The Woodstock Concert

The Woodstock Concert is a live solo piano album by Marilyn Crispell. It was recorded at the Kleinert/James Arts Center in Woodstock, New York in April 1995, and was released in 1996 by Music & Arts. Reception In a review for AllMusic, Dean McFarlane wrote: "One of the free jazz scene's phenomenal figureheads of solo piano improvisation, Marilyn Crispell's amassed discography is as flawless as Cecil Taylor's when it comes to brilliance in solo piano performance. The Woodstock Concert was given on April 21, 1995, and on that date she performed four improvisations, a Bill Evans piece, and one Annette Peacock composition which erupts into one of the most glorious performances of Crispell's highly documented mid-'90s era. The pieces 'Await', 'In Lingering Air' and the exquisitely titled 'How Not to Anaesthetize Desire' are exceptional moments that capture some of her greatest free improvisation on recording." The authors of the Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings awarded the album 4 stars, and commented: "The solo performance... was something of a homecoming for the globetrotting Crispell, who has made her home in the area for the better part of twenty years but has rarely had the chance to play there. This set contains the best of her solo work for many moons... Crispell shows how completely in command she is, executing a long suite of pieces... any doubts about her quality are easily dispelled." Critic Tom Hull stated: " Another solo, less than three months after Live at Mills College, two months before the superb Contrasts: Live at Yoshi's (1995), even more of a tour de force -- 'In Lingering Air' multiplies her percussion and harmonics into something wondrous, a level she returns to time and again, but by then even a relatively quiet stretch pulls you in."

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

Oligocolius

Oligocolius (meaning "Oligocene mousebird") is an unusual genus of extinct mousebird from the early to late Oligocene epoch of Germany. Oligocolius is known from two species, the type species O. brevitarsus and O. psittacocephalon. Oligocolius is a member of the family of modern mousebirds (Coliidae) and is broadly similar to them in shape. However, unlike modern mouse birds the skull and beak of Oligocolius closely resembles those of parrots, and appears to be specialised for a distinct lifestyle not found in living mousebirds. Discovery The first specimen of Oligocolius was discovered in a clay pit at Frauenweiler, near Wiesloch in Germany, dated to the Rupelian approximately 32 million years ago during the early Oligocene from which its name derives. The specimen was described and named by palaeontologist Gerald Mayr in 2000, included much of the skeleton, but was disarticulated and missing its skull, as well as most of both its left wing and foot. The species was named O. brevitarsus for the unusually short length of its foot (from Latin brevis, short). A second specimen was later described by Mayr in 2013 from the late Oligocene (24.7 Ma) lagerstätte in Enspel (an ancient maar lake) near Bad Marienberg, Germany. Compared to the first specimen, this specimen was nearly complete (missing only the pygostyle of the tail) and was fully articulated. Although referable to Oligocolius, the two specimens could be distinguished by differing limb proportions, and so the new specimen was assigned its own species, O. psittacocephalon. The species was named for the distinctive parrot-like skull present in the specimen (from the Greek psittakos and cephalon). Oligocolius is the only coliid known from the Oligocene and is the most complete Paleogene coliid known, however, it is more unlike modern mousebirds than some older Eocene forms (such as Primocolius and Palaeospiza). Oligocolius demonstrates then that fossil coliids occupied a much more diverse range of lifestyles than those represented today. Description Oligocolius was similar in size to living mousebirds (such as the speckled mousebird) with a superficially similar shape, as well as derived traits of the skeleton that ally it closely with living coliids. Like living mousebirds, it had a short, rounded skull with a short beak, short legs and presumably pamprodactyl feet. However, it is noticeably distinct in both the design of its skull and the proportions of its limbs. The skull of Oligocolius is remarkably parrot-like, particularly due to the broad intertemporal region between the eyes and the shape of the beak. The upper beak is deep and rounded, as well as possibly hooked at the tip, compared to the short finch-like beaks of modern mousebirds. The mandible has a particularly long retroarticular process, where the muscle for opening the jaws attaches to at the back of the lower jaw. The length of this bone would have provided Oligocolius with an increased gape compared to modern mousebirds. Furthermore, the beak is attached to the cranium by a hinge between the nasal bones and the frontals, meaning the upper beak was freely mobile like those of parrots and toucans. However, the combination of the long retroarticular process and the nasofrontal hinge is only found in parrots and Oligocolius, suggesting they share a similar degree of cranial kinesis. In addition to the parrot-like skull, Oligocolius also has notably shorter feet and longer wings than modern mousebirds. Particularly, the ulna and carpometacarpus of the hand are distinctly longer than those of modern mousebirds. The tarsometatarsus of the foot is much shorter than in any other known coliiform, much shorter than the humerus and ulna and only slightly longer than the carpometacarpus. The phalanx bones of the toes are shortened as in modern mousebirds, but uniquely the first phalanges of the forward pointing toes are all equally shortened. The fourth toe was capable of reversing as in modern mousebirds, and it was presumably pamprodactyl. It is unknown if Oligocolius had the characteristic long tail feathers of other mousebirds, however O. brevitarsus has a very well-developed pygostyle to suggest so. Palaeobiology O. psittacocephalon was found with many fruit stones inside its body, mostly in a cluster beneath the skull and a few within the body cavity. The size of the stones are about as large as the biggest fruits swallowed by living mousebirds (0.5 mm) and are completely intact, indicating that Oligocolius not only consumed larger fruits than living mousebirds but that it also swallowed them whole. The flexibility of the short upper beak was likely a specialisation for eating such large food items, as it is in modern parrots. The presence of a crop in Oligocolius implies that it was feeding on fruits and vegetation that was tougher to digest than those in the diet of living mousebirds. Because the crop is absent in living mousebirds, and that mousebirds are not closely related to other birds with crops (such as the hoatzin and raptors), it is inferred that the crop was evolved independently in at least Oligocolius amongst mousebirds. The longer and more strongly developed wings of Oligocolius would have allowed it to fly for longer distances than living mousebirds, while the shorter feet imply it was less competent on the ground than modern mousebirds. Oligocolius likely spent more time in the trees than living mousebirds, and was capable of dispersing more easily than other coliids. It's possible that unusual adaptations of Oligocolius were a response to a period of cooling climate in Europe between the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum and the Miocene Climatic Optimum, although this is uncertain.

Lotte Pusch

Lotte Pusch was born on 7 August 1890 in Reichenbach/O.L. and was a German physical chemist. She was of the Protestant denomination. Her father was a District Court Director. Education Pusch visited secondary schools in Pleß, Glogau (later called Głogów), and Görlitz before deciding to attend the Mädchen-Realgymnasium Chamissoschule school in Schönberg. She later attended the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität (later the Humboldt University of Berlin). During her first two semesters, she focused on mathematics, physics, and chemistry. In 1913, Pusch passed her university exams and began to study for her Ph.D. in physical chemistry. She earned her doctorate in March 1916 after passing her doctoral exam on January 20, 1916. Career Upon receipt of her doctorate, Pusch, in the summer semester of 1916, became the only female Assistent (assistant) at the Physikalisch-Chemischen Institut at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität. She was hired in as a civil servant based upon Article 128 in the Weimar Constitution, which is listed as abolishing discriminatory regulations against women civil servants. During this time, Lotte worked with Walther Nernst in regards to the Photo-Induced Chain Reaction of Chlorine and Hydrogen. They looked to find the mechanism for why this reactions is able to produce a large quantum yield. She held the position until 1920. By law, as a civil servant, she was required to relinquish her position to a returning man, in this case Dr. Kurt Bennwitz. In addition, she gave up her career in favor of her husband, the physical chemist Max Volmer. Personal Lotte and Max knew and socialized with the physicist Lise Meitner and the chemist Otto Hahn from the 1920s onwards. Lotte also documented some of these conversations between Lise and Max.

James Tartaglia

James Phillip Frank Tartaglia (born 29 October 1973) is a British philosopher who defends metaphysical idealism and existential nihilism, as well as a jazz saxophonist whose "jazz-philosophy fusion" combines jazz music with philosophical ideas. Biography Tartaglia was born in Portsmouth, England, and grew up in Hereford, where he started playing alto saxophone at age 11 after hearing Cannonball Adderley's recording of "Another Kind of Soul".  He was winner in the soloist category of the Daily Telegraph Young Jazz Competition in 1991 and successfully auditioned in Frankfurt for a scholarship to Berklee College of Music, Boston, where he studied from 1992-3; his saxophone teacher was George Garzone.  He began an economics degree at University College London in 1993, but soon switched to philosophy. He obtained a BA (1996), M.Phil. (1998) and Ph.D. (2001) in philosophy from UCL, where he studied with Tim Crane and J.J. Valberg.  He was Visiting Lecturer at the University of Birmingham from 2001-2 and then was appointed Lecturer in Philosophy at Keele University in 2002, where he stayed to become Professor of Metaphysical Philosophy in 2017; his inaugural lecture was a jazz-philosophy fusion performance entitled, “I’m Gonna Tell You the Meaning of Life”.  He is an Associate Editor at the journal Human Affairs. Philosophy Tartaglia argues that nihilism is an evaluatively neutral fact about reality; nihilism is not a negative state of affairs, as it is standardly assumed to be, nor a positive state of affairs, as per the 'Sunny Nihilism' defended by Wendy Syfret. When Tartaglia was questioned by Rowan Williams on BBC Radio 4's Moral Maze, Williams' line of questioning concerned the lack of moral guidance that his neutral nihilism offers. In response to a similar line of questioning from Rabbi Adam Jacobs, Tartaglia said the problem with using the meaning of life as a basis for moral judgements is that, "nobody's ever been able to agree on what it is." In a review of Philosophy in a Meaningless Life (2016) for Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, Guy Bennett-Hunter is sympathetic to Tartaglia's idealist 'transcendent hypothesis' but not his nihilism, arguing that there are various 'unstated affinities' between Tartaglia's views and those of Karl Jaspars, and that Jaspars, like David E. Cooper, manages to avoid nihilism by appealing to ineffability. A book symposium on Philosophy in a Meaningless Life was published in 2017, featuring responses to the book from Philip Goff, Ronald A. Kuipers, Tracy Llanera, Alan Malachowski, Bjørn Torgrim Ramberg, Brooke Alan Trisel and J.J. Valberg, among others. In Philosophy in a Technological World: Gods and Titans (2020), which Raymond Tallis endorsed as 'a major work of philosophy by one of the UK's most original philosophers', Tartaglia focuses on metaphysical idealism, for which he provides five arguments: the first about why there is anything at all, the second about consciousness, the third about the distinction between abstract and concrete, the fourth about the philosophy of time and the fifth about human history. In a review in Philosophy Now, Kieran Brayford writes that the 'book is terse, lively, and enjoyable' and that he would 'especially recommend it to those who feel instinctively rankled by its idealist leanings. There is enough in the book to maybe change your mind.' In popular writings and lectures about idealism, Tartaglia has emphasized its near universality within world culture and its ability to preserve common sense intuitions. Jazz A Free Jazz Treatise Concerning Current Affairs (2003) is an album of avant-garde jazz performed by two vocalists and a trio of tenor saxophone (Tartaglia), double bass and drums. It features five of Tartaglia's compositions that were inspired by news stories at the time: 'Paedophile Priest', 'Asylum Seeker', 'Economic Migrant', 'Peace Process' and 'Weapons of Mass Destruction'. In a review in Jazz Journal, Simon Adams wrote that, 'Treatise employs the musical language of Albert Ayler ... to explore some particularly difficult current issues. [...] This approach works extraordinarily well, the pieces - all first takes - mixing expressive solo tenor lines and childlike, often wordless singing over marching beats ... Not an easy listen, as if its subject matter would allow that, but certainly a hugely rewarding one.' Dark Metaphysic (2008) features a 'Free Funk Assembly' of two vocalists and six instrumentalists, including British jazz luminaries Annie Whitehead (trombone) and Jennifer Maidman (bass guitar). In a review for All About Jazz, Jeff Dayton-Johnson writes that the 'philosophical references accumulate pretty fast and furious—there's a piece dedicated to conceptual artist Bruce Nauman, who once dedicated a quizzical square of aluminum to John Coltrane (his John Coltrane Piece, 1969), as well as a song about Hermes Trismegistus, a mysterious combination of Hermes (Greek) and Thoth (Egyptian) who figures prominently in the philosophical systems of Anthony Braxton and Sun Ra'. Whitehead and Maidman also feature on Kooky Steps (2014), which includes a performance entitled 'Schopenhauer's Blues' in which University of Bristol philosopher Dagmar Wilhelm reads from the works of Schopenhauer as if she were tormenting vocalist Sonja Morgenstein with the cosmic pessimism being expressed; Tartaglia explains the concepts behind this performance in his article, 'Jazz-Philosophy Fusion'.

A Woman and a Girl Driving

A Woman and a Girl Driving is an oil-on-canvas painting by American Impressionist Mary Cassatt, created in 1881. It depicts the artist's sister Lydia alongside Odile Fèvre, the niece of Edgar Degas, in a carriage traveling through the Bois de Boulogne. Scholars have seen the painting as a representation of growing female autonomy in the Parisian public sphere, where driving one's own carriage signified independence. The painting is held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Accumulator 1

Accumulator 1 () is a 1994 film directed by Jan Svěrák. The film won the Grand Prize at the 7th Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival in February 1996. It won the audience award at the Tromsø International Film Festival in 1996. Plot Young surveyor Olda (Petr Forman) is courting a girl, Jitka (Tereza Pergnerová), but his colleague Slezák (Bolek Polívka) coaxes her into bed at his home. The morally exhausted Olda does not stop them, and watches TV all night, where he appeared that day in an absurd interview. He loses consciousness for three days and ends up in a hospital room with the ageing Mikulík (Jiří Kodet). That night, mysterious healer Fišarek (Zdeněk Svěrák) appears to help them, returning lost energy to Olda. Fišarek shows him how to take energy from trees, works of art and natural phenomena. When Mikulik dies, they examine his body and realize that he died watching TV, having lost all his energy. They meet his daughter Anna (Edita Brychta). Fišarek continues healing experiments on Olda with a company of mediums. On TV, they see an old teacher. The action moves into the television universe, inhabited by doppelgangers of people who have previously been on TV, who live a hedonistic party lifestyle, shamelessly feeding on energy from their real counterparts. Olda finds Anna in a phone book and takes her on a date. In a cafe, drunken Slezak comes up to them, wanting to take Anna away as well, but she rejects him. Arriving at Anna's house, the couple confess their feelings for each other and go to the bedroom to make love. However, Olda accidentally turns on the TV, which again steals his energy. When he arrives to tell Fišarek, he meets the teacher from the TV show, who has experienced the same thing and reached the same conclusion. The teacher flees to a remote village without a television, while Olda stays in Prague to be close to Anna. Even in the middle of nowhere, the teacher sees a TV, and again turns to Fišarek for help. Olda proposes marriage to Anna, but she reveals that she has a daughter. She tells him to meet her at the opera the next day. In the meantime, he buys some remote controls as protection against TV sets. Jitka visits him, complaining about Slezak and asking for forgiveness, but he rejects her and goes to meet Anna at the opera to see Nabucco. He absorbs energy from the art and goes into the street several times to store it in a batch of boards. After the opera, they drive back to Anna's. During a power cut, Olda reads Anna's daughter a fairy tale about a prince who defeated a witch by flooding her with life force from several people. He formulates a similar plan to destroy the television "mirror world", by oversaturating a TV set with energy from the charged boards. Meanwhile, the television alter-ego is symbolically buried by media personalities, being lowered off the ship into a landfill. "Dead" media personalities can still lie down and talk, but no longer have energy. For the majority, because their originals died, but for Olda, because his original knows about the situation and does not allow energy to be stolen. He decides to escape this hopeless surreal world. The next day, Olda gathers as much energy as possible from people in the city, and at night attempts to carry out his plan. He is interrupted by Slezak, who is looking for Jitka, and tries to start a fight, but is too drunk. Olda detonates the supply of boards in his apartment and sends the released energy across the bridge. It flows towards the television, but at the last moment Olda abandons his plan, realizing that he is standing in the path of the energy stolen from people. He releases the energy, which would otherwise destroy him, and the energy saves a falling plane instead. As the dust settles, Olda's tele-ego appears and they embrace and merge together. Slezak, who broke into Olda's apartment before the explosion, is arrested. The next morning, Olda calls Anna to apologize for the missed date and it is assumed that their relationship will continue normally. Television is no longer dangerous for him, but the global problem stays unsolved.

George Summerbee

George Summerbee (22 October 1914 – 19 April 1955) was an English professional footballer who played in The Football League for four clubs. He was father of Mike Summerbee and grandfather of Nicky Summerbee, who both played for Manchester City. Life Summerbee was born in Winchester, England and died in Cirencester, England. Playing and managerial career Summerbee began his professional career with Aldershot, who he joined from non-league side Basingstoke Town in May 1934. While at Aldershot he played alongside his brother Gordon. In January 1935 George joined Football League First Division side Preston North End for £650. In 11 years at Deepdale, Summerbee made just three Football League appearances. During this spell he also spent several years during the Second World War guesting for Portsmouth, where he made 149 competitive appearances while working at a nearby aircraft factory. He joined Football League Division Three North side Chester in May 1946 for £600, where again he struggled to earn a regular first-team place, and he moved to Barrow. He made more than 100 league appearances in three years at Holker Street, with his final Football League outing being against Lincoln City in May 1950. Summerbee then joined non-league side Cheltenham Town as player-manager in 1950, but he left in 1952 after his contract was not renewed. He died just three years later from Addison's disease, after a spell scouting for Bristol City. His life story is featured alongside the other footballing members of his family in Fathers, Sons and Football (Colin Shindler, Headline Book Publishing, 2001).

Pura Vida Bracelets is a La Jolla, California–based company that sells hand-crafted bracelets and jewelry online and through boutique stores. It was founded in 2010 by Griffin Thall and Paul Goodman, who discovered the bracelets while on a vacation in Costa Rica. Pura Vida means "pure life" in Spanish; in Costa Rica it is said frequently and has many meanings, such as hello, goodbye, or even to say thank you. In an interview, Thall and Goodman called the term "the slogan of Costa Rica, just like the word 'aloha' from Hawaii". About The company, which is based in La Jolla, California, was founded by Griffin Thall and Paul Goodman in 2010. Thall and Goodman traveled to Costa Rica together on vacation after graduating from San Diego State University, where they met a pair of bracelet makers named Joaquin and Jorge. They then purchased 400 bracelets for $100 to bring back to the United States. The pair initially sold their original stock at Planet Blue, a small boutique located in Malibu, California. By late 2013, Pura Vida had grown to a dozen US-based staff and 50 Costa Ricabased staff. As of July 2019, the company has over 650 employees that work to create these bracelets. Pura Vida also creates bracelets for charitable organizations, as a cause marketing fundraiser; bracelets are produced in a charitable organization's colors, and a portion of the sale of those bracelets goes to that charitable organization. In 2019, Vera Bradley purchased a 75% stakeholder share in Pura Vida’s parent company, Creative Genius. The 75% of the company was valued at $75 million. They have the option to purchase the remainder of the company in 2024.

Doron Weber

Doron Weber (born 1955) is an American author best known for his memoir, Immortal Bird: A Family Memoir, and a foundation executive. Born on a kibbutz in Israel in 1955, he attended Forest Hills High School in Forest Hills, New York where he was elected senior class president. Weber is a graduate of Brown University (B.A., 1977) and studied at the Sorbonne and Oxford University (M.A., 1981), where he was a Rhodes Scholar. He has held positions at the Readers Catalog, Society for the Right to Die, The Rockefeller University, and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, where he has created seminal programs in science and the arts. Immortal Bird Weber's memoir, Immortal Bird, the portrait of a teenager's short, vibrant life and the relationship between father and son, documents the family's navigation of the complex medical journey of Doron and Shealagh Weber's first child, Damon, who was born in 1988 with a congenital heart defect. The defect, a single ventricle, was successfully repaired, allowing him to lead a remarkably full life until he developed new complications as a teen. When he was 16, Damon received a successful heart transplant but then died of a post-transplant infection that was misdiagnosed as organ rejection and left untreated. The family brought suit in 2006 against New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center where their son was a patient but, as of 2013, the suit remains unresolved. In addition to being named by The Washington Post as one of “50 Notable Works of Non-Fiction” for 2012, Immortal Bird was listed as Amazon's Best Book of the Month, in February 2012 Indie NEXT List, and was one of nine official selections of the 2013 Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Circle, the oldest book club in America. The paperback was published in February, 2013. Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Work Since 1995, Weber has worked as a program director at the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, a nonprofit philanthropic organization that supports research and education in science, technology, and economic performance. As Vice President, Programs, Weber runs the Public Understanding of Science and Technology Program where he pioneered the synergistic use of media and the arts to translate science for the public. He has launched national programs in theater, film and television that commission, develop, produce, and distribute new work bridging the two cultures of science and the humanities. Grantees include Manhattan Theatre Club, Sundance Film Institute, National Geographic Television, PBS, National Public Radio, BAM, and World Science Festival. Weber also directs the Foundation's efforts to promote Universal Access to Knowledge by using emerging developments in digital information technology to make the benefits of human knowledge and human culture accessible to people everywhere. Grantees include Library of Congress, Internet Archive, Wikimedia Foundation, Harvard University and Digital Public Library of America. In 2012, Weber made a grant for a pilot meeting on rice science at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy that brought together scientists from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. Awards On behalf of the Foundation, he accepted the PBS Leadership Award for over a decade of support; the Nielsen Impact Award for Film from the Hollywood Reporter (2009); the Council of Foundation citation for “the visionary funding decisions of foundations in using media for their program goals” for a new web series, The Secret Life of Scientists (2010); and the Gold Communicator Award for a documentary about the Foundation's history, “Sloan at 75” (2011). His work at Sloan has been profiled in The New York Times, The Boston Globe, Fortune, Filmmaker Magazine, and The American Way. Weber also won the National Book Award's Literarian Award for Outstanding Service in 2018.

Wisconsin Highway 60

State Trunk Highway 60, often called Highway 60, STH-60 or WIS 60, is a state highway in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It runs east–west in southern Wisconsin from Prairie du Chien on the Mississippi River at the Iowa state line to the village of Grafton near Lake Michigan. Route description Iowa state line to Sauk Prairie WIS 60 begins at the Marquette–Joliet Bridge above the Mississippi River. Since US Highway 18 (US 18) and WIS 60 share the same bridge, both routes form a concurrency. At the eastern approach, the concurrency briefly becomes a one-way pair before turning south. For eastbound traffic, they utilize Iowa Street; for westbound traffic, they utilize Wisconsin Street. Before turning south on Main Street, they intersect WIS 27. After traveling south, they then briefly curve east just north of the Prairie du Chien Municipal Airport. Then, they travel southeastward via WIS 35 and the Great River Road. In Bridgeport, WIS 60 leaves the concurrency, continuing eastward. At this point, WIS 60 closely parallels the north side of the Wisconsin River. It then passes through Wauzeka, intersects WIS 131, passes through Boydtown, and then Easter Rock. At Easter Rock, WIS 60 runs concurrently with US 61 for more than . After leaving US 61, it passes through Westport, Sand Prairie, and Port Andrew. It then intersects WIS 193 south of Balmoral and WIS 80 north of Muscoda. Starting at Gotham, WIS 60 begins to run concurrently with US 14. At Lone Rock, WIS 130 travels eastward along the concurrency for . WIS 130 then leaves the concurrency and then joins WIS 133. Near Spring Green, WIS 23 briefly joins the concurrency. After that, WIS 60 branches off eastward while the others are going south/southeastward. WIS 60 continues to meander north of the Wisconsin River. West of Sauk City, WIS 60 runs concurrently with US 12 all the way towards downtown. In downtown Sauk City, WIS 60 turns northward along the west side of the river. As a result, it leaves US 12 while joins WIS 78. In Prairie du Sac, WIS 60 turns east, leaving WIS 78, and then crossing over the Wisconsin River. Sauk Prairie to Grafton After crossing the Wisconsin River, WIS 60 then meets WIS 188. Both routes then run concurrently eastward for around . After WIS 188 leaves WIS 60, WIS 60 continues eastward. This time, WIS 60 no longer parallels the Wisconsin River. In Lodi, it intersects WIS 113. In the middle of Lodi and Arlington, it meets I-39/I-90/I-94 at a parclo. Between Arlington and Leeds, it runs concurrently with US 51. Shortly after leaving US 51, it then meets WIS 22. In Columbus, WIS 60 begins to run concurrently with WIS 16. They then meet US 151 at a diamond interchange and then intersect WIS 73. Continuing east past Columbus, they then pass through Astico and Lowell. They then meet WIS 26 at a diamond interchange. At this point, WIS 16 turns south to get onto WIS 26. WIS 60 then passes through Hustisford, then intersects WIS 67 north of Neosho and WIS 83 in Hartford. In Slinger, it then intersects WIS 175 and then WIS 164. Then, it meets I-41/US 41 at a five-ramp parclo. It then meets US 45 at a diamond interchange in Jackson. Just northwest of Cedarburg, it intersects WIS 181. After passing through downtown Grafton, it then meets I-43/WIS 32/WIS 57 at a diamond interchange. At this point, WIS 60 ends there and continues on as County Trunk Highway Q (CTH-Q).

Grace Hayward (1868 – 1959) was an American playwright and actress. Early life Hayward was born in 1868 in Terre Haute, Indiana and in 1884, she moved to Mount Carmel, Illinois. Her father was a mail carrier and travel agent. At 13 years old, she ran away from home so that she could be a part of a medicine show. She raised money for feminists including Grace Hall Hemingway. She was married to Chicago theater mogul George Gatts. Career In 1901, Hayward started her own theater company with 15 actors, known as the Kerosene Circuit. The Kerosene Circuit performed at the Warrington Opera House from 1909 to 1914. The company performed new shows almost every Monday, including George M. Cohan musicals and comedies that were written by Hayward. The Kerosene Unit usually sold out of the 1,500 seats at the Warrington Opera House. Broadway actor Charles Dingle was a part of the theater company. Beginning around 1913, the company became unsuccessful with some of the actors joining the film industry. The company disbanded in 1920 and Hayward moved to Hollywood as a playwright and radio scriptwriter. Her 1936 play The CCC Murder Mystery was successful although a Syracuse Post-Standard reviewer stated that "no Broadway audience would appreciate it". Death and legacy Hayward died in 1959 in Hollywood. Doug Deuchler wrote a play about Hayward's life in 1990.

Walmer Bridge

Walmer Bridge is a small village in Lancashire, England. Surrounding villages are Much Hoole and Longton. History Walmer Bridge is first recorded in 1251 in the chartulary of Cockersand Abbey as Waldemurebruge. Walmer Bridge was once home to a large working mill which was working during the early 1900s. The factory closed in 1931 due to lack of funds. Three decades later, it was controlled demolition, in 1979. It is now the site of a sheltered housing estate called Old Mill Court. The West Lancashire Railway used to run through some parts of the village. Little Hoole Primary School is situated on Dob Lane, however it used to be located on the corner of School Street where it was opened in the 1930s. The Wilkins brothers, W & R Wilkins, owners of the malting down Marsh Lane in Longton, originally owned the Walmer Bridge Inn and the Longton Arms. Being a wealthy family, the Wilkins opened the new Methodist chapel in 1894, situated next to the modern day Spar shop. The chapel was knocked down in 2011 in favour of space for new retail outlets. Industry The number of local businesses is steadily increasing and the village is home to three hairdressers, two pubs, two convenience stores, a car spares shop, a butchers, a chip shop, an Indian takeaway and two motor vehicle service stations, one of which is also a petrol filling station. The village also boasts a luxury car distributor and a financial advisors as well as several farms. Walmer Bridge also has an ambulance station which serves the local area. Village Hall The village hall serves as a community hall. It has had an unfortunate past, including a fire that took place when propane canisters accidentally ignited, causing a lot of damage. It stands today as a brick building on Gill Lane. The fields at the back of the hall continue on over a small brook (part of the River Douglas) through to Dob Lane.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritiated%20water

Tritiated water

Tritiated water is a radioactive form of water in which the usual protium atoms are replaced with tritium. It is a colorless liquid. In its pure form it may be called tritium oxide (T2O or 3H2O) or super-heavy water. Pure T2O is a colorless liquid, and it is corrosive due to self-radiolysis. Diluted, tritiated water is mainly H2O plus some HTO (3HOH). It is also used as a tracer for water transport studies in life-science research. Furthermore, since it naturally occurs in minute quantities, it can be used to determine the age of various water-based liquids, such as vintage wines. The name super-heavy water helps distinguish the tritiated material from heavy water, which contains deuterium instead. Applications Tritiated water can be used to measure the total volume of water in one's body. Tritiated water distributes itself into all body compartments relatively quickly. The concentration of tritiated water in urine is assumed to be similar to the concentration of tritiated water in the body. Knowing the original amount of tritiated water that was ingested and the concentration, one can calculate the volume of water in the body. Amount of tritiated water (mg) = Concentration of tritiated water (mg/ml) × Volume of body water (ml) Volume of body water (ml) = [Amount of tritiated water (mg) − Amount excreted (mg)] / Concentration of tritiated water (mg/ml) Health risks The tritium contained in tritiated water (HTO) is radioactive and a low energy beta emitter. It is not dangerous externally as its beta particles are unable to penetrate the skin. It can be a radiation hazard if inhaled, ingested via food or water, or absorbed through the skin. While HTO is produced naturally by cosmic ray interactions in the stratosphere, it is also produced by human activities and can increase local concentrations and be considered an air and water pollutant. Anthropogenic sources of tritiated water include nuclear weapons testing, nuclear power plants, nuclear fuel reprocessing plants and consumer products such as self-illuminating watches and signs. Increasing concentrations of tritiated water in the environment increases exposure to living organisms. Organisms of varying complexity, from microorganisms to plants and animals can take up HTO, as they would H2O. Plants convert HTO into organically-bound tritium (OBT), and are consumed by animals. HTO is retained in humans for around 12 days, with a small portion of it remaining in the body. Tritium can be passed along the food chain as one organism feeds on another, although the metabolism of OBT is less understood than that of HTO. Tritium can incorporate to RNA and DNA molecules within organisms which can lead to somatic and genetic impacts. These can emerge in subsequent generations. HTO has a short biological half-life in the human body of 7 to 14 days, which both reduces the total effects of single-incident ingestion and precludes long-term bioaccumulation of HTO from the environment. The biological half life of tritiated water in the human body, which is a measure of body water turn-over, varies with the season. Studies on the biological half life of occupational radiation workers for free water tritium in a coastal region of Karnataka, India, show that the biological half life in the winter season is twice that of the summer season. If tritium exposure is suspected or known, drinking uncontaminated water will help replace the tritium from the body. Increasing sweating, urination or breathing can help the body expel water and thereby the tritium contained in it. However, care should be taken that neither dehydration nor a depletion of the body's electrolytes results as the health consequences of those things (particularly in the short term) can be more severe than those of tritium exposure.[citation needed] References Nuclear materials Forms of water Body water Tritium

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive%20voltage%20scaling

Adaptive voltage scaling

Adaptive voltage scaling (AVS) is a closed-loop dynamic power minimization technique that adjusts the voltage supplied to a computer chip to match the chip's power needs during operation. Many computer chips, especially those in mobile devices or Internet of things devices are constrained by the power available (for example, they are limited to the power stored in a battery) and face varying workloads. In other situations a chip may be constrained by the amount of heat it is allowed to generate. In addition, individual chips can vary in their efficiency due to many factors, including minor differences in manufacturing conditions. AVS allows the voltage supplied to the chip, and therefore its power consumption, to be continuously adjusted to be appropriate to the workload and the parameters of the specific chip. This is accomplished by integrating a device that monitors the performance of the chip (a hardware performance manager) into the chip, which then provides information to a power controller. AVS is similar in its goal to dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) and dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS). All three approaches aim to reduce power usage and heat generation. However AVS adapts the voltage directly to the conditions on the chip, allowing it to address real-time power requirements as well as chip-to-chip variations and changes in performance that occur as the chip ages. Background Technological advances have enabled very powerful and versatile computing systems to be implemented on smaller chips. As this allows a larger number of functions to take place in the same area, both current density and the associated power dissipation become more concentrated compared to larger chips. The power consumption and thermal performance of integrated circuits has become a limiting factor for high-performance systems. Mobile devices are also limited by the total amount of power available. Minimizing power consumption in digital CMOS circuits requires significant design effort at all levels. Supply voltage reduction is one way to achieve this, but static supply voltage reduction can reduce performance. Dynamic voltage scaling systems are used to adjust the supply voltage to the specific operations the chip is performing. However, conventional DVS systems do not directly monitor the performance of the chip and must therefore accommodate operation under worst-case performance scenarios. AVS aims to supply each individual domain of the system on the chip with just enough voltage to perform its task under the conditions actually experienced by the chip, minimizing power consumption per processor domain. Advantages of AVS Adaptive voltage scaling is a closed-loop DVS approach that evaluates different factors, such as process variations from device to device on a chip, temperature fluctuations during chip operations, and load variations, and establishes a voltage-frequency relationship for the circuit under those conditions. Each individual chip's process corner is determined either during manufacturing or during runtime and the optimal voltage-frequency relationship is determined and subsequently used for voltage optimization. The advantages offered by this approach are: Delivery of the desired voltage to every block of the system despite variations in temperature, process corner and frequency; Processor- and architecture-independent implementation of power reduction; Typical savings of about 55% compared to open-loop Dynamic Voltage Scaling approaches. Adaptive voltage scaling is used to address the energy-saving requirements of application-specific integrated circuits, microprocessors and system on a chip circuits. It is also well-suited for high-volume systems such as data centers and wireless base stations, as well as power-constrained applications such as portable devices, USB peripherals, and consumer electronics. Comparison between DVS and AVS The primary difference between DVS and AVS is that the former has an open loop control architecture whereas the latter is closed-loop. That is, in AVS there is direct feedback between the performance of the chip and the voltage provided to it. DVS A generic DVS system has a performance manager, a phase-locked loop and a voltage regulator. The performance manager uses a software interface to predict the performance requirements of the next task. Once the power requirements have been determined, the voltage and frequency are set by the performance manager. The phase-locked loop accomplishes the frequency scaling depending on the target frequency set by the performance manager. Similarly, the voltage regulator is programmed to scale the supply voltage in order to achieve the target voltage for the task. DVS systems use a one-to-one mapping of the voltage to frequency to perform the voltage scaling. Frequency-voltage pairs are determined by characterizing the chip's performance under worst-case conditions and stored in a lookup table. If conditions are more favorable, there may be a significant over-supply of power. AVS In closed-loop systems such as AVS, actual on-chip conditions are measured and used to determine the target voltage and frequency. Several different implementations of AVS have been developed. Critical Path Emulation One way to determine the voltage-frequency relationship of the chip is to use a critical path emulator. The emulator is tuned during the manufacturing process to closely model the behavior of the chip, and adapts to environmental and process variations. Measuring the behavior of the emulator allows the supply voltage to be automatically adjusted such that the minimum voltage is supplied for the target task. A ring oscillator that operates at the same voltage as that of the rest of the chip can be used as a critical path emulator. The ring oscillator's measured frequency indicates the voltage-frequency relationship for the chip under the conditions in which it is operating. Another type of emulator is a "delay chain" of inverters, NAND gates, wire segments, etc. The exact setting of the delay chain is determined during manufacturing after testing. The delay chain is then used to measure the time taken for a process to traverse the chain, simulating the performance of the chip. Both the ring oscillator and critical path methods suffer from the problem that they may not offer a perfect simulation of the operation of the chip, so that a safety margin must be included. Direct measurement of circuit behavior An alternative to simulating the behavior of the critical path is to measure circuit performance directly. One implementation of this approach, called Razor, is based on the idea that only a subset of input patterns will activate the longest timing path on the chip. If the voltage is too low, these input patterns will create a timing error. However, chips have error-correction systems built into them, so a low number of errors can be tolerated. The number of errors is measured and used as feedback to the power system: if the number of errors is very low, then the voltage can be dropped to save power; if the number of errors is above a certain threshold, then the voltage must be increased. Compensation for age-related performance degradation Over time, chips develop negative-bias temperature instability, which increases the voltage required to operate correctly. AVS can be used to mitigate this issue by increasing the voltage to match the new requirements of the system. This is possible only if the operational degradation due to temperature instability is accurately captured by the performance sensor in the AVS system.

Cordwalles consists of fifteen hectares of ground, an 'Inky' (pre-school to grade 2) block and Lecture Room, Theatre, Science Laboratory, Design & Technology Centre and Computer and Media Centres. There are over 300 boys taught by an academic and support staff of over 50. Most leavers go on to attend local private senior schools such as Hilton College, Kearsney College, Maritzburg College, St. Charles College and especially Michaelhouse. History Cordwalles Preparatory School was founded by Bishop Samuel Baines in 1912 when Michaelhouse moved from Pietermaritzburg to Balgowan and needing a preparatory school of its own to ensure its future enrolment. Cordwalles consisted of of land, a house and twelve boys. By 1917 the school encompassed of land, classrooms and dormitories. In the 1930s the Chapel, Gymnasium, Swimming Pool as well as additional classrooms, dormitories and land were added. During the Second World War numbers rose to one hundred and forty seven boys. From the 1950s further dormitories together with a Kitchen block, Sanatorium, and enlarged Dining Hall, Science Laboratory, Library and Staff Houses were constructed. The 1960s saw the development of the double storey block, the five sports fields and the four tennis courts.

Characteristic equation (calculus)

In mathematics, the characteristic equation (or auxiliary equation) is an algebraic equation of degree upon which depends the solution of a given th-order differential equation or difference equation. The characteristic equation can only be formed when the differential or difference equation is linear and homogeneous, and has constant coefficients. Such a differential equation, with as the dependent variable, superscript denoting nth-derivative, and as constants, will have a characteristic equation of the form whose solutions are the roots from which the general solution can be formed. Analogously, a linear difference equation of the form has characteristic equation discussed in more detail at Linear recurrence with constant coefficients#Solution to homogeneous case. The characteristic roots (roots of the characteristic equation) also provide qualitative information about the behavior of the variable whose evolution is described by the dynamic equation. For a differential equation parameterized on time, the variable's evolution is stable if and only if the real part of each root is negative. For difference equations, there is stability if and only if the modulus of each root is less than 1. For both types of equation, persistent fluctuations occur if there is at least one pair of complex roots. The method of integrating linear ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients was discovered by Leonhard Euler, who found that the solutions depended on an algebraic 'characteristic' equation. The qualities of the Euler's characteristic equation were later considered in greater detail by French mathematicians Augustin-Louis Cauchy and Gaspard Monge. Derivation Starting with a linear homogeneous differential equation with constant coefficients , it can be seen that if , each term would be a constant multiple of . This results from the fact that the derivative of the exponential function is a multiple of itself. Therefore, , , and are all multiples. This suggests that certain values of will allow multiples of to sum to zero, thus solving the homogeneous differential equation. In order to solve for , one can substitute and its derivatives into the differential equation to get Since can never equal zero, it can be divided out, giving the characteristic equation By solving for the roots, , in this characteristic equation, one can find the general solution to the differential equation. For example, if has roots equal to 3, 11, and 40, then the general solution will be , where , , and are arbitrary constants which need to be determined by the boundary and/or initial conditions. Formation of the general solution Solving the characteristic equation for its roots, , allows one to find the general solution of the differential equation. The roots may be real or complex, as well as distinct or repeated. If a characteristic equation has parts with distinct real roots, repeated roots, or complex roots corresponding to general solutions of , , and , respectively, then the general solution to the differential equation is Example The linear homogeneous differential equation with constant coefficients has the characteristic equation By factoring the characteristic equation into one can see that the solutions for are the distinct single root and the double complex roots . This corresponds to the real-valued general solution with constants . Distinct real roots The superposition principle for linear homogeneous differential equations says that if are linearly independent solutions to a particular differential equation, then is also a solution for all values . Therefore, if the characteristic equation has distinct real roots , then a general solution will be of the form Repeated real roots If the characteristic equation has a root that is repeated times, then it is clear that is at least one solution. However, this solution lacks linearly independent solutions from the other roots. Since has multiplicity , the differential equation can be factored into The fact that is one solution allows one to presume that the general solution may be of the form , where is a function to be determined. Substituting gives when . By applying this fact times, it follows that By dividing out , it can be seen that Therefore, the general case for is a polynomial of degree , so that . Since , the part of the general solution corresponding to is Complex roots If a second-order differential equation has a characteristic equation with complex conjugate roots of the form and , then the general solution is accordingly . By Euler's formula, which states that , this solution can be rewritten as follows: where and are constants that can be non-real and which depend on the initial conditions. (Indeed, since is real, must be imaginary or zero and must be real, in order for both terms after the last equals sign to be real.) For example, if , then the particular solution is formed. Similarly, if and , then the independent solution formed is . Thus by the superposition principle for linear homogeneous differential equations, a second-order differential equation having complex roots will result in the following general solution: This analysis also applies to the parts of the solutions of a higher-order differential equation whose characteristic equation involves non-real complex conjugate roots.

NXT TakeOver: Fatal 4-Way

NXT TakeOver: Fatal 4-Way was the second NXT TakeOver professional wrestling livestreaming event produced by WWE. It was held exclusively for wrestlers from the promotion's developmental territory, NXT. The event aired exclusively on the WWE Network and took place on September 11, 2014, at NXT's home base, Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida. It was also the promotion's second event to carry the Fatal 4-Way name, the first of which was WWE's eponymous pay-per-view in June 2010. The event consisted of six matches. In the main event, Adrian Neville defeated Sami Zayn, Tyler Breeze, and Tyson Kidd in the eponymous fatal four-way match to retain the NXT Championship. Also on the show, Charlotte defeated Bayley to retain the NXT Women's Championship, and The Lucha Dragons (Kailsto and Sin Cara) won the NXT Tag Team Championship from The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor). Japanese wrestler Hideo Itami also made his NXT debut at the show. Production Background In February 2014, WWE held an event titled TakeOver for their NXT brand, which at the time was a developmental territory for the promotion. The event aired exclusively on the WWE Network. WWE's next NXT event for the WWE Network was titled as NXT TakeOver: Fatal 4-Way. With the announcement of this second TakeOver event, the "TakeOver" name was established as the brand used by WWE for all of their NXT live specials held on the WWE Network. Fatal 4-Way was scheduled to take place on September 11, 2014, at NXT's home arena, Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida. WWE previously held a pay-per-view (PPV) titled Fatal 4-Way in 2010 for their Raw and SmackDown brands. It was a gimmick PPV, with several matches contested as fatal four-way matches. This 2010 event was the only WWE PPV to carry the Fatal 4-Way name, after which, the promotion revived the name for this second NXT TakeOver event. Like the 2010 event, TakeOver: Fatal 4-Way was also a gimmick show, as the main event was contested as the titular match. Storylines The card comprised six matches. The matches resulted from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches. Results were predetermined by WWE's writers on the NXT brand, while storylines were produced on their weekly television program, NXT. On February 27, 2014, Adrian Neville defeated Bo Dallas to win the NXT Championship at Arrival. On the May 8 episode of NXT a 20-man battle royal with the winner facing Neville for the NXT Championship ended in a 3-way tie between Sami Zayn, Tyson Kidd, and Tyler Breeze. The next week, Kidd won a Triple Threat match between the three to earn a title match at the first TakeOver, which he lost. That same night, Tyler Breeze cheated his way to victory over Sami Zayn to earn a title match. After this, Neville, Zayn, Breeze and Kidd became involved in a 4-way feud, leading to a fatal four-way match for the title at the event. In August 2013, Bayley started to team with Charlotte on a regular basis, but they were almost immediately targeted by the BFFs ("Beautiful Fierce Females", Summer Rae and Sasha Banks) as they attempted to convince Bayley to join their side. This storyline culminated with Charlotte turning on Bayley during a match, promptly joining the BFFs instead. On May 1, 2014, Bayley failed to advance in a tournament for the vacant NXT Women's Championship after losing to Sasha in the first round. On June 12, Bayley earned a pinfall over Charlotte, the new NXT Women's Champion, in a six-woman tag team match. In August, Bayley defeated Sasha Banks to become the #1 contender for the Women's championship held by Charlotte. Event Preliminary matches The event opened with The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor) defending the NXT Tag Team Championship against The Lucha Dragons (Kalisto and Sin Cara). The match ended when Kalisto executed a "Salida Del Sol" on Viktor to win the title. In the second match, Baron Corbin fought CJ Parker. Corbin executed the "End of Days" on Parker, scoring a pin after only 29 seconds. After this, Sylvester Lefort and Enzo Amore faced each other in a hair vs. hair match. Amore pinned Lefort with a roll-up for the win. As Lefort quickly left after the match, his partner Marcus Louis had his hair cut instead. NXT General manager William Regal introduced Kenta, who was making his debut. During his introduction, Kenta announced that he would be known as "Hideo Itami" (meaning "Hero of Pain") from that point on. Moments later, they were interrupted by The Ascension, who were still angry over losing their NXT Tag Team Championship, and they attacked Itami. Konnor demanded a rematch, but Itami attacked The Ascension and chased them away. The fourth match saw Bull Dempsey wrestle Mojo Rawley. Dempsey executed a diving headbutt on Rawley for the win. In the penultimate match, Charlotte defended the NXT Women's Championship against Bayley. The match ended when Charlotte executed "Natural Selection" on Bayley to retain the title. Main event In the main event, Adrian Neville defended the NXT Championship against Sami Zayn, Tyler Breeze and Tyson Kidd in a fatal-four-way match. During the match, Kidd executed a swinging fisherman's neckbreaker on Zayn for a near-fall. Breeze executed a "Beauty Shot" on Zayn, a "Supermodel Kick" to Kidd and a dropkick in mid-air on Neville. After Neville executed a shooting star press on Zayn, Breeze threw Neville out of the ring and pinned Zayn for a near-fall. Zayn executed a "Helluva Kick" on Kidd, but Neville broke up the pinfall attempt by pulling the referee out of the ring. Neville then performed a "Red Arrow" on Kidd to retain the title.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristocles%20of%20Messene

Aristocles of Messene

Aristocles of Messene (; ), in Sicily, was a Peripatetic philosopher, who probably lived in the 1st century AD. Life Little is known about the life of Aristocles. He came from Messene in Sicily (Messana, now Messina), not from the then far better known city of Messene in the Peloponnese. There are some indications that he stayed in Alexandria. In earlier research he was wrongly considered to be the teacher of the famous Peripatetic Alexander of Aphrodisias. It was erroneously believed that the philosopher Aristotle of Mytilene whom Alexander mentions as his teacher was actually Aristocles and that the name "Aristotle" was a misspelling. This assumption led to a late dating of Aristocles' lifetime (second half of the 2nd century). In more recent research however, it is assumed that he lived around the turn of the millennium. This is supported both by linguistic evidence and by the fact that he refers to the work of the philosopher Aenesidemus, dating to the first half of the 1st century B.C. in a way the suggests that that work had been published recently. Works According to the Suda and Eudokia, Aristocles wrote several works: Πότερον σπουδαιότερος Ὅμηρος ἢ Πλάτων – Whether Homer or Plato is more Worthy. Τέχναι ῥητορικαί – Arts of Rhetoric. A work on the god Serapis. A work on Ethics, in nine books. A work on Philosophy, in ten books. The last of these works appears to have been a history of philosophy in which he wrote about the philosophers, their schools, and doctrines. Although it has been lost, several fragments of it are preserved in Eusebius' work Praeparatio Evangelica. Philosophy Aristocles proves to be a faithful follower of Aristotle, whose teachings he intended to promote. Asclepius of Tralles and John Philoponus, in their commentaries on Nicomachus of Gerasa's Introduction to Arithmetic, reproduce five meanings of the word "wise" that were set out in the treatise On Philosophy. Aristocles connected the five uses of the word with a theory of five levels of human culture. According to this teaching, the survivors of natural disasters (plagues and especially great floods like that of the time of Deucalion) were forced to rediscover inventions such as agriculture because of the lack of food. Such devising was considered "wisdom" at the time. In the second phase of development, they devised arts that were no longer just for survival, but also for aesthetic purposes, such as architecture. Such inventions were then considered a sign of wisdom. In the third epoch, people turned to political affairs and introduced laws and rules that served to organize coexistence in cities. Such was the activity of the seven sages who discovered political science. The fourth epoch brought the understanding of bodies (natural things) and the nature (physis) that produces them; this was called contemplation of nature. Those who deal with it are called sages in the field of natural things (natural philosophy). At the fifth level of culture there was a turning to the divine, transcendental and completely unchangeable beings; knowledge of this realm was called wisdom in the highest sense (metaphysics). The research considers the hypothesis that this philosophy of history put forward by Aristocles, with its concept of gradual progress, is at least partly based on a lost writing by the young Aristotle such as his dialogue "On Philosophy" and his Protrepticus. Aristocles also opposes criticisms of Aristotle and strives to prove them nonsensical. While he shows great respect for Plato, he polemicized against other philosophical tendencies, whose teachings he cleverly tried to refute with the means of an Aristotelian argument, which makes him a valuable doxographical source on other philosophical doctrines in the history of philosophy, especially Pyrrhonism, with which he deals extensively. However, his descriptions of other philosophical doctrines are sometimes marred by his polemical attitude or a lack of expertise. His account contains information not only about the views of the early Pyrrhonean skeptics, Pyrrho of Elis and Timon of Phlius, but also about later Pyrrhonists including Aenesidemus. He criticizes the tenets of the skeptics and, moreover, tries to show that it is impossible to live consistently according to their principles; through the renunciation of judgments and the resultant abolition of moral concepts, respect for the law is destroyed and the floodgates are wide open to crime. A life according to skeptical principles is contrary to nature; it is impossible for man to have no opinion. Aristocles formulates his arguments polemically, prefers to use rhetorical questions and does not mention important counter-arguments of the skeptics; it is unclear whether he did not know exactly the opponent's position or whether he deliberately withheld counter-arguments. His confrontation with the views of the Epicureans, about which he was apparently better informed, is on a much higher level. On the one hand he opposes the sensualism and subjective character of experience of the perception based theories of the Epicureans, and on the other hand also against the opposite position, according to which only a cognition of reason that is not dependent on perception deserves trust (Eleatics and, according to Aristocles' understanding, the Megarian school. However, he reproduces the epistemology of the Cyrenaics in a polemically distorted form.

Queenstown Police Station

Queenstown Police Station is the largest police station in the Otago Lakes Central Area which is one of three policing areas in the Southern District of the New Zealand Police. The Otago Lakes Central Area headquarters has returned to Queenstown Police Station after a period at Alexandra Police Station. The area of responsibility covered by the Queenstown Police extends from Kingston in the south, to the Crown Range summit in the north, and from Glenorchy and its environs in the west, to the Roaring Meg power station in the Kawarau Gorge in the east. History The police station site has been used since gold was found nearby in Arrowtown and on the banks of the Shotover River in 1862. The adjacent historic Court House was built between 1875 and 1877 after operating out of tents. The police station is at 11 Camp Street, and Queenstown was known as 'the Camp'. The station opened in November 1862. By March 1863 more than 1000 people lived in the town and the police force consisted of an Officer, a Foot Sergeant, a Mounted Constable, eight Foot Constables, a Detective and four horses. There were also police officers at Arrowtown (7), Frankton (1), Arthurs Point (2) and Maori Point (1). The Gold Escort was distinct from the police; contracted to Cobb and Co. Near Skippers and along the Shotover, branch escorts transported prisoners who were shackled to posts halfway along. The escort troopers were armed with carbines and swords. The Otago Daily Times reported that robberies were numerous and frequent drunkenness prevalent, with pick-pocketing complaints common. Claim jumping and stick-ups were also common. In 1867 there were police stations at Queenstown, Arrowtown, Frankton, Skipper's, Maori Point, Nevis, Nokomai and Cardrona. Almost daily practically all the police staff at Queenstown Station travelled to Frankton where the first court sat in McBride Street. The courthouse later became the Presbyterian church. First buildings The original police station in Queenstown can be seen at the same site in early photographs with a stable, small cell, and house alongside. The stone bridge at the Hotop's Rise end of the station grounds was built by prisoners. In July 1960, with the closure of the Arrowtown station, Constable Leo Daly took charge of Queenstown station and renovations were made. The police house was beside the station. By 1998 the police station included the former police house and was home to a senior sergeant, a detective sergeant and two detectives, fifteen constables, two sergeants, a community constable, a watchhouse keeper, and three non-sworn staff. The station was cramped with one room doubling as interview room, breath testing room, and exhibit office. New building The current police station was designed by architects Mason and Wales and opened on Friday 10 July 1998 by Hon. Jack Elder, minister of police. It was built by Amalgamated Builders at a cost of $2.3 million. The exterior is modelled to suit the historic precinct where it is situated. The land is owned by Māori tribe Ngāi Tahu. Staff The station is staffed over three rotating shifts by five sections each composed of one sergeant and one to three constables. In addition to this are: An Inspector in charge of the Otago Lakes Central Area, ("Area Commander"). A Senior Sergeant in charge of crime prevention for the Otago Lakes Central Area, ("Area Prevention Manager"). A Senior Sergeant, in charge of response for the Queenstown area, ("Response Manager") A prevention sergeant, also responsible for the coordination of family violence offending, at the rank of Sergeant. A community constable/prevention officer at the rank of Constable. A police prosecutor, at the rank of Sergeant, and a prosecutions assistant. A youth aid officer, at the rank of Constable. A Detective Senior Sergeant in charge of criminal investigations in the Otago Lakes Central Area. A Detective Sergeant and four Detectives. A field intelligence officer at the rank of Constable. A Senior Sergeant in charge of road policing for the Otago Lakes Central Area. A Sergeant in charge of road policing for the Queenstown area. Eight road policing Constables. An information technology engineer for the Otago Lakes Central Area. Three watch house officers and a station support officer. An area executive officer. A Sergeant and six Constables are based at the Queenstown Airport, working at the airport, on the roads near the airport, and when the airport closes continuing their shift in Queenstown. Airport staff numbers were increased slightly when night flights began at the airport. Notable police officers Sergeant Major Hugh William Bracken In 1862, Irishman Sergeant Major Hugh William Bracken arrived in Arrowtown as part of the Otago Mounted Police. Bracken had fought in the Crimean War for the British Army's 5th Inniskilling Dragoons so was no stranger to battle, conquest and resolution. A Protestant and a loyalist, his imposing frame and immense power proved priceless in the rugged, untouched wilderness of Central Otago. He gave up his position with the police to partner William Rees running the Queen's Arms Hotel, later – as Bracken did most of the work – it became known as "Bracken's". Hugh Bracken was instrumental in forming Queenstown in 1863 and 4. He superintended the nightwatch, and would often patrol at night with his revolver. He was elected to the Queenstown Improvement Committee, and helped to fundraise for a hospital. He helped found the Masonic Lodge and the Jockey Club. At the end of 1864 he sold Bracken's hotel to Captain Albert Eichardt This hotel is now Eichardt's, a Queenstown landmark. Bracken moved to Hokitika, following the gold rush with his brother, where they set up hotels there and in Greymouth. Two years later they returned to Australia and following their mother's death in Ireland a year later, Hugh returned home to County Fermanagh where he married and had three children. St. John Branigan Mr. Commissioner St. John Branigan was in charge of the Otago police. He came to Queenstown early in 1863 to organise the receiving of the gold and the protection of the gold escort. Prior to serving in the Victorian Mounted Police, he had taken part in the Kaffir Wars of 1850-1852 with the Cape Police. His office was a tent with a board for a table, and he had no scales. Until this point miners had been keeping large sums of money in gin boxes or other insecure places. Some would come to leave their cash with Bracken at the Queen's Arms Hotel. Major Richardson at the Arrow heard of one calico tent with over £100,000 in saddlebags on the floor, guarded by one cook. The township of Kingston was formerly known as 'St. John's', named after Branigan. Sergeant McKenzie The sergeant in charge of the Queenstown Police Station in 1900, Sergeant McKenzie was possibly the first to raise objections about liquor licensing. He was described at the time as an alert and circumspect officer, who has done much good service in his present capacity . In June 1900 he opposed the granting of 11.00pm licences on the grounds that; 'it is not to be tolerated that tourists landing at Queenstown at 10 o'clock, or later, should find the hotels in semi-darkness, and the whole town on a night footing. This is evidently out of the question. In the second place the tighter restrictions are drawn the greater will be the attempt to evade them. Such a step would mean the creation of irksome trouble for the police, the courts, and publicans and sinners all round. Fortunately the time is not yet.' Social media presence Queenstown police were the first to use Facebook to identify and apprehend an offender. In January 2009 Michael James Ede and another man were charged, after Ede bungled a burglary. He removed his balaclava after becoming too hot, while trying to cut into a safe with an angle grinder. The video of the burglary was uploaded to Facebook and he was identified soon afterwards. The Queenstown Police Facebook fan page reached a peak of around 7,000 fans and was replicated around New Zealand. In mid 2016 the site was absorbed into the Southern District police Facebook page. Each District now has its own Facebook page, and other pages have been amalgamated into these.

Millicent Simmonds

Millicent Simmonds (born March 6, 2003) is a deaf American actress who starred in the 2018 horror film A Quiet Place and its 2020 sequel A Quiet Place Part II. Her breakout role was in the 2017 drama film Wonderstruck. For Wonderstruck and A Quiet Place, she was nominated for several awards for best youth performance. In television, she appeared in Andi Mack in 2018 and in This Close in 2019. Background Simmonds grew up in Bountiful, Utah in the United States. She has four siblings; two older and two younger than her. Prior to turning 12 months old, Simmonds lost her hearing due to a medication overdose. Her mother learned American Sign Language and taught the family so they could communicate with her. Simmonds said without her family using ASL, "I wouldn't have a relationship with my own family, I wouldn't have communication." Simmonds also has a cochlear implant. Simmonds's mother also encouraged her to read books extensively. When Simmonds was three years old, she started attending the Jean Massieu School of the Deaf, where she participated in its drama club. Her first play was in A Midsummer Night's Dream as Puck. After completing sixth grade, she mainstreamed at the Mueller Park Junior High School in the fall of 2015. She has performed at the Utah Shakespeare Festival in Cedar City, Utah, and her primary film experience before Wonderstruck was a deaf student's short, "Color the World". Acting career Wonderstruck and A Quiet Place Simmonds was 12 years old when she was cast for the film Wonderstruck, which was then released in 2017. She had read the deaf-themed juvenile novel Wonderstruck when it was published in 2011. When open casting for the film began, her former drama teacher shared the news with her, and she auditioned for a role in the film. She competed with over 250 others. When she won the role, she moved to New York City with her mother and her younger siblings to film Wonderstruck. She used American Sign Language interpreters to communicate on set and also received a tutor to continue schoolwork while filming. Vanity Fairs Charles Bramesco said of her casting, "A Utah native without any major film credits to her name, young Simmonds is expected to make quite a splash both as a new face in the industry as well as an icon for deaf and otherwise sensory-disabled actors." When Wonderstruck premiered at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, the Associated Press's Jake Coyle said Simmonds's screen debut was "hailed as a breakthrough". Simmonds was subsequently nominated for several awards for best youth performance (see accolades). The Associated Press also recognized Simmonds as one of eight actors who were Breakthrough Entertainers of 2017. In 2018, Simmonds starred in the horror film A Quiet Place as the deaf daughter of a hearing couple, played by John Krasinski and Emily Blunt. While the producers did not specifically plan to cast a deaf actress to play the deaf daughter, Krasinski, who was also the director, pushed to have a deaf actress. Simmonds and her family answered Krasinski's questions for writing a screenplay about a family with a deaf child. The filmmakers hired an ASL interpreter for Simmonds, so that signed and spoken language could be interpreted fluently on set. Simmonds helped teach her fellow actors to sign. TV roles and return to A Quiet Place In 2018, Simmonds appeared in a two-episode arc in the third season of the Disney Channel television series Andi Mack. She had first appeared as an extra in the first season, and the series creators invited her back for a recurring role. For her arc, Simmonds taught the other actors how to use ASL, and the showrunners decided to show her scenes involving ASL without providing subtitles so viewers could focus on figuring out the sign language. In one of the episodes, Simmonds also spoke for the first time ever on-camera, responding audibly "I like you" in response to Asher Angel's character Jonah signing "I like you" to her character. Simmonds said of the spoken dialogue, "I can't even remember how it was brought up or who had the idea, but I remember my mom asking me how I felt about it, and I told her I thought I could try. I was actually pretty nervous about it. I don't use my voice a lot in public." In the following year, Simmonds appeared in an episode of the second season of This Close. In October, Simmonds was cast in a lead role in the pilot for the TV series Close Up on Freeform, and production took place later in the year in Vancouver. By May 2020, Freeform passed on the pilot. Simmonds also reprised her role in the sequel film A Quiet Place Part II, which filmed in the middle of 2019. John Krasinski, who also directed the sequel, said, "I had this small idea, which was to make Millie [Simmonds] the lead of the movie... her character opens the door to all the themes I was dealing with in the first movie." The film had its world premiere in March 2020, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, its commercial release was postponed to May 2021. Grey House and projects in development Simmonds starred in the short film Bumblebees which premiered on June 11, 2022, at Tribeca Film Festival. She also appeared in the Broadway adaptation of Levi Holloway's play Grey House, which premiered on May 30, 2023. Entertainment Weeklys Emlyn Travis wrote, "Simmonds, who is deaf, performs the tunes in American Sign Language alongside her costars, who... also sign with and interpret for her character throughout the performance in an excellent display of representation and accessibility on stage." In July 2021, Simmonds partnered with Circle of Confusion Television Studios to star in and executive produce a TV adaptation of the 2022 deaf-themed book True Biz by Sara Nović. In the following October, Simmonds was cast as the deafblind historical figure Helen Keller for the film Helen & Teacher with principal photography planned at the time to start in mid-2022. Neither project has yet moved past the development stage. In February 2023, Simmonds was cast in the action-thriller film Ballerina Overdrive. Deaf advocacy Following Simmonds's 2017 debut in Wonderstruck, a Utah-based news outlet reported, "Millie plans to continue both acting and advocating for the deaf community." In 2019, after starring in A Quiet Place, Simmonds received the Greenwich International Film Festival's Make An Impact Award and participated in the festival's panel to discuss cinematic representation of people with disabilities. In 2020, with the commercial release of A Quiet Place Part II being postponed to the following year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Simmonds and a speech-language pathology clinical fellow designed a face mask that includes a transparent panel to allow lip-reading and facial expressions to be seen. Simmonds partnered with fair-trade fashion brand Rafi Nova to make the masks and to have net proceeds go to deaf and hard-of-hearing organizations. She also participated in a virtual panel hosted by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences about representation of creative figures with disabilities, as part of the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Toward the end of the year, the teenage magazine Seventeen recognized Simmonds among 15 recipients of Voices of the Year 2020 for their vision and activism. With deaf characters historically played by hearing actors, or sign language obscured by the editing process, Simmonds considers her films Wonderstruck, A Quiet Place, and A Quiet Place Part II as "a corrective" to that history.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brenner%20Autobahn

Brenner Autobahn

The Brenner Autobahn ( or , ) refers to a major European truck route that connects Innsbruck in Austria to Verona in northern Italy. Numbered as the A13 in the Austrian section, the motorway is relatively short and entirely located within the state of Tyrol. Upon reaching the Italy-Austria border at the Brenner Pass (), the motorway becomes A22 in Italy and runs to Verona and then to Modena, where it connects to the A1 motorway between Milan and Rome. It is part of the major European route E45. The historic Brenner Pass is the one of the lowest among the Central Eastern Alps; this favourable location was therefore suitable for building the first motorway crossing among the Alpine main chains. Unlike other higher passes across the Alps, the Brenner Pass remains open all year round. Construction of the motorway began in 1959 and the Brenner Autobahn, including the Bridge of Europe (Europe's highest motorway bridge then), was partially open in 1963. Route Austria The A13 begins in the south of Innsbruck from the east–west motorway A12 Inntal Autobahn (Inn Valley Motorway), which links Bregenz in western Austria to Kufstein near the border of Bavaria in Germany. At above sea, the Brenner Autobahn climbs up the Wipptal (Wipp Valley), passes by the villages Steinach and Gries-am-Brenner, and reaches the Brenner Pass at above sea. Italy After the Italy-Austria border, the A22 motorway begins its gradual descent through the Eisack Valley. It passes by the towns of Sterzing and Brixen before arriving outside Bolzano at above sea. After Bolzano, the motorway continues to Auer, Trento, Rovereto, Ala and meets the A4 Milan-Venice Highway west of Verona. Beyond Verona, the motorway continues to Mantua and Modena, where it terminates and meets the A1 motorway. Tolls The Brenner Autobahn is a toll route in both Austria and Italy. When travelling on the Austrian A13, drivers are required to pay extra tolls (), either by credit card or cash at the toll plaza at the Schönberg im Stubaital junction or via a Videomaut prepaid system. As the Brenner Autobahn is a so-called special toll section (), it is exempt from the toll vignette usually obligatory on Austrian motorways and expressways.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tied%20Test

Tied Test

A Tied Test is a Test cricket match in which the side batting second is bowled out in the fourth innings, with scores level. This is a very rare result; only two ties have occurred in the 2,494 Tests played since 1877. The first was in 1960 and the second in 1986. On both occasions, the aggregate scores of both sides (teams) were equal at the conclusion of play and the side batting last had completed its final innings: 10 batsmen had been dismissed or, from the perspective of the side bowling, 10 wickets had been taken. In other words, after four completed innings, with each innings ending either by a declaration or 10 wickets having fallen, the runs for both teams were exactly the same. In cricket, a tie is distinct from a draw, a much more common result in Tests, which occurs when play concludes without victory by either team (except where a Test has been formally abandoned). Both tied Tests involved the Australia national cricket team. Both ended in the last possible over of play on the last day with a ball to spare, meaning that within the space of several minutes all four normal Test match results were possible: a win for the batting side, a win for the fielding side, a draw or a tie. Bob Simpson is the only person to be involved in both tied tests – as a player for Australia in the first, and as the Australian team coach in the second. First tied Test, 1960 The first tied Test was played between the West Indies and Australia. The match was played at the Brisbane Cricket Ground, known as "the Gabba", in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, between 9 and 14 December 1960. West Indies 1st innings After a disastrous start of 65–3, Garfield Sobers made a rapid 132 in 174 minutes. Alan Davidson took 5–135. West Indies were all out for 453 runs. Australia 1st innings Norm O'Neill made 181 in 401 minutes. Australia were all out for 505, a lead of 52. West Indies 2nd innings Alan Davidson took 6–87 and West Indies made 284, setting Australia a target of 233 runs to win. Australia 2nd innings Davidson and Australian captain Richie Benaud set an Australian 7th-wicket partnership record of 134 in matches against the West Indies. Last over Wes Hall was bowling, with the clock showing 5:56 pm. Australia stood at 227–7, needing six runs to win from the 8-ball over (the standard for tests in Australia at the time) with three wickets in hand. 1st ball: Wally Grout, facing, was hit on the thigh. Benaud called him through for a single to take strike. Five runs were needed to win from seven balls. 2nd ball: Benaud attempted a hook shot but was caught behind by wicket-keeper Gerry Alexander. The score was 228–8. 3rd ball: The new batsman, Ian Meckiff, cut to mid-off. No run. Still five runs to win from five balls. 4th ball: The ball flew down leg-side without making contact with Meckiff's bat. Grout called him through for a bye. Alexander threw the ball to the bowler's end to try to run out Meckiff, but his throw missed and Meckiff made his ground. Four runs to win from four balls. 5th ball: Grout fended a bouncer to square leg, where Rohan Kanhai was ready to take the catch. Hall also attempted to take the catch in his follow-through, resulting in a fielding mix-up which allowed Meckiff and Grout take a single and the catch was not taken. Three runs to win from three balls. 6th ball: Meckiff swung desperately and sent the ball towards the mid-wicket boundary. The batsmen ran two runs as Conrad Hunte scooped the ball up just inside the fence. The batsmen attempted a third run for victory but Hunte's return was flat and true, straight into the gloves of Alexander, who whipped off the bails before Grout could get home. The teams were tied. Australia were on 232–9, requiring one run to win with one wicket in hand and two balls remaining. 7th ball: The new batsman, Lindsay Kline, pushed the ball to square leg and set off for a single. Joe Solomon scooped up the ball and, with one stump to aim for from 12 metres out, threw the ball in and hit the stumps, running Meckiff out by a few inches. Australia were all out for 232 and the match ended in the first tie in 84 years of Test cricket. Second tied Test, 1986 The second tied test was the first Test of a three Test series, played between Australia and India, at the M. A. Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk, Madras, in India between 18 and 22 September 1986. The conditions were said to be extremely hot and humid. Australia 1st innings Australia declared at 574 for 7 early on the third day. Dean Jones made 210, which was then the highest score by an Australian side in a Test in India, having faced 330 balls and hit 27 fours and 2 sixes. He had to be treated in hospital after the completion of the innings for heat exhaustion. Australian coach Bob Simpson described it as "the greatest innings ever played for Australia". David Boon scored 122, and Australian captain, Allan Border, 106. India 1st innings India lost 7 wickets for 270 runs by the end of the third day, and were all out for 397, avoiding the follow on by only 23 runs and trailing by 177. Indian captain Kapil Dev made 119 and Greg Matthews took 5–103 wearing a sweater to prove his toughness. Sunil Gavaskar became the first Test cricketer to make 100 consecutive Test appearances. Australia 2nd innings Australia declared at 170 for 5, their overnight score at the end of the fourth day, setting India a target of 348 to win. India 2nd innings Starting positively, India reached 204 for 2, when Gavaskar was third out for 90. India reached 291 for 5 when Chandrakant Pandit was out. A flurry of tail-end wickets fell to leave India on 344 for 9 by the last over. Last over Greg Matthews was bowling to Ravi Shastri, with India's last man Maninder Singh at the bowler's end. India needed four runs to win from the 6-ball over with only one wicket remaining. 1st ball: To Shastri: no run. Four runs required off five balls. 2nd ball: Shastri took two runs, retaining the strike. Two runs required off four balls. 3rd ball: Shastri pushed the ball to square leg for a single. The scores were tied, with one run required for victory, but the Indian 11th man was now on strike. 4th ball: To Singh: no run. One run required off two balls. 5th ball: The ball hit Singh on his back leg and umpire Vikramraju called him out leg before wicket after a loud appeal. India were all out for 347, Matthews having taken 5–146 (10–249 in the match) and Ray Bright 5–94, and the match was the second tie in Test cricket. Dean Jones and Kapil Dev were joint Men of the Match. Draws with scores level In addition to the two tied Tests, there have been two Tests which ended when time expired with the scores level in the fourth innings, but with the batting side still having wickets in hand. This results in a drawn match and not a tie. The first such Test was in 1996, between Zimbabwe and England at Bulawayo, when England, chasing 205 to win, finished on 204–6. With three runs required for victory off the final ball, Nick Knight ran two but was run out attempting the third. The second such Test was in 2011, between India and the West Indies at Mumbai, when India, chasing 243 to win, finished on 242–9. With two runs required off the final ball, Ravichandran Ashwin completed the first run and was run out attempting the second.

OMG 2

OMG 2 is a 2023 Indian Hindi-language comedy-drama film about sex education in Indian schools, written and directed by Amit Rai. It is a spiritual sequel to OMG – Oh My God! (2012), and stars Akshay Kumar, Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam. The film was theatrically released on 11 August 2023 to positive reviews from critics. It has grossed over worldwide, emerging as the seventh highest-grossing Hindi film of 2023. Premise OMG 2 is the story of Kanti Sharan Mudgal, a staunch devotee of Lord Shiva; a simple man, a loving father and a caring husband. One day his son, is blamed for immoral conduct (coming out as gay) and is thrown out of school. Upon confrontation, Kanti realises that his son has been a victim of misinformation and misguidance. Grief struck and unable to handle the crisis, Kanti decides to leave the town with his family, until he has a divine intervention that steers him towards the truth. Kanti then decides to take on everyone responsible by taking them to the court. Cast Production Development and casting The film was initially rumoured to be in making in January 2021 with Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal returning as leads post the first part, but Rawal denied the reports. In June 2021, the sequel to OMG was finally confirmed with a new storyline starring Kumar. Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam were roped in as new additions that same month, while Arun Govil joined the cast in November 2021 as Principal. Filming Tripathi began the first schedule of the film on 2 September 2021 in Mumbai. Akshay Kumar joined the sets in second schedule on 23 October 2021. The third schedule of the film commenced in December 2021. Music The music of the film is composed by Vikram Montrose, Hansraj Raghuwanshi, Djstrings, Pranaay and Sandesh Shandilya while lyrics written by Kabeer Shukla, Hansraj Raghuwanshi, Djstrings, Shekhar Astitwa, Ginny Diwan and Sandesh Shandilya. The first single titled "Oonchi Oonchi Waadi" was released on 18 July 2023. The second single titled "Har Har Mahadev" was released on 27 July 2023. Marketing The first look of the poster of the film featuring Akshay Kumar as Lord Shiva was launched in October 2021. The teaser of the film was released on 11 July 2023. The official trailer of the film was released on 3 August 2023. Certification and release The Central Board Of Film Certification advised 20 cuts in the film's screenplay and an (A) (Adults Only) certificate, as they deemed the film's subject matter, which deals with sex education in schools, along with God and religion, to be controversial and could possibly hurt the sentiments of the audience. It was also suggested that Kumar's character in the film, which was initially supposed to be that of Lord Shiva, to be changed to that of a "Messenger of God". The makers felt that this would spoil the essence of the film and limit its appeal and insisted on receiving an (U/A) (Unrestricted public exhibition subject to parental guidance for children below the age of twelve) certificate. The film was eventually passed by the Censor Board with an (A) (Adults Only) certificate with no cuts but with 25 modifications. The film was theatrically released on 11 August 2023. Reception Critical response On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, OMG 2 has an approval rating of 75% from 12 reviews, with an average score of 6.4/10. A critic for Bollywood Hungama rated the film 4 stars out of 5 and wrote "On the whole OMG 2 is a bold, powerful, progressive, and sensitively handled film with powerful performances as its USP." Renuka Vyavahare of The Times Of India rated the film 4 stars out of 5 and wrote "OMG 2 shows you how a film can be entertaining, socially relevant and informative. You don’t need to leave your brain behind to have a good laugh. Take your family along to watch this interesting blend of social commentary and humour." Tushar Joshi of India Today rated the film 4 stars out of 5 and wrote "Overall, 'OMG 2' is a film that has the right mix of everything. In short, it succeeds in being an entertainer with a valid message. Akshay Kumar's fans will be in for a huge treat where the actor delivers one of his career-best performances." Ganesh Aaglave of Firspost rated the film 4 stars out of 5 and wrote "OMG 2 is a film, which should be watched by the audience of all the age groups as it delivers a social message, which is the need of the hour across the nation." Dishya Sharma of News18 rated the film 3.5 stars out of 5 and wrote "OMG 2 is unlike OMG: Oh My God. The first part had a little more comedy and a breezy approach. However, OMG 2 is heavy on dialogue and serious. Although it could feel preachy, it deserves a watch." Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express rated the film 3.5 stars out of 5 and wrote "A mainstream Hindi film taking up cudgels on behalf of the proponents of catching ‘em young? Speaking straight and true? Mentioning the wonders of the Kamasutra? Opening up syllabuses to include sex education? Yes, yes, and yes. Omg." In a negative review, Rahul Desai of Film Companion wrote "When the film belatedly wakes up to its own chauvinism, it throws in a few quick nods to the link between sexual repression and abuse. Most of them reek of tokenism." Saibal Chatterjee of NDTV wrote "To sum up, OMG 2 aspires to be as sharp as a scalpel but is actually as blunt as the back of a knife." Box office As of 27 August 2023, the film has grossed in India, with a further in overseas, for a worldwide total of .

Talbach (Ablach, Menningen)

Talbach is a stream in the Sigmaringen district in southern Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It is a left tributary of the Ablach in Menningen. Geography Course The Talbach originates a quarter of a kilometre south of the village border of Engelswies, in the Inzigkofen municipality on the eastern slope of Talsberg at just 665 m above sea level in the middle of fields. First of all, flowing eastward, the stream creates a nearly one and a half kilometer long northern arc, and then it flows south. After continuing for almost the same distance again, mostly on the edge of the forests Kohlhau and Hartwald, it reaches the mouth of Kaibach, the first major inlet, which joins the stream from the right as the Talbach enters the forest. Immediately afterwards the stream becomes a swampy brook . The stream sporadically emerges and disappears again, flowing through the valley section of the forest, and through the natural monument stone gutter ("Felsentäle") in the Hartwald. The stream then continues in a westerly direction and picks up the almost equally long Annenbach from the right, at the edge of the forest. In the corridor, the shorter Krebsbach flows out of the Hartwald into the Talbach, which is already near the northern outskirts of Menningen. The Weiherbach inlet then joins the stream from the northeast, at which point, the Talbach pivots. After another approximately 700 meters, it flows through the village, joining the Ablach from the left about 592 m above sea level.

Roy G. Fitzgerald

Roy Gerald Fitzgerald (August 25, 1875 – November 16, 1962) was an attorney, soldier, preservationist, and a member of the United States House of Representatives from Ohio. Birth and early life He was born in Watertown, New York and moved to Dayton, Ohio with his parents, Michael Gerald and Cornelia Maria ( Avery) Fitzgerald, in 1890 when his father's employer, the Davis Sewing Machine Company, was purchased by George P. Huffman and relocated from Watertown to Dayton. He attended the public schools, read law in the office of John M. Sprigg and was admitted to the bar in 1896. He commenced practice in Dayton as a partner in the law firm of Sprigg & Fitzgerald that later became Fitzgerald & Sprigg. Personal life In 1900, Fitzgerald married Caroline L. Wetecamp of Greenville, Ohio with whom he had two daughters and a son. Their son, Roy Jr., was a major in World War II, survived the Battle of the Bulge but died five months after VJ Day. Caroline Fitzgerald was a sickly woman, in the later years of her husband's Congressional service. She died in 1935. Fitzgerald married, secondly, to Alverda J. Sinks of Miami County, Ohio. Military service During World War I, he enlisted in the Army and was later commissioned a captain of infantry and was the commanding officer of Headquarters Company, 329th Infantry Regiment, American Expeditionary Force in France. He was commissioned lieutenant colonel of Infantry, United States Army Reserve Corps, in 1928. Congressional service Fitzgerald was elected as a Republican from Ohio's Third District to the Sixty-seventh Congress and to the four succeeding Congresses. He was chairman of the Committee on Expenditures in the Department of Commerce in the Sixty-eighth Congress. He served on the Committee on Revision of the Laws in the Seventieth and Seventy-first Congresses, during which time he authored a cumulative codification system for statutory law of the United States and the District of Columbia. He was defeated for reelection in 1930 to the Seventy-second Congress. During his decade in Congress, Fitzgerald fought for a number of causes that dismayed his more conservative colleagues, including child labor laws, reorganization of the U. S. Army Air Corps as an independent body and Federal care of the needy aged. The latter anticipated Social Security. In 1922, Fitzgerald introduced a constitutional amendment to allow Congress to control the labor and working hours of children under 18 which was passed by Congress in 1924. By 1938, only 28 states had ratified it when Congress passed the Fair Labor Standards Act (29 U.S. Code Chapter 8), incorporating many of the child labor provisions of the amendment. Fitzgerald and flight A licensed pilot and early advocate of flying, Fitzgerald was acquainted with Wright brothers. Rep. Fitzgerald was called an "aerial daredevil" of Congress by The New York Times for flying the 500-odd miles from Dayton to Washington for the reconvening of the lame duck session of Congress in 1922 (though that flight was piloted by someone else). In Dayton, he secured the location of Wright Field (now part of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base). His interest in flying led him, in 1927, to urge that the Air Force be reorganized as an independent department of the national defense. "The recent oceanic flights", he said at the time, "coupled with the preliminary tests of heavy bombing planes, have startled the world with the tremendous power of aviation. Aircraft have generally appeared to be the cheapest instruments of defense. Now they prove themselves to be one of the most powerful." Later life After his Congressional service, he resumed the independent practice of law in Dayton, with partners Thomas H. Ford, and Wayne F. Lee. From 1927 to 1930, he was a delegate to the Carnegie Foundation's Inter-Parliamentary Union at Paris, Berlin, Geneva, and London to study methods of classifying international law. An active man, Roy Fitzgerald climbed Mount Rainier in 1925 and four years later swam the Bosphorus from Europe to Asia in a cold rain. The swim took him 30 minutes. In June 1934, Congressman Fitzgerald purchased a Dayton-area farm from Frederick B. Patterson, president of National Cash Register Corp. The farm was located on Rural Road 11, one and a half miles south of Alexandersville, and three miles (5 km) east of Miamisburg. Fitzgerald was a director of the Merchants National Bank & Trust Company in Dayton for more than 50 years, and president of the Montgomery County Historical Society for 22 years. Although he was not a Dayton native, he enthusiastically led in helping to preserve many Dayton landmarks, notably Newcom Tavern and the Old Court House. During his presidency, a six million dollar bond was issued to build a new Court House with the condition that the Old Court House building be kept intact. The Court House later became the headquarters of the Historical Society. He oversaw the conservation of the Tavern and began deliberations about its relocation to Carillon Historical Park. Roy Gerald Fitzgerald died in Dayton in 1962 after a long illness and is interred with his family at Woodland Cemetery, Dayton, Ohio. References Primary sources "Roy Fitzgerald, Legislator, Dies."

Seaward 26RK

The Seaward 26RK is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Nick Hake as a cruiser and first built in 2005. The boat is also sometimes referred to as the Hake 26RK. Production The design was built by Hake Yachts in the United States, starting in 2005, but it is now out of production. The boat was actually built by Island Packet Yachts, owned by Hake Marine. Design The Seaward 26RK is a recreational keelboat, built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. The deck is cored with Divinycell foam. It has a fractional sloop rig; a nearly plumb stem; an open, walk-through transom; a vertically retractable, transom-hung rudder controlled by a tiller or optional wheel and a retractable, lead-cored, lifting keel. It displaces and carries of lead ballast. The boat has a draft of with the keel extended and with it retracted, allowing operation in shallow water or ground transportation on a trailer. The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor for docking and maneuvering, but a Yanmar inboard diesel engine was a factory option. The design has sleeping accommodation for four people, with a bow cabin "V"-berth and two main cabin settee berths, around a flip-up table. The galley is located on the port side just forward of the companionway ladder. The galley is equipped with a single-burner stove, icebox and a sink. The head is portable type, with an enclosing door optional. Cabin headroom is . The design has a hull speed of . Operational history In a 2005 review in Practical Sailor, Darrell Nicholson wrote, "this boat reflects a thoughtful approach to design that increases user comfort, though its sail plan may disappoint more performance-minded sailors. The additional space in the cockpit and waterline length are a plus, especially since they add only 200 lbs. to the displacement. And we think owners of the 26RK will be pleased at the boat’s ability to gunkhole in bodies of water where deeper draft vessels would be restricted."

Boothose

Boothose (boot-hose, boot hose) are over-stockings or boot liners worn in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to protect fine knitted stockings from wear. They first appear around 1450. Originally a practical item, they were later made of fine linen and sported elaborate lace and embroidered boothose tops. By 1583 Philip Stubbs in his Anatomie of Abuses could decry "The vain excesse of botehosen" In the 17th century, linen boothose could be trimmed with lavish lace tops turned down over cuffed bucket-topped boots. In mid-century, it was briefly stylish to wear boothose with low-cut shoes, before boothose fell completely out of fashion. They lingered, once again a practical object, under the name boot stockings into the 18th century.

Raúl Valbuena

Raúl Valbuena Cano (born 23 April 1975) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper. Club career Born in Madrid, Valbuena made his senior debut with CD Leganés' reserve team, aged only 16. In the 1992 off-season he joined Real Madrid's youth setup, and was promoted to the C-side in 1994. In 1995, Valbuena was assigned to Real Madrid Castilla in Segunda División. He played his first match as a professional on 24 March 1996, starting in a 1–0 away win against CA Marbella.

Valbuena returned to Zaragoza in 2005, where he notably played 25 minutes in the 2006 Copa del Rey Final 1–4 loss against RCD Espanyol, after replacing field player Delio Toledo due to César Sánchez's dismissal. He left the club the following year, and signed a three-year deal with Alba; he retired with the latter in 2008, at the age of 33.

Old Street Roundabout

Old Street Roundabout is a road junction in Central London, England. Historically a square roundabout, it is now a three-way junction. It is among access points of the Inner Ring Road for the adjoining St Luke's south part of Islington and the City of London beyond, west and south, respectively. It is roughly on the western limit of Shoreditch in the London Borough of Hackney which straddles both sides of the Ring Road, a road which after taking up a little of the eastern part of Old Street then veers south-east, taking Great Eastern Street, at Apex Junction. It is sometimes known as St. Agnes Well after the shopping centre beneath it, while the moniker of Silicon Roundabout owes to the local prominence of technology companies. Since October 2020 the layout has been a simple junction, not gyratory. Connections City Road crosses the roundabout, running south towards the City of London (particularly Moorgate and Liverpool Street stations), and north-west towards Angel, Pentonville, and the two northward railway terminus districts: King's Cross/St. Pancras and Euston. The main, namely north-east side, the north-western continuation of City Road, and Great Eastern Street are the limit the congestion charge zone (CCZ). To the west of Old Street are Clerkenwell, Finsbury, and (further afield) the West End. To the east are Shoreditch and London's East End. St. Agnes Well The shopping complex serving the broad underpass at the centre of the roundabout is named St. Agnes Well, after an ancient well thought to have been about to the east, at the junction of Old Street and Great Eastern Street. Remnants of the well can be found within Old Street station. Old Street station Old Street station is below Old Street Roundabout. It is served by the Bank branch of the London Underground Northern line and by National Rail Great Northern trains. With the increase in passenger numbers using the station, in 2014 Transport for London announced that it was to offer pop-up retail space at Old Street station as part of a drive to increase its revenue. Silicon Roundabout The term Silicon Roundabout refers to the high number of web businesses near the Old Street Roundabout (also in East London), by analogy to Silicon Valley in California. Cycling accidents A number of cycling accidents have occurred at Old Street roundabout. According to the London Cycling Campaign, the junction is among the top three in London for accidents involving cyclists. Within a few days in February 2011 two cyclists were severely injured in collisions involving lorries on or very close to the roundabout. In another collision involving a lorry in 2008, a cyclist suffered severe leg injuries, which the police described as "potentially life-changing". In response to this Transport for London have proposed a massive transformation of the roundabout, into a pedestrian square with segregated cycle lanes and road signals. On 25 July 2018, a cyclist was severely injured on Old Street roundabout following a collision with a lorry. Reconfiguration After extensive public consultation held in 2014–15, plans to broaden the non-motor vehicle area began in 2018. In 2019, the work began by Transport for London (TfL) in conjunction with Morgan Sindall. and the Boroughs of Islington and Hackney to create a much more pedestrian- and cycle- friendly zone. Remaining motor traffic is two-way to speed up pedestrian crossings and allow segregated cycle lanes. The work created a well-lit pedestrianised space around the new station main entrance.

Barrels, Inc.

Barrels, Inc. is a Superfund site located in Lansing, Michigan. The site's surface soils and groundwater have been contaminated from a storage tank and drum reclamation processes. Today the area is fenced in while cleanup options are being discussed in order to limit direct contact with the potential risks. In 1961, Barrels Inc. began working on the site, and continued until the owner abandoned the site in 1980. Cleanup activities Cleanup options are currently being evaluated. The site is being evaluated through state, federal and Potentially Responsible Party actions. For the time being, the site will stay fenced in to limit risks of further contamination. Access to the site will be restricted and future use of the site and its groundwater will be limited as well due to anticipated institutional controls. Institutional controls are activity and use limitations set in place by the EPA. By using institutional controls, exposure to contamination can be reduced, by limiting land and/or resource use, as well as guiding human behavior. For example, when land is not consistent with a certain level of cleanup, zoning restrictions may be set in place to prevent residential use. Lead and zinc has been detected at the site and has contaminated shallow groundwater. Heavy metals, volatile hydrocarbons, PCBs, oil, grease and other inorganic substances have been found to have contaminated on-site soils. To address immediate threats to human health and the environment, cleanup has also included removal actions, or short-term cleanups. Health & environment The greatest health risk to people is through ingesting or touching contaminated soil or groundwater. In the short term, exposure pathways that could result in unacceptable risks are being controlled. Currently, there are no unacceptable human exposure pathways. The EPA has determined that the site is under control for human exposure. The EPA has reviewed all the information on known and reasonably expected groundwater contamination and has concluded the migrations of contaminated groundwater is stabilized and there is no unacceptable discharge to surface water. The physical construction of the cleanup is complete for the entire site, however, the site is not completely ready for anticipated use.

John T. McIntyre

John Thomas McIntyre (26 November 1871 – 21 May 1951) was an American playwright, and novelist of mystery and crime fiction. Life McIntyre was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on 26 November 1871 to Irish immigrants, Sarah Walker (1848–1885) and Patrick McIntyre (circa 1842–1871) (who died the month after he was born). He grew up in the Kensington neighborhood and attended St. Michael's School (2nd & Jefferson Streets) and then the Harrison Grammar School (Master Street west of 2nd Street, formerly called The West Kensington School). His family consistently shows up in the U.S. Federal Census records as living in Kensington from 1860 to 1800 on Byron Place, a courtyard east of Germantown Avenue below Master Street, then in 1900 John T. McIntyre is enumerated as a boarder at 126 W. Girard Avenue, near Howard Street. He left school after 8th grade when his mother died, was raised by an aunt, and was working full-time by the age of fourteen. He worked for the stock company of the South Street Standard Theatre, writing a new play each week based on a set of posters produced for the theater's entrance. He also worked as a free-lance journalist for Philadelphia newspapers such as the Philadelphia Press. In 1898, he started writing his first novel, a political drama set in the wards along the Schuylkill River and Philadelphia waterfront, titled The Ragged Edge. The only copy of his manuscript was stolen during an express company robbery and it took him nearly a year to rewrite the book from memory. The book was published by McClure, Phillips in 1902 and is now considered an early example of the urban Irish-American political novel. McIntyre was also known as an authority on the history of the dime novel. In 1912, Steve, was produced by Arthur Hopkins. In 1919, A Young Man's Fancy, his most well-known play, was produced by George C. Tyler. In 1920, A Young Man's Fancy, was produced by George M. Cohan. However, McIntyre's successes as a serious novelist were limited and short-lived, and he relied on writing short stories, detective mysteries and juvenile fiction to make a living. He invented Ashton-Kirk, a scientific-minded criminologist, and published several books featuring his cases. He also wrote serials for newspapers about a freelance detective named Jerry Mooney. Maxwell Perkins took an interest in McIntyre and helped edit his novel of Philadelphia gangsters, Slag, which was published by Scribners in 1926, but it proved too far ahead of popular interest in hard-boiled crime novels. McIntyre's greatest success and fame came from his 1936 novel, Steps Going Down, which was selected as the United States entry in the All-Nations Prize Novel Competition. Although it did not win the full competition, its selection won McIntyre an award of $4,000 in cash and gained prominent notices for the book in most of the major literary magazines. Warner Brothers, which sponsored the competition, considered it for filming but declined it in the end. Steps Going Down tells the story of two men trying to evade the police and others as they move through a series of cheap lodgings in the poorer neighborhoods around Philadelphia, encountering a variety of crooks, prostitutes, addicts, zealots, and other characters. Carl van Doren wrote of the book, "There is hardly a page without an act, thought, or speech which is as natural as experience." McIntyre tried to build upon this success with his 1937 novel, Ferment, about union corruption, and Signing Off, his 1938 novel about Italian-American gangsters, but he had to fall back upon writing cheap fiction for newspapers and magazines. He placed fewer and fewer pieces as the 1940s wore on, and he was forced to sell off his collection of dime novels and rely upon the charity of his friends in the last years before his death.

Viking World museum

Viking World ( ) is a museum in Njarðvík, Reykjanesbær, Iceland. The museum opened on 8 May 2009, followed by a formal opening on Icelandic National Day, 17 June. The director was Elisabeth Ward; the building was designed by Guðmundur Jónsson. Viking World has on permanent display the Íslendingur, the replica of the Gokstad Viking ship which in 2000 was sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to L'Anse aux Meadows, Newfoundland, for the celebrations of the millennium of Leif Ericsson's voyage and then to New York. The ship was returned to Iceland and placed on exhibit in the open air until being transferred to the new museum in autumn 2008. She is suspended one and a half metres in the air so that visitors can walk underneath her hull and see the workmanship. There are also stairs and a walkway into the ship, enabling visitors to climb aboard and sit or walk around. The museum also houses the exhibition Vikings—The North Atlantic Saga from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. On 1 December 2010, a 2-year temporary exhibition with materials on loan from the National Museum of Iceland opened with a heathen reburial ceremony for a body excavated at Hafurbjarnarstaðir in 1868. The exhibits include materials from recent archaeological excavations. The museum came under new ownership in June 2015, with Sveinn V. Björgvinsson as managing director and Björn Jónasson as business manager. The museum at that time had four employees, two full-time; the new management hoped to expand it to attract travelling exhibitions and possibly to add a café.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint%20Mary%27s%20Hospital%2C%20Manchester

Saint Mary's Hospital, Manchester

Saint Mary's Hospital is a hospital in Manchester, England. It is part of Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust. Founded in 1790, St Mary's provides a range of inter-related services specifically for women and children. In 1986, St Mary's Sexual Assault Referral Centre was the first sexual assault referral centre (SARC) to open in the UK. History The hospital was founded in 1790 by Dr Charles White in a house in Old Bridge Street, Salford, as the "Lying-in Charity". Five years later in 1795 the charity became the Manchester Lying-in Hospital; it was accommodated however in the Bath Inn, Stanley Street, Salford. Midwifery training for women was provided from the beginning. The building was felt to be very suitable. The bar was used as the apothecary's shop. Inpatient accommodation was available for widows, deserted wives, and those whose homes were unsuitable. 80 were admitted in 1791/92. In 1799/1800 there were 177 and 800 home patients. The charity maintained a list of midwives, who were paid two shillings and sixpence for each delivery. In 1819 it moved to smaller premises at 18 King Street Manchester, but moved back to Stanley Street in 1822. White's collection of 300 pathological specimens was given to the hospital after his death in 1813. It was available for inspection by the public. In 1840 the charity moved to 2 South Parade, which cost £813. There was a disastrous fire there in 1847 which destroyed most of White's collection. In 1854 it changed its name to St Mary's Hospital and Dispensary for the Diseases peculiar to Women and also for the Diseases of Children under six years of age. From 1855 to 1903 it occupied a new building in Quay Street which was erected at the expense of Dr Thomas Radford. It cost £4300 and had 80–90 beds, 25 or 30 of which were for children. Home visiting of sick women and children, and clinical teaching of students from Owens College began at this time. Radford had joined the hospital in 1818 as a man-midwife; from 1834 he was house surgeon extraordinary; from 1841 until his death in 1881 he was the consulting physician, and from 1874 also chairman of the board of management. In 1904 the hospital was amalgamated with the Manchester Southern Hospital for Women and Children and two new hospitals were built. One was in Whitworth Street West on the corner of Oxford Street, designed by Alfred Waterhouse and built between 1899 and 1901. It had an octagonal tower and a circular ward block on three floors of 43 feet diameter. There were three separate dining rooms – for doctors, for nurses, and for ancillary staff. The other hospital on Oxford Road in Chorlton-on-Medlock opened in April 1911. The hospital also had a School of Nursing that certified midwives. In 1910 the first female house surgeon was appointed. In 1915 the city centre hospital provided maternity and outpatient services and had 56 maternity beds and 50 cots, with accommodation for medical students, midwives and pupil nurses. The suburban hospital provided gynaecological and paediatric services and contained 115 beds. A clinic for venereal disease was opened in 1919 and ante-natal clinics were instituted in 1923. A formal co-operation arrangement was made with the Manchester Royal Infirmary in 1939 which resulted in the gynaecological department was transferred from the Infirmary to St Mary's and a shared nursing staff and training school should be instituted. During the Second World War most patients were moved, first to Blackpool and then to Collar House in Prestbury, Cheshire, well away from the city centre. Prestbury Hall and later Adlington Hall were also used. At the start of the NHS in 1948 it formed part of The United Manchester Hospitals. A new hospital was constructed on Hathersage Road between 1966 and 1970 at a cost of over £3 million. The wards were housed in a tower block with laboratories and the antenatal clinic in a podium. Each ward had 4 four-bedded rooms with nine single rooms, three nurseries, each with six cots, a day room and a utility room. Regional facilities – a special care baby unit, the medical genetics centre and In-Vitro Fertilisation services were developed. In 1986, St Mary's Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC) was established, the first SARC to open in the UK. In 2003, Catherine White became clinical director of St Mary's SARC. In 2009 paediatric (excluding neonatal) services from St Mary's Hospital were transferred to the newly re-built Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, which opened on 11 June 2009. Services Clinical More than 1,200 staff, including doctors, nurses, midwives, clinical and non-clinical support staff work in St Mary's Hospital. A range of clinical and non-clinical support services are based at the site to support the work undertaken, including well established departments of radiology and physiotherapy. 9,267 babies were delivered in 2015/16. Sexual Assault Referral Centre St Mary's Sexual Assault Referral Centre (SARC) is a rape crisis centre, treating both men and women in the immediate aftermath of or any time after a rape or sexual assault, and provides psychological care in addition to forensic services. Library The Radford Library was transferred from St Mary's Hospital to the Manchester Medical Society's library in 1927. It included early obstetrical and gynaecological literature collected by the surgeon Dr Thomas Radford and donated to the hospital by him together with an endowment. Dr Radford also donated his obstetrical museum.

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

Impera

Impera is the fifth studio album by the Swedish rock band Ghost. Released on 11 March 2022, it was produced by Klas Åhlund who also produced the band's 2015 album, Meliora. The release of Impera was preceded by three singles: the first, "Hunter's Moon", was released on 30 September 2021 in support of the 2021 slasher film Halloween Kills with a version being a part of the film's closing credits; the second single, "Call Me Little Sunshine", was released on 20 January 2022 and the third, "Twenties", was released on 2 March 2022. The theme of Impera mainly focuses on "the rise and fall of empires". Multiple outside songwriters assisted with the album, including pop producers Salem Al Fakir and Vincent Pontare, Kent lead singer Joakim Berg and The Cardigans guitarist Peter Svensson. The album received widespread critical acclaim. Background and release In a 2021 interview with radio station KLAQ, frontman Tobias Forge stated that he came up with the concept of Impera in 2013 after reading the book The Rule of Empires: Those Who Built Them, Those Who Endured Them, and Why They Always Fall by Timothy Parsons. He came across the book in an independent bookstore called Left Bank Books, situated in Seattle's Pike Place Market. When asked about that chance discovery, he explained: "I'm interested in history and culture, and how empires are built up, and how and why they always fall apart. Right there and then, I knew that at some point, 'I'm going to make an imperial record.'" In June 2019, Forge stated that the band would be touring the United States in September and October in support of their fourth album Prequelle before returning to Europe. The band then entered the studio in January 2020 to begin working on their fifth album, and planned to release it by late summer that year. However, Forge stated that they would wait to until after the U.S. presidential election to release the album, concerning the event would draw public's attention the most. In March 2020, during their final show supporting their 2018 album Prequelle in Mexico City, Ghost introduced a new character Papa Emeritus IV. He is expected to play a role in their fifth album and its accompanied tour. The COVID-19 pandemic delayed the release of the album, and in October 2020, Forge revealed that the album was intended to be released in the winter. It was further delayed, however. On 30 September 2021, the band released a single, "Hunter's Moon" for the 2021 slasher film Halloween Kills with a different version of the song being played in the closing credits. On 20 January 2022, the band announced their fifth studio album, Impera, was finally set to release on 11 March 2022, and released what would be the second single, "Call Me Little Sunshine", as "Hunter's Moon" will also appear on the album. On 2 March 2022, the band released the next single from the album, "Twenties". On 27 July 2022, the band released a music video for the album's fourth single, "Spillways". A download of the studio version of the song "Kaisarion" was made available with a preorder of a special edition CD of Impera. Recording While it was originally planned for the band to record the album in 2020 and release it in early 2021, the band ended up waiting until January 2021 to enter the studio and record the album. Recording lasted six weeks and mixing/mastering took two to three weeks. The album was produced by Klas Åhlund and mixed by Andy Wallace, who also did the same for the band's 2015 album, Meliora. Music and themes Musically, Impera has been described as hard rock, arena rock, glam metal, heavy metal, and pop rock. The album's sound has been described as 1980s-style pop and rock and has been compared to ABBA, Boston, Dio, Bon Jovi, and Def Leppard. The album is themed mainly on "the rise and fall of empires". It is described to take place hundreds of years forward from the 14th century Europe Black Plague era of Ghost's previous album, Prequelle. The cover art by Zbigniew Bielak is a reference to a photograph of English occultist Aleister Crowley. Promotion In January 2022, the band kicked off a North American co-headline tour with Volbeat called the Imperatour. During the first show in Reno, the band performed "Kaisarion", the second song of the album, for the first time, as well as introduced new steampunk-inspired costumes for the Nameless Ghouls. They also headlined the UK and European legs of the tour that started in April 2022. The band appeared on U.S. chat show Jimmy Kimmel Live! on 17 March 2022, where they performed the single "Call Me Little Sunshine". Commercial performance Impera debuted at number one in five countries, including in the band's native country Sweden, and charted in the top 40 of multiple charts worldwide. In the United States, Impera debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 chart, behind Lil Durk's 7220, selling 70,000 units in its first week, of which 62,500 were physical album sales. It is Ghost's highest charting album in the U.S., surpassing Prequelles position of number three, as well as earning the largest physical album sales week of 2022 in the U.S. It also charted at number 2 in the UK, becoming Ghost's highest charting album there, behind Rex Orange County's Who Cares? Reception Impera received critical acclaim upon its release. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 84, which indicates "universal acclaim", based on 8 reviews. Thom Jurek of AllMusic was positive towards the album stating, "Impera is the most unabashed exercise in exultant pop/rock sheen Ghost has issued to date; it establishes an exquisite front in their own quest for global rock domination." Dom Lawson of Blabbermouth.net called the album the "most spectacular and hook-filled heavy(ish) metal albums in recent memory." According to Mark Beaumont of Classic Rock, "Ghost swap Medieval demons for modern-day counterparts..." and compared the album to Green Day's American Idiot. Manus Hopkins of Exclaim! called the album "more thematically interesting and more musically complex album than its predecessor" but was less positive towards the band's departure from themes of devil-worshiping and a more evil image. James Hickie of Kerrang! stated that "Impera is among Ghost's very best and sure to push them even closer to those heavenly heights." According to Dave Everley of Metal Hammer, "Ghost have turned in a modern metal classic with an arena rock heart. It turns out the devil doesn't have all the best tunes. Tobias Forge does." Jordan Blum of Metal Injection considered the album to be "a tad more accessible and light compared to their first two or three albums—prioritizing welcoming rock over weird metal in most cases—but that's hardly a flaw considering how unified and exciting it is." Metal Sucks compared the album to Avatar and King Diamond and called it "theatrical, catchy, and evil in the most approachable way." James McMahon of NME called the twelve tracks on the album "a truly delicious pop-rock proposition." Adrien Begrand of PopMatters considered the lyrics on the song "Twenties" to be too blunt and bring the song "close to a cartoon level." However, Begrand praised the album's "smart riffs and melodies" and considers the album to be what "establishes them as a commercial hard rock force."

Nilgiri striped squirrel

The Nilgiri striped squirrel (Funambulus sublineatus) is a threatened species of rodent, a small squirrel (Sciuridae) from rainforests in the southern Western Ghats, including the Nilgiris, in Peninsular India. It formerly included Funambulus obscurus from Sri Lanka as a subspecies, at which point the English name of the "combined species" also was dusky striped squirrel (a name now restricted to the Sri Lankan species). Taxonomy Funambulus sublineatus was scientifically described in 1838. Later it was merged with the Sri Lankan obscurus, then regarded as a subspecies of Funambulus sublineatus. In 2012, a review found that the two were highly distinct and recommended that they should be recognized as separate species. Distribution The former range of the species, before the taxonomic split, was in both India and Sri Lanka, though the Nilgiri palm squirrel (F. sublineatus) is now restricted in distribution to the Western Ghats of India. Very little is known of this squirrel, probably the smallest in the genus weighing about 40g. Its new status as an endemic mammal to India means records need updating. The species is confined to wet humid forests either in the Western Ghats and Nilgiri hills (and surrounding areas such as around Kodaikanal in India) References Funambulus Mammals of India Mammals described in 1838 Taxonomy articles created by Polbot

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick%20Gye

Frederick Gye

Frederick Gye (the younger) (1810–1878) was an English businessman and opera manager who for many years ran what is now the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden. Life Gye, son of Frederick Gye (the elder), was born at Finchley, Middlesex, in 1810, and educated at Frankfurt-am-Main. He assisted his father in the management of Vauxhall Gardens from about 1830, and at the same period had a contract for lighting some of the government buildings. He was afterwards associated with Monsieur Louis Antoine Jullien in the Covent Garden promenade concerts in 1846, and was his acting-manager when Jullien opened Drury Lane Theatre as an English opera house in 1847. When Edward Delafield became lessee of the Italian Opera House, Covent Garden, in 1848, Gye was appointed business manager. On 14 July 1849 Delafield was declared bankrupt; Gye, in conjunction with the artists, carried on the house for the remainder of the season as a joint-stock undertaking. In September 1849 he was the acknowledged lessee, having obtained a lease for seven years, and receiving a salary of £1,500 per annum as manager. On 24 July in that year he produced Meyerbeer's Le prophète, but it never became a favourite piece in England. In 1851 the repertory of Covent Garden opera house included thirty-three operas, three of which were by Meyerbeer. On 9 August Gounod's Sapho was played, the first opera by that composer that was heard in England, but it was a failure. Johanna Wagner, a German prima donna, breaking her contract with Benjamin Lumley in 1852, engaged to sing for Gye. Legal proceedings ensued, and in the Court of the Queen's Bench on 20 February 1853 judgment was given in favour of Lumley, but without damages. In 1853 Verdi's Rigoletto and Berlioz's Benvenuto Cellini were given for the first time in England. Covent Garden had now become a success, good operas, with the best artists, and Michael Costa as conductor, serving to draw paying audiences; but on 5 March 1856 the house was destroyed by fire. Gye received £8,000 from the insurance offices for the properties in the house, which were valued at £40,000. The opera during the seasons of 1856 and 1857, commencing 15 April 1856, was held in the Lyceum Theatre, where in the first season forty operas were given, and advertised as being under Gye's direction. The renters and proprietors of Covent Garden finding themselves unable to collect the money to rebuild that theatre, Gye with great energy raised or became accountable for £120,000, the sum which the new structure cost. The opera house, from the designs of Edward Middleton Barry, R.A., was commenced and completed in the short period of six months. In 1857 Gye obtained a new ground lease from the Duke of Bedford for ninety years at a rent of £850 per annum, and opened the house on 15 April 1858, when the novelty was Flotow's Martha. In the following year Giacomo Meyerbeer's Dinorah was added to the repertory. In 1860 concerts were given in the newly built Floral Hall, adjoining Covent Garden Market. The notable event of 1861 was the appearance on 14 May of Adelina Patti as Amina in La Sonnambula. In 1863 Pauline Lucca was first seen, but she did not make her name until 1865, when she returned to play Selika in L'Africaine. Gye failed entirely to appreciate Gounod's Faust, declining over and over again to mount it until obliged to do so by its great success at Her Majesty's Theatre in 1863. An attempt was made in 1865 to amalgamate Her Majesty's and Covent Garden into the Royal Italian Opera Company, Limited, when Gye was to have had £270,000 for his interest in the latter house, but the project came to nothing. In 1869, however, the two establishments were joined under the management of Gye, and a season commencing on 30 March left a profit of £22,000. Mapleson, the lessee of Her Majesty's, and Gye dissolved their partnership in the autumn of 1870, when there is said to have been a mortgage of £150,000 on Covent Garden. Gye had much litigation between 1861 and 1872 with Brownlow William Knox, his partner in the Italian opera, who filed a bill in chancery against him (on 20 March 1861) for a dissolution of partnership and a production of accounts. The action was finally settled in Gye's favour by a judgment of the House of Lords on 8 July 1872. In 1871 the Royal Italian Opera entered upon a period of prosperity, which lasted until Gye's death. During this time the profits were upwards of £15,000 a year, despite increasing salaries of artists and other heavy expenses. Mlle Emma Albani, afterwards wife of Frederick Gye's son Ernest, made her début in 1872, and in the following year fully established her position on the stage. In 1874 eighty-one performances of thirty-one operas by thirteen composers were given. In 1875 Gye, finding that there was a growing taste for Wagner's music, produced Lohengrin, and in 1876 Tannhäuser and Il Vascello Fantasma (The Flying Dutchman with the lyrics translated into Italian). During his last season (1878) the novelties were Flotow's Alma and Victor Massé's Paul et Virginie. On 27 November 1878 Gye was shot accidentally while a guest at Ditchley Park, Viscount Dillon's seat in Oxfordshire. He died from the effects of the wound on 4 December 1878, and was buried at Norwood Cemetery on 9 December. On the whole his management of the largest establishment of its kind in Europe was honourable to himself and advantageous to his many patrons, and, although his knowledge of music was very limited, his business abilities were great. He was probably by far the most successful lessee of any of the operatic establishments which have existed in England. On 5 November 1878 he patented a new electric light, with which he proposed to illuminate the opera house. Gye married by licence dated 12 March 1834, Elizabeth Hughes, by whom he had a numerous family. By his will he left the whole of his property, comprising Covent Garden Theatre and the Floral Hall, to his children, the management devolving on Mr. Ernest Gye and one of his brothers.

Heinrich Walpot von Bassenheim

Heinrich Walpot von Bassenheim (died 1200), also known as Henry Walpot, was the first Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights serving from 1198 to sometime before 1208. As little is known about him, information regarding the Grand Master is mostly based on historians' theories. Walpot hailed from a rich family from Mainz. He was in favour of turning the organisation into a military order. The death of the Hohenstaufen emperor Heinrich VI in 1197 caused an important change in the Teutonic Order. They were incorporated as an independent military order in 1198 under the direction of Heinrich Walpot von Bassenheim and received privileges from popes Celestine III and Innocent III. In 1199 he received a copy of monastery rules from Gilbert Horal, the Grand Master of the Knights Templar, and on behalf of Pope Innocent III. It was based on the rules of the Templars. Walpot died and was buried in Acre.

Socialist Workers' Congress (1879)

The Third Socialist Workers' Congress of France was held in Marseille, France, in 1879. At this congress the socialist leaders rejected both cooperation and anarchism, both of which would allow the existing regime to continue, and adopted a program based on collectivism. The congress also adopted a motion that women should have equal rights to men, but several delegates felt that essentially woman's place was in the home. The congress has been called a triumph of Guesdism and the birthplace of French Marxist socialism, but both claims are open to question. The attendees soon split into rival groups with disparate beliefs. Location The Third Socialist Workers' Congress was held in Marseille on 20–31 October 1879. It was held in the Salle des Folies-Bergères. The Marseilles Congress followed the Congress of Lyon of 1878, and was the most important socialist congress in France before 1889 in terms of attendance, resolutions and its effect on the socialist party's constitution. The congress was followed by the 1880 Congress of Le Havre. Collectivism Jules Guesde was a former anarchist who had converted to Marxism in 1876. Guesde was sick and bedridden in Paris at the time of the congress, but was represented by two jewelry workers, Jean Lombard of Marseille and Eugène Fournière of Paris. A motion composed by Guesde was moved by the delegates from Paris and carried by a large majority. It was: The congress adopted a Marxist program and supported collectivism by 73 votes to 27. The collectivists rejected efforts to found cooperatives as being petty bourgeois and covert capitalism. The delegates were also opposed to cooperation and to anarchism, both of which left the status quo undisturbed, and declared themselves in favor of political action. The congress has been described as a triumph of Guesdism, but in fact was a triumph of collectivism, which Guesde's opponents Paul Brousse and Benoît Malon also supported. Foundation of the Socialist Party The suppression of the Paris Commune in 1871 was a severe blow to socialism in France, and for several years afterwards workers were reluctant to get involved in politics. At the congresses of Paris (1876), Lyon (1878) and Marseille (1879) only working men could speak and vote, and discussion of politics was banned. However Guesde wanted to organize a political party. He claimed that unlike conventional parties the new party would serve the interests of the workers rather than the ambitions of the party leaders. The congress decided that the proletariat should separate itself from all the bourgeois parties and form a new party. At first the party represented artisans such as hatters and shoemakers, but not weavers, miners or foundry workers. The new party had to compete for the attention of the workers with the Blanquists, the Anarchists, after 1881 with the Possiblists, and after 1890 with the Allemanists. Although the launch of the Parti Ouvrier (Party of Labour) by the 1879 congress has been treated by socialist and communist historians as the date when Marxist socialism was born in France, the new "party" was a loosely defined movement dominated by anti-political anarchists and anti-socialist radicals, with few members with recognizably Marxist views. It was only between the congress and the 1882 split that Guesde and Lafargue developed hardline Marxist positions. The party suffered from internal disagreements from the start. Anarchists such as Jean Grave disliked political involvement of any type, while Brousse was suspicious of Guesde's Marxist authoritarianism and thought the nationalization program would lead to a socialist dictatorship. Women's rights Some of the delegates defended the concept of the family wage, and argued against women's wage labour. One delegate said "woman's place is in the home, where so many daily concerns call her, and not in a factory or workshop ... The young girl should never learn any trade except those which, later, when she has become a wife and a mother, she can carry out in the home." Isidore Finance, who represented the building painters of Paris, urged "tough-fisted and hardheaded workingmen ... to demand a wage that is not simply the equivalent to the product of their labours, but sufficient to keep women and the aged at home." Hubertine Auclert made passionate pleas for women's rights, but argued that they needed economic independence due to their "natural" motherhood. Auclert was on a special committee to consider the equality of women, and was given an hour to speak to the congress on this subject. After her speech she was invited to head a committee to prepare a statement on women's rights. This statement, which said women should have the same social, legal, political and working rights as men was approved by the congress.

Goh Tat Chuan

Goh Tat Chuan (; born 6 February 1974) is a former Singapore football player. A midfielder, he spent most of his time at Woodlands Wellington FC and was the 10th captain of the club. Goh is currently the record holder for the most appearances for Woodlands with 138 appearances. He graduated from St Joseph's Institution and the Nanyang Technological University and was one of the few players in the Singapore national soccer team to have a degree. During his time in the S-League, his passing skills and ability as a holding midfielder earned him a reputation as one of the best midfielders in the league and even in the region. Goh retired from professional football on 6 January 2007 to concentrate on his career as a commercial engineer. Club career A software engineer, Goh pursued his football passion on a part-time basis by making his S.League debut in 1996 with Sembawang Rangers. When Jurong FC entered the 1997 S.League, Goh made the switch over to the Cobras where he played for three seasons. It was his convincing performances in the middle of the park for Jurong which prompted Singapore coach Barry Whitbread to call him up to play for the Singapore national team in 2001. Having made his name as a no-nonsense anchorman at Jurong FC, Goh moved to rivals Woodlands Wellington in time for the 2002 S.League season together with fellow Cobra A. Siva Kumar. It was at Woodlands where Goh's career really flourished. Following the departure of Simon Clark at the end of the 2004 S.League season, Goh was handed the captain's armband, becoming the tenth captain in Woodlands' history i the process. He continued to play for Woodlands and made a total of 138 appearances for the Rams until his retirement in early 2007. International career A player with impeccable vision on the field, Goh made his international debut for the Singapore Lions on 22 May 2001 in a friendly against New Zealand. He played in both the 2002 and 2004 Tiger Cups and was notably sent off in the second group match against Laos in 2002. Singapore was subsequently knocked out at the group stage of the tournament. However, he redeemed himself in the 2004 edition after forming a remarkable partnership in central midfield alongside Hasrin Jailani as Singapore won the tournament that year. In 2006, he had a feud with national team coach, Radojko Avramovic, after he was dropped from the national team after failing to observe a curfew together with his Woodlands Wellington teammate, Masrezwan Masturi. This cause a huge uproar as the two players were dropped two days before the Asian Cup qualifying round opener against Iraq. Because of his refusal to give Avramovic a public apology, he was never picked to play for the national team again since that incident.
