When the orquesta típica of Genaro Espósito was signed by the Victor record label in 1912, their first recording was the tango "Ya vengo", by Julián Robledo. Other tangos composed by Robledo include "La Pianola", "Golf' and “Chirulote”.

South is an impact crater in the Mare Australe quadrangle of Mars, located at 76.9°S latitude and 21.9°E longitude. It measures in diameter, and was named after British astronomer Sir James South (1785–1867). The name was approved by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) Working Group for Planetary System Nomenclature in 1973. |
Description. |
Very close to the crater there are what have been named "Swiss cheese" features. Swiss cheese features (SCFs) are pits so named because they look like the holes in Swiss cheese. They were first seen in 2000 using Mars Orbiter Camera imagery. They are usually a few hundred meters across and deep, with a flat base and steep sides. They tend to have similar bean-like shapes with a cusp pointing towards the south pole. The angle of the sun probably contributes to their roundness. Near the Martian summer solstice, the sun can remain continuously just above the horizon; as a result the walls of a round depression will receive more intense sunlight, and sublimate much more rapidly than the floor. The walls sublimate and recede, while the floor remains the same. |
As the seasonal frost disappears, the pit walls appear to darken considerably relative to the surrounding terrain. The SCFs have been observed to grow in size, year by year, at an average rate of , suggesting that they are formed in a thin layer () of carbon dioxide ice lying on top of water ice. |

Stan points out that she can lead them back to the family and Roger takes her away and proposes they go their separate ways. Handing her cash, he leaves her behind as Bullock spots her dog disguise from a helicopter and attempts to intercept her after it falls off as Roger cheers her on. But when the CIA corners her, he decides to intervene by building a high-powered rifle out of stones, sticks and his bubble gum. He manages to shoot down a tree which crashes onto the copter.

Critical reception for "Blagsnarst, a Love Story" was mostly positive. Alasdair Wilkins of "The A.V. Club" gave this episode an A- stating: "The episode features Kim Kardashian, a move that should feel like shameless stunt-casting, except she’s on hand to play a furry pink alien; this is in keeping with American Dad’s admirable habit of reeling in impressive guest voices and casting them in unrecognizable roles. The episode features Roger and Stan at their most casually sociopathic, yet both find just enough hidden emotional depth for the episode to not feel completely mean-spirited." |

Family and early life. |
Catherine Black was born in 1878 in Ramelton, County Donegal in Ardeen House on the outskirts of the town. Her father was a linen draper with a prosperous shop in the town. Black went to Royal London Hospital to train as a nurse, and it was whilst there that she became friends with Edith Cavell. She died on 7 October 1949 in London. |
WWI service. |
Black was working as a private nurse in Royal London Hospital when the outbreak of World War I was declared. She joined Queen Alexandra's Imperial Military Nursing Service, first serving in Cambridge Hospital in Aldershot and then the No. 7 Hospital in St Omer where she treated soldiers suffering from shell shock. Black was then sent as a replacement for a nurse who was killed at a casualty clearing station at Poperinghe, Belgium, and subsequently went on to serve at the 41st Stationary Hospital at Sailly-Lorette, nursing soldiers with self-inflicted wounds. She was moved to the No. 5 General Hospital in Rouen and various other clearing stations until the end of the war. |

Black objected to the actions of the King's doctor Lord Dawson of Penn in administering a lethal combination of morphine and cocaine to hasten the King's death. The King's final words, "God damn you!", were addressed to Black as she gave him a sedative on the night before his death. |
Black wrote of her life in the Palace in her autobiography "King's Nurse, Beggar's Nurse", in which she also recounted her childhood in Donegal, nursing in Australia, as well as her service in WWI. In reflecting on the experiences of nurses in the war, Black recounted "you went into [a casualty-clearing station] young and light-hearted.
