67484167 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans%20Kollwitz | Hans Kollwitz | Hans Kollwitz (14 May 1892 – 22 September 1971) was a German epidemiologist, eldest son of artist Käthe Kollwitz. He obtained his degree in medicine and psychotherapy in 1928. He was also a World War I veteran, in which he voluntarily served, after joining from the German Youth Movement where he was a Wandervogel.
Biography
Hans was born to Karl Kollwitz (1863–1940) and artist Käthe Kollwitz (1867–1945). At the outbreak of World War I, Hans voluntarily joined the Imperial German Army and served in the war. His younger brother Peter, was killed in action in 1914 in Belgium.
In 1920 he married Otthilie Ehlers (1900–1963), who, like his mother, was also a graphic artist. Among other things, she also illustrated children's books and made woodcuts and wood engravings of predominantly East Prussian landscapes. Together they had one son Peter (1921–1942) and two daughters, Jutta and Jordis in 1923 and son Arne in 1930. His son Peter was killed in action in 1942 in World War II on the Eastern Front in Russia at the age of 21. He had been named in memory of Hans's younger brother, who died at the age of 18 in World War I.
After his graduation, he moved to Lichtenrade, which was particularly hard hit by air raids on Nazi Germany on 3 December 1943. The house of the Kollwitz family was badly damaged and was no longer habitable afterwards.
He never joined the Nazi Party and served in the health administration after World War II.

Background
The death of Mas'ud III of Ghazni in 1115 began a heated contest for the throne. Shirzad took the throne that year but the next year he was assassinated by his younger brother Arslan. Arslan had to face the rebellion of his other brother, Bahram, who received support from the Seljuk Sultan Ahmad Sanjar.
Battle
Ahmad Sanjar invading from Khorasan took his army into Afghanistan and inflicted a crushing defeat to Arslan near Ghazni at Shahrabad. Arslan managed to escape and Bahram succeeded to the throne as the Seljuk's vassal.

13491291 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis%20Nogu%C3%A8res | Louis Noguères | Louis Noguères (4 October 1881 – 5 May 1956) was a French politician and member of the French Resistance.
Son of a magistrate, Louis Noguères was born at Laval, Mayenne. His family moved frequently and Louis attended schools in Laval, Angers, Chambéry, and Le Havre. He studied law and history at the Sorbonne in Paris. In Paris he met Jean Jaurès and collaborated with him on the sixth volume of L'Histoire de la Révolution et de l'Empire. Although supportive of socialism, Noguères did not join the French Section of the Workers' International (SFIO) at this time. Recalled to active service during the First World War, he served in the infantry and the air force, and received the Légion d'honneur.
He worked as a lawyer for many years before first standing for election as mayor of Thuir in the Pyrénées-Orientales in 1931. In 1935, now a member of the SFIO, he was reelected as mayor and was elected to the Chamber of Deputies in at the end of 1937.
On 10 July 1940, Louis Noguères was one of the eighty who voted against granting special powers to Marshal Philippe Pétain. Placed under police surveillance, he was ejected from the Chamber of Deputies in February 1941 when a letter which expressed his hostility to the Vichy Regime, Nazi Germany, and Fascism, was intercepted. He publicly expressed opposition to Vichy at the funeral of Senator Georges Pézières in March 1941, and was placed under house arrest, first Argentat in Corrèze, then at Florac in Lozère.
His activities came to the attention of the Gestapo, who decided to arrest him in the autumn of 1943. Forewarned by the resistance, he escaped and joined the Maquis in Aveyron where he contributed to resistance journals such as Le Populaire, Libération and Vaincre.
After the liberation of France, Noguères was a member of the French National Assembly, and served as president of the High Court, presiding over trials of Vichy ministers and functionaries. He stepped down from the court in 1951. He also served as president of the General council from 1945 until his death.
He died at Bages. He was the father of Henri Noguères.

14768908 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAGEA3 | MAGEA3 | Melanoma-associated antigen 3 (MAGE-A3) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MAGEA3 gene.
Genetics
This gene is a member of the melanoma-associated antigen gene family. The members of this family encode proteins with 50 to 80% sequence identity to each other. The promoters and first exons of the MAGEA genes show considerable variability, suggesting that the existence of this gene family enables the same function to be expressed under different transcriptional controls. The MAGEA genes are clustered at chromosomal location Xq28. They have been implicated in some hereditary disorders, such as dyskeratosis congenita.
Function and Clinical relevance
The normal function of MAGE-A3 in healthy cells is unknown. The presence of the antigen on tumor cells has been associated with worse prognosis. In one study, high levels of MAGE-A3 in lung adenocarcinoma were associated with shorter survival.
MAGE-A3 is a tumor-specific protein, and has been identified on many tumors including melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, hematologic malignancies, among others. Currently, GlaxoSmithKline is developing a cancer vaccine targeting MAGE-A3. The vaccine is a fusion protein of MAGE-A3 and Haemophilus influenzae protein D, combined with a proprietary immunoadjuvant.

While Stanton began his career as a bondage fantasy artist for Irving Klaw, the majority of his later work depicted gender role reversal and proto-feminist female dominance scenarios. Commissioned by Irving Klaw starting in the late 1940s, his bondage fantasy chapter serials earned him underground fame. Stanton also worked with pioneering underground fetish art publishers, Leonard Burtman (publisher of Exotique and Selbee magazines), the notorious Times Square publisher Edward Mishkin, paperback publisher Stanley Malkin, and later magazine publisher George W. Mavety. For a decade, Stanton also shared a working studio with Marvel Comics legend Steve Ditko.
Past the soft-core era of the 1960s, his art became more transgressive. Creating a mail-order business in the 1970s named the "Stanton Archives," Stanton sold his work directly to fans and, starting in 1982, issued offset staple-bound fan-inspired books known as "Stantoons," producing more than a hundred till the time of his death. In his lifetime, Stanton also contributed to countless underground publications and later adult magazines like Leg Show and Leg World. In 1984, Stanton had the only art exhibit in his lifetime at the New York City nightclub, Danceteria. Artists Banksy, Allen Jones and Madonna, among others, took inspiration from Stanton's work.
Biography
Early life and career
Stanton was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, the son of an Italian father and a Russian mother. During World War II, while in the US Navy, a head injury left him partially color blind. Following this, he was art assistant to Boody Rogers on Sparky Watts or Babe, supplying background art and plot ideas. Though his personal preference was for drawing lady wrestling and fighting women comics, he was commissioned to create bondage fantasy chapter serials by Irving Klaw, who also sold pin-ups and movie stills from his shop on 212 E. 14th Street. This marked the beginning of his fetish art career. Stanton then attended the Cartoonists and Illustrators School in the early 1950s, studying under comics artist Jerry Robinson and others. One classmate was future Spider-Man and Dr. Strange co-creator Steve Ditko. Another was Gene Bilbrew, whom he introduced to Klaw.
From 1958 to 1968, Stanton shared a Manhattan studio at 43rd Street and Eighth Avenue with Ditko. For many years, the two collaborated on fetish comics. Ditko biographer Blake Bell, without citing sources, said, "At one time in history, Ditko denied ever touching Stanton's work, even though Stanton himself said they would each dabble in each other's art; mainly spot-inking", and the introduction to one book of Stanton's work says, "Eric Stanton drew his pictures in India ink, and they were then hand-coloured by Ditko". In a 1988 interview with Greg Theakston, Stanton recalled that although his contribution to Spider-Man was "almost nil", he and Ditko had "worked on storyboards together and I added a few ideas.... I think I added the business about the webs coming out of his hands". According to the fetish art historian and Stanton biographer Richard Pérez Seves, Stanton may have purposely underplayed his role and contribution to Spider-Man to maintain his friendship with Ditko. Even more startling, evidence exists that Stanton also made uncredited contributions to Dr. Strange.
Later career
Starting in the late 1960s, Stanton supported himself by self-publishing and distributing his work to a quasi-underground network of subscribers and patrons. His offset printed Stantoons comic-book series, which began in 1982, continued to his death in 1999 and featured many of his best-known "transgressive" concepts, including the superheroine Blunder Broad, and the Amazon-like Princkazons.
Blunder Broad
Stanton created Blunder Broad in the 1970s with writer Andrew J. Offutt (a.k.a. Turk Winter), for use in a great number of BDSM adventures. A parody of Wonder Woman, Blunder Broad is an inept superheroine who continually fails in her missions and is invariably tortured by her enemies, who include a lesbian supervillainess called Leopard Lady, Pussycat Galore, or Cheetah, and her male sidekick Count Dastardly. Blunder Broad can be deprived of her super strength when subjected to cunnilingus.
Princkazons
With "Lady Princker", Stanton and Shaltis (as well as Alan Throne and Winter) created the Princkazons storyline in which women around the world grew oversized female penises, or "princks". These women also grew taller and stronger than men and began dominating and humiliating the men in public, including facesitting, urophagia, coprophagia and anal and oral rape.
Legacy
Beginning in the mid-1970s, Bélier Press, a New York publisher of vintage fetish art, reprinted many of Stanton's comic serials in its 24-volume Bizarre Comix series. Titles, mainly from the 1950s, include: Dianna's Ordeal, Perils of Dianna, Priscilla: Queen of Escapes, Poor Pamela, Bound in Leather, Duchess of the Bastille, Bizarre Museum, Pleasure Bound, Rita's School of Discipline, Mrs. Tyrant's Finishing School, Fifi Chastises Her Maids, A Hazardous Journey, Helga's Search for Slaves, Madame Discipline, and Girls' Figure Training Academy.
Book-length collections of Stanton comics have been translated into many foreign languages, including French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Dutch. Additionally, Stanton's art was reprinted in the 1990s in comic books from Fantagraphics Books' imprint Eros Comix: The Kinky Hook (1991), Sweeter Gwen (1992), Confidential TV (1994), and Tops and Bottoms # 1 – 4 (1997). Individual issues were subtitled "Bound Beauty" (# 1), "Lady in Charge" (# 2), "Broken Engagement" (# 3), "Broken Engagement 2" (# 4).

54345834 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary%20G.%20Charlton%20Edholm | Mary G. Charlton Edholm | Mary G. Charlton Edholm (October 28, 1854 – November 29, 1935) was an American reformer and journalist. She worked as a journalist for twenty years. Edholm was appointed World's Superintendent of Press work, at the Boston Convention of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) in 1891. Much of her work was along Christian, temperance and philanthropic lines. For many years, her work averaged 250 columns of original matter, in which every phase of the labors of the WCTU was depicted in thousands of papers in the English-speaking world.
While editing the booklet, "Around the World with Jesus," by evangelist Charles Nelson Crittenton, she became interested in the rescue work among traffic-ed girls, and her book entitled The Traffic in Girls and Florence Crittenton Missions was the result. Edholm became so interested in the plight of these betrayed and enslaved girls that she determined to make social purity work her specialty, and continued to speak and write in their behalf. In 1886, Edholm removed to Oakland, California; by 1893, she was living in Chicago with her only son.
Early life and education
Mary Grace Charlton was born in Freeport, Illinois, October 28, 1854. Her journalistic gift was the inheritance from her father, James B. Charlton, and her mother, Lucy Gow Charlton, who were both fine writers along reformatory lines, especially the abolition of slavery, the temperance movement, and women's suffrage.
She was educated in public schools, and college through her sophomore year. During her sophomore year at Monmouth College, she wrote her exhibition essay on the subject, "Shall our Women Vote?" As a test, she sent it for publication to the Woman's Journal of Boston, and it was published.
Career
After graduating, she contributed articles on women's suffrage and temperance to various periodicals.
She married Osborn L. Edholm, a journalist, in 1878. During her marriage, she developed still more her love for editorial and reportorial work, and for several years they traveled together extensively, and she thereby gained the knowledge and information which comes alone of travel, During those years, her descriptive articles appeared in the New York World, the Chicago Tribune, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Republican, and Chicago Inter Ocean. Both before and after the birth of her children, she wrote continuously.
In 1886, Edholm moved to Oakland, California and was unanimously elected official reporter for the WCTU; in 1891, she was named superintendent of press. Annually, she wrote about 250 columns of original temperance matter for over 200 papers, including the dailies of San Francisco, Oakland, Portland, New Orleans, Boston and New York City, as well as The Union Signal and the New York Voice. She conducted three WCTU excursions across the United States. Her promotion came through Frances E. Willard and Lady Henry Somerset.
She served as secretary for the International Federation Women's Press League, and was editor of The Christian Home in Oakland.
For years, Edholm was interested in the rescue of trafficked girls and she wrote hundreds of articles in defense of outraged womanhood, in such papers as the Woman's Journal, The Woman's Tribune, and the California Illustrated Magazine, where her articles depicted the horrors of the slave traffic in Chinese women for immoral purposes. In evangelistic meetings in Oakland, she met the millionaire evangelist, Crittenton, the founder of Florence Crittenton Missions for the rescue of trafficked girls, and at once entered into descriptive articles of Florence Mission work with such enthusiasm that Crittenton made her reporter of Florence Missions, thus honoring her as a champion of women and widening her field of journalism. In 1895, Edholm was named superintendent of the Crittenton Missions. The horrors of this traffic in girls and their redemption through Florence Missions, Edholm brought out in book form, The Traffic in Girls and Florence Crittenton Missions. She compiled a book of the life of Emily Pitt Stevens, the WCTU Demosthenes and national organizer.
In 1901, Edholm founded the Lucy Charlton Memorial, named after her mother, as a home for unfortunate women and children. For this purpose, she used her own home in Oakland, and she supported the charity from the proceeds of her lectures and the sale of her book. she was the Prohibition nominee for State Superintendent of Public Instruction, California, 1902.
Personal life
For years, Mrs. Edholm has resided in Oakland, and was active in Rev. Dr. Chapman's Church of that city. She died November 29, 1935 in Dobbs Ferry, New York.

18092959 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guyana%20at%20the%202008%20Summer%20Olympics | Guyana at the 2008 Summer Olympics | Guyana sent a team to compete at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, China. Four representatives of Guyana qualified to take part in the Beijing Games–Adam Harris, Marian Burnett, and Aliann Pompey in track, and Niall Roberts in swimming–and Pompey advanced past the first round in her event, progressing to semifinals. Meanwhile, Alika Morgan (track & field) and Geron Williams (cycling) took part in the Games' Youth Olympics camp, held in Beijing at the same time as the Olympics. Along with coaches and administrative members, Guyana sent a total of ten people to Beijing. The appearance of Guyana's delegation in Beijing marked the fifteenth Guyanese Olympic delegation to appear at an Olympic games, which started with their participation as British Guiana in the 1948 Summer Olympics. There were no medalists from Guyana at the Beijing Olympics. Roberts was Guyana's flagbearer at the ceremonies in Beijing.
Background
Guyana is a former British colony that extends from the northern coast of South America. It is adjacent to Venezuela, Brazil, and Suriname, and is within the vicinity of the island nation of Trinidad and Tobago. Athletes from Guyanese delegations have appeared at the Olympics since the 1948 Summer Olympics in London, and have participated at every Summer Olympic games between 1948 and 2008 except for the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montréal. Guyana declared independence from the British Empire in 1966, and participated in all previous games (from 1948 to 1964) under its colonial name, British Guiana. Overall, Guyana's appearance in Beijing marked its fifteenth Olympic appearance. The country has not sent delegations to participate in any Winter Games.
In all of its history, the only case in which a Guyanese athlete has medaled at the Olympics was when Michael Anthony won a bronze medal at the 1980 Summer Olympics in the Soviet Union. The size of Guyana's delegation peaked at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles when it sent ten athletes, but (as of Beijing) had never risen past seven athletes other than in the 1980s. In Beijing, swimmer Niall Roberts bore Guyana's flag at the ceremonies.
A total of ten people constituted the Guyanese delegation to Beijing: the four Olympic athletes, two Youth Olympic athletes (sprinter Alika Morgan and cyclist Geron Williams), chef-de-mission Noel Adonis, swimming coach Stephanie Fraser, track and field team manager Cornel Rose, and track and field coach Joseph Ryan. Six of the delegation's members were based in Guyana and departed from their nation on 2 August 2008 for Beijing.
Athletics

1209183 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colobinae | Colobinae | The Colobinae or leaf-eating monkeys are a subfamily of the Old World monkey family that includes 61 species in 11 genera, including the black-and-white colobus, the large-nosed proboscis monkey, and the gray langurs. Some classifications split the colobine monkeys into two tribes, while others split them into three groups. Both classifications put the three African genera Colobus, Piliocolobus, and Procolobus in one group; these genera are distinct in that they have stub thumbs (Greek κολοβός kolobós = "docked"). The various Asian genera are placed into another one or two groups. Analysis of mtDNA confirms the Asian species form two distinct groups, one of langurs and the other of the "odd-nosed" species, but are inconsistent as to the relationships of the gray langurs; some studies suggest that the gray langurs are not closely related to either of these groups, while others place them firmly within the langur group.
Characteristics
Colobines are medium-sized primates with long tails (except for the pig-tailed langur) and diverse colorations. The coloring of nearly all young animals differs remarkably from that of the adults.
Most species are arboreal, although some live a more terrestrial life. They are found in many different habitats of different climate zones (rainforests, mangroves, mountain forests, and savannah), but not in deserts and other dry areas. They live in groups, but in different group forms.
Colobines are folivorous, though their diet may be supplemented with flowers, fruits and the occasional insect. To aid in digestion, particularly of hard-to-digest leaves, they have multichambered, complex stomachs, making them the only primates with foregut fermentation. Foregut fermenters use bacteria to detoxify plant compounds before reaching the intestine, where toxins can be absorbed. Foregut fermentation is also associated with higher protein extraction and efficient digestion of fiber; it is the dominant form of digestions in diverse herbivore taxa, including most Artiodactyla (e.g., deer, cattle, antelope), sloths, and kangaroos. In contrast, lower diversity howler monkeys in the New World rely on hindgut fermentation – occurring lower in the colon or cecum – much like horses and elephants. Unlike the other subfamily of Old World monkeys, the Cercopithecinae, they do not possess cheek pouches.
Gestation averages six to seven months. Young are weaned at about one year and are mature at three to six years. Their life expectancy is approximately 20 years.
Classification
Colobinae is split into two tribes, Colobina, found in Africa and Presbytina, found in Asia. Based on fossil records, the tribes split between 10 and 13 million years ago. The Colobina tribe contains three genera, black-and-white colobuses, red colobuses, and the olive colobus, all of whom are found in Africa. The Asian Presbytina comprises seven genera split into two clades, the odd-nosed group and the langur group.

History
The building, located on Lowside, Bowness, dates from around 1650.
Thomas Longmire, a noted wrestler of his era, was landlord of the inn between 1852 and 1862.
The New Hall Inn gained its pub licence in 1866.
The New Hall Inn was acquired by John Booth of the Old Brewery, Ulverston, in 1880, and numerous changes to the pub were made.
The pub was one of the largest in Bowness by 1890, by which time it was known locally as the "Hole in the Wall", or "Hole in t'Wall" in regional dialect. The origin of the name is not entirely certain; there may have been in a literal hole in the wall of the building to pass drinks to the neighbouring blacksmith and ostlers.
The inn was the oldest licensed house in Bowness by 1907, and appealed to a working class clientele, particularly boatmen.
A 1931 account describes the pub as a place where dominoes and darts could be played, and where mild beer was served.
The building gained its Grade II listing in 1973.
Robinsons Brewery acquired the pub in 1982.

2220518 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Les%20Tuniques%20Bleues | Les Tuniques Bleues | Les Tuniques Bleues (Dutch: De Blauwbloezen) is a Belgian series of bandes dessinées (comic books in the Franco-Belgian tradition), first published in Spirou magazine and later collected in albums by Dupuis. Created by artist Louis Salvérius and writer Raoul Cauvin, the series was taken up by artist Lambil after Salverius' death. It follows two United States cavalrymen through a series of battles and adventures. The first album of the series was published in 1970. The series' name, Les Tuniques Bleues, literally "the bluecoats", refers to the Northern (union) army during the American Civil War. Cinebook has started to print the comics in English as "The Bluecoats" releasing Robertsonville Prison in 2008. It is one of the best-selling series in French-language comics.
History
Cauvin has written the stories for the first 64 volumes.
Six of the first ten volumes were illustrated by Louis Salverius, with Lambil taking over after Salverius' death.
The first book, (French for “A Wagon in the West”), was published in 1972. Cauvin retired from writing the series in 2020, with the reins being taken over by Jose Luis Munuera and the . Their first album (“The Special Correspondent”) is published out of sequence in 2020, as volume 65, while the final album by Cauvin and Lambil is released the following year as volume 64, titled (“Where is Arabesque?”).
The stories appear first in Spirou, before being published as an album. The French editions are published by Dupuis. New albums are among the top ten best selling comics in French each year, with 184,800 copies for the 50th album alone in 2006. spawned a 1989 computer game called North and South.
Plot
The original setting was the frontier of the Old West, where the main characters were American cavalrymen. Those stories, rarely longer than a single page, were comedic adventures about popular Western stereotypes and the absurdity of military life. One recurring feature was the blunder that led to the Cavalry fort being besieged by outraged Native Americans, or in one case, the cavalry having to besiege their own fort after the Indians have tricked them into leaving it and taken over. As the series progressed, the stories became longer and more involved, retaining their humorous highlights. The drawing style also changed, after the death of the original artist Salverius, from overtly cartoonish to semi-realistic.
In the second album, Du Nord au Sud, the main characters, Blutch and Chesterfield, travel east to join Ulysses S. Grant's army and fight in the American Civil War. The 18th album, Blue Retro, describes how the characters were first drafted into the military when the war had already begun and makes no mention of the time they spent on the frontier, contradicting the events in album 2 and others. This retconned origin and continuity hiccups are not detrimental to the enjoyment and understanding of the series since each album is a stand-alone adventure or collection of short stories. Adventures at the frontier fort still occasionally take place.
The two main protagonists are colorful and clashing opposites. Corporal Blutch is a reluctant soldier, highly critical of authority, whose only wish is to get out of the army and return to civilian life, often threatening to desert and coming up with ways to avoid going into yet another senseless battle. Blutch does have a heroic side and will not hesitate to fight against the Confederate troops even to the risk of his own life. Sergeant Cornelius Chesterfield is by contrast a devoted and obedient career soldier, always determined that he and Blutch should be in the thick of the action. He is proud of his scars and dreams of military glory. Though strong and brave to the point of recklessness, he is clumsy and narrow-minded, unable to clearly perceive the madness of the war around him. Though their relationship is often antagonistic, they are comrades for life and have saved each other's lives many times in spite of repeated threats made by both of doing the other in.
Other recurring characters include the somewhat insane, charge-obsessed Captain Stark and the bumbling general staff, headed by the anger-prone General Alexander. Historic figures are also occasionally present in the narrative: alongside General Grant, they include President Abraham Lincoln, Confederate commander Robert E. Lee, and war photographer Mathew Brady. As happens in fiction, especially in bandes dessinées, Blutch and Chesterfield often get sent on special missions which take them all over the map, from Mexico to Canada, and mix them up in projects from railroad construction to spying on the Confederacy's secret submarine project (based on the actual CSS David). Many albums are built around historical events or characters such as Chinese immigrant labor, the treatment of African American soldiers, Charleston's submarines, and General Lee's horse Traveller. Chesterfield even goes undercover to confront guerrilla leader William Quantrill and his henchmen Jesse and Frank James. On another occasion they had to contend with a racist officer, Captain Nepel, based on the French politician Jean-Marie Le Pen.
Historical details are generally quite exact, and accuracy has steadily improved over the years. Yet the series is first and foremost entertainment and historic details are altered to suit the story. The serious drama of the plots is balanced by frequent humorous incidents and Blutch's constant sarcastic wisecracks. Although this is not strictly speaking an adult-oriented bande dessinée, the authors are not afraid of showing the reality of war in a harsh, but tactful manner, such as dead bodies in the aftermath of a battle. Military authority, especially the uncaring and/or incompetent leader is often the subject of parody and derision.

Historical correlations
Several albums highlight historical facts of the American Civil War, other adventures are set in a place or anonymous battle. Some accounts tell of an encounter with a Native American tribe without any relation to the American Civil War. However, the chronology of the albums does not follow that of the war, but several albums are in flashback, tracing the past of the two protagonists, possibly narrated by one of them (Bull Run) or another character (Vertes Années).

Synopsis
The story follows Stephen, a young aspiring songwriter, as he composes what he hopes will become a hit musical.
His imagination takes him back to 1947 as he creates a story surrounding an ambitious young singer Lola la Mar who arrives in New York City from Tulsa hoping to become a star. Meanwhile, Tony Forte, a 1947 incarnation of Stephen, is attempting to make it as a songwriter while tending bar at the famous Copacabana Nightclub. Tony instantly falls for Lola as she wanders into the Copacabana. He, along with former "Copa Girl" Gladys, introduce her to the owner of the club Sam Silver, to get her a job as a new Copa Girl. The two try to make it in New York in their respective fields, but do not find it easy. After Tony helps Lola improve a song written by her former music teacher, Sam gives her a job as a Copa Girl at his club. The two fall in love, as Tony writes a song for Lola as she listens.
Stephen's voice can be heard narrating the events as Rico Castelli, an Italian gangster from Cuba, enters the Copacabana with the now-waning star Conchita Alvarez. Sam confronts Rico about the disappearance of Copa Girls each time he comes to the club, and demands he leave. However, Rico, armed with thugs, is able to stay long enough to meet and develop an interest in Lola la Mar. He drugs her and flies her back to Havana, Cuba, to star in his own nightclub -the Tropicana.
In Havana, Rico informs Conchita that she will be replaced by a new, younger actress: Lola. Conchita, frustrated and upset, goes to Lola in order to "welcome" her. Back at the Copacabana, Tony, Sam, and Gladys learn that Lola was kidnapped and taken to Cuba. Tony immediately heads to save her, and Sam, after some convincing from Gladys, agrees to help him. Conchita, initially intending to threaten Lola, finds that she is truly a victim, and instead treats her with sympathy. Stephen can be seen again, this time expressing his love for the troubled Lola, while also sharing his lament for she is merely a figment of his imagination.
Tony and Sam, now in Cuba, find Conchita and asks her for her help. She agrees, and pretends to guide Lola to become her replacement, while telling her to play along. Near the end of the Tropicana performance of "El Bravo", Tony runs on stage, reunited with Lola once again. However, Rico is close behind, waving a gun, and points the barrel at Tony. A single gunshot is heard, and Rico falls to the floor. Conchita, saving Tony and Lola from the perils she faced for years, shot her love Rico to his death.
Tony and Lola are finally reunited and go back happily to the Copacabana.
Back in the present, Stephen has finished his song. His wife, Samantha, is urging him to dress for their anniversary dinner. Stephen realizes that Lola was simply an incarnation of his wife, and finds he has a new sense of love for her. Her parents, who were the base for the characters Sam and Gladys, also appear, and he realizes his imagination had simply morphed reality into something a bit more elaborate.

28633726 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thilo%20Sarrazin | Thilo Sarrazin | Thilo Sarrazin (born 12 February 1945) is a German politician and former member of the SPD, writer, senator of finance for the State of Berlin from January 2002 until April 2009, former member of the Executive Board of the Deutsche Bundesbank until 2010.
He became well known after publishing a controversial book about Muslim immigrants in Germany in 2010. In his book Deutschland schafft sich ab (Germany Is Doing Away With Itself), he denounces what he sees as the failure of Germany's post-war immigration policy, sparking a nationwide controversy about the costs and benefits of multiculturalism. As a result, he is no longer a member of the SPD as of 31 July 2020.
Life
Early life and education
Sarrazin was born in Gera, Germany. His father was a doctor and his mother was the daughter of a West Prussian landowner. His paternal ancestors were French Huguenots who originated in Burgundy, while his grandmother was English and another ancestor was Italian. He has explained that his name means Saracen (i.e. Muslim) and is common in Southern France: "It is derived from the Arab pirates that were called 'Saracens' in the Middle Ages". He has referred to himself as "a European mongrel".
He grew up in Recklinghausen where he graduated from the local gymnasium after which he did his military service. From 1967 to 1971, he studied economics at the University of Bonn, earning his doctorate. From November 1973 to December 1974 he worked for the Friedrich Ebert Foundation and became active in the SPD.
Career as civil servant
In 1975 Sarrazin began working in the Federal Ministry of Finance. Until 1981 he served as a department head in the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs and from 1981 he returned to the Federal Ministry of Finance. From October 1981 he served as bureau chief and was a close collaborator of Federal Finance Minister Hans Matthöfer and his successor Manfred Lahnstein. Even after the end of the socialist-liberal coalition in October 1982, Sarrazin remained in the Finance Ministry, where he was director of several units, including (from 1989 to 1990) the "Innerdeutsche Beziehungen," which prepared the German monetary, economic and social union. During his time as Head of the Federal Ministry of Finance, he was partly responsible for German railways.
From 1990 to 1991 Sarrazin worked for the Treuhand. Up to 1997, he was State Secretary in the Ministry of Finance in Rhineland-Palatinate. Subsequently, he was chief executive of TLG Immobilien (TLG).

Between spring 2000 and December 2001 he was employed by the Deutsche Bahn, the German national railway. During his first four months he served as head of internal auditing; from 1 September 2000 he was on the board of DB Netz, responsible for planning and investment.
Sarrazin is considered a key developer of the people's share model of the German railway, which provides for the issue of non-voting preferred stock to limit the influence of private investors. He claims to have made this proposal to thwart the model of capital privatization of Deutsche Bahn. He is regarded as an explicit supporter of orienting the Deutsche Bahn on the principles of efficiency under a cost-effectiveness analysis. His relationship with the former CEO of Deutsche Bahn AG, Hartmut Mehdorn, is characterized as hostile.
Sarrazin's dismissal from the board of DB Netz AG was followed by legal disputes. He drew his salary for a transitional period during which the details of the separation procedures were regulated. According to Hartmut Mehdorn, Sarrazin broke his contract with the company, which stated that secondary activities are not allowed. The employment contract was subsequently terminated without notice by the DB. Sarrazin sued, but the case was dismissed by the Federal Court.
Finance Senator
Sarrazin was appointed Finance Senator to the Senate of Berlin in January 2002. He adhered to financial policy based on strict savings and a single-entry bookkeeping system for the management of local authorities.
As a result of his remarks on Berlin's social and educational reputation some consider Sarrazin being an agitator. His proposals for cutting social benefits were often accompanied by protests. In 2008 he made suggestions, such as that a beneficiary of ALG II could eat for less than €4 per day. In 2009 he said of unemployed persons' management of energy: "First, Hartz IV receivers are more at home, second, they like it warm, and thirdly, many regulate the temperature with the window," in light of the fact that in Germany, the unemployed do not pay for rent and heating themselves. Sarrazin called pension increases "completely senseless action", but instead recommended that the government prepare older citizens for a "long term decline to the level of subsistence."
In the political controversy surrounding the Berlin event center Tempodrom he was accused of having awarded state funds irregularly. The preliminary investigation was also against two other SPD-CDU politicians, three companies and two accountants. The investigating prosecutor filed an informal appeal against Sarrazin, but in December 2004 the Berlin district court rejected a trial because the prosecution was seen as ineffective.
In August 2009, Berlin's public prosecutor conducted an investigation of Sarrazin for embezzlement. According to the office of the prosecutor, he favored the Berlin-Wannsee Golf and Country Club, leasing a golf course to them at a reduced rate. Sarrazin dismissed the accusations on the grounds that he saw no financial loss for the city.
Deutsche Bundesbank
On April 30, 2009, Sarrazin resigned from his position as senator as he was appointed to join the executive board of the Bundesbank. From May 1, 2010 until September 1, 2010, his responsibilities at the Bundesbank included information technology, risk monitoring and review. On September 2, 2010, he was released from specific responsibilities in a move by the other board members to have him removed as executive board member following a controversial statement made by Sarrazin about Jewish genetics. Whether Sarrazin should keep his job at the Bundesbank or be dismissed was to be reviewed by then Federal President Christian Wulff. However, on September 9, 2010, Dr. Sarrazin asked the President to relieve him of his duties as a board member.
Party membership
The party leadership of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) announced in August 2010 that it would investigate whether to terminate Sarrazin's membership, because his theses could be understood as diametrically opposed to basic social-democratic values.
An arbitration committee, meeting in Berlin on 21 April 2011, decided that Sarrazin could remain a member of the party. The formal accusation that he had damaged the party with his theories could not be upheld, in particular because Sarrazin read a statement in which he said he had never intended to depart from social democratic values and that he had never intended to suggest that social-Darwinist theories should be implemented in political practice. This in turn led to dissatisfaction among many SPD party leaders.
The SPD opened a third proceeding in order to revoke Sarrazin's membership after he published his book "Hostile takeover – how Islam impairs progress and threatens society". The arbitration committee of the concerned SPD district chapter, Berlin Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, accepted the motion of the SPD leadership. Sarrazin and his lawyers stated that they did not accept and sought to appeal the decision.
Personal life
Sarrazin is married to Ursula Sarrazin (née Breit) and has two sons. His apparent characteristic smirk is due to an operation he had in 2004 to remove a tumour on an inner ear nerve, resulting in an impairment of the right side of his face.
Views
Immigration, Islam and social welfare
Sarrazin advocates a restrictive immigration policy with the exception of the highly skilled and the reduction of state welfare benefits. In September 2009, his views on economic and immigration policy in Berlin were published in Lettre International, a German cultural quarterly, and caused severe reactions. In it he described many Arab and Turkish immigrants as unwilling to integrate. He said, among other things:
End of August 2010, Sarrazin's book Deutschland schafft sich ab (Germany Is Doing Away With Itself) was published, and within two months, it became the best-selling book on politics by a German-language author in a decade, with overall sales hitting 1.1 million copies and the first editions sold out within a matter of hours or days. In the 13th edition Sarrazin added a foreword commenting on the nationwide debate his book has sparked. As of May 2011, 1.5 million copies had been sold.
In 2010, he was quoted as writing regarding Islam, "No other religion in Europe makes so many demands. No immigrant group other than Muslims is so strongly connected with claims on the welfare state and crime. No group emphasizes their differences so strongly in public, especially through women's clothing. In no other religion is the transition to violence, dictatorship and terrorism so fluid."
In 2010, Sarrazin's book came under criticism for claiming that Germany's immigrant Muslim population is reluctant to integrate and tends to rely more on social services than to be productive. Moreover, he calculated that their population growth may well overwhelm the German population within a couple of generations at the current rate, and that their intelligence was lower. He proposed stringent reforms for the welfare system to rectify the problems. The first edition of his book sold out within a few days. By the end of the year, the book had become Germany's number 1 hard-cover non-fiction bestseller for the year and was still at the top of the lists.
Genetics
In 2010, an uproar was caused at an interview with Welt am Sonntag in which he claimed that "all Jews share a certain gene like all Basques share a certain gene that distinguishes these from other people." He subsequently offered his regrets for the irritation caused, and explained his source, for instance, in the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, referring to international media reports, on a 2010 study by Gil Atzmon et al. that appeared in the American Journal of Human Genetics.
In 2018, Sarrazin's statements were criticized by the chairman of the Interior Committee of the German Bundestag, Sebastian Edathy (SPD), the United Services trade union and the political scientist Gerd Wiegel. The Central Council of Jews in Germany strongly criticized Sarrazin, condemning him as racist. Sigmar Gabriel, the General Secretary of the SPD, condemned Sarrazin for his eugenic approach.
Reception
A Berliner Morgenpost poll suggested that almost half of the German population agree with Sarrazin's political views and 18 percent would vote for his party if he started one. In a survey conducted for the Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper among 10,000 Sarrazin readers, an overwhelming majority was shown to be male, middle-class, middle-aged to elderly, conservatives.
The German-Turkish sociologist and best-selling author Necla Kelek, who has defended Sarrazin, introduced him at a Berlin press conference in August 2010 attended by roughly 300 journalists. While Turkish and Islamic organizations have accused Sarrazin of racism and damaging Germany's reputation abroad, Kelek said Sarrazin addressed "bitter truths" in his book and the chattering classes judged it without reading it.
The new terror of virtue
The publication of his book "Deutschland schafft sich ab" provoked accusations that Sarrazin was stoking racism and xenophobia. This harsh criticism inspired Sarrazin to write "Der neue Tugendterror - Über die Grenzen der Meinungsfreiheit in Deutschland" (The new terror of virtue - on the limits of freedom of opinion in Germany) on the topics of the mechanics of political correctness, prejudice and the political climate in Germany, as he explains in the second chapter of this book, titled "Wie ich mit der Meinungsherrschaft in Konflikt kam: Eine Fallstudie" ("How I got into conflict with the rule of opinion: a case study"). "I had expected a controversial discussion. But nothing had prepared me for the public storm that broke loose upon publication. I was accused of advocating biological determinism and labelled a social Darwinist, a racist, and an enemy of the people and of social justice."

Steenkamp is a right-handed batsman who fields as a wicket-keeper. He played five matches in the Under-19 World Cup of February 2006, during which he top-scored with 17.
In August 2007, Steenkamp was a part of the Namibia Under-19 squad which won the Africa Under-19 Championship, during which he scored a then career-best 82 not out against Kenya.
Generally speaking, he occupies the middle order, letting the Namibian youth team ride on his wicket-keeping rather than trying his hand at bowling. Steenkamp made his debut for the Namibia A team in 2007, though he was neither called up to bat or bowl, and took no catches from behind the stumps. Steenkamp's debut first-class appearance came in the South African Airways Provincial Challenge against Griqualand West in November 2007. Despite not making any first-class appearances in 2008-09, Steenkamp made his debut first-class half-century in 2009-10.

2888120 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy%20of%20Medical%20Sciences%20%28United%20Kingdom%29 | Academy of Medical Sciences (United Kingdom) | The Academy of Medical Sciences is an organisation established in the UK in 1998. It is one of the four UK National Academies, the others being the British Academy, the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Society.
Its mission is to advance biomedical and health research and its translation into benefits for society. The academy consists of a group of around 1200 Fellows elected from fields across the biomedical sciences. The academy seeks ultimately to advance medical science and improve health by investing in talented researchers, engaging people on health-related issues and providing expert impartial advice. its president is Dame Anne Johnson.
History
The academy was established in 1998 following the recommendations of a working group chaired by Michael Atiyah, former president of the Royal Society. A single national organisation was formed to support biomedical scientists and clinical academics working together to promote advances in medical science. It is one of the four learned academies in the United Kingdom, with the Royal Society, Royal Academy of Engineering and British Academy. The intention of the founders was to create a national resource outside the framework of Government, with the expertise and authority to deal with scientific and societal aspects of public policy issues in healthcare.
The formation of the academy occurred against a backdrop of increasing fragmentation and specialisation within the medical profession. The academy merged with the Novartis Foundation in 2008, and moved to a dedicated headquarters building at 41 Portland Place in October 2010. This building provides office space for its 39 members of staff, and has rooms for events and conferences.
Activities
Policy
Areas of policy work originate from within the Academy Council and wider Fellowship, and in response to consultations from the government, Parliament and other relevant bodies. work included reports on improving public health by 2040, using animals in research, diabetes and obesity, the use of data in medical research and the use of non-human primates in research.
Careers
The academy's National Mentoring and Outreach Scheme was established in 2002 and is supported by the UK Department of Health, the National Institute for Health Research and NHS Education for Scotland. The programme provides one-to-one mentoring by Academy Fellows for Clinical Lecturers and Clinician Scientist Fellows. It also offers activities for Academic Clinical Fellows, Clinical Training Fellows and MB PhD students.
Grants
The academy's funding schemes focus on areas of specific and specialist need, addressing perceived shortages within key speciality areas, and international collaboration. Schemes include Clinician Scientist Fellowships, Starter Grants for Clinical Lecturers and UK/Middle East Exchange Fellowships.
Public engagement and dialogue
The academy's public events demonstrate recent research and provide a platform for discussion of the latest science.
Linking academia and industry
The academy's FORUM brings together biomedical scientists from academia and industry. As well as hosting its own conferences and events the academy has made its headquarters at 41 Portland Place available on a private hire basis for industry and commercial events and conferences.
Fellowship
, the academy has around 1200 Fellows drawn from fundamental biological sciences, clinical academic medicine, public and population health, health technology implementation, veterinary science, dentistry, medical and nursing care and other professions allied to medical science as well as the basic fundamental mathematics, chemistry, physics, engineering, ethics, social science and the law. The Fellowship represents a national resource in medical science, offering their time and expertise to support the academy's work.
Up to 48 new Fellows are elected to the academy each year. Eight Sectional Committees spanning the range of medical sciences scrutinise candidates and make recommendations to Council for election. Becoming a Fellow indicates that the academy judges individuals to have made "outstanding contributions...to the progress of medical science and the development of better healthcare". Election is often described as "prestigious".
Honorary Fellows include:
Chen Zhu Minister of Health, Ministry of Health, China;
Sydney Brenner, Distinguished Professor, Salk Institute;
François Gros, Permanent Secretary of ‘Académie des Sciences’, Institut de France;
William Castell LVO FCA, President & CEO, GE Healthcare;
Professor Françoise Barré-Sinoussi Director, Unité de Régulation des Infections Rétrovirales, Institut Pasteur and Nobel Laureate;
Sir Andrew Witty Chief Executive Officer, GSK.
Some of its members are retired and are no longer active in research.

44867547 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men%20of%20the%20Docks | Men of the Docks | Men of the Docks is an oil painting on canvas completed by the American artist George Bellows in 1912. Depicting the docks of New York City, this painting was sold to the National Gallery in London in 2014 for $25.5 million.
Description
Men of the Docks is a oil painting on canvas. It depicts a group of men, wearing overcoats smeared in grime, standing at a dock in Brooklyn together with some draft horses. These men appear to be day laborers, at the docks to find work. They look to the left, as if receiving a message, while a large steam liner looms over them to their right. Behind them are a tugboat and the waters and ice floes of the harbor in winter. Further behind them are the skyscrapers of the lower Manhattan skyline. The winter weather about them is bleak and gray.
A writer for The Craftsman considered Men of the Docks to be "free of affectation of soul or technique", presenting a situation of solidity the way a normal man would see it, thus holding onto the scene through reality. However, the art critics Robert W. Snyder and Rebecca Zurier consider the painting to leave viewers in suspense as to the exact nature of the message received by this group of men, whether it is news that no work is available or notice that the men can begin their labor. This tension, they write, paired with the juxtaposition of the skyline and harbor (almost hidden from land), emphasizes the precariousness of the laborers' situation.
Completion
The artist, George Bellows, arrived in New York City in 1904. He completed Men of the Docks in 1912. At the time the Ashcan School, a group of painters who focused on the daily life in New York, was prominent. Bellows, and Men of the Docks, has been considered part of this movement.
In the early 20th century, day laborers in the New York docks worked depending on the availability of ships to unload, and thus when not working they often stood nearby, waiting for news that there was work. This subject of men at the New York docks was a common one for Bellows, as well as fellow Ashcan painters such as Everett Shinn. Men of the Docks is the largest example of Bellows' treatment of the subject.
Provenance
Men of the Docks was exhibited at the Vanderbilt Gallery of the National Academy of Design in 1912, as well as Cornell University. Bellows again exhibited the work at the Panama–Pacific International Exposition of 1915, winning a gold medal. The painting was purchased for the Maier Museum of Art at Randolph Macon Woman's College in Lynchburg, Virginia, in 1920; at the time, the college was one of the foremost for women intent on studying art. At the recommendation of Professor Louise Jordan Smith, students and locals raised $2,500 to purchase the work. Beginning with this painting, the Maier collection eventually grew to include 3,500 works.
After the 1980s, Randolph College faced decreasing enrollment and financial difficulties. As such, in 2007 it decided to sell four of its works – including Men of the Docks. All of these works were taken from the Maier Museum in late 2007. Bellows' painting was scheduled to be auctioned at Christie's in New York, and expected to sell for $25–35 million. This would have been a record for an American painting sold at auction. However, this prospective sale faced controversy at the college. Students made "Missing" posters overlaid showing photocopies of Men of the Docks and the three other paintings which were to be sold.
A lawsuit against the sale continued over the next several years, with detractors including the Association of Academic Museums and Galleries, the College Art Association, and the Association of Art Museum Directors. As the art market deflated, a Virginia judge blocked the sale in November 2007, but in March 2008 opponents of the sale had to drop their suit as they were unable to post the $1 million bond required of them. In 2012 the painting was lent to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., to be included in a comprehensive exhibition of Bellow's career. This exhibition later continued on to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, and the Royal Academy of Arts in London.
Ultimately, Men of the Docks was bought by the National Gallery in London in February 2014 for a total of $25.5 million (£15.6 million). The money was acquired from a fund established by Sir John Paul Getty. Director Nicholas Penny, said that the painting was a new direction for the gallery, as a non-European painting in a European style. The museum also touted a “new, transatlantic academic partnership, the first of its kind between an American college and a UK gallery” established by the sale, in which curators could lecture at Randolph and students of the college could do their internships at the National Gallery.
In response to the sale, the College Art Association stated that Randolph had "compromised the educational and cultural mission of the museum" by selling art to increase its coffers, rather than to purchase further art. In protest, both the Indianapolis Museum of Art and Tacoma Art Museum cancelled plans to borrow a Georgia O'Keeffe work. College president Bradley W. Bateman defended the sale by saying that the college was "a college, not a museum", and thus not bound to follow guidelines established for museums. He further argued that Randolph's priority was to ensure quality education for its students, and that the $25.5 million for the painting was a "considerable" addition to the college's endowment of $136 million. At the time of the sale, Randolph had already sold another of its works, Rufino Tamayo's Troubador.
Men of the Docks was the first major American painting acquired by the gallery, and the second painting by Bellows to be publicly owned in Europe. After its acquisition, Men of the Docks was hung in Room 43 of the National Gallery, between works by such European artists as Claude Monet and Camille Pissarro. The painting, with the accession number of NG6649, hangs in Room 45 .
Reception
Critic Charles Henry Meltzer, reviewing after the National Academy exhibition, described Men of the Docks as "irritating ... yet full of talent" owing to its "deliberate carelessness" in the drawing of the crowd, which he found to have character. The writer for The Craftsman found the painting to be "an important painting of the year", "a freshly painted canvas ... presented with the thrill and wonder inherent in the edges of great seaport towns".
Marc Porter of Christie's described Men of the Docks as "the definitive essay on the U.S. in the first half of the 20th century. It’s big, brawny, tough." Alan Franham of Forbes called it "a class by itself", noting that, as opposed to the work's value of millions of dollars, prints by the artist could be bought for $50,000. The curator Christopher Riopelle considers the painting to "evoke something of the raw and unbeautiful energy of the urban experience in what was at the time one of the world's fastest-growing cities" through its "wilful awkwardness and brutality".

23307031 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas%20SASSTO | Douglas SASSTO | Douglas Aircraft's SASSTO, short for "Saturn Application Single Stage to Orbit", was a single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) reusable launch system designed by Philip Bono's team in 1967. SASSTO was a study in minimalist designs, a launcher with the specific intent of repeatedly placing a Gemini capsule in orbit for the lowest possible cost. The SASSTO booster was based on the layout of the S-IVB upper stage from the Saturn family, modified with a plug nozzle. Although the SASSTO design was never followed up at Douglas, it is widely referred to in newer studies for SSTO launchers, notably the MBB "Beta" (Ballistisches Einstufiges Träger-Aggregat) design, which was largely an updated version of SASSTO.
History
In 1962 NASA sent out a series of studies on post-Apollo launch needs, which generally assumed very large launchers for a manned mission to Mars. At Douglas, makers of the S-IVB, Philip Bono led a team that studied a number of very large liquid-fueled boosters as a way to lower the cost of space exploration. His designs were based on an economy of scale which makes larger rockets more economical than smaller ones as the structure accounts for less and less of the overall weight of the launcher. At some point the dry weight of the launcher becomes lower than the payload it can launch, after which increases in payload fraction are essentially free. However, this point is crossed at relatively large vehicle sizes - Bono's original OOST study from 1963 was over long - and this path to lower costs only makes sense if there is an enormous amount of payload that needs to be launched.
After designing a number of such vehicles, including ROOST and the ROMBUS/Ithacus/Pegasus series, Bono noticed that the S-IVB stage, then just starting to be used operationally, was very close to being able to reach orbit on its own if launched from the ground. Intrigued, Bono started looking at what missions a small S-IVB-based SSTO could accomplish, realizing that it would be able to launch a manned Gemini capsule if it was equipped with some upgrades, notably an aerospike engine that would improve the specific impulse and provide altitude compensation. He called the design "SASSTO", short for "Saturn Application Single-Stage To Orbit".
These same upgrades would also have the side-effect of lowering the weight of the SASSTO compared to the original S-IVB, while at the same time increasing its performance. Thus the study also outlined a number of ways that it could be used in place of the S-IV in existing Saturn IB and Saturn V stacks, increasing their performance. When used with the existing Saturn I lower stage, it would improve payload to low Earth orbit from 35,000 to , or if the landing gear were removed and it was expended like the S-IVB. SASSTO would thus give NASA a short-term inexpensive manned launch capability, while also offering improved heavy-launch capability on the existing Saturn infrastructure.
SASSTO required a number of new technologies, however, which made development risky. In particular, the performance of the aerospike engine had to be considerably higher than the J-2 it would replace, yet also offer the ability to be restarted multiple times as the single engine was used for launch, de-orbit and landing. Of particular note was the final landing burn, which required the engines to be restarted at during the descent. The vehicle's weight was also greatly reduced, almost by half, which would not have been trivial considering the relatively good performance of the S-IVB design.
Design
Although the SASSTO claimed the S-IVB as its starting point, this was a conceit, and the vehicle had little in common with the S-IVB except its size.
The internal fuel tankage was considerably different from in the S-IV. The LH2 was no longer cylindrical, but spherical, and moved to the forward location in the fuselage. The LOX tankage, originally on top of the LH2, was re-positioned into a series of smaller spherical tanks arranged in a ring below the LH2. The tanks were all moved forward within the airframe compared to the engine, all of these changes being made in order to reduce changes in the center of gravity as the fuel was burned off. The fuselage section immediately above the engine was necked down, forming what appeared to be a larger single plug. The upper section of the fuselage, over the top of the hydrogen tank, was likewise necked down.
In order to increase the amount of LH2 being carried, given the fixed dimensions, SASSTO proposed freezing 50% of the fuel to produce a slush hydrogen mixture. This improvement was not uncommon in designs of the era, although it was not until the 1990s that any serious development work on the concept was carried out.
The rearmost portion of the spacecraft was a single large plug nozzle, fed by a series of 36 injectors operating at 1500 psia, producing of thrust. Since plug nozzles gain efficiency as they grow larger, the 465 sec specific impulse (compared to the J-2's 425) was not particularly aggressive. The engine also served as the primary heat shield, actively cooled by liquid hydrogen that was then dumped overboard.
Four landing legs extended from fairings on the fuselage sides, retracting to a point about even with the "active" portion of the engine area. Four clusters of small maneuvering engines were located between the legs, about half-way from front to back along the fuselage. A series of six smaller tanks arranged in the gaps between the LOX and LH2 tanks fed the maneuvering engines.
SASSTO delivered of cargo to a orbit when launched due east from the Kennedy Space Center. Empty weight was , considerably lighter than the S-IVB's , and gross lift off weight was . The typical payload was the Gemini, which was covered with a large aerodynamic fairing.
Re-entry maneuverability was through a blunt-body lifting profile, similar to the Apollo CSM. The cross-range was limited, about , and there was basically no maneuverability at all on final approach. There was enough fuel for about 10 seconds of hovering and small maneuvers to select a flat landing spot. Because SASSTO was the same basic size as the S-IVB, Douglas proposed transporting it in the existing Aero Spacelines Super Guppy after landing at either Wendover Air Force Base in Utah, or Fort Bliss outside El Paso, Texas.
Developments
Dietrich Koelle used SASSTO as the starting point for a similar development at Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm in the late 1960s. Unlike Bono's version, Koelle used as much existing technology and materials as possible, while abandoning the need for the specific S-IVB sizing. The result was a slightly larger spacecraft, the Beta, that launched of payload without the use of slush fuel, advanced lightweight construction, or a real aerospike engine. As part of the Beta proposal, Koelle pointed out that even the existing S-IVB could reach orbit, with zero payload, if equipped with a high-pressure LOX/LH2 engine of 460 Isp.
Gary Hudson, in 1991, pointed out that such an engine existed, the RS-25, using a RS-25-powered S-IVB as a thought experiment to demonstrate the real-world feasibility of SSTO launchers. This study was part of his "Phoenix" series of launchers, all similar to the SASSTO.

As a student of Vasily Vasiliev at the University of Saint Petersburg he developed an interest in Pali literature and went abroad to prepare a catalogue of Pali manuscripts at the British Museum and the Bibliothèque Nationale (still unpublished). His Russian-language Pali grammar (1872) was soon translated into French (1874) and English (1882).
Minayev's magnum opus, Buddhism: Untersuchungen und Materialien, was printed in 1887. "Minaev was almost the first European orientalist... to feel that the study of Buddhism and Pali was a must for the proper understanding of ancient Indian history and society".
As a member of the Russian Geographical Society he travelled in India and Burma and Nepal in 1874—75, 1880, and 1885—86. His travel journals were published in English in 1958 and 1970.

It was founded in 1600 by Boris Godunov. At first called "Saviour the Old", the monastery gradually acquired its present quaint name which alludes to its location and means "the Saviour behind the icon shops".
In the late 17th century, the monastery's learned administrators such as Symeon of Polotsk and Sylvester Medvedev had it transformed into a hotbed of enlightenment. Between 1687 and 1814, it was home to the Slavic Greek Latin Academy, Russia's first secondary education establishment. There is a memorial plaque in honor of its most famous student, Mikhail Lomonosov. After Lomonosov founded the Moscow University in 1755, the academy declined in importance.
The surviving buildings include the Baroque katholikon of the Holy Mandylion (originally constructed in 1660-1661; rebuilt in 1717–1720 and 1742), several 17th-century chambers as well as a former school building which dates to 1822. After the October Revolution, the monastery's distinctive belltower was pulled down and the remaining buildings were given to the Moscow State Institute for History and Archives.
The Russian Orthodox Church had the Zaikonospassky Monastery reopened in 1992. It has been involved in litigation with the institute's successor over ownership of these assets. In 2014, the belltower was rebuilt to the same design.

34463090 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ensembl%20Genomes | Ensembl Genomes | Ensembl Genomes is a scientific project to provide genome-scale data from non-vertebrate species.
The project is run by the European Bioinformatics Institute, and was launched in 2009 using the Ensembl technology. The main objective of the Ensembl Genomes database is to complement the main Ensembl
database by introducing five additional web pages to include genome data for bacteria, fungi, invertebrate metazoa, plants, and protists. For each of the domains, the Ensembl tools are available for manipulation, analysis and visualization of genome data. Most Ensembl Genomes data is stored in MySQL relational databases and can be accessed by the Ensembl REST interface, the Perl API, Biomart or online.
Ensembl Genomes is an open project, and most of the code, tools, and data are available to the public. Ensembl and Ensembl Genomes software uses an Apache 2.0 license license.
Displaying genomic data
The key feature of Ensembl Genomes is its graphical interface, which allows users to scroll through a genome and observe the relative location of features such as conceptual annotation (e.g. genes, SNP loci), sequence patterns (e.g. repeats) and experimental data (e.g. sequences and external sequence features mapped onto the genome). Graphical views are available for varying levels of resolution from an entire karyotype, down to the sequence of a single exon. Information for a genome is spread over four tabs, a species page, a ‘Location’ tab, a ‘Gene’ tab and a ‘Transcript’ tab, each providing information at a higher resolution.
Searching for a particular species using Ensembl Genomes redirects to the species page. Often, a brief description of the species is provided, as well as links to further information and statistics about the genome, the graphical interface and some of the tools available.
A karyotype is available for some species in Ensembl Genomes. If the karyotype is available there will be a link to it in the Gene Assembly section of the species page. Alternatively if users are in the ‘Location’ tab they can also view the karyotype by selecting ‘Whole genome’ in the left-hand menu. Users can click on a location within the karyotype to zoom in to one specific chromosome or a genomic region. This will open the ‘Location’ Tab.
In the 'Location' tab, users can browse genes, variations, sequence conservation, and other types of annotation along the genome. The 'Region in detail' is highly configurable and scalable, and users can choose what they want to see by clicking on the 'Configure this page' button at the bottom of the left-hand menu. By adding and removing tracks users will be able to select the type of data they want to have included in the displays. Data from the following categories can be easily added or removed from this 'Location' tab view: 'Sequence and assembly', 'Genes and transcripts', 'mRNA and protein alignments', 'Other DNA alignments', 'Germline variation', 'Comparative genomics', among others. Users can also change the display options such as the width. A further option allows users to reset the configuration back to the default settings.
More specific information about a select gene can be found in the ‘Gene’ tab. Users can get to this page by searching for desired gene in the search bar and clicking on the gene ID or by clicking on one of the genes shown in the ‘Location’ tab view. The ‘Gene’ tab contains gene-specific information such as gene structure, number of transcripts, position on the chromosome and homology information in the form of gene trees. This information can be accessed via the menu on the left-hand side.
A 'Transcript' tab will also appear when a user chooses to view a gene. The 'Transcript' tab contains much of the same information as the 'Gene' tab, however it is focused on only one transcript.
Tools
Adding Custom tracks to Ensembl Genomes
Ensembl Genomes allows comparing and visualising user data while browsing karyotypes and genes. Most Ensembl Genomes views include an ‘Add your data’ or ‘Manage your data’ button that will allow the user to upload new tracks containing reads or sequences to Ensembl Genomes or to modify data that has been previously uploaded. The uploaded data can be visualised in region views or over the whole karyotype. The uploaded data can be localised using Chromosome Coordinates or BAC Clone Coordinates.
The following methods can be used to upload a data file to any Ensembl Genomes page:
Files smaller than 5 MB can be either uploaded directly from any computer or from a web location (URL) to the Ensembl servers.
Larger files can only be uploaded from web locations (URL).
BAM files can only be uploaded using the URL-based approach. The index file (.bam.bai) should be located in the same webserver.
A Distributed Annotation System source can be attached from web locations.
The following file types are supported by Ensembl Genomes:
BED
BedGraph
Generic
GFF/GTF
PSL
WIG
BAM
BigBed
BigWig
VCF
The data is uploaded temporarily into the servers. Registered users can log in and save their data for future reference. It is possible to share and access the uploaded data using and an assigned URL. Users are also allowed to delete their custom tracks from Ensembl Genomes.
BioMart
BioMart is a programming free search engine incorporated in Ensembl and Ensembl Genomes (except for Ensembl Bacteria) for the purpose of mining and extracting genomic data from the Ensembl databases in table formats like HTML, TSV, CSV or XLS. Release 45 (2019) of Ensembl Genomes has the following data available at the BioMarts:
Ensembl Protists BioMart: includes 33 species and variations for Phytophthora infestans and Phaeodactylum tricornutum
Ensembl Fungi BioMart: includes 56 species and variations for Fusarium graminearum, Fusarium oxysporum, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Puccinia graminis, Verticillium dahliae, Zymoseptoria tritici, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Ensembl Metazoa BioMart: includes 78 species and variations for Aedes aegypti, Anopheles gambiae and Ixodes scapularis
Ensembl Plants: includes 67 species and variations for Arabidopsis thaliana, Brachypodium distachyon, Hordeum vulgare, Oryza glaberrima, Oryza glumipatula, Oryoza sativa indica, Oryza sativa japonica, Solanum lycopersicum, Sorghum bicolor, Triticum aestivum, Vitis vinifera, and Zea mays
The purpose of the BioMarts in Ensembl Genomes is to allow the user to mine and download tables containing all the genes for a single species, genes in a specific region of a chromosome or genes on one region of a chromosome associated with an InterPro domain. The BioMarts also include filters to refine the data to be extracted and the attributes (Variant ID, Chromosome name, Ensembl ID, location, etc.) that will appear in the final table file can be selected by the user.
The BioMarts can be accessed online in each corresponding domain of Ensembl Genomes or the source code can be installed in UNIX environment from the BioMart git repository
BLAST
A BLAST interface is provided to allow users to search for DNA or protein sequences against the Ensembl Genomes. It can be accessed by the header, located on top of all Ensembl Genome pages, titled BLAST. The BLAST search can be configured to search against individual species or collections of species (maximum of 25). There is a taxonomic browser to allow the selection of taxonomically related species.
Sequence Search
Ensembl Genomes provides a second sequence search tool, that uses an algorithm based on Exonerate, that is provided by European Nucleotide Archive. This tool can be accessed by the header, located on top of all Ensembl Genome pages, titled Sequence Search. Users can then choose whether they would like Exonerate to search against all species in the Ensembl Genomes division or against all species in Ensembl Genomes. They can also choose the 'Maximum E-value', which will limit the results that appear to those with E-values below the maximum. Finally users can choose to use an alternative search mode by selecting 'Use spliced query'.
Variant Effect Predictor
The Variant Effect Predictor is one of the most used tools in Ensembl and Ensembl Genomes. It allows to explore and analyse what is the effect that the variants (SNPs, CNVs, indels or structural variations) have on a particular gene, sequence, protein, transcript or transcription factor. To use VEP, the users must input the location of their variants and the nucleotide variations to generate the following results:
Genes and transcripts affected by the variant
Location of the variants
How the variant affects the protein synthesis (e.g. generating a stop codon)
Comparison with other databases to find equal known variants
There are two ways in which the users can access the VEP. The first form is online-based. In this page, the user generates an input by selection the following parameters:
Species to be compared. The default database for comparison is Ensembl Transcripts, but for some species, other sources can be selected.
Name for the uploaded data (this is optional, but it will make easier to identify the data if many VEP jobs have been performed)
Selection of the input format for the data. If an incorrect file format is selected, VEP will throw an error when running.
Fields for data upload. Users can upload data from their computers, from an URL-based location or by copying directly their contents into a text box.
Data upload to VEP supports VCF, pileup, HGVS notations and a default format. The default format is a whitespace-separated file that contains the data in columns. The first five columns indicate the chromosome, start location, end location, allele (pair of alleles separated by a '/', with the reference allele first) and the strand (+ for forward or – for reverse). The sixth column is a variation identifier and it is optional. If it is left in blank, VEP will assign an identifier to in output file.
VEP also provides additional identifier options to the users, extra options to complement the output and filtering. The filtering options allow features like removal of known variants from results, returning variants in exons only, and restriction of results to specific consequences of the variants.
VEP users also have the possibility of viewing and manipulating all the jobs associated with their session by browsing the "Recent Tickets" tab. I this tab the users can view the status of their search (success, queued, running or failed) and save, delete or resubmit jobs.
The second option to use VEP is by downloading the source code for its use in UNIX environments. All the features are equal between the online and script versions. VEP can also be used with online instances like Galaxy.
When a VEP job is completed the output is a tabular file that contains the following columns:
Uploaded variation - as chromosome_start_alleles
Location - in standard coordinate format (chr:start or chr:start-end)
Allele - the variant allele used to calculate the consequence
Gene - Ensembl stable ID of affected gene
Feature - Ensembl stable ID of feature
Feature type - type of feature. Currently one of Transcript, RegulatoryFeature, MotifFeature.
Consequence - consequence type of this variation
Position in cDNA - relative position of base pair in cDNA sequence
Position in CDS - relative position of base pair in coding sequence
Position in protein - relative position of amino acid in protein
Amino acid change - only given if the variation affects the protein-coding sequence
Codon change - the alternative codons with the variant base in upper case
Co-located variation - known identifier of existing variation
Extra - this column contains extra information as key=value pairs separated by ";". Displays extra identifiers.
Other common output formats for VEP include JSON and VDF formats.
Programmatic data access
The Ensembl Genomes [REST] interface allows access to the data using your favourite programming language.
You can also access data using the Perl API and Biomart.

3108166 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HotelF1 | HotelF1 | HotelF1 (stylised hotelF1; formerly Formule 1) is a French economy hotel brand owned by Accor. Created by Accor in 1984 in France under the name Formule 1, it was renamed HotelF1 in 2007 and later revamped as a road trip-themed hotel brand. HotelF1 manages 172 hotels in France (2018).
History
1984: Formule 1
After the successful launch of the ibis brand positioned a notch below the midscale Novotel, the group Accor reiterated its strategy in 1984 with the creation of Formule 1, an economy hotel brand positioned a notch under ibis and that was opened its first location in 1985. The Formule 1 hotels were low-key lodging with the essential collective commodities and no on-site restaurant.
The construction process of Formule 1 hotels was completely industrialized and standardized, allowing Accor to open one location every week. In the early 1990s, the engineering techniques of Formule 1 inspired the group Accor to launch another economy brand, Etap Hôtel (now ibis budget). In the late 1990s, the construction techniques of Formule 1 were also adopted by Accor's other economy brand, ibis.
In 1997, Formule 1 occupied 39% of the super-economy hotel market in France. From 1985 to 2005, 100 million customers stayed in Formule 1 hotels.
2007: HotelF1
In 2007, Formule 1 was rebranded as HotelF1. In September 2009, Accor announced the sale of 158 HotelF1 hotels in a €272-million sale and management-back deal.
In 2012, following a new hotel star-rating system in France, HotelF1 became a one-star hotel brand.
In 2017, Accor announced a new branding strategy and refurbishment program for HotelF1. Shared rooms with a per-bed pricing were introduced. The lobby became a social open space, with a wall to share local tips and a terminal screen with +100 arcade games. The brand signature became On the road.
Description
HotelF1 is an economy hotel brand. It is designed with a road trip theme and owned by Accor. HotelF1 manages 172 hotels in France (2018).

45275700 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glisborn | Glisborn | The Glisborn, or Glißborn, is a small, short () stream that rises from a spring of the same name. The spring is located close to the Odenberg hill near Gudensberg in the northern Hessian district of Schwalm-Eder-Kreis. The spring is connected with numerous legends (see below).
Course
The Glisborn spring is situated m north of the summit of the Odenberg hill and northwest of Scharfenstein hill, at an elevation of . The spring water flows directly in to a large pool (see photo) before emptying into the stream. Its very short course of flows through arable land and then into the Pilgerbach stream near Edermünde-Holzhausen at an elevation of . This gives an average gradient of 1.7%.
Legends
The first written versions of legends about the Glisborn were recorded by the Brothers Grimm.
It is, however, most probable that this legend is based on an older Chatti legend which states that the god Odin came riding from the Odenberg on his white, eight-legged horse Sleipnir. At every hoof-fall of the horse, a spring arose, such as the Glisborn.
For this reason the Chatti held the Glisborn sacred. After the Chatti were Christianised in the 8th Century by Saint Boniface, the legend was changed to the Charlemagne story. Both variants of the legend are "supported" by a stone with the imprint of a horse's hoof that was embedded in the wall of a church (Karlskirche) in Karlskirchen, a long abandoned village nearby.
During the Protestant Reformation in the Landgraviate of Hesse in the year 1526, the church was destroyed because it was also still used for certain pagan practices. Many years later this stone was cemented into the wall that surrounds the St. Margarethen church in Gudensberg, where it can be still seen today.
Water quality
In 2010, the water at Glisborn was found to have a total nitrate content above 50 mg/l, which is the maximum value that is allowed in drink water by German law (Trinkwasserschutzverordnung) and European drinking water quality standards.
The Hessian Water Authority have stated that in a study from 1994 it was found that the soil around Glisborn is composed of thick loess deposits in various states of weathering. The high nitrate values are caused by natural loess decomposition and are not due to farming practice.

188991 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King%20Edward%20VI%20Grammar%20School%2C%20Chelmsford | King Edward VI Grammar School, Chelmsford | King Edward VI Grammar School, or KEGS, is a British grammar school with academy status located in the city of Chelmsford, Essex, England. It takes pupils between the ages of 11 and 18, ie. school years 7 to 13. For years 7 to 11 the school is boys-only, whereas it is mixed in the sixth form (years 12 and 13). The headteacher is Tom Carter, who was appointed in the autumn of 2014.
History of the school
KEGS was one of many grammar schools founded by Edward VI. Its current form resulted from a royal warrant dated 24 March 1551, although evidence of this school exists from as far back as the 13th century, possibly earlier, as a chantry school in a different location in Chelmsford. Indeed, the school of 1551 was merely a "rebranding" of the Chelmsford Chantry School, a Roman Catholic institution which had been abolished along with the monasteries during the English Reformation. The school was moved to its present site on Broomfield Road in 1892. Once a boarding school, it was one of many grammar schools to join the state sector and abolish the nominal fees. The last boarding students left in the 1970s. In 1976 it admitted the first female pupil to the Sixth Form, to study Classics.
The school has been ranked in the top 50 schools in the country in national examination league tables. KEGS was previously a Foundation School and Specialist Science College and Language College. The school converted to academy status in April 2011, but continues to have science and languages as specialisms. It is also a Leading Edge school.
In 1981 it was named by The Sunday Times as the most successful state school as measured by Oxbridge open awards. In 1998, it was rated by the Financial Times as the most successful state school at GCE advanced level in the period 1993-1998. In 2001 the school was named Sunday Times School of the Year. The 2015 Good Schools Guide names KEGS as the top selective state school for a number of A-level subjects, as well as GCSE History and FSMQ Additional Mathematics. In November 2006, it was judged to be "outstanding" by OFSTED.
House system
In 1907, headmaster Frank Rogers set up the system of "Houses" – Holland, named for the translator Philemon Holland; Mildmay, for the courtier and politician Sir Walter Mildmay; Strutt, for the antiquary Joseph Strutt; and Tindal, for the lawyer Nicholas Conyngham Tindal, and dividing the school into four forms in each year. Due to the expansion of the school roll over the last few years, this has not been the case. Instead, there are five forms, which contain a mix of people from different houses.
Extracurricular activities
Combined Cadet Force and Corps of Drums
The school maintains an Army contingent of the Combined Cadet Force (CCF), which was also open to students of Chelmsford County High School for Girls until 2017. Military music is provided within the contingent by a Corps of Drums playing drums, flutes and bugles. The Corps wears the full dress scarlet tunics of The Essex Regiment, incorporating the purple facings which gave the Essex Regiment its nickname 'The Pompadours'. It carries the drums of the 5th Battalion (Territorial Army) emblazoned with the Regiment's battle honours.
KEGS Music
The school has many ensembles, of which the orchestras include members from other schools, though the majority are from KEGS and Chelmsford County High School for Girls. The other ensembles are exclusive to those who attend KEGS.

The Fleur De Lys Society
The Fleur de Lys Society (FDL) was a sixth-form debating society-cum-charity fundraising society. The FDL was believed to have been started by Frank Rogers, an influential Headmaster. As well as holding debates on a variety of topical subjects, it was also an important charitable organisation within the school. However, due to the controversial nature and content of several debates, the Society was suspended in 2007.
The KEGS Ambassador
The KEGS Ambassador is the school's independent student newspaper. Since its creation in January 2009, it has featured numerous articles by alumni, staff and students.
KEGS Medical Society
The KEGS Medical Society (MedSoc) is where topical medical issues are discussed.
The KEGS Economics Journal
The KEGS Economics Journal is another of the school's student-led newspapers. They feature articles on a wide variety of national and international economic and political affairs.

7561323 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell%20Beardsmore | Russell Beardsmore | Russell Peter Beardsmore (born 28 September 1968) is an English former footballer.
Playing career
Beardsmore began his career with Manchester United. He made his debut in September 1988 against West Ham United and was one of the first wave of 'Fergie's Fledglings'. In only his second league start on New Year's Day 1989, he inspired Manchester United to a 3–1 home win over Liverpool at Old Trafford in the league, setting up goals for Brian McClair and Mark Hughes before scoring the third himself.
He became a regular in the team for the rest of the 1988–89 season, with former midfield regular Gordon Strachan being sold to Leeds United in March. Beardsmore played a total of 30 times for United in that campaign, scoring twice.
Beardsmore faced fresh competition for midfield places in the 1989-90 season following the arrivals of Neil Webb, Mike Phelan, Paul Ince and Danny Wallace, but still managed 25 appearances in all competitions (15 as a substitute) and scored twice, his chances of first team football being helped by long-term injuries in midfield to Neil Webb and Bryan Robson. However, both Webb and Robson had returned to full fitness by the end of the campaign, and Beardsmore missed out on a place in United's triumph in the FA Cup.
He played 15 times in the 1990-91 season, and by the end of the season competition for places in midfield and on the wing had become fiercer still, with the signing of Andrei Kanchelskis and the breakthrough of Ryan Giggs. Beardsmore would play just three times for United in 1991-92 season.
He collected senior medals on 18 August 1990 as an unused substitute in the 1990 FA Charity Shield and on 19 November 1991, when he was selected as a non playing substitute in Manchester United's 1–0 European Super Cup win over Red Star Belgrade at Old Trafford. This was his last first team game for United. He had also previously been a member of United's victorious 1990-91 European Cup Winners' Cup campaign, although he did not make the squad for the Final. Beardsmore then played twice on loan in the Second Division for Blackburn Rovers.
He did not feature in a single competitive game when Manchester United won the first Premier League title in 1992–93 and at the end of the season signed for AFC Bournemouth on a free transfer. He remained at Dean Court until his retirement from playing in 1998 after five years at the club, where he found regular, first-team action, including captaining Bournemouth in the 1998 Football League Trophy defeat to Grimsby Town at Wembley Stadium in a match that attracted the highest attendance in English football that day 1998 Football League Trophy Final.
Coaching
Beardsmore is currently employed at Manchester United Foundation as a BTEC coach, having previously been an Inclusion Officer AFC Bournemouth Community Sports Trust and the Assistant Community Officer at Bolton Wanderers during their early days in the Premier League.

59434571 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saurauia%20papillulosa | Saurauia papillulosa | Saurauia papillulosa is a species of flowering plant in the family Actinidiaceae. It is endemic to the Philippines where it is known as papayang. Elmer Drew Merrill, the American botanist who first formally described the species, named it after the distinctive abundant small bumps, or papillae, (papillōsus in Latin) on the underside of its leaves.
Description
Saurauia papillulosa is a small tree in height with white flowers. Its leathery, oblong leaves are 7-14 by 2-5 centimeters with tips that come to a point. The leaf margins have fine serrations near their tips. The leaves have pale, sparsely bristled upper surfaces and pale lower surfaces with numerous distinctive small papillae. The leaves have 10 pairs of secondary veins emanating from their midribs. Its scaly petioles are 1-1.5 millimeters long. Inflorescences are organized as cymes consisting of a few flowers. The cymes are axillary positions on long peduncles. Its flowers have male and female reproductive structures. Its flowers have 5 elliptical sepals arranged in two rows. The three outer sepals are 6 by 3-4.5 millimeters and scaly. The two inner sepals are 8 by 5 millimeters. Its white corolla has 5 lobes that are fused only at their base and are 8 millimeters long with a notched tip. Its flowers have up to 20 stamens with 3 millimeters long filaments and 3 millimeter long anthers.
Its flowers have 4-5 styles that are 3 millimeters long and united at last 1 millimeter of their base.

1749866 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La%20Poudre%20Pass | La Poudre Pass | La Poudre Pass (elevation ), a high mountain pass, is located in the Rocky Mountains of northern Colorado in the United States.
The pass straddles the Continental Divide, and separates the headwaters of La Poudre Pass Creek, which joins the Cache Le Poudre River and eventually empties into the Gulf of Mexico, from the headwaters of the Colorado River, which drains into the Gulf of California. At the pass, the Continental Divide is the boundary between Grand and Larimer counties, and is also the northern boundary of Rocky Mountain National Park.
The pass itself is a broad, flat, swampy area. In the wet meadow just south of the divide, the Colorado River begins its course as a tiny stream emerging from this area which included the small La Poudre Pass Lake. The Rocky Mountain National Park La Poudre Pass Ranger Station is also located in the pass.
The pass is traversed by a hiking trail, by the Grand Ditch as it carries water from the Never Summer Mountains into the Cache La Poudre River, and by a private, gated, maintenance road for the Grand Ditch.
To access the pass, visitors should follow Long Draw Road south from its junction with State Highway 14 in Poudre Canyon, just east of Cameron Pass. Long Draw Road is unpaved, but can be traveled by regular passenger automobiles. After passing Long Draw Reservoir, the road ends at the La Poudre Pass Trailhead parking area. It's a very short walk from here to the pass, which is marked by the entrance sign to the Rocky Mountain National Park. This sign is also located on the Continental Divide.

5265598 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel%20M.%20Jordan | Samuel M. Jordan | Dr. Samuel Martin Jordan (1871 – 1952) was an American presbyterian missionary in Persia (Iran).
He is sometimes referred to as the "father of modern education in Iran".
After graduating first from Lafayette College and then from the Princeton Theological Seminary in 1898, he moved to Tehran and spent 43 years as a missionary in Iran. Under his direction, the establishment that later took the name of Alborz High School was upgraded to the American College of Tehran and received a permanent charter from the Board of Regents of the State University of New York in 1932. Jordan served as president of the institution from 1899 until 1940. He received the first Scientific Medal of Iran in 1940.
In appreciation of his many services to higher education in Iran, a boulevard in Tehran, Jordan Boulevard, was named after him. Although after the 1979 Iranian Revolution this street's name was changed (to Africa and later to Nelson Mandela), the old name is still widely used. A statue of him, perhaps the only of a Westerner in Iran at the time, which is still on display in Amirkabir University, was dedicated in Alborz High School. Further, a theater in Tehran was named after him.
On 21 April 2005, Fariborz Maseeh and the Massiah Foundation pledged $2 million to create an interdisciplinary research center at UC Irvine named "The Dr. Samuel M. Jordan Center for Persian Studies and Culture" that will bring together scholars in Persian history, language, culture, art and literature.

5756282 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir%20Guy%20Carleton%20Elementary%20School | Sir Guy Carleton Elementary School | Sir Guy Carleton Elementary School (commonly referred to as Carleton) is an elementary school located at the southern periphery of the Renfrew-Collingwood neighbourhood of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is part of School District 39 Vancouver.
History
The school is located next to the intersection of Kingsway and Joyce Street and the original schoolhouse was central to the Collingwood community since its completion in 1896. It is ranked an "A" category heritage building in Vancouver's Heritage Register. Originally named the Vancouver East School, its name was changed to Collingwood Heights in 1908, and then to its present name in 1911. The school is named after Guy Carleton, the lieutenant-governor of Quebec during the late 18th century.
2008 schoolhouse fire
At around midnight on March 2, 2008, the original schoolhouse was set ablaze by arsonists. The kindergarten classes that were taught in the schoolhouse had to be temporarily relocated due to the fire. After the fire, the Vancouver School Board (VSB) considered demolishing the charred building; however, the idea was met with heavy protest, and the idea was later scrapped.
In 2012, Green Thumb Theatre entered into a lease agreement with the VSB, restoring the two outbuildings. Construction was completed in early 2013, and one of the buildings became the administrative office for Green Thumb Theatre, while the other houses a theatre.
2016 brick building fire
On August 19, 2016, at around 7:15 PM, a fire began on the third floor of the main brick building, which quickly spread and was subsequently upgraded to a four-alarm blaze. The flames reach the building's attic, where the fire was contained. The source of the fire remains unclear. As of the 2016 fire, Carleton has remained vacant, although it is still under consideration by the VSB for future seismic upgrades.
Proposed closure
In June 2016, the VSB announced their intention to close down Carleton, along with Graham D. Bruce Elementary School and Gladstone Secondary School, due to the VSB's failure to cut operating costs. In October 2016, the VSB announced that they would suspend their plans for school closures "indefinitely".
In February 2019, the VSB released a draft of their long-term facilities plan, which named twenty-eight schools, including Carleton, that the school board considered as possible future closures, due to low-enrollment numbers and/or a need for seismic upgrades.

Participating in shooting at the 1906 Intercalated Games at Athens, Stäheli took five more medals – a gold medal, two silver medals and a bronze medal in the individual rifle events, and another gold medal in the team rifle competition. His nine total medals in Olympic shooting competition remained a record until the United States' Carl Osburn won 11, all in rifle events, between 1912 and 1924.
Stäheli also won the 1906 World Championship in 50 m Pistol. In 1909, in Hamburg, Germany, Stäheli became the first ever person to break the 1000 point barrier in the free rifle event.

4978634 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitchener%20Dutchmen | Kitchener Dutchmen | The Kitchener Dutchmen were a Canadian junior ice hockey team based in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. They played in the Mid-Western division of the Greater Ontario Junior Hockey League.
History
The Kitchener Dutchmen franchise was founded in 1956 when the Junior A Kitchener Canucks were moved to become the Peterborough Petes. With the Canucks gone, the new Kitchener Greenshirts were founded as members of the Central Junior B Hockey League to fill the void left by their Junior A counterparts.
The Greenshirts changed their name to the "Ranger B's" in 1969 to better reflect their relationship with their parent club, the Kitchener Rangers who entered the market in 1963. The team started in the Central Junior B league, but as part of the 1971 geographic realignment, moved to the Western Junior B league. In 1973, the team joined the "Southwestern Junior "B" Hockey League", which became the "Waterloo-Wellington Junior "B" Hockey League" and then the Midwestern "B" in 1977. The team is a long-standing member of the league and remains there to this day as the Kitchener Dutchmen.
An original charter member team, in 1992 the franchise became the first team in Mid-Western "B" history, other than the Waterloo Siskins and the Stratford Cullitons, to win the league and the Sutherland Cup. They won a second consecutive league title in 1993, but failed to come away with another Ontario Hockey Association title. The team has not missed the playoffs since 1979, a streak only surpassed by the Siskins and Cullitons. The Dutchmen are a long time farm team for the Kitchener Rangers of the Ontario Hockey League.
On April 26th, 2020, it was announced that the OHA had given approval for the Ayr Centennials to purchase the Dutchmen and move them to Ayr in order to promote the Centennials from Junior C to Junior B, effective starting in the 2020-21 season. This thus brought an end to the 63 years of Dutchmen hockey in Kitchener.

62416696 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical%20Storm%20Nestor%20%282019%29 | Tropical Storm Nestor (2019) | Tropical Storm Nestor was a large but short-lived and disorganized tropical cyclone which caused widespread tornadoes and heavy rain in the Southeastern United States during mid-October 2019. The sixteenth depression and fourteenth named storm of the erratic 2019 Atlantic hurricane season, Nestor originated from a broad area of low pressure over the Western Caribbean. It emerged in the Gulf of Mexico and began to organize slightly, becoming Potential Tropical Cyclone Sixteen due to its threat to the Southeastern United States. It gained a sufficient enough of a circulation to be designated Tropical Storm Nestor near the Florida Panhandle early on October 18, crawling to the northeast, and then finally transitioning into an extratropical cyclone due to strong shear from a nearby upper-level low before making landfall on the Florida Panhandle on October 19.
Meteorological history
On October 10, the NHC began to monitor for a poorly defined area of low pressure that was forecast to form near Central America. The low developed on October 11 and meandered almost parallel to the coast of Honduras for the next few days, before finally crossing over Central America near the Yucatan Peninsula on October 14. The low fully emerged into the Bay of Campeche on October 16 after bringing heavy rain to Central America and due to the warm temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico at the time, convection significantly improved with the system near the center and it was given a medium chance of development. The system became very broad but proceeded to be designated as Potential Tropical Cyclone Sixteen the proceeding day due to its threat to the United States Gulf Coast. The disturbance intensified over the following hours, attaining winds up to 60 mph (95 km/h), with cloud tops colder than -80° enveloping the center. The disturbance's circulation, however remained elongated, and was still not named. Later that evening on October 18, the circulation improved and became more defined, while the system was finally designated Tropical Storm Nestor.
Nestor began to then accelerate to the northeast aided by a ridge to its northeast, although wind shear generated by a nearby trough almost embedded within the northern side of the cyclone began to give Nestor a lopsided appearance on satellite imagery shortly after its designation. Due to Nestor's broad nature, gale-force winds were already beginning to be observed near the coast of Florida Panhandle. The system began to slow down as wind shear generated by the trough caused the storm to weaken as it neared the Florida Panhandle coast. Nestor rapidly lost its tropical characteristics due to interaction with this trough, and was declared to have become an extratropical cyclone early on October 19, however still bringing storm surge and heavy rains to the coast anyway. Nestor's post-tropical remnant then made landfall in St. Vincent Island, Florida with winds up to 45 mph, becoming further disorganized across the Southeastern United States for the next couple of days. On October 21, Nestor's extratropical remnant was absorbed into another extratropical storm off the coast of the Southeastern United States.
Preparations
With the designation of Potential Tropical Cyclone Sixteen, the National Weather Service (NWS) issued Tropical Storm Warnings and Watches for the majority of the Florida Panhandle coast. Storm Surge Watches were also issued ahead of the storm. Parts of Southern Louisiana and Alabama also received Tropical Storm Warnings, but were removed shortly after the storm's track shifted predominantly towards to the Florida Panhandle. Tornado watches were then issued shortly after the storm became post-tropical for much of Northern Florida and some parts of Georgia.
Impacts
As Nestor began to approach the coast of the Florida Panhandle, the same region that was severely affected by Hurricane Michael the previous year, it led to winds to gale-force and storm surge to take upon the region. Tides 2–4 feet above normal were recorded in several parts of the region as well, causing some minor coastal flooding. Heavy rain and the surging waves generated by the storm system also caused flash flooding in parts of the region, with some areas topping with 4 inches of rain. These rains, however, proved to be somewhat beneficial. A drought in the Southeastern United States was relieved as Nestor and its post-tropical remnant brought rain to the areas, with a meteorologist stating "The rain on the whole was a positive for the entire region – unless you had outdoor plans.".
Perhaps the legacy of Nestor, however, was the tornado outbreak it caused across the Southeastern United States. Although Nestor was not classified as a tropical cyclone anymore at the time of its landfall, it spawned numerous supercells, which ultimately led to the spawning of several tornadoes. The National Weather Service (NWS) only confirmed three tornadoes, one reaching EF2 status. One of the tornadoes, only reaching EF0 status, was recorded in Seminole, Florida and damaged a mobile home park. An EF2 tornado which tracked 9 miles also touched down in western Polk County, damaging over 50 homes and other buildings, including a middle school. The tornado also overturned an 18-wheeled vehicle which fell on top of a SUV, but no injuries were reported. A final EF1 tornado formed near Cape Coral in Lee County damaging several homes. No injuries or deaths were reported from any of the tornadoes.
Additionally, heavy rains generated by Nestor's extratropical remnant caused a car crash in South Carolina, killing 3 people.

2071317 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clonbur | Clonbur | An Fhairche, or Clonbur in English, is a Gaeltacht village in County Galway, Ireland.
The village of Clonbur sits between Lough Corrib and Lough Mask. Two kilometres to the west rises Mount Gable where, according to legend, the hordes of Firbolg gathered on the hilltop before their clash with the Tuatha Dé Danann at the Battle of Moytura.
Clonbur also contains the ruins of the Petersburg Estate, seat of the Lynch family. In more recent times, it was owned by the Guinness family. The house and yard buildings have been completely renovated and now function as an Outdoor Education Centre.
Ross Hill Abbey
In the Ross Hill cemetery of stands the ruins of Teampall Brendain. The ruin is sited within an ancient oval enclosure known as a Caiseal or Cashel. The western end of the ruin is of early Christian origin and in the trabeated doorway can clearly be seen the inclined jambs so distinctive of that era. This edifice replaced a wooden and less durable structure which was the Navigator's original monastic settlement on the site.
Within 30 meters of the western doorway is a curiosity locally known as The Ogham Stone.
The site, in the Ross Hill estate, was once the property of the unpopular Earl of Leitrim.
The estate later became the property of the Guinness family.
Ballykine (Ballykyne) Castle
One of a series of five fortifications from Ballinrobe to Ballindonage, it was originally owned by the O'Kynes. In 1571 it was seized for the Crown by Fitton, the then President of Connacht. For a period the de Burgos held it and later gave it to the MacDonnells (Scottish mercenaries) as service booty or bonnacht. Eventually it passed from Sir Richard O'Donnell to Sir Benjamin Lee Guinness and so became part of the Guinness estate.
Architecturally, the castle has some puzzling features. The trabeated doorway with its inclined jambs pre-dates the rest of the structure by some 900 years. Certain sections of the stonework are not bonded together as a unit, a feature which suggests later additions to the original building.
Lough Coolin
Located at the foot of Mount Gable, three miles west of Clonbur in County Galway. Lough Coolin is accessible via the villages of Ballyveane and Kilbeg Upper. Beside the lake are the stone cottage ruins of an old village. The lake was renowned for white trout until the early 1960s when pike were added to the lake by a local fisherman. Pike and perch are now the only fish in the lake. A stream from the Lough Coolin flows into Lough Mask. Coolin Lake provides fresh water for the village of Clonbur.
Mount Gable
Mount Gable (1370 feet) is a hill which dominates the isthmus between Lough Corrib and Lough Mask and overlooks one of the major routes into Connemara from the east. The starting point for a walk is approximately 2 km from the village of Clonbur. It provides a backdrop for Lough Coolin. Views of both Lough Mask and Lough Corrib can be had from the top of Mount Gable. Mount Gable is accessible through the villages of Ballyveane and Kilbeg Upper.

4184810 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThaiURL | ThaiURL | ThaiURL (Thai Uniform Resource Locator) is a technology enabling the use of Thai domain names in applications that have been modified to support this technology. It is one of several such systems that were marketed before the advent of IDNA.
Traditionally, the Domain Name System (DNS), does not allow domain names with Thai characters. The only characters allowed in DNS names, as specified in RFC 1034 “Domain names - concepts and facilities” and RFC 1035 “Domain names - implementation and specification”, are
Letter: “a” through “z” (case insensitive)
Digit: “0” through “9”
Hyphen (-)
The ThaiURL domain naming standard is based on Thai characters and symbols as specified in TIS 620-2533: Standard for Thai Character Codes for Computers. Since these are non-ASCII characters, Row-based ASCII Compatible Encoding is used. The encoding process is as follows:
Begin with a Thai domain name as input:ชื่อไทย.คอม
Convert the Thai characters into their Unicode code points in hexadecimal:0e0a 0e37 0e48 0e2d 0e44 0e17 0e22 . 0e04 0e2d 0e21 (spaces are added here to show individual code points)0e0a0e370e480e2d0e440e170e22.0e040e2d0e21 (actual hex string)
Convert the hex characters to binary:0000 1110 0000 1010 0011 0111 0100 1000 0010 1101 0100 0100 0001 0111 0010 0010 . 0000 1110 0000 0100 0010 1101 0010 0001 (spaces added to show individual hex characters)
Perform a Base32 conversion:00001 11000 00101 00011 01110 10010 00001 01101 01000 10000 01011 10010 00100 . 00001 11000 00010 00010 11010 01000 01000 (binary representation)byfdosbniqlse.bycc2ii (ASCII representation)
Append TLD:byfdosbniqlse.bycc2ii.net
This kind of URL encoding is not a national standard, but rather a system used by the domain name registrar ThaiURL.com. It is one of many localized naming schemes that predate standardisation of Internationalized domain names (IDNA); at the moment the two systems appear to coexist. The ccTLD name registrar for .th, thnic.net, supports IDNA; ThaiURL registers .com names.
However, because this is not an ICANN-sanctioned IDN encoding method, support is limited. Most browsers will use still default to punycode for encoding Thai domain names, so the only way to reach ThaiURL-registered domains is by typing in or linking to the ASCII-encoded domain name.

58965180 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chad%20Beebe | Chad Beebe | Chad Beebe (born June 1, 1994) is an American football wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at Northern Illinois University.
Early life and high school
Born in Buffalo, New York, Beebe attended Aurora Christian Schools, where he played football for his father Don Beebe. Beebe holds school records for most catches and receiving yardage in a career and set a school single-game record with four touchdowns. In his senior season, Beebe caught 65 passes for 980 yards and 15 touchdowns and earned IHSA All-State honors as the Eagles won the 2012 Illinois Class 3A title.
College career
Beebe spent five seasons with the Huskies, redshirting his senior season due to an offseason injury. Over the course of his collegiate career, Beebe had 64 receptions for 930 yards and three touchdowns while also returning 48 punts and 12 kickoffs for 329 and 297 yards. He wore 82, his father's number from the NFL, while at Northern Illinois.
Professional career
Beebe signed with the Minnesota Vikings as an undrafted free agent on May 7, 2018 after participating in a rookie minicamp with the team. He was cut from by the Vikings at the end of training camp and subsequently signed to the team's practice squad on September 2, 2018. Beebe was promoted to the Vikings' active roster on November 3, 2018 after an injury to wide receiver Stefon Diggs. He made his NFL debut the following day in a 24-9 win against the Detroit Lions, catching three passes for 21 yards. As a rookie, Beebe played in three games with four receptions for 39 yards and missed five games due to a hamstring injury.
On September 24, 2019, Beebe was placed on injured reserve after suffering torn ligaments in his ankle. Beebe caught two passes for 70 yards, returned one kickoff for 13 yards and returned seven punts for 46 yards with three fumbles in three games played in 2019.
In Week 12 of the 2020 season, Beebe scored a late go-ahead touchdown, which was also the first of his career, on a ten-yard reception from Kirk Cousins to secure a 28–27 victory over the Carolina Panthers, overcoming a muffed punt minutes earlier that had set up a Panther's field goal. Beebe scored a touchdown on a 40-yard catch and run from Cousins against in the final game of the season against the Detroit Lions. He finished the season with 20 receptions for 201 yards and two touchdowns and nine punts returned for 42 yards.
The Vikings initially declined to tender Beebe after the 2020 season, making a free agent, but quickly re-signed him to a one-year contract on March 17, 2021.
On August 31, 2021, Beebe was waived/injured by the Vikings and placed on injured reserve.
Personal life
Beebe is the son of former NFL wide receiver Don Beebe, who played nine years for the Buffalo Bills, Green Bay Packers, and Carolina Panthers and appeared in six Super Bowls.
Beebe is a Christian.

History
The temple is named after a monk from China, started as a village-style wooden house in 1958 before being rebuilt in a modern architecture as a double-storey brick building in 1985.
Features
The two-storey temple has a three arch doorways on each level. In the first doorway which is the Buddha Hall, there is a small smiling statue of Mi-lo Fwo (Maitreya) in a short altar facing the door. The Eighteen Luohan are lined up on both sides of the Buddha Hall, nine on each side, leading to a smaller statue of Gautama Buddha in the centre. Behind the Buddha statues is the statue of Goddess of Mercy (Guan Yin). The temple also kept a complete collection of the Pāli Canon, a religious scripture of Buddhism. The second floor of the temple is a convenient spot for capturing scenic photos of its neighbouring temple of Cheng Hoon Teng and the rest of the "Harmony Street" because of its proximity to the Kampung Kling Mosque and Sri Poyatha Moorthi Temple, which symbolises religious tolerance existed long before the founding of the modern state of Malaysia.

She was a licensed clinical psychologist who was first on the air in Boston at WITS, where she hosted a program called Up Close and Personal in the late 1970s. She later hosted call-in shows on radio stations in San Francisco and New York City.
Her syndicated show was one of the longest-running call-in therapy shows in the United States. Browne took a no-nonsense approach to callers, trying to zero in on a problem without getting caught up in a caller's long stories or digressions. Browne was also known for her "one-year rule", which states that people who have lost a spouse or long-time partner due to break-up, death, or divorce should wait at a minimum one year before resuming romantic relationships.
Dr. Joy was also known for her advice to act "stupid and cheerful" when dealing with difficult people. She also half-jokingly suggested that people wait until they are 40 or 45 years old before having sex, due to the emotional nakedness involved, in addition to the physical.
Dr. Browne hosted a TV show on the Discovery Health cable channel in 2005 which was a live one-hour simulcast of her weekday show on WOR. She previously hosted a King World-Eyemark weekday syndicated TV advice talk show in 1999 for one year.
She wrote numerous books on life and dating, including It’s A Jungle Out There Jane, Dating for Dummies, The Nine Fantasies That Will Ruin Your Life, Capitalizing on Incompetence, Getting Unstuck, and Dating Disasters.
On September 30, 2010, Dr. Browne joined the cast of the off-Broadway play My Big Gay Italian Wedding for three performances.
Browne was often called the antonym to radio advice host Laura Schlessinger, and has inspired a legion of radio hosts.
Browne's call-in therapy show was heard for two decades at 710 WOR in New York and was syndicated to other cities. She was released by WOR on December 20, 2012, after iHeartMedia bought the station and brought in its own network hosts. Bumper music for the show was often the bass line from the Nick Lowe song "Cracking Up."
Beginning in January 2013, Dr. Joy was heard on Radio America from Noon-3p.m. ET on weekdays. On September 8, 2014, she switched to the Genesis Communications Network (GCN), continuing her syndicated radio show in the same time slot.
Personal life and death
Browne was married once (to Carter Browne, whom she divorced, although she kept her married name professionally) and had a daughter. Browne died suddenly in Manhattan on Saturday, August 27, 2016, aged 71.

4106657 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William%20Kincaid%20%28artist%29 | William Kincaid (artist) | William "Bill" Kincaid (born 1957, in Chicago) was known nationally in the entertainment trade as a costume designer until 1990, and is also known as an artist creating pet paintings in brilliant colors on large canvases.
Education
Kincaid attended art class at the Washington University in St. Louis during the early 1980s, although not as an art major.
Employment
After graduating from Washington University, he painted miscellaneous portraits of people, occasional copies of classic paintings, and abstracts in his spare time. He focused on pets after he painted a friend's Boston Terrier.
Kincaid's first employment in an art field was in 1974, working as a custom motorcycle artist at "Buzz's Psycles" of Chamblee, Georgia. He painted restorations of classic British bikes such as the Bonnevilles and Trophies built in the middle and late 1960s by Triumph Motorcycles and did customization work. He left Georgia in 1977.
Influences
He has listed as major influences 1960s psychedelia, surrealism and Pop Art; Andy Warhol, Peter Max, Salvador Dalí, and other less-known genre artists. Although the medium, acrylics on canvas, has been consistent throughout his painting career, his painting style has varied throughout a limited body of work.
Activities
From 1977 through 1989, he made thousands of costumes, also drawing and painting costume designs and various commercial graphics projects, in partnership with his brother Doug Kincaid. Bill Kincaid often participated in every step from the initial drawings, patterns and materials selection through the final cutting and assembly.
During his active years with The Kincaid Karacter Company, he was instrumental in the design, development, and creation of many iconic mascot characters for some of the world's best known organizations, including "BUDMAN" & "Spuds MCKENZIE" for Anheuser-Busch (AB-InBev), "FredBird" for The St. Louis Cardinals, "Little Caesar" for Little Caesar's Pizza, and "Elroy Elk", the National Drug Awareness Program mascot for The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks (ELKS Association). He also designed & created hundreds of other popular mascots for Ralston Purina, Six Flags, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, M-TV, Hostess Cakes, and The United States Postal Service, as well as designing & creating the character of "Grouchie Gator" (star of the CBS children's show "Gator Tales"), plus many other memorable "Kincaid Karacter" puppets.
His non-costume & puppet related projects included props for numerous TV commercials, promotions, and industrial films, as well as board games, coloring books, and logos. From 1981 to 1999, Kincaid also created puppets, scenery and props for CBS children's television shows D. B.'s Delight and Gator Tales, plus rendered & constructed remodels of sets for Six Flags attractions.
He specializes in painting dogs, cats and other pets in his distinctive style. He has supported animal protection groups. He lives in the Midwest.
Kincaid also writes essays on cultural and historical topics, such as "Really Remembering the Alamo".

43678963 | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William%20Smith%20%28minister%29 | William Smith (minister) | The Reverend William Smith died aged 28 from the plague in 1647, possibly from Typhoid Fever and was buried at a site that has become known as the Prophet's Grave, Minister's Grave or Smith's Grave (NS 2125 6226) in the Brisbane Glen near Largs, North Ayrshire, Scotland.
Life and character
Succeeding Thomas Craig, a gifted preacher, pious and sociable, William was inducted to minister at Largs in 1644 and had been a schoolmaster in Irvine and/or Kilwinning (1641). Hugh Smith, minister of Eastwood, was the younger brother of William. He never married and records show that he died with very few possessions, just his books and his clothes. His education had been at the University of Glasgow where he had graduated in 1639 with a Master of Arts degree.
Such was his dedication that he continued to minister to his parishioners even after he had contracted the plague. In times past many diseases were thought to be more of an act of God than a result of contact with micro-organisms as their existence at that time was unknown. William Smith ministering to his flock whilst suffering from the 'plague' must be seen in this context as the power of prayer was sincerely believed to be capable of healing the sick. It wasn't until 1875 that Robert Koch demonstrated that disease was caused by micro-organisms that were too small to be seen by the naked eye.
The pestilence
The Reverend William Smith had been the minister in the then village of Largs for only three years when he died, aged about 28 years of age, at Middleton in the Brisbane Glen whilst tending to his flock who had moved to nearby Outerwards and then built temporary dwellings in this secluded site in the hope of escaping the pestilence or plague that was in all probability Typhus. Considerable help was organised at the time by the Irvine Presbytery for the relief of the parishioners of Largs, with the active support from the Laird of Bishopton.
The prophecy and the prophet's grave
The grave site now consists of a recumbent stone standing on stone blocks near the Middleton Burn that runs down to the Noddsdale Water in the vicinity of the old Noddsdale corn and flour mill. The old OS maps show that the path that now runs to the grave through what was a wind break of trees is of relatively recent origin and that the grave used to be reached via a path from Noddsdale Mill. The site was close to the old Brisbane Estate.
It is recounted that he became known as the 'Prophet' because upon his deathbed William Smith prophesied that if the two holly trees growing at his grave were prevented from touching then the plague or pestilence would never return to the parish of Largs. Older records indicate that the holly trees were located at the 'head' and 'foot' of the grave, however today (datum 2014) two trees are located either side of the 'head' and 'three' at the foot. The records show that relatives and others maintained the grave site and the result, intended or otherwise, of his prophecy is that the site has been maintained and his name has never been forgotten.
Asiatic Cholera came to Largs at least twice in the 1830s, however it is not recorded whether the holly trees were touching or maybe the 'Prophet' was specifically referring to typhoid fever.
The grave is located in a fairly remote location as was typical of burials of plague victims such as those who died from cholera. Many Cholera pits exist in Ayrshire, such as at Dalry, Stevenston, Monkcastle, Beith, Barrmill, Kilmarnock, Cleeve Cove, etc. It is unknown where those members of his flock who died from the plague are buried.
The original gravestone bore the following inscription:
The Latin inscription translates as -
"Buried in this tomb I lie, at the same time a youth and an old man – young in years and old in piety. By the divine spirit I have seen divine truths, and have dispersed darkness from the mind, thundering with loud voice. There cleaved to my feelings a very horror of wickedness, and to my words reproach of wicked deeds."
Restorations
The stone and later copy of the inscription records that the grave of 1647 was restored or 'renewed' by his nephew James Smith in 1710 and again in 1760. In 1942 the Revd Baxter had expressed a desire to have the grave site restored and enhanced, for at this time the original pillars had gone and the stone simply rested unevenly on a grass slope with no dedicated pathway running to it, making it hard to find. In 1956 Saint Columba's Parish Church and the Largs Business Club carried out an extensive restoration and on Sunday, 20 May the people of Largs, accompanied by the Provost, Burgh councillors and local clergy re-dedicated the grave site with prayers and psalms sung to 17th-century tunes. The cost was £372 6s 5d and a church elder, Alexander Hill, pulled back the saltire flag to reveal the new engraved plaque. Mr John Campbell of Auchengarth donated the land and Messrs. Blackie crafted the bespoke wrought iron gate with its stone piers built by Mr Alexander Campbell. Largs Town Council took on the responsibility for maintaining the site in good condition.
At one point the grave was much neglected and is said to have been little more than a marshy swamp. Being a popular place for holidaymakers to visit a number of postcards of the grave were produced and the earliest show that the stone was originally recumbent and set into the ground, however by 1905 it was raised up onto four stout stone pillars. Postcards show that the site was entirely remodelled in 1956 and the landscaping included the small bridge on the 'new' path, drystone dyking and planting of ornamental hedges, etc.
In August 2014 the Redburn Activity Agreement Group (RAAG) assisted by the NAC Ranger Service carried out a programme of vegetation removal so that William Smith's grave became more open and the five holly trees were not all touching. The ornamental iron gate at the roadside entrance was also sanded and repainted by RAAG in the same year.
Aftermath
The presbytery of Irvine acted quickly following William Smith's death and the minutes for 28 September 1647 record that:
"The Presbiterie laying to heart the lamentable and calamitous condition of the paroch of Larges partly by the reason of the hand of God that is lying heavy upon them, and partly by the reason of the removal of their minister by death think it expedient that Mr Wm. Lyndsay be sent to visit them and to take notice of their desires, and to enquire ane overture of themselves how they may be gotten helpit and supplied, and the said Mr William to make report of his diligence."
Perhaps in his delirium the minister recalled pre-Christian beliefs for holly trees were thought to have protective qualities and even today the tree forms a major part of the Christmas festivities with its red berries and bright shiny green leaves that echo the energy of nature and of sacrifice, both within nature and of religion as reflected in Christmas Carols, etc.
Tourist attraction
It is clear from old photographs and comments by William Dobie in 1855 that the grave was a very popular tourist attraction and had a regular stream of visitors who walked up to the site from the town.
Micro-history
William Smith was somewhat lame in one foot.
The remains of several huts, found at Outerwards (NS 234 661) on the Noddle Burn may be those of the temporary dwellings of those who left Largs during the outbreak of pestilence.
Whilst renewing the inscription the date of Smith's death was accidentally given on the tombstone as 1644 instead of 1647. The presbytery records make it clear that Smith died between 29 June and 28 September 1647.
A Geocache located at the grave site has helped to bring more visitors to this fascinating but somewhat forgotten site.
The St Columba's Church Heritage Centre in Largs gives details of the life and works of William Smith.
