67360961	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelina%20de%20Grecia	Angelina de Grecia	Angelina de Grecia (circa 1380-Segovia, circa 1440) was a woman of Balkan origin who later established herself in Segovia. Origin The traditional historiography goes, in accordance with the inscription on her tomb, that Angelina was the daughter of a Count 'Juan' (i.e. John, Ivan, István, etc.), and the illegitimate granddaughter of a certain king of Hungary, probably Andrew, Duke of Calabria, the titular king of Hungary. Later, it was speculated that he was an illegitimate descendant of Louis I of Hungary by way of an illegitimate son, which would be Count Juan. At present it has been proposed that she was a girl of Greco-Serbian origin, a daughter of John Uroš, count of Thessaly and titular Emperor of the Serbs, Greeks, and Bulgarians. This affiliation would likely be the one that explains her being known in Spain under the surname de Grecia (of or from Greece). In the case of the name Angelina, by which she was known in Spain, a Byzantine affiliation has been noted. Biography Judging by the dates of her marriage, she is considered to have been born around 1380. She likely had at least one sister, Maria, who accompanied her to Spain, as did a certain Catalina. Regarding the story how she came to end up in an Ottoman harem, it has been speculated that she was taken by Murad I after the capture of Thessalonica in 1387, or that she was demanded as tribute by their son Bayezid I after defeating Thessalonica in 1391. Later they would be captured by Timur (Tamerlane) in 1402, after the Ottoman defeat in Battle of Ankaraa. Around 1402 the first embassy sent by Henry III of Castile and consisting of Payo González de Sotomayor and Hernán Sánchez de Palazuelos arrived at the court of Tamerlán. At the moment after the return of the ambassadors, Tamerlán sent Angelina and her sister María to the Castilian king, along with another Christian woman, Catalina. The embassy entourage arrived in Seville in 1403, whereupon the poet Francisco Imperial composed a poem dedicated to Angelina. Later, after passing through Jódar, a possession of Luis de Sotomayor, brother of the ambassador Payo González de Sotomayor, they arrived at the Alcázar of Segovia, where they met Henry III and his court. The king took them under his protection, arranging the marriage of Angelina with the Segovian nobleman Diego González de Contreras. Her sister Maria married the ambassador Payo González de Sotomayor, after having been exiled away to his holdings in Galicia, and later going to France, because the king considered that such romantic involvement was inappropriate for those entrusted with the protection of the ladies during their return trip. Catalina is said to have married Hernán Sánchez de Palazuelos. The married Angelina and Diego moved to live in Segovia, specifically in a house which is still preserved today located in the neighborhood of San Juan de los Caballeros. She was initially buried in the main chapel of the Convent of Santa Cruz de Segovia. Later, when the convent of Santa Cruz passed under the patronage of the Catholic Monarchs, her remains were transferred to the Church of San Juan de los Caballeros in the same city. Her descendants include her biographer, Juan de Contreras y López de Ayala, Marquis of Lozoya, academic and historian. Marriage and descendants From her marriage to Diego González de Contreras several children were born, including: Isabel González de Contreras who married Ruy Vázquez de Tordesillas. Additionally, it has traditionally been speculated that the following were also resultant children of the marriage: Fernán González de Contreras. John of Segovia, theologian.

Each three wings of India's military have their special forces deployed in the region including Indian Army special forces and Rashtriya Rifles, the Indian Navy MARCOS and the Indian Air Force's Garud Commando Force. Apart from this, there is the elite police anti-insurgency force in the region, the Special Operations Group, of the Jammu and Kashmir Police. Indian Army The Indian Army was first deployed in Kashmir during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1947–1948. Following this the Army has been a part of every conflict, standoff and border skirmish with Pakistan and China in the region. Internal security deployments in the region include anti-terror operations and counter-insurgency operations. Most anti-terror operations in the region are led by the Army, with the CRPF and SOG providing perimeter and crowd control support. Indian Air Force In 1947, the Royal Indian Air Force, C-47 Dakotas and Tempests, provided transport and air support to the Indian army, allowing Indian troops to re-gain control over large areas of the former princely state of Jammu and Kashmir. Following this, the Air Force has provided support in Jammu and Kashmir on numerous occasions, including humanitarian missions such as during the Jammu and Kashmir floods, 2014. The Air Force started attaching the Garuds with the army in Jammu and Kashmir to give them "live situation training". The commandos are attached to the Chinar Corps and Rashtriya Rifles of the army. Indian Navy The MARCOS work side by side with the Army in Jammu and Kashmir, with one of their key roles being to ensure the security of Wular Lake. From 2018 onwards, the MARCOS were deployed in the region as part of Armed Forces Special Operations Division. Central Armed Police Forces Border Security Force The BSF is responsible for ensuring security along the international border with Pakistan. Central Reserve Police Force 26 battalions of CRPF are posted in the Kashmir region, with operations being conducted in the area between "Kupwara in North to Jawahar Tunnel in South and Pahalgam in East to Shopian in West". In 2020 the CRPF got new bulletproof jackets and armored troop carriers. Special Operations Group The Jammu and Kashmir Police Special Operations Group (SOG) was created in the early 1990s. Each district of Kashmir has multiple SOG units with varying strength according to the amount of militancy in the district. Each unit is headed by a deputy superintendent of police. Kulgam, Anantnag, Shopian and Pulwama are districts with the most SOG units. Casualties In 2020, in April and May, there have been 27 casualties from the Army, CRPF, police and BSF across Kashmir valley. References Bibliography Ministry of Defence (India) Jammu and Kashmir

302354	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Masnavi	Masnavi	The Masnavi, or Masnavi-ye-Ma'navi (), also written Mathnawi, or Mathnavi, is an extensive poem written in Persian by Jalal al-Din Muhammad Balkhi, also known as Rumi. The Masnavi is one of the most influential works of Sufism, commonly called "the Quran in Persian". It has been viewed by many commentators as the greatest mystical poem in world literature. The Masnavi is a series of six books of poetry that together amount to around 25,000 verses or 50,000 lines. It is a spiritual text that teaches Sufis how to reach their goal of being truly in love with God. General description The title Masnavi-ye-Ma'navi () means "The Spiritual Couplets". The Masnavi is a poetic collection of anecdotes and stories derived from the Quran, hadith sources, and everyday tales. Stories are told to illustrate a point and each moral is discussed in detail. It incorporates a variety of Islamic wisdom but primarily focuses on emphasizing inward personal Sufi interpretation. In contrast to Rumi's Diwan, the Masnavi is a relatively "sober" text. It explains the various dimensions of spiritual life and practice to Sufi disciples and anyone who wishes to ponder the meaning of life. Creation The Masnavi was started by the Rumi during the final years of his life. He began dictating the first book around the age of 54 around the year 1258 and continued composing verses until his death in 1273. The sixth and final book would remain incomplete. It is documented that Rumi began dictating the verses of the Masnavi at the request of his favourite disciple, Husam al-Din Chalabi, who observed that many of Rumi's followers dutifully read the works of Sana'i and 'Attar. Thus, Rumi began creating a work in the didactic style of Sana'i and 'Attar to complement his other poetry. These men are said to have met regularly in meetings where Rumi would deliver the verses and Chalabi would write them down and recite them back to him. Each book consists of about 4,000 verses and contains its own prose introduction and prologue. The inconclusive ending of the sixth volume has given rise to suggestions that the work was not complete at the time of Rumi's death and claims about existence of another volume. Themes and narrative devices The six books of the Masnavi can be divided into three groups of two because each pair is linked by a common theme: Books 1 and 2: They "are principally concerned with the nafs, the lower carnal self, and its self-deception and evil tendencies." Books 3 and 4: These books share the principal themes of Reason and Knowledge. These two themes are personified by Rumi in the Biblical and Quranic figure of the Prophet Moses. Books 5 and 6: These last two books are joined by the universal ideal that man must deny his physical earthly existence to understand God's existence. In addition to the recurring themes presented in each book, Rumi includes multiple points of view or voices inviting the reader to fall into "imaginative enchantment." There are seven principal voices that Rumi uses in his writing: The Authorial Voice – Conveys the authority of a Sufi teacher and generally appears in verses addressed to You, God, or you, of all humankind. The Story-telling Voice – May be interrupted by side stories that help clarify a statement, sometime taking hundreds of lines to make a point. The Analogical Voice – Interruptions to the flow of narration in order to explain a statement by use of analogy. The Voice of Speech and Dialogue of Characters – Many of the stories are told through dialogue between characters. The Moral Reflection – Supported by quotations from the Quran and hadith The Spiritual Discourse – Similar to analogical and model reflections. Hiatus – Rumi occasionally questions his own verses and writes that he cannot say more because the reader would not be capable of understanding. The Masnavi has no framed plot and includes a variety of scenes, from popular stories and scenes of the local bazaar to fables and tales from Rumi's time. It also includes quotations from the Qur'an and from hadith, accounts from the time of Mohammed. Although there is no constant frame, style, or plot, Rumi generally follows a certain writing pattern that flows in the following order: Problem/Theme → Complication → Resolution English versions Direct translations from Persian Mathnawi Rumi, translation with commentary by M.

4770413	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygon%20Man	Polygon Man	Polygon Man was a former marketing character for the Sony PlayStation in North America. He appeared in the consoles pre-launch ads commenting on various launch games but was dropped before the launch of Sony's first console and replaced by a series of popular game characters starting with Sofia from Battle Arena Toshinden, Parappa the Rapper, and Crash Bandicoot. An advertisement featuring Polygon Man paired with the phrase "It's more powerful than God" has been cited as an example of Sony's willingness to advertise to its teenage audience much more aggressively. History The creation of Polygon Man originated from strong opposition to the PlayStation brand name from the American arm of Sony Computer Entertainment(SCEA). Market research had shown that the youth audience that was the target market had reacted badly to the PlayStation name. SCEA were firmly in favour of using PSX as the name for the console, so much so that they broke with official marketing and called it PSX on early trade promotions and even commissioned their own marketing character, Polygon Man. Chiat/Day, SCEA's advertising agency had conducted consumer research and identified a target age of 17; the logic behind the decision was that 12-year-olds want to be 17 and 25-year-olds want to be 17 again. Polygon Man was envisioned as a "next-gen spokesman" to talk to consumers. The character was influenced by the successful anarchic Pirate TV campaign in the UK by Sega in the early 90s. The branding was the opposite of the minimalist branding vision that Sony Japan had for the console. Looking back at the events, Chris Deering, former head of PlayStation Europe, commented that SCEA's actions upset Sony in Japan because they interpreted it as SCEA fighting against the PlayStation brand, whereas Deering said he could see that SCEA's actual aim was to dodge the PlayStation brand. Phil Harrison, then head of Sony's European game publishing business, recollected the reaction of Ken Kutaragi, global head of the PlayStation brand, when Kutaragi saw the Polygon Man for the first time. "I remember walking onto the E3 booth in 1995 with Ken and seeing the Polygon Man design on the side of the booth. Ken just went absolutely insane," said Harrison. Kutaragi was upset that SCEA was spending its limited budget on an alternative brand. "But the thing that really upset Ken was that the Polygon Man design wasn’t Gouraud shaded, it was flat shaded! So Polygon Man was taken out into the car park and quietly shot." In 2012, Polygon Man resurfaced as the main antagonist and final boss of fighting game PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. It is assumed that he gathers famous PlayStation mascots to fight each other as a form of revenge.

11283748	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor%20Aller	Victor Aller	Victor Aller (March 26, 1905, New York City – May 1977, in the area of Los Angeles, California) was an American pianist. He had a successful career behind the scenes in the film industry, and he taught piano in Hollywood, where his students sometimes included actors preparing to depict musicians on screen, such as Dirk Bogarde and Cornel Wilde. His present fame, however, rests primarily on his performances in acclaimed 1950s-vintage Capitol Records recordings with the Hollywood String Quartet, including accounts of piano quintets by Johannes Brahms, César Franck, and Dmitri Shostakovich, and the Brahms piano quartets. Aller had family and professional ties to the quartet. His sister, Eleanor Aller, was its cellist, and her husband, Felix Slatkin, was its first violinist. They and the other quartet members were all musicians with the Hollywood studios of the era, and Victor Aller was the orchestra manager at Warner Bros. during the 1940s; by 1949, his hourly earnings amounted to $19.95 according to company records. Aller was married to violinist Ester Heller whom he met while both were attending Juilliard. A Warner film in which Victor Aller had direct input was The Beast with Five Fingers. Mr. Aller made a piano arrangement for the left hand of the Chaconne from J. S Bach's Violin Partita in D minor, and, according to a press release, he spent 200 hours training actor Victor Francen in proper technique. Victor Aller's hand was used when the hand plays the piano in the film. Victor sat underneath the piano, wearing black velvet on his arm, so that the hand appeared disembodied. For Song Without End Victor provided technical instruction to Dirk Bogarde, who played the leading role of Franz Liszt. Aller's musical heritage lives on with relatives in succeeding generations. His daughter is concert violinist Judith Aller, and son Richard Aller a student of Jascha Heifetz; his nephew, son of Felix Slatkin and Eleanor Aller, is noted American orchestra conductor Leonard Slatkin. Leonard's brother, Frederick Zlotkin, an outstanding cellist, is the principal solo cello of the New York City Ballet, and a member of the Lyric Piano Quartet.

Based in Madison, Wisconsin, the Madison Scouts was one of the thirteen founding member corps of Drum Corps International (DCI) and is a two-time DCI World Champion. Until the Madison Scouts in 2018 featured a female performer for only the fourth time in the corps' history, naming her the "first female full-member" of the corps, they had remained one of only two all-male corps, the other being The Cavaliers. On July 7, 2019, The Scouts made it official, adopting a "non-discrimination policy that expands membership to both genders to participate in the Madison Scouts, effectively opening the way for women to become members of the corps." History The corps originated on December 3, 1920 under the direction of Lewis Kessler and maintained an active performance schedule through the end of 1925. Leadership changes in the Council combined with flagging participation in Scouting resulted in the corps activity being paused in the fall of 1925. Attempts were made in 1928 and 1930 to restart the corps but to no avail, likely hampered by the Great Depression. A revitalization of the Council began in 1935, which saw the return of Lewis Kessler's involvement. In October 1937, the Four Lakes Council began to actively recruit members to restart the corps. The 1938 redux would have E.J. Hess as its director and Clarence H. Beebe as the corps' director, a position he would hold for thirty years until his death in 1968 The advisory committee to guide the musical unit included none other than Lewis Kessler, the original corps director. In its early days, the corps performed concerts and appeared in many local parades. During World War II the corps participated in War Bond rallies. The corps was split in 1951, with the older members becoming the Madison Explorer Scouts and the younger assigned to the Madison Junior Scouts, a cadet "feeder" corps for the older unit. In 1954 the Explorer Scouts entered field competitions and, in their first "national" competition, finished second at the VFW Nationals in Philadelphia. They repeated as runners-up at Boston in 1955. In 1956, they attended the American Legion Nationals in Los Angeles and also placed second. They were then finalists at VFW Nationals from 1957 through 1962, and also made American Legion Finals in 1958 and 1959. In the early 1960s the corps switched from Explorer Scout uniforms to West Point cadet style uniforms. While attending VFW Nationals from 1964 through 1969, they made a finals appearance only with a 10th place tie in 1966. In 1969, Bill Howard became corps director, and the corps returned to wearing Explorer uniforms. The corps made immediate improvements and returned to VFW finals in 1970 and 1971. In 1971, at the urging of Cavaliers founder Don Warren and Troopers founder Jim Jones, the Blue Stars, Cavaliers, Madison Scouts, Santa Clara Vanguard, and Troopers formed the Midwest Combine. This was in reaction to the rigid, inflexible rules of the American Legion and VFW (the primary rule makers and sponsors of both corps and shows), and the low or nonexistent performance fees paid for appearing in the various competitions. The corps felt that the existing competitive circuits stifled creativity and starved corps financially. (A similar group of Eastern corps, the United Organization of Junior Corps, also known as the Alliance, was formed by the 27th Lancers, Garfield Cadets, Boston Crusaders, Blessed Sacrament Golden Knights, and Blue Rock.) The Combine members believed that member corps should be able to make their own rules, operate their own competitions and championships, and keep the bulk of the monies earned. For the 1971 season, the corps stuck together, offering show promoters the five corps as a package. Despite pressure on show sponsors, judges, and other drum corps, the Combine corps booked into a number of shows together. They even hosted a multi-corps competition themselves, which was a spectacular success despite fears of failure that lasted until a standing-room-only crowd arrived at the last moment. In 1972 all ten corps from the Midwest Combine and the Alliance—plus the Anaheim Kingsmen, Argonne Rebels, and De La Salle Oaklands—were founding members of Drum Corps International, which remains the sanctioning body for junior corps in North America. At the first DCI World Championships in Whitewater, Wisconsin, the Scouts finished in fourteenth in a competition that featured thirty-nine corps from the East, the South, the West Coast, the Midwest and Great Plains, and Canada. In 1973, the Scouts rose all the way up to fourth place. The following year they were DCI runners-up, and in Philadelphia in 1975, the Madison Scouts became the third corps to win the DCI World Championship. Throughout the 1970s the Scouts became regulars in CYO Nationals as well, making Finals in 1973 through 1979 and winning in 1974 and 1975. In 1980, after sixteen previous appearances and ten prior Finals, the Madison Scouts won VFW Nationals in Chicago. That year they toured Canada, finishing sixth at the DCI Finals in Birmingham, Alabama, with only a 3.55 points difference between first and sixth. At this time the corps started working towards composing the entire staff with Scouts alumni, with Bill Howard stepping down and being replaced by Scott Stewart as corps director. Through the 1980s Madison stayed in DCI Finals but generally never made it to the championship level. In June 1988, after winning their first five Drum Corps Midwest (DCM) shows, the Madison Scouts went to Europe as part of their fiftieth anniversary celebration. They presented clinics and performed in exhibition at contests that included all of the corps from Great Britain, the Netherlands, and Germany. The corps returned to find themselves trailing Phantom Regiment, Star of Indiana, and The Cavaliers at the DCM Championships in DeKalb, Illinois. At DCI Midwest in Whitewater, they were behind the Santa Clara Vanguard and Blue Devils. Improving as the season went on, by DCI South in Birmingham, Alabama, they trailed only Santa Clara. And, by DCI Semifinals in Kansas City, Missouri, the Madison Scouts were in command, with a performance that left the crowd screaming for more. They gave more in Finals and won their second DCI World Championship. In 1990 the organization dropped the name Scouts from the corporate name and allowed the charter for Boy Scout Troop 600 to lapse, although the corps remained affiliated with Scouting for another two decades. The Scouts began the conversion to three valve horns in 1991. By 1992, Madison was marching more than a dozen members from outside the U.S., with members coming from Canada, Great Britain, Japan, and the Netherlands. In 1995 the Junior Scouts merged with the Capitolaires Drum and Bugle Corps, an all-girl corps from Madison. The resulting coed Capital Sound Drum and Bugle Corps would operate under the Madison banner, and the Capitolaires' bingo game further solidified the Scouts' finances. Southwind Drum and Bugle Corps was brought into the Madison organization in 1997, relocating from Montgomery, Alabama to Lexington, Kentucky in order to compete in DCM. Through the 1990s, the Scouts would continue to place as a Finalist in DCI with a series of successful programs. m The century turned with the Madison Scouts still in the DCI Top Twelve. In 2002, South Africa was added to the list of countries represented in the corps' membership, and Scott Stewart retired after a fourteenth-place finish at the 2002 DCI Finals, at home in Camp Randall Stadium. This was the first year the Scouts had not placed in the Top Twelve since 1973, and only the second time that the Scouts had missed Finals in DCI's 31 seasons. The corps would return to Finals in 2003-2006, but with frequent staff turnover they fell to fifteenth in 2007 and again in 2009. The Organization would also sever its ties to both Capitol Sound and Southwind. In 2010 Jim Mason, former director of Star of Indiana and its offshoots, was hired as program coordinator / artistic director. The Madison Scouts returned to DCI Finals under his guidance in 2010 through 2014. In 2014 Mason's petitions to DCI brought about a major change of format: for the first time, any brass instrument was allowed in field competition. The Scouts' 2014 show featured a trombone quartet to some controversy. 2015 brought the return of Scott Boerma, who had previously arranged Madison's music from 1989-2006, as brass arranger. The Scouts achieved a momentary rise to 8th place that year. However, success did not last long, as the corps dipped to their lowest-ever positions of 16th place in 2018 and 17th in 2019. 2019 the corps made a sweeping change to the design and instructional team. Madison Scout alumnus, Jason Robb was hired as program coordinator / artistic director and Nicholas Monzi as Educational Director. The 2020 production was never announced before the COVID19 pandemic hit. Sponsorship The Madison Scouts are sponsored by Forward Performing Arts Association, Inc., a 501 (c) (3) musical organization. The Executive Director is Chris Komnick and the Programs Director is David Lofy. Since 2017 the organization has also sponsored the Mad Brass SoundSport team, a marching band competing in DCI's SoundSport activity. In 2018 the organization will add Fleurish Winds, a coed ensemble that will perform in WGI Winds.

Caption Awards At the annual World Championship Finals, Drum Corps International (DCI) presents awards to the corps with the high average scores from prelims, semifinals, and finals in five captions. Prior to 2000 and the adoption of the current scoring format, the Madison Scouts won these captions: High General Effect Award 1974 (tie), High Visual Award 1975, 1988 High Color Guard Award 1983 High Brass Award 1973, 1974, 1975, 1995 (3 way tie) Traditions Corps logo Having originated as a unit within the Boy Scouts, the Madison Scouts have historically utilized some form of the fleur-de-lis in their logo. Over the past several decades, different customized fleurs have been created and used to represent the corps. In 2009 the corps developed and officially adopted and a unique fleur and badge logo that is currently in use as the corps' official trademarked logo. The corps' official colors are dark green and white. Corps song The Scouts first performed You'll Never Walk Alone as a part of their first field show in 1954. Challenged by the Cavaliers singing Somewhere, Over The Rainbow in 1957, the corps responded with You'll Never Walk Alone, and it has remained the official corps song to this day. Female performers In both the 1971 production of "The Wizard of Oz" and the 2005 production of "Carmen", the Scouts used one female performer in each show. At VFW Nationals in 1980, 3 females joined the corps as guests in the "American party," which displayed the Wisconsin, American, and VFW flags. All females were considered "guest performers" of the all-male corps. In 2018, the Scouts featured a female performer for the fourth time in the corps' history, the first ever to be designated a full member. On July 7, 2019, The Scouts made it official, adopting a "non-discrimination policy that expands membership to all genders to participate in the Madison Scouts, effectively opening the way for women to become members of the corps." Madison city flag Corps members Rick and Dennis Stone, assisted by color guard instructor John Fries, designed a flag for the corps' color guard to carry as a flag for the City of Madison, which did not have a city flag. On April 12, 1962 the Madison City Council adopted a resolution adopting this flag as the official flag of the city of Madison. In 2007, to honor the Madison Scouts' seventieth anniversary and the forty-fifth anniversary of its adoption as the city flag, the City of Madison presented a flag to the corps, which the Scouts continue to carry on tour. Scouting and the Madison Scouts Throughout most of its history, the corps was an Explorer Troop (Post 600) of the Four Lakes Council. The corps was eventually reassigned as Venturing Crew 600 of the Glacier's Edge Council. In 2011, the corps was reassigned as an Explorer Post.

69558724	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa%20Pettersson	Lisa Pettersson	Lisa Pettersson (born 31 July 1995) is a Swedish professional golfer and member of the Symetra Tour and Ladies European Tour. Amateur career Pettersson finished tied third at the 2013 Annika Invitational Europe, behind Malene Krølbøll Hansen and Celia Barquin Arozamena. She was in contention at the 2016 European Ladies Amateur Championship held at Hook Golf Club, Sweden. She was in second place behind Leslie Cloots of Belgium ahead of the final round. Pettersson had shot 72, 70 and 65 to put herself in a spot to make a challenge for the title, but a disappointing 75 on the final day saw her finish in a tie for 6th. Pettersson played college golf with East Carolina University between 2014 and 2018, majoring in business. She was twice named First-Team All-American Athletic Conference and as a senior named ECU's Most Outstanding Female Scholar Athlete at the annual Breakfast of Champions. Professional career After Pettersson graduated in 2018, she turned professional and played on the Swedish Golf Tour, where she was runner-up behind Sara Kjellker at the Carpe Diem Beds Trophy, tied for third at the Skaftö Open behind Malene Krølbøll Hansen and Filippa Möörk, and successfully defeated Sofie Bringner in the final of the Swedish Matchplay Championship. In 2019, Pettersson joined the Symetra Tour. Her best finish was a solo third at the 2019 IOA Golf Classic, five strokes behind Marta Sanz Barrio. Pettersson lost a playoff to Anna Nordqvist at the Cactus Tour's Moon Valley stop in March 2020, during the LPGA Tour's pandemic hiatus. Nordqvist shot a final-round 66 to tie Pettersson, and won with a 12-foot birdie putt on the second playoff hole. In December 2021, Pettersson finished in second place at the LET Q-School, on eight-under-par with rounds of 73, 71, 67, 70 and 72, securing a Ladies European Tour card for 2022.

2648307	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant%20Replay%20%28The%20Monkees%20album%29	Instant Replay (The Monkees album)	Instant Replay is the seventh studio album by the Monkees. Issued 11 months after the cancellation of the group's NBC television series, it is also the first album released after Peter Tork left the group and the only album of the original nine studio albums that does not include any songs featured in the TV show. History Although the Monkees had recorded dozens of tracks between the time of their last studio album, spring 1968's The Birds, The Bees & the Monkees (a soundtrack LP from their film Head had been released between the two studio LPs), several of the songs on Instant Replay actually dated from sessions up to two and a half years earlier. The band's new music coordinator (and former road manager), Brendan Cahill, believed that releasing previously unused tracks recorded in 1966—prior to the group's seizing control of their own recording process—was the way for the group to regain commercial success. The album's lead single, "Tear Drop City," written by Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart, was one of the songs taken from the vault and was identified by Michael Nesmith as their intended first single in 1966. Notably similar to the group's first hit "Last Train to Clarksville" (also written by Boyce & Hart), the song was sped up around 9 percent from the original recording, changing the song's key from G to A-flat. The track was not a major hit, only managing to reach No. 56 on the U.S. charts, while reaching No. 34 in Australia. Despite the single's poor chart performance, the album charted on the Billboard Top 40 Albums chart at No. 32. Micky Dolenz's "Just a Game" had originally been written during the sessions for the album Headquarters (1967), while Nesmith's "Don't Wait for Me" was the first released product of his 1968 sessions with Nashville studio musicians. Davy Jones' "You and I" featured guitar work from Neil Young. Production notes Two songs from these sessions, "A Man Without a Dream" and "Someday Man" (later issued as the B-side of the "Listen to the Band" single), were produced by Bones Howe and recorded at Wally Heider's Studio. Howe brought in Wrecking Crew musicians, including Tommy Tedesco (guitar), Joe Osborn (bass) and Hal Blaine (drums), and a nine-piece horn section. Despite having already quit the group, Peter Tork makes an appearance on this album by playing guitar on the 1966 outtake "I Won't Be the Same Without Her."

H. Lawrence, first published posthumously in 1932. In this book Lawrence contrasted the life affirming world of the Etruscans with the shabbiness of Benito Mussolini's Italy during the late 1920s. In preparing these essays, Lawrence travelled through the countryside of Tuscany with his friend Earl Brewster during the spring of 1927. The volume published in 1932 included the following essays: Cerveteri Tarquinia The Painted Tombs of Tarquinia 1 The Painted Tombs of Tarquinia 2 Vulci Volterra The Florence Museum Further reading Sketches of Etruscan Places and other Italian Essays (1932), edited by Simonetta de Filippis, Cambridge University Press, 1992, . The essays in this definitive scholarly text, based upon Lawrence's manuscripts, typescripts and corrected proofs, include those taken from the original collection. In addition, this volume includes other Italian essays such as: David Looking Down on the City Europe Versus America Fireworks The Nightingale Man is a Hunter Flowery Tuscany Germans and English Lawrence's original intention was to publish his text with a sequence of related photographs.

44000268	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vyvyan%20Lorrayne	Vyvyan Lorrayne	Vyvyan Lorrayne (born 20 April 1939) is a South African ballet dancer, now retired. Noted as a "softly classical stylist," she won acclaim as a principal dancer in England's Royal Ballet during the 1960s and 1970s. Early life and training Lorrayne was born in Pretoria, the executive capital of South Africa, located in the northern province of Transvaal (now Gauteng). Her parents were Anglophones of British stock, although Pretoria was at the time largely populated by Afrikaners. Having contracted polio when she was four and a half years old, she was sent to numerous dance classes to help in her recovery. Upon finding that only the strict Russian systems of ballet training really helped, she became a pupil of Faith de Villiers, a popular teacher of the Cecchetti method in Johannesburg, not far from her home town. In the early 1950s, the teenage Lorrayne danced with the Johannesburg City Ballet, directed by de Villiers, and, in Natal (now KwaZulu-Natal), with the Durban Civic Ballet, where she studied with Poppins Salomon, a specialist in remedial dance work. In 1956, at age eighteen, she immigrated to England, settled in London, and enrolled in the Royal Ballet School on Barons Court Road. After a year's study there, she was hired as an artist of the Covent Garden Opera Ballet. Performing career Lorrayne spent only a few months with the opera company. Later in 1957, she was taken into The Royal Ballet, where she would remain for the next twenty-two years. During her first decade with the company, she rose slowly through the ranks, until she was appointed a principal dancer in 1967. Favored by Sir Frederick Ashton, chief choreographer of the Royal Ballet, she created memorable roles in four of his later works. With Anthony Dowell and Robert Mead, she danced in the premiere of Monotones (1965), a mesmerizing pas de trois of amazing plasticity and coordination set to the gently haunting Gymnopédies of Erik Satie as orchestrated by Claude Debussy and Alexis Roland-Manuel. In Jazz Calendar (1968), set to music by Richard Rodney Bennett, she led the Wednesday ensemble, and in Enigma Variations (My Friends Pictured Within) (also 1968), set to music by Sir Edward Elgar, she portrayed Isabel Fitton (Ysobel), a viola student of Elgar's. Dancing to Variation VI (Andantino), she created a pensive and, for a moment, romantic image of a pretty young girl. In 1972, she danced with Barry McGrath in Siesta, a sultry, erotic pas de deux set to the music of Sir William Walton and created as a pièce d'occasion for his seventieth birthday. Other dancemakers also created roles for Lorrayne. American director and choreographer Joe Layton, known primarily for his work on Broadway, cast her in two works staged for the Royal Ballet: The Grand Tour (1971), set to music of Noěl Coward, arranged by Hershey Kay, and O.W. (1972), concerning Oscar Wilde and set to music by Sir William Walton. Ronald Hynd also cast her in two works, both quintessentially English: In a Summer Garden (1972), set to music by Frederick Delius, and Charlotte Brontë (1974), to music by Douglas Young, in which she danced the title role. Peter Wright looked to France and Spain for inspiration in creating Arpège (1974), set to the Harp Concerto in C by François-Adrien Boieldieu, and El Amor Brujo (1975), set to the famous score by Manuel de Falla. In the latter work, identified as a "ballet pantomimico" by its composer, Lorrayne danced the role of the Andalusian gypsy girl Candela, who is haunted by the ghost of her dead husband. Finally, shortly before she left the company, David Bintley created a fitting farewell role for her in the lightly lyrical Meadow of Proverbs (1979), set to music of Darius Milhaud. Because of her pure classical technique, Lorrayne was cast in many major works in the Royal Ballet repertory, including The Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake, Cinderella, and The Nutcracker. Besides frequent appearances on the stage of the Royal Opera House, she toured with the company around the world, to Europe, the United States, Canada, South Africa, and Australia. She was often partnered by the male stars of the company, including Anthony Dowell, Donald MacLeary, and Rudolf Nureyev. In 1980, she left the Royal Ballet to form her own company, Ballet Imperiale. A small troupe devoted to presenting works in the Russian classical style, Ballet Imperiale toured the English provinces, Wales, and Scotland. Lorrayne served as administrator, manager, artistic director, and principal dancer all rolled into one. Given the burdens of running the company, not to mention the expense, it is little wonder that the troupe was short-lived. Filmography On film and DVDs, Lorrayne's dancing can be seen in two ballet movies made for television by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). She appears as a lead Snowflake in Rudolf Nureyev's staging of The Nutcracker (1968) and as the Fairy Summer in Frederick Ashton's Cinderella (1969). As an actress, she had a featured role as Madam Bergerone in the Paramount film Top Secret! (1984). An action comedy starring Val Kilmer, it is a parody of Elvis Pressley musicals and the spy movies of the Cold War era.

15204686	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008%20Oklahoma%20Democratic%20presidential%20primary	2008 Oklahoma Democratic presidential primary	The 2008 Oklahoma Democratic presidential primary, part of the process of selecting that party's nominee for President of the United States, took place on February 5, one of the many nominating contests of 2008's "Super Tuesday". The primary election chose 38 pledged delegates to represent Oklahoma at the 2008 Democratic National Convention. The remainder of Oklahoma's 47 delegates consisted of unpledged superdelegates not bound by the results of the primary. The election was a closed primary, meaning that only registered Democrats could vote in this election. Hillary Clinton won the primary by a significant margin. Clinton, Barack Obama, and Jim Rogers appeared on the ballot, together with four candidates who had already withdrawn from the contest: Chris Dodd, Bill Richardson, Dennis Kucinich, and John Edwards. All but Rogers had run nationwide campaigns for the presidential nomination; Rogers is a perennial candidate in Oklahoma who had run for lieutenant governor in 2006. Pre-primary polling, predictions, and events Early polling in Oklahoma consistently showed Clinton and Edwards to be the leaders in the state, and Obama a more distant third. The polling also indicated that other candidates were barely registering. In 2004 Edwards narrowly finished second in Oklahoma behind Wesley Clark by about one thousand votes. Oklahoma had been a key state for John Edwards as he made stops in the state January 15 and 18, over three weeks ahead of the primary date, but Edwards withdrew on January 30, 2008. Former President Bill Clinton stopped at the University of Oklahoma on January 30 to speak at a rally supporting his wife. Money raised from Oklahoma Obtained from The Oklahoman Delegates Oklahoma sent 47 delegates to the Democratic National Convention. In order to secure pledged delegates, a candidate had to receive at least 15% of the vote. The delegates were broken down into the following categories: 38 pledged delegates, allocated based on the results of the primary: 25 District Level Delegates were allotted proportionally based on the support each candidate received in each congressional district. There were 5 delegates for each congressional district. 8 At-large Delegates were allotted proportionally based on the support each candidate received statewide. 5 party leaders and elected officials ("PLEO Delegates") were allotted proportionally based on the support each candidate received statewide. 9 unpledged superdelegates consisting of PLEOs were not bound by the results of the primary.

896460	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zerbst	Zerbst	Zerbst () is a town in the district of Anhalt-Bitterfeld, in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. Until an administrative reform in 2007, Zerbst was the capital of the former Anhalt-Zerbst district. Geography Zerbst is situated in the Anhalt-Wittenberg region, with its town centre located on the river Nuthe about northeast of the Elbe, halfway between Magdeburg and Wittenberg. With the 1 January 2010 local government reform, the 21 formerly independent communities of the disbanded Verwaltungsgemeinschaft (municipal association) Elbe-Ehle-Nuthe were incorporated into the town. Zerbst today counts about 24,000 inhabitants and, at , is the fifth largest town in Germany by area. The current municipal area stretches from the Elbe in the southwest up to the Fläming Heath and the state border with Brandenburg in the northeast. Divisions The town Zerbst consists of Zerbst proper and the following 24 Ortschaften or municipal divisions: Bias Bornum Buhlendorf Deetz Dobritz Gehrden Gödnitz Grimme Güterglück Hohenlepte Jütrichau Leps Lindau Luso Moritz Nedlitz Nutha Polenzko Pulspforde Reuden Steutz Straguth Walternienburg Zernitz History In the 8th century the area east of the Elbe was settled by Polabian Slavs (Sorbs). Part of the border region with the adjacent Saxon region around Magdeburg in the west, it was incorporated into the Gau Ciervisti of the Saxon Eastern March (Marca Geronis) about 937 in the course of the German Ostsiedlung. It is not clear when Zerbst was founded; however, the name Ciervisti mentioned as early as 949 may already refer to a fortified Slavic settlement. The chronicles by Prince-Bishop Thietmar of Merseburg recorded the first mention of a town as Zirwisti urbs in 1018, giving an account of the occupation by the Polish duke Bolesław I Chrobry during the German–Polish War with King Henry II in 1007. In the early 12th century the Ascanian ruler Albert the Bear had the fortress rebuilt, and the adjacent settlement was first fortified with town walls about 1250. In 1307 Prince Albert I of Anhalt acquired the city of Zerbst from the Barby comital family, starting a centuries-long rule by the Ascanian princely House of Anhalt. His descendants continued to rule the Principality of Anhalt-Zerbst until in 1396 it was divided between Prince Sigismund I and his brother Albert IV, and the residence was moved to Dessau. In 1375 Zerbster Bitterbier was first mentioned; by the Middle Ages the town had 600 breweries. Following the Reformation Zerbst became a Calvinist centre. From 1582 to 1798 the Francisceum Gymnasium Illustre was an important Calvinist college. From 1603 to 1793 Zerbst again was the residence of the Anhalt-Zerbst princes, whose rule included among others also the Lordship of Jever in East Frisia. From 1722 to 1758, the Baroque composer Johann Friedrich Fasch resided there and was employed as a Hofkomponist and later Hofkapellmeister. To honour his memory, the Fasch Festivals have taken place in the city since 1983. In 1745 Princess Sophie Auguste Friederike von Anhalt-Zerbst married Peter of Holstein-Gottorp, the heir apparent to the Russian throne. As Catherine II (the Great) she herself reigned as Empress of Russia from until ). In 1797 Zerbst became a component of the Principality of Anhalt-Dessau. From 1891 to 1928 a horse-drawn streetcar was operated in Zerbst, one of the longest surviving among such streetcars in Germany. In the later part of the Second World War a Nazi labour camp was established on the edge of the military airfield, housing so-called "First-degree Hybrids" and "Jüdisch Versippte" (i.e., people with some Jewish blood, enough in Nazi terms to justify badly mistreating them but not killing them outright). 700 inmates from there were used for hard labour in road and airport construction as well as peat digging. On 16 April 1945 – just a few weeks before the final surrender of Nazi Germany – some eighty percent of Zerbst was destroyed in an Allied air raid. The old town was rebuilt in the following decades resulting in a fundamental change of the townscape, as only a few historical structures were preserved or reconstructed. On 1 July 2006, the town of Zerbst was renamed Zerbst/Anhalt. A year later, on 1 July 2007, the town of Zerbst/Anhalt was incorporated together with several other municipalities of the Zerbst administrative district, creating the renewed Anhalt-Bitterfeld administrative district with its capital at Köthen.

40756722	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Festival%20N%C2%B06	Festival N°6	Festival N°6 (Festival Number 6) is an annual art and music festival held in and around Portmeirion, North Wales. The festival presents a wide range of music genres across multiple stages. It is advertised as a family-friendly festival, and as such various areas of the festival are targeted to families, such as "No.6's Mischief Meadow" for children and a designated family camping area. In 2013 one of the organizers stated that due to the size of the village the festival was not likely to grow beyond 10,000 attendees across the weekend. In July 2018 the festival organisers announced that the festival would be taking an indefinite break. Overview The first event took place on 14 September 2012; around 6,500 people attended the festival. It has returned every year since, as of 2017. Village of Portmeirion The festival takes place in then north of Wales in the village of Portmeirion on the Snowdonia coast in the Welsh county of Gwynedd. The village location is composed of many edifices inspired by the architecture of an Italian coastal town. Portmeirion village was built between 1925 and 1978 by the architect Sir Clough Williams-Ellis. The festival takes place throughout the village, with the main music events located in adjacent fields; the typical Italian infrastructures show an atypical side of Portmeirion village which is part of the festival atmosphere. The music events and activities range from the Colonnade Gardens to the River Dwyryd, from the Tanglewoods to the beach. The Prisoner The festival's name is based on the cult TV show The Prisoner, which was filmed largely on location at Portmeirion. The main character is called "Number 6", and was played by the actor Patrick McGoohan. In the series, Number 6 is a secret agent held as a prisoner in a mysterious coastal village. This TV show is iconic of the village and made it famous internationally. Art, culture and other activities The N°6 Festival includes live music, poetry readings, comedy, talks and other cultural activities. The festival also includes a range of participative activities to complement the mainstream music events and develop differentiation from other music festivals. These have included "Giant Mind", "Urban Sketching", and "Extraordinary Bubbles". The Slow Readers Club released a mini-album on 4 May 2018, recorded with Joe Duddell at Portmeirion Town Hall called Live From Festival No.6. BBC Radio Wales also regularly broadcast live from the festival, with DJs Adam Walton and Bethan Elfyn presenting shows from the site. Artists Since 2012 Festival N°6 has hosted hundreds of musical artists and many other artists performing comedy, talks or performance art. The 2012 festival was in partnership with Electric Elephant Festival. Artists that performed since 2012 have included: Accommodation During the event, Portmeirion's village offers visitors a limited availability of accommodation in the village itself.

62032206	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel%20Lee%20%28designer%29	Daniel Lee (designer)	Daniel Lee (born 22 January 1986) is an English fashion designer. He was the creative director of the Italian luxury fashion house Bottega Veneta from 2018 to 2021. Biography Early life Daniel Lee grew up in Bradford, England. His father was a mechanic and his mother was an office worker. Daniel Lee first attended the Dixons City Academy, and then graduated from the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design (master's degree) where he was tutored by Louise Wilson. He was an intern at Maison Margiela and Balenciaga (under the direction of Nicolas Ghesquière), and landed a position at Donna Karan in New York after his graduation in 2010. In 2012, Daniel Lee left Donna Karan for Céline in Paris, where he started as a member of the design team and eventually became the director of ready-to-wear design. He assisted Phoebe Philo in developing the minimal aesthetic that led to the brand's booming popularity. Bottega Veneta In June 2018, Kering appointed Daniel Lee as creative director of Bottega Veneta, to give a new impetus to the Italian luxury fashion house and develop its ready-to-wear collection. His agenda also included rebooting the men’s ready-to-wear collection and launching a home collection. Daniel Lee maintained the team of artisans. He preserved Bottega Veneta’s emphasis on well-crafted, logoless and simplicity-driven products. To give a new look to Bottega Veneta, he inflated the Intrecciato designs to capitalize on the brand's most iconic features, and infused more hedonism/desirability in the brand's products. He designed the Pouch clutch bag which became the fastest selling bag in the history of the brand. Harpers Bazaar commented: Bottega Veneta has become one of fashion's most popular brands in 2019, thanks to its quiet, modern elegance reinterpreted by Lee. His transformation of Bottega Veneta is coined “New Bottega”. He was tagged "The Quiet Radical" by Vogue, and “fashion’s new wonder boy” by Harper’s Bazaar. Since early April 2021, the Berlin police has been investigating whether Bottega Veneta staged afterparties at the Soho House (club) without social distancing or masking. In 2021, Lee designed costumes for the Venice Dance Biennale. On November 10, 2021, Bottega Veneta and Lee announced he would be leaving his post as creative director in a "joint decision to end their collaboration."

9807687	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Et%20Dieu%20cr%C3%A9a...%20Laflaque	Et Dieu créa... Laflaque	Et Dieu créa... Laflaque (later Ici Laflaque) was a satirical show on Quebec television that commented on current events through its main character, Gérard D. Laflaque, a stereotypical family father. According to Stéphan Bureau, the show characterized a major source of vicarious embarrassment for the younger generation. Created by the cartoonist Serge Chapleau, it was broadcast on a weekly basis between 2004 and 2019 by Télévision de Radio-Canada. Its original title translates to "And God Created... Laflaque" (a satirical reference to the Brigitte Bardot film Et Dieu créa... la femme), and its renamed title of Ici Laflaque ("This Is Laflaque") is a play on the classic announcement "Ici Radio-Canada." Concept Gérard D. Laflaque made his television debut in the early 1980s as a latex puppet, but was eventually created using CGI animation. His name was inspired by former minister and acting leader of the Quebec Liberal Party Gérard D. Levesque. The program follows two storylines. The first involves Laflaque’s family life with his wife Georgette, his son Marcel and Marcel's Asian girlfriend Laurence, his insufferable father Pépère, his dog Tarzan and his next-door neighbour, a gay inventor named Edmond. A caricature of reporter Louise Cousineau joined the cast as a recurring character who owns a corner store. As part of the second storyline, Laflaque picked apart the news of the day with no holds barred on a current-affairs show accompanied by his cameramen Roger and Henri (later replaced by a man who is part of numerous religions), his producer Paulo, the lovely Sarah-Laurie Joly and the puppet Ti-Bas. A later arrival was a caricature of intellectual Denise Bombardier. Laflaque regularly welcomed all kinds of guests, mostly caricatures of politicians including Paul Martin, Jean Charest, Stephen Harper, Gilles Duceppe, Jacques Parizeau, André Boisclair, George W. Bush, Guy Bertrand, Mario Dumont, Pauline Marois, Stéphane Dion, Michael Ignatieff, Jack Layton, Nicolas Sarkozy, Régis Labeaume and Denis Coderre. Journalist Christopher Hall made regular appearances to deliver reports and ask ridiculous questions to people in the streets until the end of Season 3. Sometimes, segments unrelated to the news appeared in the "current affairs" part of the show, such as a cooking segment, the "Petit Laflaque Illustre," which explains an everyday object in a ridiculous way and "Stade Trek," a Star Trek parody featuring the former political leaders cruising around the galaxy in Montreal's Olympic Stadium.

31787921	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul%20Aue	Paul Aue	Oberst Paul Aue was a World War I flying ace from the Kingdom of Saxony in the German Empire. Partial records of his early aviation career credit him with 10 aerial victories. He would join the nascent Luftwaffe during the 1930s and serve Germany through World War II. He died in a Russian prison camp in 1945. Early life Paul Aue was born on 7 October 1891 in Söbringen, Kingdom of Saxony. He matured into a small man; some sources even call him "diminutive". World War I In 1916, Aue served with Kampstaffel 30 of Kampgeschwader 5. Flying a two-seater reconnaissance plane, Aue and his observer managed to down a similar craft, a Royal Aircraft Factory BE.2c, on 25 October 1916. Aue was then credited with two more victories before being transferred to Jasta 10 that same month. He scored his—and his new squadron's—first victory on 25 March 1917. He struck again on 7 June, wounding a British Spad VII pilot, and driving pilot and plane into captivity. Aue was wounded in action on 19 September 1917 while piloting a Pfalz D.III. During a dogfight at 3,000 meters with two dozen British Royal Naval Air Service planes from Naval 10 Squadron above Roulers, France the German sergeant ace was hit by three English bullets, one of them an explosive round. Though he refused to leave his unit, his wounds kept him out of action until February 1918; he would not score another victory until 3 May 1918, when he shot down a Bristol F.2 Fighter, killing the pilot and wounding the gunner. It would be his last victory while flying the Pfalz, as Jasta 10 was upgrading to Fokker D.VIIs. On 16 June 1918, Aue attacked and destroyed an enemy observation balloon for his seventh confirmed win. He went on to shoot down three more enemy fighter planes, his last victory coming on 4 September 1918. Between the wars Paul Aue joined the nascent Luftwaffe during the 1930s. World War II On 1 November 1939, Oberst Paul Aue was appointed to command of Blindflugschule 1 of the Luftwaffe. Blindflugschule 1's ("Blind Flying School 1")'s airfield was shared with a formation of Messerschmitt Me 163 rocket planes. Aue would head the school until 16 April 1945, when the school disbanded. He was captured by the Soviet Army, and died in a prisoner of war camp. List of aerial victories Details of Paul Aue's victories are incomplete. An attempt to collate these details and produce a complete victory list appears below. Please include a source/citation for any additions.

14667220	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frenectomy	Frenectomy	A frenectomy is the removal of a frenulum, a small fold of tissue that prevents an organ in the body from moving too far. It can refer to frenula in several places on the human body. It is related to frenuloplasty, a surgical alteration in a frenulum. Done mostly for orthodontic purposes, a frenectomy is either performed inside the middle of the upper lip, which is called labial frenectomy, or under the tongue, called lingual frenectomy. Frenectomy is a very common dental procedure that is performed on infants, children, and adults. A similar procedure frenulotomy is where a tight frenulum may be relieved by making an incision in the tight tissue. Types There are several frenula that are associated with types of frenectomy: Genital frenectomy can be performed to remove frenulums from genitalia Lingual frenectomy (of the tongue) as a treatment for ankyloglossia (tongue-tie) Labial frenectomy (of the lip) is very common with patients undergoing denture treatment to get the proper fit of dentures or patients who have tissues attached to center of the upper lip and causing recession of gums or gap between the upper front teeth called central incisors. A frenectomy can also be performed to remove a section of tissue (the frenulum) that attached to the gingival tissue between two teeth. Pediatric and Infant Frenectomies In the past, the frenectomy procedure was perhaps the most popular of soft tissue operations in younger patients. Many labial and lingual frenum (tongue- and lip-ties) were snipped by a midwife, family doctor or dental surgeon. The overall awareness and treatment of tongue- and lip-ties especially in breastfeeding infants has increased over recent years. Frenectomies are routinely performed on infants to improve breastfeeding outcomes. In 2020, medical professionals raised the concern that a recent rise in unnecessary frenectomies on infants may be encouraged in part by information shared in online parenting groups. While public healthcare options (e.g. NHS) may not cover frenulectomies, in part due to these concerns, private clinic surgeries remain viable options for concerned parents. Traditionally tongue-ties are diagnosed by appearance alone; newer research advocates for a functional assessment to determine any deleterious effect on breastfeeding. Before any surgical intervention for difficulties related to breastfeeding, preoperative consultation with a certified lactation consultant is recommended. Laser frenectomy with CO2 surgical lasers Frenectomies can be safely and efficiently released with the soft tissue 10,600 nm CO2 laser with predictable and repeatable tissue response, fast ablation and instant hemostasis. The extremely precise cutting, minimal collateral damage, clear and bloodless operating field, make the CO2 laser a good choice for frenectomy procedures. CO2 laser oral surgery also features less wound contraction and reduced scarring or fibrosis in comparison with scalpel incisions.

3563475	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arto%20Tun%C3%A7boyac%C4%B1yan	Arto Tunçboyacıyan	Arto Tunçboyacıyan ( (Art'ō T'unjpoyajean); born 4 August, 1957) is a United States-based avant-garde folk and jazz multi-instrumentalist and singer of Armenian descent. He fronts his own group called the Armenian Navy Band, and is also a member of the instrumental quartet Night Ark. Tunçboyacıyan had appeared on more than 200 records in Europe before arriving in the United States, where he went on to work with numerous jazz musicians including Chet Baker, Marc Johnson, Al Di Meola, and Joe Zawinul, as well as performing semi-regularly with Paul Winter and the Earth Band. He has worked with Turkish singer Sezen Aksu and the Greek singer Eleftheria Arvanitaki. Tunçboyacıyan's elder brother Onno Tunç was also a musician, and they have collaborated on several occasions. Early life Arto Tunçboyacıyan was born in Istanbul, Turkey His father was a shoemaker of Armenian descent. At the age of 11, he began his career playing and recording traditional Anatolian music with various musicians, including his brother Onno Tunç, thus establishing himself as a professional musician throughout Turkey and Europe. In 1981, Tunçboyacıyan moved to the United States and settled in New York. Career Arto started an association with Armenian-American oud player Ara Dinkjian. In 1985, the quartet Night Ark was founded and led by Ara Dinkjian. Arto recorded the duo project with Ara Dinkjian "Tears of Dignity" (1994) and "Onno" (1996) homage to his brother Onno who died in a plane crash in 1996. In 1988, his solo albums Virginland and Main Root were released. In 1997 Aile Muhabbeti was released in Turkey and used as a movie soundtrack. He composed the songs with Armenian and Turkish musicians. In 2000 he released Every Day is a New Life. In 1998, Tunçboyacıyan returned to the Armenian capital, Yerevan, and met pianist and keyboardist Vahagn Hayrapetyan. They soon organised a rehearsal in order to recruit musicians to start a band. Ten local musicians were enlisted, thus becoming the Armenian Navy Band. Some months later, in 1999, the band recorded their first album, called Bzdik Zinvor, in Yerevan. The recording was followed by their first European tour in 2000, in Italy, Germany, Austria and Spain The band then performed concerts in France, Belgium and the Netherlands. During a 2001 stop in Istanbul, the Armenian Navy Band recorded their second album, New Apricot, in 2001. Armenian Navy Band's next album was Türkçe Sözlü Hafif Anadolu Müziği (), recorded in the winter of 2001. Tunçboyacıyan's 2001 album Aile Muhabbeti was used as soundtrack in two films: Hemşo (2001) and Mon père est ingénieur (2004). Serart is a collaboration with Serj Tankian of System of a Down. They found common ground in shared Armenian backgrounds and a passion for sonic explorations in creating music that is claimed to be "completely new." In the fall of 2003, a new project was born in a Yerevan studio. It was the beginning of a large sound project called "Sound of Our Life – Part One: Natural Seeds". The project was put together by Arto and the Armenian Navy Band, who joined their talents one more time in the fall of 2006 for Part Two. They are hourlong compositions for the ANB and choir and string orchestras. In 2004 Arto Tunçboyacıyan opened the ANB Avant-garde Folk Music Club in Yerevan. In 2006, the Armenian Navy Band was nominated for Best Band of Europe and the Audience Award at the 2006 BBC World Music Awards. There is a hidden track on the album Toxicity by System of a Down where Arto contributed with the band to a traditional Armenian Church hymn, "Der Voghormya (Lord Have Mercy)". He played the instrumental part of "Science" on the same album, and his voice can be heard in the interlude of "Bubbles" from Steal This Album! In 2007 he formed the group Yash-Ar with fellow Turkish-Armenian rock artist Yaşar Kurt. Yash-Ar is made up of first part of his and Yaşar Kurt's first names. In February 2011, Arto Tunçboyacıyan, as a band-member of The Paul Winter Consort, won the Grammy for Best New Age Album for Miho: Journey to the Mountain. Armenian Navy Band The Armenian Navy Band lineup varies from traditional (duduk, zurna, kemanche, kanun) to contemporary (trombone, alto sax, tenor, soprano sax, trumpet, bass, drums, keyboard and piano) instrumentation.

Murder At 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, November 22, 2003, Sjodin, a 22-year-old college student at the University of North Dakota and Gamma Phi Beta sorority member, finished her shift at the Victoria's Secret store located in the Columbia Mall in Grand Forks, North Dakota. After shopping for and purchasing a new purse from Marshall Field's, Sjodin left the mall and began walking to her 1994 Oldsmobile Cutlass. During this time, Sjodin was speaking with her boyfriend, Chris Lang, on her cell phone. Four minutes into their conversation, Lang reports Sjodin was saying "Okay, okay," before the call abruptly ended. Lang suspected that the call was just simply dropped and because Sjodin didn't give any sense of urgency, Lang thought nothing of it. About three hours later, Lang received another call from her cell phone, but heard only static and the sound of buttons being pressed. It was reported by authorities this second phone call originated somewhere near Fisher, Minnesota, but that has remained unsubstantiated. With this second call and Sjodin not showing up at her other job at the El Roco nightclub, there was concern for her whereabouts. A week later, on December 1, a suspect, 50-year-old registered level-3 sex offender Alfonso Rodriguez Jr. (born February 18, 1953), was arrested in connection with Sjodin's disappearance. Perpetrator Alfonso Rodriguez Jr. was the son of migrant farm workers Dolores and Alfonso Rodriguez Sr., who traveled between Crystal City, Texas, and Minnesota and then decided to settle in 1963 in Crookston, Minnesota. He admitted to using many drugs during his youth and committed his first sexual assault with a knife when he was 21 by attempting to rape a woman he asked to give him a ride home. Rodriguez had been released from prison May 1, 2003, after serving a 23-year prison term for rape, aggravated assault and kidnapping a woman. Rodriguez had also previously pleaded guilty to rape and was convicted multiple times for rape. He had a long criminal record that included repeated sexual assaults against women. He was released as a Minnesota Level 3 sex offender which meant he was highly likely to reoffend. Police investigation According to police reports, Rodriguez admitted being near the Columbia Mall the night Sjodin disappeared, allegedly viewing the film Once Upon a Time in Mexico at the Columbia Mall Cinema 4. However, that movie was not playing at that cinema or any other theater in the area. The police also found receipts of purchases that Rodriguez had made at several stores near the mall including one receipt for a knife which he had purchased at a nearby Menards store. Rodriguez apparently had two tool kit knives that could be purchased at only a particular home center store which was about one mile from the mall, but they were not purchased the day Sjodin disappeared and a purchase date for the knives was never established. Police found a tool kit knife in Rodriguez's car that was soaking in some type of cleaning solution inside a rear wheel well. Police also found a woman's shoe and a knife in the car that had blood on it that matched Sjodin's DNA. Sjodin's body was recovered on April 17, 2004, just west of Crookston, Minnesota, when deep snow drifts began to melt. Crookston is also where Rodriguez lived with his mother. Sjodin's body was found partially nude and face down in a ravine. Her hands were tied behind her back and she had been beaten, stabbed, sexually assaulted, and had several lacerations including a five-and-a-half inch cut on her neck. A rope was also tied around her neck and remnants of a shopping bag were found under the rope, suggesting that a bag had been placed on her head. The medical examiner concluded that she had either died as a result of the major neck wound, from suffocation, or from exposure to the elements. Thousands of people had helped search for Sjodin, and hundreds attended her funeral. Trial and sentencing Because Sjodin had been taken across state lines, the crime became a federal case under the Federal Kidnapping Act. This meant that Rodriguez was eligible to receive the death penalty if convicted, a possibility not allowed under North Dakota or Minnesota law, as neither states have the death penalty. It was the first death penalty case in a century to take place in North Dakota. U.S. Attorney Drew Wrigley and Assistant U.S. Attorneys Keith Reisenauer and Norman Anderson prosecuted the case against Rodriguez. On August 30, 2006, Rodriguez was convicted in federal court of kidnapping resulting in death for the murder of Dru Sjodin, and on September 22, 2006, the jury recommended that he receive the death penalty. On February 8, 2007, Rodriguez was formally sentenced to death by U.S District Judge Ralph R. Erickson. He is imprisoned at United States Penitentiary, Terre Haute, Terre Haute, Indiana. Judge Erickson arranged that Rodriguez would be executed in South Dakota. Rodriguez later admitted his guilt in a death row interview with Dr. Michael Welner on June 28, 2013. In October 2011, defense attorneys filed a federal habeas corpus motion claiming that Rodriguez is mentally disabled. Appeals In 2021, the same judge who sentenced Rodriguez to death, Ralph R. Erickson, now a judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, overturned his sentence and ordered that a new sentencing phase be conducted due to "misleading testimony from a medical examiner and limitations on mental health evidence". Michael McGee's, the Ramsey County Medical Examiner, testimony to the court was “unreliable, misleading and inaccurate” and that Rodriguez's attorneys did him a disservice by opting to limit the mental health evaluation of Rodriguez which could have resulted in the possible use of the insanity defense by their client. Legacy Legislation dubbed "Dru's Law", which set up the Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Registry, was passed in 2006 and signed into law by President George W. Bush. In 2004, a scholarship in Sjodin's name was set up at the University of North Dakota. A memorial garden for Sjodin opened in her hometown of Pequot Lakes, Minnesota, and another is planned for the UND campus.

In 2021, the convictions were overturned. The couple Married couple Shafqat Emmanuel and Shagufta Kausar were living in poverty with their four children in a mission compound of Gojra Church in Toba Tek Singh District in Punjab, Pakistan. Kausar was the only working person in the family. Emmanuel was confined to a wheelchair, due to an accident in 2004 that resulted him in suffering a spinal injury, causing him to be paralyzed below the chest. Prosecution In July 2013, Emmanuel and Kausar were arrested for sending a text message that was deemed blasphemous against the Islamic prophet Muhammad. On 4 April 2014, the illiterate couple were given death sentences for sending the message in English. Despite the couple being illiterate, the additional session judge of Toba Tek Singh sentenced them death on 4 April 2014. They are the first Pakistani couple to have been given the death sentence for blasphemy. The couple said that the complainants’ lawyers kept proclaiming Koranic references that called for death to blasphemers. Even the prosecuting attorneys told the judge that if he will not give them death sentence, they would be ready to become ghazi (Muslim warriors), like Ilm-ud-din and Mumtaz Qadri. Due to the high risk to the couple's security, the whole trial was concluded inside the boundary walls of the prison. Farrukh Saif Foundation and their Partner Emergency Rescue Committee are defending the couple since 2013 and have filed the appeal in the Apex Court against the death sentence. Appeal against the death sentence On 8 April 2014, the Farrukh Saif Foundation filed appeal against the death sentence of Emmanuel and Kausar. On 3 June 2021, the Lahore High Court overturned the convictions due to lack of evidence.

9609990	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheryomushki%20District	Cheryomushki District	Cheryomushki District (, derived from "", meaning "bird cherry tree"), formerly Brezhnevsky District, is a district of South-Western Administrative Okrug of the federal city of Moscow, Russia. Population: The district is delimited by Nakhimovsky Avenue (north), Obrucheva Street (south), Sevastopolsky Avenue (east), Profsoyuznaya Street, and Vlasova Street (west). The district is mostly residential, with an industrial area near Kaluzhskaya metro station. It houses the old Gazprom headquarters. History In 1956, the northern side of the district became a site of a massive, cheap housing construction and a microdistrict was built there. Cheryomushki became a common word for such housing projects. The Soviet-era buildings in this area were torn down in the 1990s-2000s and replaced with high-rises, also of standardized prefabricated concrete. Following the death of leader Leonid Brezhnev, the district was renamed Brezhnevsky District () in his honour. In 1989 the name was changed back to Cheryomushki. In the early 1980s, the government built a number of better quality, brickwork apartment buildings that acquired a reputation of, by local standards, elite housing, and called Tsarskoye Selo (, Royal village). In the 1990s, it served as a nucleus of a massive new housing construction project between Garibaldi Street and Gazprom tower. Politics The head of the local government, Sergey Burkotov, was shot dead in February 2007, in what appears to have been an assassination. Public transportation The western side of the district is accessible by the Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya Line of the Moscow Metro (stations Profsoyuznaya to Kaluzhskaya). The eastern side is also accessible through the Serpukhovsko-Timiryazevskaya Line (Sevastopolskaya, Nakhimovsky Prospekt). Economy Gazprom has its head office in the district. The airline Aero Rent has its head office in the district. In popular culture The Cheryomushki district was immortalized by Shostakovich in his immensely popular operetta Moscow, Cheryomushki. In the operetta, the cheap housing in the district is portrayed ironically as a 'dream come true' for Muscovites who had lost their houses in other, more traditional, parts of Moscow. The operetta satirizes the corruption and bureaucracy of the Soviet state through hilariously observed caricatures. Cheryomushki is also prominently mentioned in the popular film The Irony of Fate, which is traditionally shown on New Year's Eve in Russia and other states of the former USSR. The key subplot of the film is the drab uniformity of Brezhnev era public architecture.

4114299	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goffle%20Brook	Goffle Brook	Goffle Brook is a tributary of the Passaic River which flows south through a section of Passaic County and Bergen County in New Jersey and drains the eastern side of the First Watchung Mountain. Heading up the brook from the confluence with the Passaic River, one encounters the borough of Hawthorne, the village of Ridgewood, the borough of Midland Park, and the township of Wyckoff. History Goffle Brook has seen human occupation for hundreds of years, as evidenced by abundant Lenape camp sites along its banks. Two such camps are known to have existed near the brook’s mouth, while another two existed about one and a half miles upstream on the east bank. A fifth camp, still locally remembered, sat at the confluence of Deep Voll Brook and Goffle Brook. During the American Revolutionary War, General Lafayette stationed his men along the banks of the brook. In 1780, Major Lee’s Virginia light horse troop occupied the east bank of the brook, while Lafayette’s light infantry corps occupied the flanks of First Watchung Mountain to the west. Lafayette’s headquarters sat on the western bank of the brook in what is now Goffle Brook Park south of Diamond Bridge Ave in Hawthorne. Prior to the twentieth century, the brook’s gradation supported saw, grain, and grist mills. It was probably instrumental in initial settlement and farming of the northern Passaic River valley. In addition to it uses as a drinking water supply and an energy source for mills, the brook has served as a focus for human creativity. New Jersey native William Carlos Williams immortalized the brook in his 1949 poem Spring is Here Again, Sir. The poem opens with the line, Goffle brook of a May day blossoms in the manner of antiquity. Today, Goffle Brook serves as the centerpiece of Goffle Brook Park and Kings Pond Park, providing fishing and ice skating opportunities to local residents. Relationship with the NYS&W Railway The New York, Susquehanna & Western Railway parallels Goffle Brook for the majority of its route through Hawthorne, Ridgewood, Midland Park, and Wyckoff, running roughly along the centerline of the Goffle Brook drainage basin. The railroad crosses the brook only twice, once in Ridgewood and again in Midland Park. Tributaries Traveling north along the brook from its mouth, the first tributary encountered is Janes Brook, in Hawthorne. Much of this small stream, which can be found in the wooded, southern section of Goffle Brook Park, was converted to a buried sewer in the twentieth century, but a tiny portion still remains at the surface where it empties into Goffle Brook. The second tributary encountered along Goffle Brook is Deep Voll Brook or Deep Brook (captioned name used by the USGS in 1995), which joins Goffle Brook just north of Goffle Hill Road at the far northern end of Goffle Brook Park in Hawthorne. Deep Voll Brook, which flows from northwest to southeast, is the most significant tributary of Goffle Brook, draining a sizeable portion of the northeastern corner of First Watchung Mountain in Hawthorne and Wyckoff. Beyond Deep Voll Brook are two smaller streams that join Goffle Brook relatively close to each other. Both of these less significant tributaries appear to be unnamed. After these two tributaries is yet another tiny tributary that drains a small swamp at the head of Kings Pond, a manmade lake in southwest Ridgewood. Continuing north, past the tributary at Kings Pond, Goffle Brook splits into western and eastern branches at Maple Lake, a former manmade swimming hole that was drained in the late 1980s. Of the two branches, the eastern branch is less significant, extending a short distance through Wyckoff before ending just inside the southern limit of Waldwick. The western branch almost completely bisects the town of Wyckoff through the midsection, ending west of Russell Ave at Goffle Pond, the source of Goffle Brook. Dams Seven dams exist along Goffle Brook, although ten existed historically. In Hawthorne, a former dam at the southern end of Goffle Brook Park once held back Mill Pond. A dam just south of Goffle Hill Road now forms Arnold's Pond, often referred to as the Duck Pond. In Ridgewood, a dam just north of Rock Road forms Gypsy Pond, and a bigger dam just a little further upstream holds back Kings Pond. The current fourth and fifth dams exist just to the west of where Goffle Road crosses the brook in Midland Park. A dam that was destroyed during a storm lies just upstream from Sicomac Avenue bridge. This dam was held back the waters to form Morrow Pond which was a swimming hole in Midland Park. North of Canterbury Lane in Wyckoff a dam used to exist which held back Maple Lake, now a wetland in danger of development. Two more dams create large lakes on the north and south sides Wyckoff Ave, again in Wyckoff.

4458206	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rude%20Mood	Rude Mood	"Rude Mood" is the sixth track on Stevie Ray Vaughan's debut album, Texas Flood. It is a blues shuffle instrumental in 4/4 (common time) and played at 264 beats per minute. The song was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rock Instrumental Performance in 1984 but lost to Sting's "Brimstone and Treacle". Origin and structure "Rude Mood" is a take-off of a Lightnin' Hopkins song called "Hopkins' Sky Hop". Vaughan played this song in several live performances including Live at Carnegie Hall and can be seen on the DVD Live at Montreux 1982. There are also versions where he uses an acoustic guitar instead of his characteristic Stratocaster, while sometimes also taking it notably faster or slower than the recorded studio version. The song starts out with the main riff introduced by the guitar; the bass notes are played quickly with muted notes in between, resulting in a swung feel. The bass guitar and drums are introduced after the introduction, establishing the beat that continues to the end. The song can be broken up into many sections, separated by each 12-bar blues progression, with most sections ending in the same fashion as the beginning riff.

38099531	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry%20Beard%20Delany	Henry Beard Delany	Henry Beard Delany (February 5, 1858 – April 14, 1928) was the first Black person elected Bishop Suffragan of the Episcopal Church in the United States. The Episcopal Church honors him, along with fellow African American bishop Edward Thomas Demby, who died on the same day in 1957, with a feast day on the liturgical calendar on the anniversary of their deaths, April 14. Early life Henry Delany was born into slavery in St. Mary's, Georgia, in 1858. His parents were Thomas Delany, a ship and house carpenter, and Sarah, a house servant to a Methodist family in that town. After the American Civil War and emancipation, the family moved to Fernandina Beach, Florida, where young Delany learned brick laying, plastery and carpentry from his father, and also helped on the family farm. He was able to attend a school funded by the Freedmen's Bureau and staffed by missionaries. In 1881 the rector of St. Peter's Episcopal Church in that town, Rev. Owen Thackera, funded a scholarship to allow Delany to attend St. Augustine's College in Raleigh, North Carolina, which Episcopal priests had founded in 1867 to educate newly freed men and women. There, Delany studied theology, music and other subjects. Career Upon graduating in 1885, Delany joined the faculty, where he remained until 1908. He taught carpentry and masonry and supervised building projects, as well as (after the ordinations discussed below) served as the school's vice-principal (1889-1908), chaplain and musician. Although not trained as an architect, Delany is credited as the architect as well as builder of the Norman Gothic-style historic chapel, crafted in part from stone quarried on campus. Delany and the students also built a library in 1898, and St. Agnes' Hospital (completed 1909 and the only hospital serving blacks in the area until 1940) on the St. Augustine's College campus. Delany joined Raleigh's St. Ambrose Episcopal Church, was ordained a deacon in 1889 and a priest in 1892. From 1889 to 1904 Delany served on the national church's Commission for Work among Colored People. He visited Episcopal, Methodist, Baptist and African Methodist Episcopal (AME) congregations as well as organized schools and met with and arranged educational opportunities for prisoners. Upon being appointed Archdeacon for Negro Work in the Diocese of North Carolina, Delany resigned his position at the school, but continued to live on campus, for his wife continued to teach and serve as the college's matron. Raleigh's Shaw University awarded him an honorary degree for his educational activities in 1911. Delany was unanimously elected suffragan bishop for Negro Work at the North Carolina diocesan convention, and consecrated in 1918. He also agreed to assist the bishops of East and Western North Carolina, South Carolina and Upper South Carolina in establishing separate black parishes pursuant to the Jim Crow laws rampant in the south. Bishop Delany advocated keeping African American Episcopalians united within the Church despite those segregationist practices within the Church and society. Death Bishop Delany died at his campus home in 1928, aged 70, and after a ceremony in the chapel he helped build, was buried at Mount Hope Cemetery in Raleigh. Family Delany married his class valedictorian (and fellow St. Augustine's College faculty member) Nannie James (1861–1956) of Danville, Virginia, in 1886. They had ten children, including long-lived civil rights pioneers Sadie and Bessie Delany, authors of the autobiographical bestseller Having Our Say. His son Hubert Thomas Delany became one of the first appointed African American judges in New York City, and later in his long and distinguished career served as legal advisor to many prominent civil rights activists.

As of 2021, the Apollo Lunar Module is the only lunar module to have ever been used in human spaceflight, completing six lunar landings from 1969 to 1972 during the United States' Apollo program. The LK lunar module was developed by the Soviet Union in the 1960s as a part of several Soviet crewed lunar programs. Several LK modules were flown without crew in low Earth orbit, but the LK lunar module never flew to the Moon, as the development of the N1 Rocket Launch Vehicle required for the lunar flight suffered setbacks (including several launch failures), and after the first manned Moon landings were achieved by the United States, the Soviet Union cancelled both the N1 Rocket and the LK Lunar Module programs without any further development.

57686188	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac%20Richardson%20Vialou	Isaac Richardson Vialou	Isaac Richardson Vialou (1816 – 31 October 1884) was a builder, architect and the first Mayor of Hamilton, New Zealand. He was born in England and emigrated to New Zealand in 1858. Early life and family Isaac was born in 1816, married Elizabeth Wood on 28 January 1838 and was recorded as a bankrupt builder and decorator at 37 Fish Street Hill, London in 1856. He described himself as an architect for the London Armoury Company, presumably when they built their factory in 1856. Their family consisted of at least two daughters, Emily and Louise, and a son. Auckland He emigrated to Wairoa in 1858 and by 1859 he was selling a farm near Otahuhu and a J R Vialou ('J' was often used for his first initial, even including his probate) was advertising as an architect at Smale's Point. He built several prominent buildings, including the Auckland courthouse on Chancery St in 1860. An 1863 advert for his Sanitary Depot in Victoria Street was for ‘‘importers of stone, cement and building materials, manufacturers of bricks pipes etc, stockists of closets, lavatories, hand basins etc’’. The brickworks was at Point Chevalier. Isaac must have returned to London, as he returned from there in 1863. By 1864 Isaac was running the Auckland Hotel. He also took on the Greyhound Hotel in 1867, but transferred it to I Vialou later that year and then, largely due to the recession, went bankrupt, though his family still owned property. His pig farm at Point Chevalier was sold under a court order in 1868 and he was in the Debtors' Prison that year. Hamilton Isaac's fortunes must have improved quickly, for he sold a Panmure hotel in 1872 and was architect for Alfred Cox, to build the now listed, Lake House, at Hamilton the same year. Another of his houses on the NZ Historic Places Register is Maungawhare in Otumoetai, built in 1878. In 1872, he built his house and carriage works on Victoria St, between Hood and Collingwood Streets. In 1873 that Hamilton builder, wheelwright and blacksmith partnership with Thomasson & Co came to an end and became Vialou & Co, which made agricultural implements, mattresses, cabinets and picture frames, as well as being a builder, timber merchant, millwright, wheelwright, painter, surveyor and architect. He had one of his apprentices sentenced to 48 hours in the lock-up, with bread and water. However, he also hosted an annual dinner for his staff. Mayor of Hamilton He was elected to Hamilton Town Board in 1876, the same year that his architectural work was criticised in court. Voting was 90 : 72 : 8 when Isaac was elected as Hamilton's first mayor in 1878. The main issues during his term as mayor were a bridge over the Waikato and extension of the railway towards Thames. During the ceremony marking the end of his term as mayor, he started driving the first pile of the Union Bridge. Retirement and death After leaving office he remained on the council, until he resigned in 1882. He also continued with his business, such as building the Waikato Hotel in Hamilton East in 1879. An 1880 guide said, "whatever he does is done in such a first-class style as cannot be excelled in Hamilton, or Auckland. . . his establishment, taking it as a whole, is the most complete one of the kind in the colony." In 1881 he retired, passing his business on to others. The premises were put up for sale in 1885 and sold in 1886. Isaac became ill and returned to Auckland, before moving to Ohinemutu in 1884, to manage Lake House Hotel. He died later that year, on Friday 31 October, after suffering, "delicate health, and apoplexy", aged 68. Vialou Street Vialou Street in Hamilton was named after their first mayor in 1913. The street was formed in 1917.

Standing and 20 storeys tall, it is currently the tallest building in Slovenia. The building houses high end stores, a wellness centre, business offices, and a congress hall. Construction Construction began with laying of the foundation stone on May 15, 2009. The building has a distinctive shape, with supporting columns jutting out until the second floor, after which it gradually tapers toward the top. The first part proved the most challenging during construction: it took almost a year to finish it, after which the building grew one storey each 8 days and reached the final height in September 2010. Plans for the Crystal Palace were made by Slovene architects Brane Smole and Denis Simčič. The 54 million Euro investment is covered by companies BTC d.d. and Nuba d.o.o and managed by the company Skai center established by the two parent companies for this purpose. Originally, the building was planned to be over tall. The owners still intend to build a helipad on the roof which was not a part of the finished building due to difficulties with Slovene air traffic regulations.

30320975	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skinning%20%28film%29	Skinning (film)	Skinning () is a 2010 Serbian film directed by Stevan Filipović. It premiered on 6 October 2010 in Sava Centar in Belgrade. Plot The film opens with actual news footage of protests in front of the American embassy in Belgrade following the Kosovo is Serbia protest rally that was held in response to the 17 February 2008 unilateral declaration of independence by ethnic Albanians inhabiting Serbia's southern province of Kosovo. This news footage is intercut with shots of the movie's main protagonist, skinhead Novica, protesting by leading chants and lighting flares in front of the embassy while he's also providing narration. The story than backs up as Novica (Nikola Rakočević), a timid and geeky high school student with frumpy clothing and disheveled thick hair, is introduced. He lives in Belgrade where his life revolves around attending advanced math classes for gifted kids and taking part in math competitions. Due to his awkwardness around people, his social life is nothing to speak of - his only friends are his stoner cousin Mirko (Miloš Tanasković) as well as an even nerdier math colleague Stanislav (Vladimir Tešović). At a math competition as the students are working away solving problems, Novica is pressured into cheating by Relja, a confident skinhead full of bravado who is also gifted at math, but doesn't quite possess Novica's math problem-solving skills. Relja is seated relatively close to Novica at the competition and is stuck on a question that he can't solve. Obviously flattered by the attention from a kid placed much higher on the high school social scale, Novica passes Relja the solution written on a piece of paper. The competition supervisor notices something untoward occurred and tells Novica to report the person he'd helped without penalty to himself. Wanting to cover for Relja, Novica purposely wrongly points out nerdy Stanislav as the recipient of his help, leading to the supervisor throwing both Novica and Stanislav out thus breaking her promise to spare Novica. Outside, Relja is happy and impressed with Novica's behaviour under pressure, handing him a copy of Hitler's Mein Kampf as well as extending an invite to a lecture by professor Hadži-Tankosić (Predrag Ejdus) at the University of Belgrade's Faculty of Philosophy. Novica brings his cousin Mirko along who, dissatisfied with the right-wing, anti-Semitic overtones in professor's lecture, leaves early on. Novica, on the other hand, remains and is very much receptive to what he's hearing. The next day Relja takes Novica to a football match since his skinheads are active as fans of FK Radnik - corrupt lower-league club financed by the local gangster nicknamed Pufta (Srđan Miletić). Though seemingly faithful supporters of the club, they don't care much for football, mostly using the matches as the public platform to raise the group's profile and further their right-wing political agenda through racist chanting, violence, and hooliganism. Additionally, skinheads have an extremely antagonistic relationship with the club's financier Pufta, regularly getting into fights with "Pufta's diesel boys" - small group of fans on his payroll. Since he doesn't own the club, Pufta's motivation for getting involved with football is taking advantage of his vaguely defined "financier role" in order to siphon off the funds from player transfers abroad. As he conducts his business in ruthless manner, his biggest rivals are similarly run FK Kosančić, the club that also has a financier - a mafia widow. At this particular match FK Radnik is playing FK Novi Pazar and there's no shortage of hateful chants and violence as Novica and Relja, among others, get taken to the police station where they're questioned by corrupt inspector Milutin (Nikola Kojo) and young idealistic policewoman Lidija (Nataša Šolak) who recently joined the force. She immediately notices that Novica doesn't really fit the usual skinhead profile and encourages him to get out, even giving him her personal contact in case he ever needs help. Couple of days later, Relja formally introduces Novica to the various individuals that make up his skinhead, white supremacist group, including his sexy girlfriend Mina (Bojana Novaković) and computer geek Svarog, all of whom hang out in an underground swastika-adorned cave where they mostly guzzle beer and listen to hard core bands such as Direktori. As it turns out, Novica already knows Mina from the neighbourhood (they once got jumped by a group of diesel boys, barely managing to escape) and already harbours some emotions towards her. Mina seduces Novica, symbolising his seduction into the world of racist skinheads. Hanging out one night, under the influence of alcohol, the group is walking along the river quay when they run into one of the diesel boys who's all by himself. In addition to belonging to their hated rival group, he's also Roma, which makes him even more of a target in their eyes. Relja however orders them not to bother, but Novica who is for the confrontation with the others backing him with words, charges and beats the guy with fists. Relja and the others pull Novica from killing the gipsy but he surprises all by taking construction block piece and kills the gipsy. Shocked by the gruesome crime Novica just committed, other skinheads panic a bit before regrouping and deciding to dump the body into the river and sink with it with rocks. Cast Nikola Rakočević as Novica Viktor Savić as Relja Bojana Novakovic as Mina Nikola Kojo as Milutin Nataša Tapušković as Officer Lidija Predrag Ejdus as Nazi Professor Hadži–Tankosić Milan Mihailović as Novica's father Actor Dragan Mićanović made an appearance in the film. Popular Serbian journalist and television presenter Ivon Jafali also appeared in the film as the journalist. Production The pre–production of Skinning began in 2007. The director Stevan Filipović got some funds from the SEE Cinema Network in Thessaloniki. The film was shot in stages, as it required great transformations of the actors, which included training in the gym and changing haircuts. Motifs Though on occasion applying a thin disguise when it comes to actual names, the movie references and alludes to various individuals, organizations, and events from the Serbian public life during the 2000s. The fictitious FK Radnik from Belgrade is obviously FK Rad, the club that has a small but violent core of right-wing fans known for clashes with the fans of FK Novi Pazar. Radnik's fictitious cross-town rival FK Kosančić run by an unnamed attractive mafia-widow obviously refers to FK Obilić (instead of Miloš Obilić, one famous medieval Serbian knight from the Battle of Kosovo, the club is named after another one, Ivan Kosančić), while its owner/financier bears an uncanny physical resemblance to Obilić's one-time president Ceca Ražnatović, the widow of slain gangster Arkan. In fact, many details from the football subplot in the movie are lifted straight from B92 television investigative programme Insajder'''s 2008 exposé "Pravila igre" and the 2009 one called "(Ne)moć države" both of which uncovered and alleged high levels of organized criminality and systemic corruption within the Serbian league football. Reception The film grossed €30,193 during its opening weekend in Serbia. As of 29 November 2010, it grossed €171,052. It ended its theatrical run in Serbia in late February 2011, grossing the total of US$288,512. One reviewer wrote: "Skinning is an obligatory, which must be seen by almost all parents who raise a teenager in their home... Especially those whose talents are unimaginable. And especially the parents who doubt to have a genius, because the line between genius and madness is thin. Skinning divides nationalism and false patriotism from violence and anarchy." Press''.

55826769	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Season%20of%20Crimson%20Blossoms	Season of Crimson Blossoms	Season of Crimson Blossoms is an adult fiction debut novel by Nigerian writer and journalist Abubakar Adam Ibrahim. The novel, set largely in the outskirts of Abuja, Nigeria, depicts an unusual salacious affair between the 55-year old widow Hajiya Binta and the 26-year old drug dealer and local gang leader Reza. It was first published in Nigeria in 2015 by Parrésia Publishers. Later Cassava Republic acquired the rights for international publication and released it in Germany, Kenya, South Africa, and the United Kingdom. It was released in the United States in 2017. The book won the 2016 Nigeria Prize for Literature, generally considered the biggest literary award in Africa, for best prose fiction. It is one of the few internationally released Nigerian fiction novels that features Nigerian Hausa people and the Hausa language. Synopsis The story is set in predominantly Northern Nigeria against the backdrop of violence in the author's home city of Jos, Plateau State. The plot also spills into other parts of northern Nigeria, including the capital, Abuja; the story takes place roughly between 2009 and 2015. The story focuses on Binta Zubairu, a Muslim widow in her mid-50s who falls for Reza, a local political thug and drug lord in his early 20s. Binta, a survivor of violence that tore her family apart in her former home in Jos, sees in Reza not her murdered husband but her slain son Yaro. In turn, Reza, with an ailing father and a mother he last saw as a child, feels the undertow of parental warmth in his budding liaison with Binta. When they meet again and have sex, the dynamic feels incestuous to them, as Binta reminds Reza of his mother who abandoned him and he reminds her of her slain son, whom she could not address by his given name due to social norms. Characters Hajiya Binta (Binta Zubairu) is the lead protagonist and a 55-year-old Muslim widow. She is known by the local community for her adherence to the Islamic faith. She lives in the suburbs of Jos with her teenage niece, Fa'iza, and her young granddaughter, Ummi. Her husband was killed by a mob of religious zealots in Jos, and her first son Yaro was killed by the police. The book opens after their death and finds Binta extremely unhappy because she was not able to show affection to her firstborn son during his life due to tradition forbidding it. Binta has now aged, but has an unfulfilled inner desire of love and a sexual relationship she never had in all her life, but she is confronted with a cultural dilemma by the conservative society she lives in. Reza (Hassan Babale) is the supporting protagonist and a notorious thug. He is also a drug dealer and the chief thug at the San Siro, a local hideaway for petty thieves involved in mugging and drug dealing. They are also hired as political thugs for a dishonest politician, Senator Buba Maikudi, who uses them at political rallies and to intimidate opposition candidates. Senator Buba Maikudi is a selfish, rogue politician. Critical reviews The novel received many critical reviews and is seen by many as a departure from northern Nigeria's norm, with German broadcaster Deutsche Welle describing the author as a northern Nigerian "literary provocateur" for daring to speak openly about female sexuality, breaking a taboo in the deeply conservative northern Nigeria. As the theme of the novel centers around the sexual emancipation of Hajiya Binta, who lives in a society where women are denied the right to sexual desire and certain activities, the book has drawn interest and reviews from many women writers and feminist activists, including Indian writer Namita Gokhale, Sudanese author Leila Aboulela, Ivorian novelist Veronique Tadjo, and United Kingdom-based writer Zoë Wicomb, the inaugural winner of the Windham–Campbell Literature Prize. Development and publication Ibrahim has been asked many times whether the story reflects details from his own life, given the circumstances of the characters and the setting, but he has always maintained that although he was at one time compelled to relocate from Jos due to the violence, similar to Hajiya Binta, he was "conscious not to write him[self] into the story". However, he did think a fatwa would be issued against it after the book's release, alluding to the binding opinion issued by Islamic scholars on something deemed to be sacrilegious to Islam or popular norms. Awards In September 2016 the book was shortlisted for the Nigeria Prize for Literature, Africa's biggest literary prize. On 12 October 2016, Ibrahim was announced as the winner for Season of Crimson Blossoms, beating Elnathan John's Born on a Tuesday and past winner Chika Unigwe's Night Dancer, the two other finalists from the initial 173 nominated books.

63473856	https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inda%20Sillasie%20River	Inda Sillasie River	Inda Sillasie is a river of northern Ethiopia. It originates at the confluence of May Zegzeg and May Be'ati Rivers in the mountains of Dogu’a Tembien (1970 metres above sea level), and flows southward to Giba River which empties finally in the Tekezé River. Along its couse, it first takes the name Rubaksa River, then Dabba Hadera River, and finally Inda Sillasie River. Hydrography It is a confined river, locally meandering in its narrow alluvial plain, with a slope gradient of 26 metres per kilometre. With its tributaries, the river has cut a deep gorge. Tributaries Main tributaries are May Zegzeg May Harena May Sho'ate May Be'ati River Hydrology Hydrological characteristics The runoff footprint or annual total runoff volume is 13 million m³. Peak discharges up to 172 m³ per second occur in the second part of the rainy season (month of August) when there are strong rains and the soils are saturated with water in many places. The percentage of total rainfall that directly leaves the catchment as storm runoff (also called runoff coefficient) is 9%. As limestone is present in 28% of the catchment this runoff coefficient is less than that of adjacent rivers. The total amount of sediment that is transported by this river amounts to 59,200 tonnes per year. Median sediment concentration in the river water is 1.57 grammes per litre, but may go up to 106 g/L. The highest sediment concentrations occur at the beginning of the rainy season, when loose soil and dust is washed away by overland flow and ends up in the river. As such water contains many nutrients (locally it is called “aygi”), farmers estimate that it strengthens their cattle, which they will bring to the river. All in all, average sediment yield is 733 tonnes per km² and per year. All measurements were done at a purposively installed station near the mouth of the river, in the year 2006. Flash floods Runoff mostly occurs in the form of high runoff discharge events that occur in a very short period (called flash floods). These are related to the steep topography, often little vegetation cover and intense convective rainfall. The peaks of such flash floods have often a 50 to 100 times larger discharge than the preceding baseflow. These flash floods mostly occur during the evening or night, because the convective rain showers occur in the afternoon. Changes over time Evidence given by Italian aerial photographs of the catchment, taken in the 1930s show that 55% of the catchment was covered with woody vegetation (against 35% in 2014). Up to the 1980s, there was strong pressure on the environment, and much vegetation disappeared. This river had its greatest discharges and width in that period. The magnitude of floods in this river has however been decreased in recent years due to interventions in the catchment. At Addi Meles, Kidmi Gestet, May Hib'o, Gemgema, May Be'ati and on other steep slopes, exclosures have been established; the dense vegetation largely contributes to enhanced infiltration, less flooding and better baseflow. Physical conservation structures such as stone bunds and check dams also intercept runoff. May Zegzeg Integrated Catchment Management Project As part of outreach accompanying research in Dogu'a Tembien, the May Zegzeg Integrated Catchment Management Project was set up in 2004 in the catchment of the May Zegzeg River by researchers in cooperation with ADCS, a local NGO. The project included the implementation of conservation techniques to increase water infiltration and conserve the soil. The objective of the second phase of this project was to improve the livelihood of the communities of the Inda Sillasie catchment, as well as to demonstrate and promote global catchment management in the district. The results of the implementation of site-specific conservation techniques aimed at increasing water infiltration and conserving soil were particularly monitored in the headwaters at May Sho'ate: dry masonry stone bunds, check dams in gullies, and the set-aside of degraded rangelands which resulted in exclosures. Irrigated agriculture Besides springs and reservoirs, irrigation is strongly dependent on the river’s baseflow. Such irrigated agriculture is important in meeting the demands for food security and poverty reduction. Irrigated lands are established in the narrow alluvial plains along the river in Rubaksa, and additional gardens have been installed in the lower gorge through the May Zegzeg project. Remarkable springs along the river There are three large karstic resurgences in the Antalo Limestone along this river: Rubaksa, spring water mainly used as irrigation water Dabba Hadera monastery, pilgrim destination Inda Sillasie monastery and “holy water” Transhumance towards the river gorge Valley bottoms in the gorges of this river have been identified as a transhumance destination zone. Transhumance takes place in the summer rainy season, when the lands near the villages are occupied by crops. Young shepherds will take the village cattle down to the gorge and overnight in small caves. The gorges are particularly attractive as a transhumance destination zone, because there is water and good growth of semi-natural vegetation. Boulders and pebbles in the river bed Boulders and pebbles encountered in the river bed can originate from any location higher up in the catchment. In the uppermost stretches of the river, only rock fragments of the upper lithological units will be present in the river bed, whereas more downstream one may find a more comprehensive mix of all lithologies crossed by the river. From upstream to downstream, the following lithological units occur in the catchment. Phonolite plugs Upper basalt Interbedded lacustrine deposits Lower basalt Amba Aradam Formation Antalo Limestone Quaternary freshwater tufa Adigrat Sandstone Natural boundary During its course, this river passes through three municipalities: Mika'el Abiy, Inda Sillasie and Amanit. Over most of its length, it constitutes the border between the latter two. Trekking along the river Trekking routes have been established across and along this river. The tracks are not marked on the ground but can be followed using downloaded .GPX files. Trek 10, along the middle and lower course of the river Trek 12, along the upper course of the river Trek 16, across the river in Rubaksa village In the rainy season, flash floods may occur and it is advised not to follow the river bed. Frequently, it is then also impossible to wade across the river. See also List of Ethiopian rivers References Rivers of Ethiopia Dogu'a Tembien Tigray Region

It is the first of Renaud's album that officially has a title, his three first albums being unnamed. Marche à l'ombre contains three of Renaud's most popular songs:: "Marche à l'ombre" contains observations and aspersions cast on various characters who walk into the narrator's favorite bar as he relaxes with a pinball-obsessed friend. "Les Aventures de Gérard Lambert" is the tale of a fictional comic hero, a mobylette rider whose evening is ruined by a mechanical problem and a wise-cracking passerby. "Dans mon HLM" is a floor-by-floor description of the public housing block that Renaud lived in, from the nightwatchman on the ground floor to his girlfriend on the eighth floor. "It Is Not Because You Are" also gained attention as a spoof attempt to sing in English. A mock ballad, it is a tortured variety of Franglais, with almost every line containing both English and French words. "La Teigne" is the story of a youth who has grown up "on the state" ("Il était de l'assistance") who can't make friends and who commits suicide before his 20th birthday. "Baston" (French for "punch-up") tells the story of a person who aims to die young. Track listing All songs were written by Renaud Séchan except where noted.

It is on display in the Musée des Beaux-Arts of Strasbourg, France. Its inventory number is 585. The painting was bought in 1898 by Wilhelm von Bode, from a collection in Padua belonging to the estate of the Giustiniani and Barbarigo families. It had long been believed to be a work by Giorgione, and the first attribution to Negretti was published in 1875 by . Bernard Berenson, and some other 20th-century art historians, disputed it, but it has been universally accepted since the 1992 publication of the monograph by Philip Rylands. The pose and the face of Jesus Christ are reminiscent of the slightly earlier Portrait of a Poet, now in the National Gallery. He is holding a transparent globe, almost invisible to the naked eye, and sitting in front of a green curtain opening on a landscape. This devotional work, executed in the manner of Venetian portrait painting, was very popular in its day; six copies or variations have survived (National Museum, Wrocław; Agnes Etherington Art Centre, Kingston; etc.).

It was named after Edward Kendall Crace an original settler in the Gungahlin area. Streets in Crace are named after parishes and land divisions from colonial times. It is bounded by the Barton Highway, Gundaroo Drive, Nudurr Drive and Gungahlin Drive. Located in the suburb is the Canberra Nature Park of Gungaderra Grasslands nature reserve. At the , it had a population of 4,459. History Development The suburb has finished development and construction. Road construction commenced in July 2008. The construction of 21 display homes was completed in May 2009. By July 2012 more than half of the houses were complete. The majority of homes were complete by 2015. The ACT government selected developers for the area as Defence Housing Australia and Canberra Investment Corporation. The developers were expected to make $60,000,000 but had to share half with the government. Some very small blocks were released for low cost housing with 85% released for high cost housing. 1,500 houses were planned for the 140 hectares, however more than 1,600 dwellings were built. Streets As part of the recent development, a new series of streets have been created following a Burley-Griffin grid pattern.

Geography Crace Grasslands Nature Reserve and Crace Hill are not completely located in Crace despite the name; their southern parts are located in the adjacent suburb of Lyneham. It also has a CSIRO Sustainable Ecosystems area. Geology On the North west side of Crace the rock is middle Silurian age Canberra Formation slaty shale and mudstone. In the mid west is siltstone. Towards Gungahlin Hill there is some sandstone at the base of the siltstone deposit, then over an unconformity to lower Silurian age State Circle Shale, and then mudstone. On Gungahlin Hill the rocks are from the Ordovician age Pittman Formation with greywacke and bands of the Acton Shale Member. The east side of Crace also has Silurian Canberra Formation with the top of Crace Hill having vesicular Dacite overlying mudstone. Crace Hill has been designated as a geological monument. The Gungahlin Fault curves around the south east side of Gungahlin Hill, and heads north north east out of Crace. The Winslade Fault comes into the south of Crace over the top of Gungahlin Hill and curves north into Palmerston. References External links Crace Community Association website Suburbs of Canberra
