bathroom. When Chabuddy G arrives after tracking a Bang Boys van to the concert, Grindah has fled. When the Bang Boys' turn on stage arrives, Chabuddy and Miki convince Taka's managers that he knows the dance routine and promptly leave. What is left of Kurupt FM crew are sulking in a karaoke bar. Suddenly, Grindah enters and reaffirms his friendship with Beats, saying it is the "best thing to happen" to him. The rest of the gang arrive and do an emotional karaoke performance to 'Heart Monitor Riddem', whilst Taka embarrasses himself at the concert. During the credits, Kurupt FM is set to release their first album, Miche is looking to publish a book, and Steves and Miki become domestic partners. However, it is unknown how Steves will return to England. Cast Allan Mustafa as Anthony "MC Grindah" Zografos Hugo Chegwin as Kevin "DJ Beats" Bates Asim Chaudhry as Chabud "Chabuddy G" Gul Steve Stamp as Steven "Steves" Green Dan Sylvester as Decoy Lily Brazier as Michelle "Miche" Zografos (née Coleman) George Keywood as Craig Hitomi Souno as Miki Ken Yamamura as Taka Nero Huang as Yuta Ruth Bratt as Roche Olivia Jasmine Edwards as Angel Zografos Production On 28 November 2019, it was announced that a film adaptation of television sitcom People Just Do Nothing was in production with cast the original cast, featuring Hitomi Souno, Ken Yamamura and Nero Huang. Jack Clough is the director of the film. Filming began on 28 November 2019 in Japan and the United Kingdom, lasting for six weeks. Filming in Japan took place mainly in the Tokyo area, and the crew displayed Kurupt FM stickers throughout the Tokyo filming locations. Some filming also took place in Griffin Park in the UK. The first official image of the cast in Japan was released on 28 November 2019. In June 2020, it was announced that the original release date of August 2020 had been moved to 5 February 2021, which was again moved to 13 August 2021. On 12 May 2021, the first trailer was released and a release date of 18 August 2021 given for the film. Home media People Just Do Nothing: Big in Japan was released on Blu-ray and DVD on November 22, 2021 by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment (through Warner Bros. Home Entertainment) in the United Kingdom. Reception On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 79% based on 14 reviews, with an average rating of 6.4/10. Kevin Maher of The Times gave the film 2/5 and was concerned about the Japanese stereotypes - "Eventually it starts to feel like lowest-common-denominator humour". The Guardian gave it 3 out 5 commenting "The result is an amiable if unambitious showbiz satire, somewhere between The Office and Spinal Tap although not as groundbreaking as either". Bob Mann of One Mann's Movies reflected the views of someone who has not seen the TV version, something that he comments will be key to the box office success of the movie. Giving the movie 3.5 out of 5, he commented that "as a PJDN virgin, I still laughed a lot!".

Third Davutoğlu Cabinet

The Third Davutoğlu Cabinet is the 64th government of the Republic of Turkey. The government came into effect after the Justice and Development Party (AKP), led by Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu, won a parliamentary majority of 84 in the November 2015 general election with 317 seats in the Grand National Assembly and 49.5% of the vote. President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan formally invited Ahmet Davutoğlu to form a government on 17 November 2015. Amid delays in the formal inauguration that were attributed to disagreements between Erdoğan and Davutoğlu on the government's composition, the government was finalised and accepted on 24 November 2015. On 22 May 2016, Davutoğlu submitted the government's resignation on behalf of the cabinet to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan after stepping down as leader of the AKP following reports of disagreements with Erdoğan. The cabinet continued in office until a new government was formed by Davutoğlu's successor as AKP leader, Binali Yıldırım. Proposed structural changes Between the election and the formal inauguration of the new government, the Ministry of Development began working on the establishment of one new government ministry and splitting six others into two. The proposals, according to the pro-government Sabah newspaper, involved a new 'Migration Ministry' to deal with the European migrant crisis. Composition Dissolution The resignation of the cabinet was initially announced on 5 May 2016 by Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu, who announced that he was stepping down as AKP leader and Prime Minister following a breakdown in relations with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The resignation of the cabinet was formally submitted on 22 May 2016 after Binali Yıldırım was elected as Davutoğlu's successor in the 2nd AKP Extraordinary Congress and stayed in office until Yıldırım formed the 65th government of Turkey on 24 May 2016.

Canada's Stonehenge

Canada's Stonehenge: Astounding Archaeological Discoveries in Canada, England, and Wales is a 2009 self-published book by retired chemistry professor Gordon Freeman, in which the author claims that the Majorville Cairn and Medicine Wheel site, located south of Bassano, Alberta is actually a precise 5,000-year-old calendar. He also discusses Stonehenge, which he believes was also a calendar. The archeological site This structure is known by archaeologists as a medicine wheel dated to 3200 BCE (5200 years ago) by careful stratification of known artifact types. Medicine wheels are sited throughout the northern United States and southern Canada, specifically South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. Most medicine wheels follow the basic pattern of having a center of stone, and surrounding that is an outer ring of stones with "spokes" (lines of rocks) radiating from the center to the four directions (East, South, West, and North). Some medicine wheels have many additional spokes inbetween the cardinal-aligned spokes. Freeman's interpretation Gordon Freeman challenged the conventional interpretation in his book, stating that it is actually a 26 square-kilometer stone calendar that marks the changing seasons better than our modern calendar. Freeman argues that the 28 rays of the medicine wheel show that it is a lunar calendar. Unlike Stonehenge, which is constructed of extremely large stones (megaliths), the Majorville site is constructed of small piles of rocks (cairns) which Freeman says are patterned over an extremely large area. He describes it as a complex, spider-web‐like pattern of stones extending over an area of about thirty square kilometres. He views the hilltop centrepiece of the site as a sunburst image made of stones. Freeman believed that those rocks and rock piles were "highly engineered," and could not be natural. He spent 28 years photographing the site at different times of year and looking for astronomical alignments. Academic reaction It has been noted, however, that the author engages in "speculation that treads close to fiction", often using conditional phrases "such as perhaps, presumably, seems to be, and might have been". University of Alberta archaeologist Jack Ives is cautious about accepting Freeman's ideas. He notes that as the area is an ancient glacial moraine "[y]ou have to be very careful about what you line up". However, he did agree that the radial lines "may certainly reflect solstices and equinoxes. How much more sophisticated beyond that has been a subject of debate". Freeman is known for his heterodox writings that have been widely characterized as sexist. In 1990, Freeman published a paper in the Canadian Journal of Physics entitled "Kinetics of non homogenous processes in human society: unethical behaviour and societal chaos" in which he argued - without evidence - that “women who work outside the home contribute to the moral degeneration of their children.” This article was not retracted until 2020. In its retraction statement, the journal notes that "Information was gathered in an unethical and unscientific manner, data are incomplete, and the conclusions are unsupported."

Big Urban Game Along with Frank Lantz and Nick Fortugno, Salen was asked to help design this large-scale urban game for part of the Twin Cities Design Celebration. All residents were encouraged to participate in the race, the goal of which was to move a 25-foot high inflatable game piece through a route throughout the Twin Cities, hitting several "checkpoints." Salen created this game to engage a large community with culture and with each other, in an effort to make the residents more aware of urban design. Waking Life Salen worked as an animator for this critically acclaimed feature film, directed by Richard Linklater. The film explores topics such as free will, determinism, dreams and the nature of reality.

C.-H. Hermansson

Carl-Henrik "C.-H." Hermansson (14 December 1917 – 26 July 2016) was a Swedish politician who served as chairman of the Communist Party of Sweden (during his leadership renamed to the Left Party – Communists) from 1964 to 1975 and member of parliament from 1963 to 1985. He was a major force in redirecting Left Party policies away from Moscow loyalism towards Eurocommunism and Scandinavian Popular Socialism. He wrote several books regarding capitalism and the owners of the large corporations, as well as on communists and the policies of the left. At the time of Joseph Stalin's death in 1953, Hermansson praised Stalin as a brilliant scientist and a great leader. He subsequently regretted this and referred to his own words about Stalin as reprehensible. References Further reading Schmidt, W. 2005. C.H. Hermansson: En politisk biografi.

Botanic Garden of Casimir the Great University, Bydgoszcz

The Botanic Garden of Casimir the Great University is located in the center of Bydgoszcz, close to the main campus of the Kazimierz Wielki University in Bydgoszcz (). The facility fulfils several roles: scientific research, but also didactic and recreational activities. Location and aims The site occupies the site of the former Botanic Garden of Bydgoszcz downtown. The garden is long and large, bordered by the following streets: Chodkiewicza, Niemcewicza and Powstańców Wielkopolskich. On the east lies the main and historic campus of the UKW. The mission of the garden is to collect, cultivate and display selected herbaceous species, trees, shrubs and phytocoenosis for scientific purposes, didactics and popularization. Scientific research is regularly conducted on site (e.g. mycorrhiza study on selected species, assessment of the insect pollination, study of large fungi). The garden participates every year to the Bydgoszcz Science Festival, an annual popular-science event organised by Bydgoszcz universities and non-academic institutions since 2010. History The Arboretum was established in 1930 on the site of a former school garden called Botanik, smaller in size than today (0.71 ha). It was part of a city botanic garden ensemble, managed by engineer Marian Güntzel. During World War II, this facility was partially devastated by the necessary earthworks related to the defense of the city. After the war, municipal authorities decided to restore the site to its original appearance. As such, on January 26, 1946, City Board of Bydgoszcz passed a resolution to grant the Botanic Garden with the status of research institution, with a separate organizational structure. The area was increased to 2.5 hectares, and a villa was assigned to the management of the arboretum, together with commercial buildings, both adjacent to Niemcewicza street. Originally, a Museum of Natural History and Natural Sciences was planned to be established in these buildings. Between 1946–1951, technical installations were set up, a small greenhouse and a farm house were built and the garden gradually replenished with new species of trees and bushes, native and foreign. In 1946, the city botanic garden was officially opened, with Andrzej Michalski as first director. In 1951, the garden was handed over to the Plant Breeding and Acclimatization Institute () which ran it until 1979. IHAR facility is still present today at Powstańców Wielkopolskich Street 10. Since 1971, the arboretum has been part of the Polish Central Plant Collection. Nonetheless, garden's main task has always been popularization of the diversity of the world of plants, both native and foreign, towards visitors, by giving the opportunity to face "in the flesh" the multiplicity of plants in an urban environment. Botanik has been covering -since its re-creation in 1951- various fields of biology, plant morphology, plant pathology, dendrology. In the 1970s, the garden had gathered 300 species of plants, and published annually a Seed Catalog, exchanging grains with other botanic gardens in Poland and abroad. In 1977, decision was made to create a larger Botanic Garden in Bydgoszcz in the north-eastern part of the Forest Park of Culture and Leisure (), downgrading the old Botanik to an urban public park. In 1995, with the help of Voivodeship Nature Conservator, Engineer Marek Wilcz, the park was granted the status of Comprehensive Natural Monument, as an arboretum. In 1999, the botanic garden, comprising about 220 species of trees and shrubs, was handed over to the UKW and became a didactic and scientific laboratory of the Department of Botany of the Institute of Biology and Environmental Protection of the Faculty of Natural Sciences. Since then, a gradual revitalization of the garden has begun: In 2002, the pond was modernized and a number of small architectural elements have been established (Rose garden, rural garden with an insect habitat and a cactus garden); Since 2006, UKW runs the area in accordance with the Nature Conservation Act. The Botanic garden is now a member of the Polish Botanic Gardens Council; Since 2010, in the building of the former garden library, an Arboretum Gallery has been set up, presenting art pieces and pictures. The manager of the Arboretum since 1999 is Barbara Wilbrandt. The revitalization project of the arboretum was included in the Bydgoszcz Development Program 2009-2014. It encompassed the renovation and reconstruction of the technical infrastructure (i.e. greenhouses, pergolas, sundials, sculptures, walls, gates fences, water and alpine plants and others) and the revitalization of the botanical area (e.g. reconstruction of stands, creation of a parterres for endangered and protected plants). Characteristics The garden occupies a partly covered area featuring wide, mildly descending terraces, with a slight slope from north to south. Nowadays, around 400 species of trees and shrubs and 700 species of herbaceous plants, both from native and foreign origins, are gathered there. The arboretum is divided into sections: plant biology, ecology, systematics, useful plants, medicinal plants, ornamental plants, arboretum and orchard. Within the ecology area have been re-created on a 50 m2 surface the flora of mountains, inland dunes, steppes, salt flats, peatlands and ponds. Among the built structures, one can notice stone arches, pergolas, and a small courtyard showing on its centre a sundial, with four stone sculptures ( tall) standing in corners, portraying the seasons. This allegoric ensemble, called The four parts of the year, was in the initial 1930's botanic garden lay out, offered by Polish sculptor Bronisław Kłobucki (1896-1939). They have been lost, together with the sundial, when the new botanic garden at Myślęcinek opened in 1979. Thanks to sponsoring efforts (Ewa Taterczynska Foundation and Bydgoszcz Pomeranian Gas Company), the decorative courtyard has been restored to its original shape and location. Stone figures Autumn () and Winter () have been realized by Stanisław Radwański from Gdańsk and set back in the arboretum in mid-May 2008 and on March 22, 2010. Last two sculptures, also by Stanisław Radwański, have been placed back to the garden on September 18, 2014 (Spring - ), and on October 17, 2015, (Summer - ). In addition, the lost sundial has been replicated by Richard Lewandowski. On the southern side of the Botanic Garden stands, along the fence, a 1930 relief displaying a map of Bydgoszcz. Made of artificial stone by Bronisław Kłobucki, author of the allegory figures of the seasons, the plan exposes rivers, valleys, hills, waters, railways, selected roads and buildings. The relief was accompanied by water sprayers (now non-existent) and two stone benches with mascarons. In 1979, the sculptor Stanisław Horno-Popławski moved to a small house in the Botanic Garden, which he used as a studio. On July 22 of this year, then the official holiday in the Polish People's Republic, Horno-Popławski opened in the garden permanent outdoor exhibition of his compositions, which he donated to the city. Called Stone Stream (), the collection included the following works: "Partisan", "Memories of Bagrati", "Morena", "Copernicus", "Tadeusz Breyer", "Tehura", "Gruzinka", "Waiting", "Szota Rustawelli", "Colchida" , "Żal", "Pogodna", "Beethoven" and "Hair". These artworks are now incorporated into the rich vegetation of the Garden, giving it a poetic look. Species and vegetation The collection of trees and shrubs of the arboretum counts 660 species and plant varieties, including 65 families, 161 species and 13 crossbreedings. They are from diverse origins: native, foreign, legally protected and relict species.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super%20Street%20Fighter%20IV

Super Street Fighter IV

is a 2010 fighting game produced by Capcom. It is an updated version of Street Fighter IV and has been said to mark the definitive end of the Street Fighter IV series. Having been deemed too large an update to be deployed as DLC, the game was made into a standalone title but given a lower price than that of a full retail game. It was released in April 2010 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition was released as one of the launch titles for the Nintendo 3DS, with 3D functionality, on February 26, 2011, in Japan. The game has sold 1.9 million units worldwide, while the 3D Edition for the 3DS has sold an additional 1.1 million units worldwide. Gameplay Much like Street Fighter IV, Super Street Fighter IV features 3D backgrounds and characters played on a 2D plane. Exclusive additions like Focus- Attacks and separate meters for both Super and Ultra Combos make a return. The Ultra Combo gauge and moves has been left unchanged since Street Fighter IV. All characters feature at least two Ultra Combos. However, only one Ultra can be selected at a time in a way similar to the Super Arts system in the Street Fighter III series. To Use a Super Combo or an Ultra Combo, the respective meters have to be full. The Ultra combo meter charges up when the player gets hit and so it can also be called a Revenge Meter. The Ultra Combo meter is the one right next to the Super Combo meter. The goal is to exhaust the opponent's health meter before the time runs out. The player wins a round if they deplete their opponent's health meter, or have more health than their opponent when time runs out. If both players deplete their meters at the same time or contain the same amount when the round timer ends, it will result in either a "Double KO" or a draw giving both players a round win. If there isn't a clear winner by the final match, it will result in a "draw game" (during online play, both players will lose battle points, and player points, in the result of a draw game). Similar to past entries, Super Street Fighter IV is played using an eight-way directional system giving players the ability to jump, crouch, and move towards and away from opponents. Generally, there are six attack buttons for both punch and kick commands with three of each type, differing in strength and speed. Similar to the latter two games from the Street Fighter III series, grabs are performed by pressing both light attacks, while taunts are performed by pressing both heavy attacks simultaneously. When playing through the single-player mode, if toggled on, there are additional bonus stages allowing a chance to receive additional points, similar to the ones found in Street Fighter II. The first challenge involves destroying a car while the second has players break as many barrels as they can. Super Street Fighter IV features modes from the original game including "Arcade", "Versus", "Training", and "Trials". The game features a few additional online modes apart from Ranked battles. "Team Battle" can have up to 4 players per team to battle against another group. "Endless Battle" has the winner playing against a rotating group of up to 8 players. To replace Street Fighter IV's "Championship Mode", "Tournament" allows players compete in a small single elimination bracket. "Replay Channel" allows players to view and save replays from various matches around the world. Characters "Super Street Fighter IV" includes all the original 25 World Warriors from the home version of "Street Fighter IV", as well as 10 new fighters, all of which are unlocked at the start of the game; this means that there a total of 35 characters in "Super Street Fighter IV". Each returning character received a new intro and ending in arcade mode. Among the added World Warriors are Dee Jay and T. Hawk from Super Street Fighter II, who were initially intended for the original Street Fighter IV but later dropped. Adon from the original Street Fighter and Cody and Guy from Final Fight are available, based on their incarnations in the Street Fighter Alpha series. Additionally, Dudley, Ibuki, and Makoto return from the Street Fighter III series. The game also introduced two all-new fighters. One of them is Juri, a young South Korean female Taekwondo fighter, who works for Seth's organization, the Shadaloo Intimidation Network (S.I.N.). Juri has an energy-boosting device implanted inside her left eye called the "Feng Shui Engine", which provides her with time-warping abilities. The second fighter, Hakan, is a Turkish oil wrestler who seeks to prove that Turkish oil wrestling is the greatest fighting style on Earth. Each returning character from the original version of Street Fighter IV features an additional third costume, whereas newly introduced characters have only 2 available. Old costumes from the original Street Fighter IV can be used after purchasing downloadable costume packs from Xbox Live or PlayStation Network. These costumes are automatically loaded in Super Street Fighter IV. Development Capcom officially hinted at the game in early September 2009 when they opened a teaser site in their official Japanese website. An official announcement was made on September 28, 2009, for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, with an arcade version initially only considered a possibility depending on fan support. In 2010 Yoshinori Ono said: "I have no intention of carrying on Street Fighter IV into Hyper Street Fighter IV or Ultra Street Fighter IV, because I'm aware of the mistakes Capcom has made in the past. So whether it would be a different IP or another Street Fighter, we'd like to keep options open. But in terms of Street Fighter IV, this is definitive... Super Street Fighter IV should be the distinctive end. Obviously there can be updates via DLC so perhaps in 2011, we could upload a patch for Super Street Fighter IV 2011 edition that would have tuning and balancing. But as a packaged product, I think this is the last." Ports Arcade version On April 4, 2010, an arcade version of Super Street Fighter IV was confirmed by producer Yoshinori Ono during the Japanese Street Fighter IV finals. Various playtests were handled in various arcades as well as appearing during the Street Fighter IV finals at Tougeki - Super Battle Opera. For the arcade version of the game, every character received various tweaks, ranging from character balancing to new EX moves. The arcade version of SSFIV added twin brothers Yun and Yang from the Street Fighter III series as playable characters, and introduced Evil Ryu and Oni as hidden bosses. During the launch of the arcade version, a launch trailer was uploaded teasing secret characters Evil Ryu and Oni. Various arcades around the United States who obtained Arcade Edition units also were since able to gain access to the initially non-selectable, then unannounced characters planned for a later release. Videos featuring Evil Ryu and Oni were requested to be closed as well as accounts suspended at the request of Capcom. Evil Ryu became officially playable on March 25, 2011, while Oni was released on April 8, 2011. As with the previous version, the arcade version of Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition utilizes an NESYS Card system which allows players to keep and track their BP and PP statistics. The pre-match screen will now show a national rank and a prefectural rank as well as an introduction message up to 30 characters long. The arcade version of the game would be later ported to home platforms in the form of Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition, offered as both a retail game, and as an update to Super Street Fighter IV. Nintendo 3DS adaptation At E3 2010, Super Street Fighter IV 3D Edition was announced for the Nintendo 3DS. It takes advantage of its features such as autostereoscopic 3D and improved wireless features, such as Wi-Fi. In an interview with Famitsu, Yoshinori Ono stated that the gameplay would be the same as Super Street Fighter IV. Ono hoped that they can put all the gameplay modes from the console release on the game, plus original content, and they were looking to the possibility of including arranged costumes. Famitsu stated that all the 35 console characters, plus all the systems, would be on the 3DS release. The game has been called "exactly the same" as its HD counterparts by Capcom. The game features two control schemes, Light and Pro. Light mode allows players to set up to four hotkeys for moves and combos on the touchscreen, with each character having a custom loadout. For Pro players, combos have to be performed manually, but hotkeys can still be assigned to certain commands to compensate for the 3DS's control layout. The game can be played either in the traditional 2D viewpoint, or in an optional over the shoulder 3D view. Also announced was the ability to swap "trophies" using "StreetPass" and the ability to launch into battles when in proximity of another Street Fighter IV player. The game will also feature Download Play, allowing two local players who have downloaded the game from another player to play against each other without a copy of the game (though these players are restricted to only one stage and Ryu). Updates Downloadable content In Asia, a voucher for a downloadable Super Street Fighter IV OVA featuring Juri was supplied in the Collector's Edition of the Xbox 360 version. The 40-minute feature serves as an origin story to Juri and a canonical precursor to the game. Although having been fully dubbed in English, the movie was not released outside of Asia until its inclusion as part of the Street Fighter 25th Anniversary Collector's Set in 2012. Owners of the original Street Fighter IV costume DLC packs are able to access their previously purchased DLC packs in the new game, as well as having two extra colors unlocked which are only available upon detecting a save from that game. A downloadable Tournament Mode was released on June 15, 2010. As with its previous incarnation, Super Street Fighter IV offers optional alternate costumes for each of the characters through paid DLC. Sold in packs, the first bundle was made available on April 27, 2010. Between October 27, 2010, and early 2011, players can purchase another set of optional alternate costumes through paid DLC packs. Arcade Edition Released in July 2012, Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition is an update that brings the changes in the arcade version of Super Street Fighter IV to the home systems. The update, available as downloadable content in the console versions, and a retail game for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Microsoft Windows, includes several balance changes, as well adding Yun, Yang, Oni and Evil Ryu as playable characters. Ultra Street Fighter IV A new update for Street Fighter IV titled Ultra Street Fighter IV was announced in July 2013. The new edition was released on June 4, 2014, as an arcade machine, a DLC add-on for existing console versions of Super Street Fighter IV, and as a stand-alone game containing DLC from previous iterations. Along with various gameplay tweaks and additional modes, the update adds six additional stages and five additional characters: Rolento, Elena, Poison and Hugo (all ported from their Street Fighter x Tekken appearances), as well as an all-new character, Decapre. Reception IGN gave the Super Street Fighter IV a 9.0 and an Editor's Choice award, calling it "a superior version of one of the best fighting games around... with a far more developed online mode compared to the original version". GameTrailers gave the game 9.3, praising it for its improvements over the original. Giant Bomb's Jeff Gerstmann gave the game 5/5 saying "Super Street Fighter IV adds enough great new content to justify skipping over the 'Champion Edition' and 'Hyper Fighting' steps in the Street Fighter upgrade path." GameSpot gave the game a 9.0, commenting that "Super Street Fighter IV stands tall on the broad shoulders of its predecessor. Its large and diverse character roster, balance tweaks, and comprehensive online play reaffirm its place as one of the best fighters this generation, and it's a worthy upgrade even if you own last year's version" In 2011, Complex ranked it as the 40th best fighting game of all time. In 2019, Game Informer ranked it as the 10th best fighting game of all time. Computer and Video Games gave the 3DS Edition a score of 9.0, praising its appeal to both hardcore and casual gamers, as well as having as much content as its console counterpart. Kotaku also praised the port, saying "if you are going to buy one 3DS game, get this." In their October 2013 issue, Edge retroactively awarded the game a coveted ten out of ten, one of only twenty-three games to achieve that perfect score in the magazine's twenty-year history.

Pamparaptor

Pamparaptor is an extinct genus of carnivorous deinonychosaur from the late Cretaceous period. It is a basal dromaeosaurid dinosaur with troodontid-like pes which lived during the late Cretaceous period (Turonian to Coniacian stage) in what is now Neuquén province, Patagonia, Argentina. It is known from the holotype MUCPv-1163, an articulated and nearly complete left foot. The specimen recovered from the Portezuelo Formation (Río Neuquén Subgroup) of Neuquén Group. It was initially considered to be a juvenile specimen of another dromaeosaurid species, Neuquenraptor argentinus. However, it was later re-interpreted as a new genus and named Pamparaptor by Juan D. Porfiri, Jorge O. Calvo and Domenica dos Santos in 2011 and the type species is Pamparaptor micros. The generic name honors Indian Pampas people who lived in central Argentina while "raptor" means "robber" in Latin. The specific name (micros, meaning "small") refers to the specimen's size (estimated at in length).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time%20in%20Switzerland

Time in Switzerland

Switzerland uses a single time zone, denoted as Central European Time (CET: UTC+01:00). Switzerland also observes summer time, shifting to Central European Summer Time (CEST: UTC+02:00). Formerly, UTC+00:30 (called Bernese Time) was used until the adoption of CET in 1894. Daylight saving time Whilst DST was introduced in much of Western Europe in the spring of 1980, Switzerland did not implement DST until the following year. This resulted in there being a one hour time difference between Switzerland and most of Western Europe, including all of the bordering countries (with the exception of Liechtenstein) for around six months in 1980. The German village of Büsingen am Hochrhein, a small exclave, entirely surrounded by Swiss territory, did not implement DST in 1980 either and observed the same time as Switzerland, meaning there was a one hour time difference between this village and the rest of Germany. The zone Europe/Busingen was created in the 2013a release of the tz database, because since the Unix time epoch in 1970, Büsingen has shared clocks with Zurich. Since 1981 the shifts to DST occur on the date as specified for European Summer Time. Historically DST was observed in 1941 and in 1942. Solar time The difference of longitude between the western and easternmost points of Switzerland is equivalent to 4°32′09″, resulting in a difference of approximately 18 minutes of solar time. IANA time zone database The IANA time zone database contains one zone for Switzerland in the file zone.tab, named Europe/Zurich. Columns marked with * are the columns from zone.tab itself.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earl%20of%20Denbigh

Earl of Denbigh

Earl of Denbigh (pronounced "Denby") is a title in the Peerage of England. It was created in 1622 for the courtier, soldier and brother-in-law of the powerful Duke of Buckingham, William Feilding, 1st Viscount Feilding. The title is named after Denbigh or Denbighshire.Since the time of the third earl (1640) the Earl of Denbigh has also held the title of Earl of Desmond, in the Peerage of Ireland. The family seat is Newnham Paddox at Monks Kirby in Warwickshire. The eighth earl converted to Roman Catholicism in the 1850s, in which faith the family has remained. The earldom was one of the hereditary peerages whose entitlement to sit in the House of Lords was removed by the House of Lords Act 1999. The origins of the Feilding family The Feilding family have been Lords of Newnham Paddox in Monks Kirby, Warwickshire since 1433. They are also descended from the Newnham family (named from the estate) who held Newnham Paddox in the 1100s and 1200s (see Monks Kirby). Originally a family of minor midlands gentry, following their elevation to the peerage in the early 17th century, the Feildings began to claim descent from the Habsburgs through the counts of Laufenburg and Rheinfelden. The claim was researched by historians Edward Gibbon and William Dugdale and was widely accepted for centuries but was also subject to ridicule. The claim was debunked around the turn of the 20th century by J. Horace Round. Creation of the titles of Earl of Denbigh and Earl of Desmond William, the first earl of Denbigh owed his elevation in court and to the peerage primarily to his marriage with Susan Villiers. The Villiers family were also minor Midlands gentry until Susan's brother, George Villiers, became the confidant and lover of King James I and was granted the dukedom of Buckingham. Hugely powerful, George Villiers showered preferment on his family: not only was William Feilding made earl of Denbigh, but even William's eight year old second son (named George after his important uncle) was given the right to an additional Earldom - that of Desmond. William Feilding, the first Earl of Denbigh William Feilding was Master of the Great Wardrobe under King James I and also took part in the Expedition to Cádiz of 1625. Feilding had already been created Baron Feilding, of Newnham Paddox in the County of Warwick, and Viscount Feilding in 1620 before being made Earl of Denbigh in 1622. All three titles are in the Peerage of England. Basil Feilding, the Second Earl of Denbigh Lord Denbigh was succeeded by his eldest son, Basil, the second Earl. In contrast to his father he fought as a Parliamentarian in the Civil War. In 1664 he was created Baron St Liz in the Peerage of England, with remainder to the heirs male of his father. George Feilding, the First Earl of Desmond (4th Creation) William's second son was the Hon. George Feilding. In 1622, when George was around 8 years old, James I created him Baron Fielding, of Lecaghe in the County of Tipperary, and Viscount Callan, of Callan in the County of Kilkennyand. At the same time George was given the right to the title Earl of Desmond as and when the previous holder of that title died without an heir. That happened in 1628. All three titles were in the Peerage of Ireland. Earl of Desmond is an ancient Irish title, the 1628 award was its 4th, and current creation. Earls of Denbigh (1st creation) and Earls of Desmond (4th creation) Basil, the second earl of Denbigh, died childless and was succeeded by his nephew, William Feilding, 2nd Earl of Desmond, who now also became the third Earl of Denbigh (he also succeeded in the barony of St Liz by special remainder). Basil, the fourth Earl of Denbigh, served as Lord-Lieutenant of Leicestershire and Denbighshire. Rudolph, the eight earl (the name Rudolph began to be used by the family on the basis of their fictitious claim to Habsburg ancestry - see above) was notable member of the Oxford Movement and converted to Roman Catholicism. The family have continued in the Catholic faith, becoming one of the pre-eminent English Catholic families. The ninth Earl, served as a Lord-in-waiting (government whip in the House of Lords) from 1897 to 1905 in the Conservative administrations of Lord Salisbury and Arthur Balfour. The eleventh earl, under the name Rollo Feilding, raced sports cars Since the third earl, the titles have descended from father to son, with the exception of the seventh earl and tenth earl whose inherited the title from their grandfathers. The title is currently held by the twelfth earl, who succeeded his father in 1995. Lord Denbigh is Grand Carver of England.

Sarah Fielding sister of Henry, was also a well-known author. John Fielding, half-brother of Henry and Susan was a celebrated blind magistrate (having served as assistant to Henry).

Jozef Van Lerius

Joseph Henri François Van Lerius (23 December 1823, Antwerp – 29 February 1876, Mechelen) was a Belgian painter in the Romantic-Historical style. Life Van Lerius was born in Boom, Antwerp, on 23 November 1823. In 1838, he was already an apprentice draftsman at the Académie Royale des Beaux-Arts in Brussels. From 1839 to 1844, he was a student of Gustave Wappers. He took a study trip through Germany and Italy in 1852. Two years later, he was appointed to a position as a painting instructor at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (Antwerp). His notable students included Lawrence Alma-Tadema, Aloïs Boudry, Gerard Portielje, Henri Van Dyck and Piet Verhaert. In 1861, he was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Order of Leopold and in 1869 became a Knight in the Order of St.Michael. In 1875, he was diagnosed with meningitis. The following year, he died in Mechelen, where he had gone for treatment. Work Van Lerius painted mythological and biblical scenes as well as portraits and genre pictures. Much of his work is didactic in nature. In 1852 Queen Victoria bought his painting "Premier Né" (First Born), depicting a young couple with a baby. It is still on display at Windsor Castle. Perhaps his best-known work is "Lady Godiva", which was shown at the Antwerp Triennial Salon in 1870. It was purchased by London art dealer Henry Graves. Other paintings found their way to San Francisco and St.Petersburg. For many years, he had an agent in New York. Many of his works (especially "Lady Godiva" and "Cinderella") have been widely reproduced. References Sources Biographie Nationale de Belgique, Vol.IX. A. Brokken, I. Machielsen and B.
