Broadcasts of this program were personally supervised by Edmund A. Chester, Vice President at the CBS network and Director of Latin-American Relations and Short Wave Broadcasting (1940 - 1948). Chester could often be found visiting the control room at the CBS broadcast studios in New York City in order to enjoy his series of live concerts and to exchange insights with his staff of musicians and recording artists. At the governmental level, they were closely monitored by the Office of Inter-American Affairs through the Office for Coordination of Commercial and Cultural Relations (OCCCRBAR) under the direction of Nelson Rockefeller and the Department of State. The onset of the post World War II era precipitated the onset of the Cold War and the initiation of new governmental oversight of the broadcast industry. As a consequence of these developments, exclusive control for the La Cadena de las Americas was essentially transferred to the Department of State from Voice of America in 1948. As the focal point for American foreign policy shifted away from South America toward Europe broadcasts of this program were terminated (circa 1949) and the broadcasting links provided to South America by the Columbia Broadcast System CBS were eliminated.. Several historic master disk transcriptions of this program were recorded during live broadcasts and preserved on 78 RPM vinyl disks for Voice of America. They were archived by the Department of State until the 1970s and have since passed into private collections.

At the time, Morgan was still a French citizen writing under the name of "Sanche de Gramont". In the 1970s, Morgan stopped using the byline "Sanche de Gramont". He became an American citizen in 1977, renouncing his titles of nobility. The name he adopted as a U.S. citizen, "Ted Morgan", is an anagram of "de Gramont". The new name was a conscious attempt to discard his aristocratic French past. He had settled on a "name that conformed with the language and cultural norms of American society, a name that telephone operators and desk clerks could hear without flinching" ("On Becoming American," 1978). Morgan was featured in the CBS news program "60 Minutes" in 1978. The segment explored Morgan's reasons for embracing American culture and showed him eating dinner with his family in a fast food restaurant. Morgan has written biographies of William S. Burroughs, Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Winston Churchill. The last-named was a finalist in the 1983 Pulitzer Prize for Biography. His 1980 biography of W. Somerset Maugham was a 1982 National Book Award finalist in its first paperback edition. He has also written for newspapers and magazines.

Sir Robert Talbot, 2nd Baronet Sir Robert Talbot, 2nd Baronet (c.1610–1670) was an Irish landowner, soldier and politician of the seventeenth century. Talbot was the son of Sir William Talbot, 1st Baronet, a landowner and politician from Carton, County Kildare, and his wife Alison Netterville, daughter of John Netterville. Like most other Old English families, the Talbots and Nettervilles remained Roman Catholics after the Reformation. Among his younger brothers were Peter Talbot who became the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin and the soldier and courtier Richard Talbot whose career eventually eclipsed his own as he rose to become Lord Lieutenant of Ireland under James II and commander of the Royal Irish Army during the Williamite War. He sat for Wicklow County in the 1634 Irish Parliament. Following the outbreak of the Irish Rebellion of 1641, Talbot joined the Irish Catholic Confederates and was a leading member of the Moderate Faction on the Supreme Council. He served as officer in the Leinster Army. During the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland he was forced to surrender Athlone to the advancing English Republican forces and his lands were subsequently forfeited. Under the Act of Settlement 1662 he recovered most of his lands.

Warfare in Minoan Art Minoan civilization in the Bronze Age (c. 3500-1100 B.C.E) was located on the island of Crete. Focusing on the palatial periods between c. 1900 and c. 1300 b.c. (Mid Bronze Age). Art that focuses on just scenes of war alone is impossible as there are many other references that can be made not relating to war at all. There are various meanings that can be interpreted from different perspectives and that is what Molloy wants readers to understand. There could be an overlap of religion, politics, social meanings added to an iconography of warfare. “Practitioners of violence” are called warriors, just an identity who performed their social acts depending on their society. These social acts ranges from bull-leaping, boxing, hunting, sports, combat, fighting and more. Malloy divides the art relating to warfare in Bronze Age Crete into four categories “glyptic art circulating in both social and administrative contexts; stone and ceramic portable art for repeated intimate consumption (dining/processions); coroplastic/bronze figural art for religious activity; and frescoes and relief mouldings fixed in architectural settings”. Seals are accessories worn by the person and these seals had images on them that could give information. One very popular scene is a man with a spear that is parallel to him vertically. The use of animal imagery, for example a lion showed could show internal traits such as bravery of the individual or the actual scene of killing/warfare. There are many variations of a man and a lion from scenes of lions hunting animals to man hunting the lions. Armors and weapons are also frequent in these seals and each can represent a symbol of some kind. For example, they can represent warfare and hunting, but also how the man is defending himself and his land. Frescoes are bright wall paintings There were very few images of war in fresco art, however, the city of Knossos had many figural frescoes that could explain some form of war. Bull leaping fresco from Knossos is the most well known piece of artwork. As mentioned above, bull leaping was a sort of activity Minoan men did as a past time and it showed the interaction between the bull and man. Akrotiri was a Minoan Bronze Age settlement on the island of Thera now known as Santorini. Here were found well kept frescoes that has survived through all the years. 37 stone vessels talked about by Logue.

Church of the Madonna della Difesa The Church of the Madonna della Difesa (, ) is a Catholic church in the neighbourhood of Little Italy in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It was built by Italian immigrants to the city, specifically those from Molise, to commemorate the apparition of the Madonna in "La Difesa", in Casacalenda, Molise. It was designed by Roch Montbriant and Canadian artist Guido Nincheri. It is Romanesque in style and laid out in a Greek-cross floorplan. It was inaugurated in 1919. It is famous for its large cupola and brick façade, and especially its frescos by Guido Nincheri. A particularly well-known fresco depicts Benito Mussolini; painted before World War II, it commemorates his signing of the Lateran Accords.

USS City of Corpus Christi USS "City of Corpus Christi" (SSN-705), a , was the second ship of the United States Navy to be named for Corpus Christi, Texas. The Navy originally planned to use the name "USS "Corpus Christi"." The "City of" prefix was added before its 1983 commissioning to clarify that the ship is meant to honor the city, in response to Catholic politicians who protested against naming a warship using Latin words which translate to "Body of Christ." The contract to build her was awarded to the Electric Boat Division of General Dynamics Corporation in Groton, Connecticut on 31 October 1973 and her keel was laid down on 4 September 1979. She was launched on 25 April 1981 sponsored by Mrs. John Tower, and commissioned on 8 January 1983. The ship's patch was chosen by the crew based on entries to an art contest sponsored by the Corpus Christi, Texas city government. In an operation during the naval exercise Malabar, between the navies of India, the United States and Japan which featured a simulated battle, Indian Navy's reportedly scored a kill against "City of Corpus Christi". "Sindhudhvaj" is a Soviet-built , but upgraded with the Indian USHUS sonar. The ship is currently homeported in Bremerton, Washington, having moved there after being deactivated on 30 May 2016. This article includes information collected from the Naval Vessel Register and various press releases.
Schizopygopsis younghusbandi Schizopygopsis younghusbandi is a species of ray-finned fish endemic to Tibet. It occurs in the Yarlung Tsangpo River (=upper Brahmaputra) drainage and in endorheic lakes in its vicinity. "Schizopygopsis younghusbandi" grows to about in total length. Several species and subspecies are currently considered as junior synonyms of "Schizopygopsis younghusbandi". The taxonomic status of these should be re-examined as they might be distinct species. "Schizopygopsis younghusbandi" inhabits swift rivers with a rocky substrate, and mountain lakes. It is locally common. "Schizopygopsis younghusbandi" has been found to be the prey species that contributed most to the diet of "Oxygymnocypris stewartii", a large predatory cyprinid. On average, "Schizopygopsis younghusbandi" made 59% of "Oxygymnocypris stewartii" stomach content weight, more so among larger individuals than smaller ones. "Schizopygopsis younghusbandi" is heavily used as a food fish and is among the most important commercial species in the area.
The film suffered from production difficulties as well as from Peckinpah's battles with MGM over his artistic vision and budget overruns. The studio's drastically cut release version, disowned by Peckinpah, was initially a failure with major critics and the viewing public. Although its depiction of the Kid as a roguish anarchist opposed to illegitimate law (as enforced by Garrett on behalf of a corrupt power structure) was suited to the temper of the times, it quickly left first-run theaters. Soon, however, reviews began to appear in smaller film magazines and journals in the United States and abroad that praised its artistry and breadth of vision. The film's reputation was on the ascendancy long before Peckinpah's preferred cut of the preview version was finally shown at the University of Southern California in 1986, and its critical stature has continued to increase since—Martin Scorsese, e.g., called it a "masterpiece". Despite the liberties it took with history, scholar and film editor Paul Seydor described "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid" as among the finest treatments of the legend in any medium. The psychoanalyst Alfred Adler wrote an analysis in 1951 of the mythic aspects of the legend of Billy the Kid in which he compared the Kid to Oedipus, King Arthur, Robin Hood, and other legendary heroes of the past. Adler was the first writer to discuss the symbolic significance of Billy the Kid's nickname as a cultural totem. Arthur Penn's film, "The Left Handed Gun" (1958), portrays Billy the Kid as a misunderstood youth, played by Paul Newman in the manner of James Dean in "Rebel Without a Cause", according to the film critic Robert Kolker. It similarly addresses the psychological motivations of those of its characters who resort to violence, in a pseudo-Freudian treatment of the subject characteristic of certain 1950s movies. In 1941 Life magazine ran a piece on Billy the Kid called "America's Best-Loved Badman". The historian Stephen Tatum, writing forty years later, referred to the contradictory aspects of the mythical Billy the Kid, calling him a "flexible container" into which audiences poured their "hopes and fears, ideals and prejudices." Writers and filmmakers have often depicted William Bonney as the personification of the "free-running reprobate" of the Old West, of the sort whom the reformed outlaw Emmett Dalton wondered if "he symbolizes the undying anarchy in the heart of every man." In any case, the mythical Billy the Kid remains an icon of popular American culture, and the skinny, bucktoothed kid from New York City occupies the top place in Western American folklore.
His friend accepted the offer and the two also received royal permission for their expedition. They set out with 100 knights and 400 mounted men-at-arms upon their campaign in the spring of 1205. They took Patras and Pondikos by assault, and Andravida opened its gates. The people of the countryside came to make their submission and were confirmed in their property and local customs. Only in Arcadia (now Kyparissia) were the crusaders resisted. This opposition was led by landlords from Arcadia and Laconia, particularly the Chamaretos family, allied to the Slavic Melingoi tribe. The resistance was soon joined by a certain Michael, identified by many scholars with Michael I Komnenos Doukas (1204–1215) who was then creating his own principality in Epiros. Michael advanced into the Peloponnese with 5,000 men, but the little crusader army defeated him at Kountouras in northeast Messenia. Then the crusaders completed the conquest of the region and advanced into the interior of the country, occupying the entire peninsula with the exception of Arcadia and Laconia. William of Champlitte thus became master of the Peloponnese with the title prince of Achaea (1205–1209) under the suzerainty of the king of Thessalonica. Geoffrey received Kalamata and Messenia as a fief from the new prince. However, the Republic of Venice proceeded to make good her claims that the leaders of the Fourth Crusade had guaranteed it by the partition treaty of 1204 to the important way stations along the sea route to Constantinople. Thus the Venetians armed a fleet which took Modon and Coron (Koroni) in 1206, but William of Champlitte compensated Geoffrey by assigning Arcadia to him. In 1208 William I of Achaea departed for France in order to claim an inheritance his brother had left to him. William I appointed Geoffrey to administer the principality as bailiff until the prince’s nephew, Hugh should arrive. However, both the first prince of Achaea and his nephew died very shortly. In May 1209, Geoffrey went to the Parliament of Ravennika that the Latin Emperor Henry I (1206–1216) had convoked at Ravennika to assure the emperor of his loyalty. The emperor confirmed Geoffrey as prince of Achaea and made him immediate imperial vassal. Moreover, Henry I also appointed Geoffrey seneschal of the Latin Empire.

"The River Niger" had its 2 April 1976 world premiere in Chicago, with a general Los Angeles opening 7 April 1976. Despite the award-winning source material and superb cast, box office was minimal and reviews were largely negative. Roger Ebert gave the film two stars, saying "(it) has good intentions and several very well-acted scenes. But its direction is a mess". Chief film critic Vincent Canby of The New York Times called the movie "a screen disappointment" and "virtually an object lesson in how "not" to make a movie out of a theater piece," saying the overall narrative had "a total lack of cohesive style and cinematic intelligence". TV Guide would later say that the film "misses the mark due to Shah's uncertain direction," while giving the movie two stars. However, Leonard Maltin gave the film three stars, calling it an "intelligent, moving story" that was "touching and convincing." For her work in the role of Mattie, Cicely Tyson would go on to win the 1976 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Actress in a Motion Picture. Touted as the most expensive film ever made in India at the time, Krishna Shah's 1978 "Shalimar" employed an ambitious galaxy of international stars. Shah himself said the film would be "a caper film to end all caper films." Instead, as recorded by longtime columnist and film historian Dinesh Raheja, "Shalimar was an epic disaster that changed the course of Bollywood itself. Nobody dared attempt a Hollywood collaboration for a long time thereafter." Recalling the beginnings of "Shalimar", novelist Manohar Malgonkar said, “Krishna Shah wrote the screenplay of "Shalimar", based on a story written jointly with Stanford Sharman. After that, (Shah) lived with it for several years, chopping and changing, pruning and adding, revising and polishing, before he made it into a film." "Shalimar" went on to rate sixth on a list of the top 10 Bollywood flops of the 1970s. As with the previous failure of "Rivals", Shah and his investors re-released "Shalimar" under several different titles in an attempt to somehow recoup the millions lost. One such "decoy" title was "Raiders of the Sacred Stone", which had its own re-designed poster. After the spectacular financial and critical failure of "Shalimar", Krishna Shah turned to the documentary circuit with his 1979 montage film "Cinema Cinema".
Blackboard (design pattern) In software engineering, the blackboard pattern is a behavioral design pattern that provides a computational framework for the design and implementation of systems that integrate large and diverse specialized modules, and implement complex, non-deterministic control strategies. This pattern was identified by the members of the HEARSAY-II project and first applied to speech recognition. The blackboard model defines three main components: The first step is to design the solution space (i.e. potential solutions) that leads to the blackboard structure. Then, knowledge sources are identified. These two activities are closely related. The next step is to specify the control component; it generally takes the form of a complex scheduler that makes use of a set of domain-specific heuristics to rate the relevance of executable knowledge sources. Usage-domains include: The blackboard pattern provides effective solutions for designing and implementing complex systems where heterogeneous modules have to be dynamically combined to solve a problem. This provides non-functional properties such as: The blackboard pattern allows multiple processes to work closer together on separate threads, polling and reacting when necessary. An example of the Blackboard pattern has been provided by Microsoft. https://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13461.blackboard-design-pattern-a-practical-example-radar-defense-system.aspx
When the action described by the verb is initiated by its grammatical subject, the verb is described as being in the active voice, and the grammatical subject is described as its agent. The t-stems introduced above express the middle voice. The agents of verbs in these stems, which are syntactically active and intransitive, experience the results of these actions as if they were also the patient; in many cases, the action of the verb appears to occur on its own. As a result, verbs in these stems are often translated as if they were agentless passives, or reflexive actions that the subject takes on its own behalf, e.g. "etwer minni wuṣle" ‘a piece broke off / was broken from it.’ In the passive voice, the grammatical subject of the verb is the recipient of the action described by it, namely the patient. There are two ways of forming the passive voice in Neo-Mandaic: the analytic passive, in which the passive participle is combined with the copula, and the much more common impersonal passive, in which an impersonal third plural form is used, e.g. "əmaryon" ‘it is said,’ literally ‘they said.’ Neo-Mandaic preserves the SVO word order of Classical Mandaic, despite its longstanding contact with Persian (which follows SOV word order). Topic-fronting, which tends to obscure the word order, is typical of all three languages. Simple sentences consist of a subject, which may be implied in the verb, and a predicate, which is headed by a verb or the copula (see Table 9 below). The independent forms of the copula introduce predicate nominal and predicate locative constructions, and the enclitic forms introduce predicate adjectives. Much like other Semitic languages, Neo-Mandaic employs a predicate locative construction to express the notion of possession. In the simple present tense, this construction uses the independent form of the existential particle *"eṯ" and the preposition "l"- ‘to/for,’ which takes the enclitic suffixes introduced in Table 5. Before "l"-, the existential particle assumes the form "eh"-, yielding the forms "ehli" ‘he has’ (lit. ‘there is for him’), "ehla" ‘she has,’ and so forth. In tenses other than the simple present, the copular verb "həwɔ" ~ "həwi" ("hɔwi") is used in the place of the existential particle, e.g. "agar pərɔhɔ həwɔle, turti zawnit" ‘if I had money, I would have bought a cow.’
Eastern Avenue begins at a curve along Front Street east of Parliament Street; eastbound traffic on Front is defaulted onto Eastern Avenue, vice versa for westbound traffic on Eastern. The road crosses the Don River, merging with Richmond Street and Adelaide Street and providing access to the Don Valley Parkway. East of Broadview Avenue, it travels parallel to and three blocks south of Queen Street East along the King Street alignment to east of Coxwell Avenue, where it curves northward and meets Queen Street. North of Queen Street, the road becomes Kingston Road. King Street was named in honour of King George III by John Graves Simcoe when it was laid out in the original plan of York in 1793. It has had various names over the years. The street travels east from The Queensway, splitting off to the southeast at Queen Street West and Roncesvalles Avenue, to the Don River where it ends at Queen Street East. The central section of King Street has a transit mall named King Street Transit Priority Corridor to accommodate streetcar routes along King Street. Adelaide Street was named after Princess Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen (wife of King William IV) by Peter Russell, second Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada, in his 1797 plan of Toronto. The original section of Adelaide was only a portion of the present street. In 1844, Little Adelaide Street, Adelaide Street and Newgate Street were amalgamated to form Adelaide Street. The street was split into east and west sections in 1884. In 1926, at the request of property owners, Adelaide Street West was extended from Bathurst Street to Shaw Street, incorporating the entirety of Defoe Street and McDonnell Square. The most recent extension came in 1965, when Adelaide Street East was routed onto Duke Street, which crossed between Jarvis Street and Parliament Street. This was done in advance of the opening of the lower section of the Don Valley Parkway and eastern section of the Gardiner Expressway. Newgate and Duke Streets were amalgamated into Adelaide Street East. Between the Eastern Avenue ramp and Bathurst Street, Adelaide Street serves as the eastbound member of a one-way pair, together with Richmond Street as the westbound member. Richmond Street is named after Charles Lennox, 4th Duke of Richmond. Lennox came to Canada in 1818 as Governor-in-Chief of British North America, and died a year later after being bitten by a rabid fox while touring the countryside. Richmond Street absorbed Duchess Street and became a one-way road in 1958 as part of a process to build ramps to Eastern Avenue and the Don Valley Parkway.
Additionally, in the film, Ellie is a doctor of paleobotany and in a relationship with Grant. Spielberg did this to add tension to the film and because he felt that she did not get enough attention in the book. Ellie has a minor role in "Jurassic Park III". According to the film, her relationship with Grant ended after the first film, but they remain close friends. She is married to Mark, an employee of the U.S. State Department. They have two young children and host Grant for dinner. Later, when Grant is stranded on Isla Sorna and terrorized by a "Spinosaurus", it is Ellie who Grant calls for help. Laura Dern will reprise her role as Dr. Ellie Sattler in "Jurassic World: Dominion", scheduled for release in 2021. Ian Malcolm is a mathematician who specializes in chaos theory. His character is based on Ivar Ekeland and James Gleick. Malcolm's all-black clothing style reflects that of Heinz-Otto Peitgen, a mathematician who wrote a richly illustrated book on fractals. According to Crichton, Malcolm's character functions as the "ironic commentator inside the story who talks about the action as it takes place". Throughout "Jurassic Park", Malcolm makes several predictions based on chaos theory about the consequences and ultimate failure of attempting to control nature, which often turn out to be correct. Malcolm is seriously injured during the initial "Tyrannosaurus" attack and is brought back to the Visitor Center. He spends the remainder of the novel bedridden, usually under the influence of high doses of morphine, continuing to comment on the park's inherent flaws and impending collapse. Although he is declared dead at the end of the novel, he explains in the sequel that this declaration was premature. Thanks to timely intervention by Costa Rican surgeons, he survives with a permanent leg injury, requiring a cane to walk. In the film adaptation, Malcolm does not use a cane but is traumatized by his ordeals. In the first film, it is noted that he is the father of three children; one of them, Kelly, appears in the sequel. Malcolm is the main protagonist of "The Lost World", in which he agrees to help wealthy paleontologist Richard Levine plan an expedition to Isla Sorna, Jurassic Park's secondary site. When Levine becomes trapped on the island after going there alone, Malcolm and the remaining expedition members mount a rescue. By the time frame of "The Lost World", Malcolm has become more proactive and vigorous, and has enhanced his knowledge about dinosaurs.
He also posted a picture of the stabber, and "saluting" those "protecting Jerusalem" he wrote: "Kiss their foreheads, and do not forget their hands". On 17 October, Jibril Rajoub, a senior member of Palestinian Authority ruling party Fatah said in an interview that "These are clearly individual operations, but they require heroism, courage, and a value system, which forces the Palestinian elite and the Palestinian national forces to see in the final words of one of those heroes, written in a blog, a document that could be taught in schools in a lesson about the meaning of martyrdom..." According to Algemeiner analysis published in January 2016, According to a cyber-security expert opinion of INSS, a new trend started during the "wave of terror" in Israel, with the Islamic State organization flooding social media platforms with messages tailored to Palestinians and Israeli Arabs. The Shin Bet security service announced that the terrorists, who murdered four people at Tel Aviv tourist attraction, were inspired by the Islamic State group. Reportedly, this confirmed the assessment, previously made by Palestinian security services on the night of the attack. Following the June 2016 Tel Aviv shooting, Israeli newspaper "Haaretz", wrote that first signs emerged of ISIS-inspired lone-wolf terrorism in Israel. Palestinian Ambassador to the United Nations Riyad Mansour said of the cycle of violence and retaliation that the situation was "extremely dangerous" and accused "extremists on the Israeli side" of seeking to "impose a Jewish presence" at the Temple Mount. He warned that such attempts would cause a religious confrontation that would have "ramifications in all corners of the Middle East and beyond. Religious confrontation is what ISIS is dreaming of." After a death on the night of Rosh Hashanah in Jerusalem, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held an emergency meeting to decide on new legislation for minimum sentences for stone throwers, heavy fines on parents whose children threw stones and the use of multiple sniper fire Ruger 10/22 against rioters throwing stones and Molotov cocktails. A pay increase for border police throughout Jerusalem and the calling up reserve forces of police and Border Guard forces was also enacted by the security cabinet. Netanyahu later accused Arabs, especially the Palestinian Authority and the Islamic Movement in Israel of inciting and fanning flames, while prohibiting all Members of Knesset (MK's) from going to the Temple Mount, although some Jewish and Arab Joint List MK's said they would ignore the rulings. On 30 July, the Knesset had approved an amendment to the Prisons Ordinance allowing the force-feeding of an inmate when a doctor determines that there is a real danger to the life of the prisoner.
Alaa Atiya Alaa Atiya (; born 3 June 1990 in Gaza, Palestine) is a Palestinian professional football (soccer) player currently playing for Jordan Premier League side Al-Yarmouk FC on loan from Ittihad Shajaeya. He attracted the attention of many scouts when he scored 24 goals for Gaza Sport in the 2010–2011 season with Egyptian side Al-Ahly and Jordanian juggernauts Al-Wahdat most interested in securing his services. After the 2010–11 season he moved to Ittihad Shajaeya but with league play suspended, secured a loan move to Al-Yarmouk. He scored in his debut in a 3–1 loss to Al-Ramtha and would score the winner from the penalty spot against Manshia Bani Hassan. He also scored in the Jordan FA Cup quarterfinal second leg against Manshia Bani Hassan. In order to play with his country's national team in the 2012 AFC Challenge Cup, Alaa' Attieh agreed to forego $5,000 in wages. Attieh made his debut for Palestine against the United Arab Emirates on 24 February 2012 but was forced off in the first half with an injury. He scored Palestine's first goal at the 2012 AFC Challenge Cup in the third minute against host Nepal and also assisted on Fahed Attal's second goal.
Halogenation Halogenation is a chemical reaction that involves the addition of one or more halogens to a compound or material. The pathway and stoichiometry of halogenation depends on the structural features and functional groups of the organic substrate, as well as on the specific halogen. Inorganic compounds such as metals also undergo halogenation. Several pathways exist for the halogenation of organic compounds, including free radical halogenation, ketone halogenation, electrophilic halogenation, and halogen addition reaction. The structure of the substrate is one factor that determines the pathway. Saturated hydrocarbons typically do not add halogens but undergo free radical halogenation, involving substitution of hydrogen atoms by halogen. The regiochemistry of the halogenation of alkanes is usually determined by the relative weakness of the available C–H bonds. The preference for reaction at tertiary and secondary positions results from greater stability of the corresponding free radicals and the transition state leading to them. Free radical halogenation is used for the industrial production of chlorinated methanes: Rearrangement often accompany such free radical reactions. Unsaturated compounds, especially alkenes and alkynes, add halogens: The addition of halogens to alkenes proceeds via intermediate halonium ions. In special cases, such intermediates have been isolated. Aromatic compounds are subject to electrophilic halogenation: This reaction works only for chlorine and bromine and is carried in the presence of a Lewis acid such as FeX3 (laboratory method). The role of the Lewis acid is to polarize the halogen-halogen bond, making the halogen molecule more electrophilic. Industrially, this is done by treating the aromatic compound with X2 in the presence of iron metal. When the halogen is pumped into the reaction vessel, it reacts with iron, generating FeX3 in catalytic amounts. The reaction mechanism can be represented as follows: Because fluorine is very reactive, the protocol described above would not be efficient as the aromatic molecule would react destructively with F2. Therefore, other methods, such as the Balz–Schiemann reaction, must be used to prepare fluorinated aromatic compounds. For iodine, however, oxidising conditions must be used in order to perform iodination. Because iodination is a reversible process, the products have to be removed from the reaction medium in order to drive the reaction forward, see Le Chatelier's principle.
Brian Courtis from "The Age" observed that Darcy was "back to his old tricks" when he blackmailed Izzy and dubbed him "the bearded villain". An Ausculture reporter placed Darcy at number six on their "Top Ten Aussie Soap Villains" list. The reporter called him "one of "Neighbours"' truly great cads" and a womaniser, despite him starting off "rather nicely". They added "he began trying to steal Uncle Karl's surgery from under his feet. Tut tut! Selling prescription drugs in night clubs soon followed, as did his attempt to break up Dee and Toadie, who at this stage were blissfully in love. Finally, Darcy stole from his own family – Karl and Susan – and when running from the burglary, managed to knock over a heavily pregnant Lynn Scully!" On his return, Ausculture said that he was looking shady and sporting an evil goatee. In 2015, Kerry Barrett from "All About Soap" placed Darcy at number 23 on the magazine's list of 30 favourite "Neighbours" characters. Barrett quipped "Darcy was Susan and Karl's nephew and at first he seemed like a thoroughly nice chap. But after a few failed relationships and a lot of gambling debts, Darcy went bad – and we loved it!" Barrett thought Darcy's best moment was "blackmailing Izzy." A TVNZ reporter also included Darcy in their list of the top 30 "Neighbours"' characters, and stated, "A villain through and through, charismatic yet dastardly, Dr Darcy was the character everybody loved to hate." In July 2018, Conor McMullan of "Digital Spy" included Darcy in his list of the "12 characters "Neighbours" needs to bring back". McMullan wrote, "Before Paul returned in 2004 to cause mischief, it was Darcy Tyler who filled the role of charming neighbourhood villain. His crimes seem a little low-key these days – womanising, burglary, blackmail – but that's what made Darcy work. He wasn't a bad man, but a flawed one and well-played by actor Mark Raffety." McMullan also thought that Darcy was a blank slate for the writers, and speculated that he could be a romantic interest for Terese Willis (Rebekah Elmaloglou), which would upset Paul.
Peru at the 2011 World Championships in Athletics Peru competed at the 2011 World Championships in Athletics from August 27 to September 4 in Daegu, South Korea. A team of 5 athletes was announced to represent the country in the event.
List of European Cup and UEFA Champions League winning managers The European Cup was an association football competition contested from 1956 to 1992. Spanish manager José Villalonga Llorente led Real Madrid to success in the inaugural final in 1956 and repeated the feat the following season. English clubs and managers dominated the competition in the late 1970s and early 1980s, winning every tournament from 1977 to 1982. Despite this, Italian managers have been the most successful, winning eleven of the tournaments since 1956. The competition became the UEFA Champions League in 1992, with Belgian Raymond Goethals leading French club Marseille to success that season. Only Bob Paisley, Carlo Ancelotti and Zinedine Zidane have won the tournament on three occasions. Paisley led Liverpool to three titles in five seasons, Ancelotti won three titles and reached four finals with Milan and Real Madrid, and Zidane won three consecutive titles with Real Madrid. Seventeen other managers have won the title on two occasions. Only five managers have won the title with two clubs: Carlo Ancelotti with Real Madrid and Milan; Ernst Happel with Feyenoord in 1970 and Hamburg in 1983; Ottmar Hitzfeld with Borussia Dortmund in 1997 and Bayern Munich in 2001; José Mourinho, with Porto in 2004 and Internazionale in 2010; and Jupp Heynckes with Real Madrid in 1998 and Bayern Munich in 2013. Seven men have won the tournament both as a player and as a manager, namely Miguel Muñoz, Giovanni Trapattoni, Johan Cruyff, Carlo Ancelotti, Frank Rijkaard, Pep Guardiola and Zinedine Zidane. This table lists the total number of titles won by managers of each country.

1994–95 Southern Football League The 1994–95 Southern Football League season was the 92nd in the history of the league, an English football competition. Hednesford Town won the Premier Division and earned promotion to the Football Conference. Solihull Borough, Sittingbourne, Trowbridge Town and Corby Town were relegated to the Midland and Southern Divisions, whilst Newport, Salisbury City, Ilkeston Town and Baldock Town were promoted to the Premier Division, the former two as champions. The clubs finishing bottom of the Midland and Southern Divisions, Armitage and Burnham, were relegated to level eight leagues. The Premier Division consisted of 22 clubs, including 17 clubs from the previous season and five new clubs: The Midland Division consisted of 22 clubs, including 17 clubs from the previous season and five new clubs: The Southern Division consisted of 22 clubs, including 17 clubs from the previous season and five new clubs:
The scene is one that is easily identifiable in context of the narrative and is of significant importance. Under this definition, most art that is usually not considered a narrative would fit under the monoscenic narrative type. Narrative art is art that tells a story, either as a moment in an ongoing story or as a sequence of events unfolding over time. This in retrospect makes a good portion of art narrative art. Landscapes and portraits however do not meet the criteria of the definition provided, though they might be, depending on the artist’s intention. Exekias was an ancient Greek vase-painter and potter. A good portion of his vase work included scenes from Greek mythology. He was known for his ability to capture the most critical points of a story and illustrate them into one simple scene. The amphora portraying Achilles killing Penthesilea is such an example. This monoscenic narrative illustrated on this amphora exemplifies a vital part of the Trojan saga. It is the moment in which Achilles and Penthesilea fall in love. In the heat of battle, Achilles battles Penthesilea and with a fatal blow, causes her helmet to be pushed back. When their eyes meet, it is said that they fall in love. This is ruined by Achilles’ inability to control his bloodlust. Due to this tragedy, Achilles refuses to fight and from this many consequences arise that eventually could be linked to his demise. A line of development of narrative art begins with William Hogarth, the English painter. His monoscenic depictions of crucial moments in a narrative were taken up in the 19th century by other British painters. The Victorian terms applied to this style were "subject painting" or "anecdotic" painting. A continuous narrative is a type of narrative that illustrates multiple scenes of a narrative within a single frame. Multiple actions and scenes are portrayed in a single visual field without any dividers. The sequence of events within the narrative is defined through the reuse of the main character or characters. It emphasizes the change in movement and state of the repeating characters as indicators of scene or phase changes in the narrative. The Column of Trajan depicts one event: the Dacian Wars. This continuous narrative can be broken down into a series of events. These events flow from one scene to another without any physical indicators such as vertical lines. Because of how the narrative is read, from standing in front of the column, it seems to ebb right to left and then left to right which is common in continuous narratives.
It was the first production car to feature an airbag standard, and as late as 1991 there were only a few other manufacturers in Europe who offered an airbag. The interior featured additional courtesy and reading lamps, along with heated seats and a more advanced climate control system. A four-speed automatic transmission was standard. Although the top of range Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9 of the previous generation was not directly replaced, the W126 carried forward the hydropneumatic suspension of the 6.9 as an option on the 500SEL. A new cruise control system was offered as well. Succeeding the roadster based coupes, the W126 introduced a two-door variant, the SEC coupé. The W126 S-Class received a mid-cycle update in 1985 that included both exterior modifications and engine upgrades. The powerplants on the W126 S-Class included straight-6 and V8 engines. Most sales came from the diesel model in Europe and straight-six models in the United States, although the V8 models were praised by contemporary journalists. During the W126 mid-cycle update in 1986, both the straight-6 and V8 engines were upgraded in several models to different displacement levels (six-cylinder upgraded from 2.8 L to 3.0 L, eight-cylinder upgraded from 3.8 L to 4.2 L, and 5.0 L to 5.6 L). In 1991, the W140 series replaced the W126 line with the first production model assembled in April of that year. The W140 grew in proportions and featured two wheelbase lengths and a shorter-wheelbase W140 coupé. Production totalled 432,732 units. The W140 cost 25% more than the W126 that it replaced and featured double-pane window glazing, self-closing boot lid and doors, electric windows with a jam-protection feature (lowering when encountering an obstruction), rear-parking markers in the US (which appeared on the rear wings when in reverse), and a heating system which emitted warm air while residual energy was available after the engine was turned off. In 1993, Mercedes-Benz model nomenclature was rationalized, with the SE/SEL/SEC cars becoming the S-Class and alphanumerical designations inverted (e.g. the both 500SE and 500SEL became S500 regardless of wheelbase length). In 1995, the W140 received a minor face lift featuring clear turn signal indicator lenses on the front and rear as well as headlamps fitted with separate low- and high-beam reflectors for the US market.
St. Joseph station St. Joseph, also known as St. Joseph-Benton Harbor, is an Amtrak train station in St. Joseph, Michigan, United States, served by Amtrak's "Pere Marquette" line. It is located at 410½ Vine Street in St. Joseph and since 2005 has shared the building with Silver Beach Pizza. There is limited parking on a first-come, first-served basis. The station has a small waiting room with a self-service kiosk to purchase tickets. Baggage can not be checked at this location, however passengers are allowed to have two carry-on items. Twin Cities Area Transportation Authority (TCATA) Red Route travels within short walking distance of the station, running through St. Joseph and Benton Harbor. The bus will stop directly at the station on request.
On Senior Day at Capital One Arena, Villanova opened the game with a 14–0 scoring run, and led by as many as 17 points during the first half on 60 percent shooting from the field and 8–for–13 from three-point range, taking a 39–30 lead into halftime. The Hoyas scored the first 11 points of the second half and took a 41–39 lead with 17:35 left to play. The Wildcats pulled back ahead and held their largest lead of the second half at 54–48 with 10:26 left in the game, but Georgetown battled back to a 69–65 lead with 1:04 remaining. Villanova closed to 69–67 with 47 seconds to play. With 5.6 seconds left, Jamorko Pickett fouled Villanova junior forward Jermaine Samuels as Samuels drove the basket and Qudus Wahab blocked Samuels's shot. After a video review, officials confirmed a goaltending call on Wahab, making the basket count, and Samuels then sank his free throw for a three-point play that gave the Wildcats a 70–69 lead. Terrell Allen's shot at the buzzer missed, and, amid a chorus of boos from Georgetown fans displeased with the late-game officiating, Villanova spoiled Georgetown's upset bid with a game-ending 5–0 scoring run. Georgetown's overall record for a season fell below .500 for the first time in Ewing's three-season tenure as head coach. Pickett finished with 20 points, Allen with 17, and Jagan Mosely, in his last home game, with 13 points. Georgetown clearly missed McClung and Yurtseven, who were averaging a combined 30 points a game when they succumbed to injury, and concluded its regular season with a six-game losing streak and a record of 15–16 overall. For the third time in four seasons, the Hoyas finished with a 5–13 record in the Big East. Georgetown's hopes of consideration for an NCAA bid had vanished with the losing streak, and it entered the Big East Tournament needing at least one win, and probably more, for 2020 National Invitation Tournament consideration. Georgetown was seeded eighth in the 2020 Big East Tournament. In the first round, played on March 11, the Hoyas faced St. John's, which had finished the regular season tied with the Hoyas but was seeded ninth based on tie-breaking criteria, which gave the nod to Georgetown for sweeping the regular-season series between the teams.
Peter Plett Peter Plett (29 December 1766 – 29 March 1823) was a German teacher and pioneer of smallpox vaccine from Schleswig-Holstein. His work with smallpox vaccine, undertaken in the early 1790s before similar studies by Edward Jenner, was not acknowledged until many years later. Plett was born on 29 December 1766 in Klein Rheide. In 1790, Plett was employed as a home tutor in Schönweide where he learnt from milkmaids about cowpox preventing humans from being infected with smallpox. In 1791, he moved to the Meierhof at Hasselburg in Gut Wittenberg/East-Holstein where he vaccinated its owner Martini's three children with cowpox lymph which protected them against smallpox. Only five years later, Edward Jenner discovered this very method which made him world-famous. In 1790 and again in 1791/92, Plett reported his success to the medical faculty of the University of Kiel, but they favoured the older method of variolation so they did not act on the reports. In 1802 after Jenner's method had reached Germany, Plett was interviewed by Friedrich Adolf von Heinze on behalf of Christoph Heinrich Pfaff from the Medical Faculty of the University of Kiel. His report was published by Pfaff and Heinze and later forwarded to the German Office of the government in Copenhagen. From 1793 on, Plett attended the teachers' seminar led by Heinrich Müller in Kiel. He was encouraged by his principal pastor Johann Georg Schmidt who considered him "one of Müller's most promising seminar attendees" and engaged him as a teacher in Laboe in 1796 in Stakendorf in 1808. Franz Hermann Hegewisch, who became a professor of the University of Kiel in 1809, discovered Plett's reports about his success with cowpox vaccination and the university's ignorance. He recommended publishing an article about Plett's discoveries to the editor of the "Neue Schleswig-Holsteinische Provinzialberichte" (New provincial reports of Schleswig-Holstein), Georg Peter Petersen. In 1815, Petersen published the previous year's interview with Plett, so he confirmed Heinze's report of 1802. In 1820, Plett was forced to retire from teaching due to his alcoholism. Pastor Schmidt and his superior, provost Cay Wilhelm von Ahlefeldt, negotiated a modest pension and accommodation with the citizens of Stakendorf.

1933 Santa Clara Broncos football team The 1933 Santa Clara Broncos football team was an American football team that represented Santa Clara University during the 1933 college football season. In their fifth season under head coach Maurice J. "Clipper" Smith, the Broncos compiled a 6–2–1 record and outscored opponents by a total of 101 to 40.
Landing Zone East Landing Zone East (also known as FSB East, LZ Mary Lou, Hill 488 or Howard's Hill) is a former U.S. Army base west of Tam Kỳ, Quảng Nam Province, Vietnam. The base was established in 1967 by the 196th Infantry Brigade and was located approximately 17 km west of Tam Kỳ and 7 km northeast of Tiên Phước Camp. The base was occupied by elements of the 3rd Battalion, 21st Infantry Regiment and 3rd Battalion, 82nd Artillery when it was attacked by the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) 35th Sapper Battalion on the morning of 11 June 1969, resulting in 16 U.S. and 27 PAVN killed. The base is abandoned and has returned to jungle.
George Burt (fencer) Sir George Mowlem Burt (10 January 1884 – 1 September 1964) was a British businessman and fencer, as well as a descendant of George Burt and John Mowlem. Born in Westminster, he was educated at Clifton College, where he first took up fencing. He later competed in the individual and team épée events at the 1920 Summer Olympics, being eliminated in the first round in both competitions. Running his predecessor's construction firm, he involved himself in numerous projects, including the building of the BBC headquarters and the Port of London Authority building, as well as the rebuilding of Buckingham Palace following World War II. He was knighted by George VI of the United Kingdom in 1942 and died in 1964 in Blindley Heath, Surrey.
In contrast, dedicated low emission gas heaters do not require a flue system. Furthermore, with the introduction of oxygen depletion sensors and thermostatic controls, they do not place critical reliance on ventilation as had been the case. These heaters can be positioned more conveniently and centralised to affect optimum warm air distribution. By definition unflued low NOx gas heaters are 100% efficient as all heat energy released from the flame is converted to useful heat.
Jefferson-Eppes Trophy The Jefferson-Eppes Trophy is an American college football trophy given to the winner of irregularly played games between the Florida State Seminoles of Florida State University and the Virginia Cavaliers of the University of Virginia. The trophy was created on the suggestion of former FSU President Sandy D'Alemberte, after Virginia became the first ACC program to defeat Florida State on November 2, 1995. To that point, the Seminoles had run up a perfect 29–0 record through their first 3½ years of Atlantic Coast Conference play. Virginia and Florida State played each other yearly between 1992 and 2006, but the game never became a major rivalry (e.g., called "one of the lesser known rivalries in college football" by the "Orlando Sentinel"). The annual game was not preserved by the ACC when its divisional play began, and the Cavaliers and Seminoles began facing off much more rarely. In recent decades the games are sporadic but competitive: since 2005, Virginia is 3–2 against Florida State (as of 2019). Virginia won the most recent trophy game in 2019, and currently possesses the Jefferson-Eppes Trophy in Charlottesville. Unless they meet in an ACC Championship Game, Florida State and Virginia will not match up on the gridiron again until at least 2025. This football trophy was created in 1995 by Florida State president Sandy D'Alemberte and was named for former President of the United States and founder of the University of Virginia, Thomas Jefferson, and Jefferson's grandson Francis W. Eppes, a two-time mayor of Tallahassee and founder of the West Florida Seminary (now Florida State University). In 1856, he donated the land and funds for the seminary that was to later evolve into FSU. Thomas Jefferson's youngest daughter was Mary Jefferson Eppes, mother of Francis Eppes. Her death, in 1804, prompted Abigail Adams to thaw relations between the Adams and Jefferson families by writing her condolences to Thomas Jefferson. Francis was only three years old when his mother died and had no memory of her. Seven years after this football trophy was created, an Eppes statue was created and placed as a focal point of the FSU Legacy Walk in 2002. Former Florida State president D'Alemberte also spearheaded this effort. The Eppes statue later became controversial, in 2016, due to Eppes' history of expanding his slave ownership to encompass several working cotton plantations prior to the American Civil War, supporting the Confederacy in various ways, and organizing night watches to catch slaves in the streets of territorial Tallahassee.

In Drayton, near Abingdon (Oxfordshire) a junction used by construction vehicles to gain access onto the A34 during its construction still exists as a "closed road", a few miles from the nearest alternative accesses. Plans are in discussion regarding possible re-opening of this closed access point. The idea that the proposed Oxford to Cambridge Expressway (linking the current A34 near Oxford to the A14 near Cambridge) will be designated as A34, does not have any official status. The original (1922) route of the A34 was Winchester to Oxford, much shorter than it is today. It was extended to Manchester on 1 April 1935, replacing part of the A42 (Oxford to Birmingham through Shipston-on-Stour, Stratford-upon-Avon and Henley-in-Arden), A455 (Birmingham to Stafford), part of the A449 (Stafford to Newcastle under Lyme) and A526 (Newcastle to Manchester). By 1953 the route was as follows: When the Oxford Ring Road was completed to the west of Oxford in 1962, the old route through the city was renumbered the A4144. On completion of the Abingdon Bypass in the 1970s, the old route from the Oxford Ring Road through Abingdon and Steventon to Chilton was partly declassified (for ) and the rest renumbered A4183, B4017, A4130 and A4185. In 1991, shortly after the completion of the M40 motorway, the road between Oxford and Solihull was renumbered. Between Chipping Norton and Solihull the road lost its primary route status and was renumbered A3400, and south of Chipping Norton the route became part of an extended A44. The A34 was diverted north from the Oxford Ring Road to the M40 along parts of the former routes of the A43 and A421. Much of the long-distance traffic formerly carried by the present A3400 now uses the M40 to Birmingham, and the M42 and M6 to by-pass the city. When the Newbury Bypass was opened in 1998, the old route through Newbury became part of the A339 and the B4640. The long planned and often postponed Alderley Edge bypass was completed in November 2010, ahead of schedule and within the £52 million budget. The official opening ceremony was conducted by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Rt Hon George Osborne MP, on 19 November 2010.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police Academy and RCMP Heritage Centre are both located in the capital city of Regina. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police Academy is a training facility for "Red Coats" or the "Royal Canadian Mounted Police" officers, while the RCMP Heritage Centre is a museum relates history and memorabilia of the RCMP. Fort Walsh was home to the North-West Mounted Police in the 19th century. Located in south western Saskatchewan, it oversaw activities in the Big Muddy Badlands north of the Canadian United States border. Sitting Bull, James Walsh, Big Bear, James Macleod, Sam Steele, Dutch Henry, Jones-Nelson gang, Sam Kelly, Chief Sitting Bull, Crazy Horse, John A. Macdonald and George Armstrong Custer are some names of historic legend in this area. From west to east:
In addition, some conservative plumbing codes still require leaded hub joints for final connections where the sewer main leaves a building. Cast iron DWV pipe and fittings are still used in premium construction because they muffle the sound of wastewater rushing through them, but today they are rarely joined with traditional lead joints. Instead, pipe and fittings with plain (non-belled) connections are butted against each other, and clamped with special rubber sleeve (or "no-hub") fittings. The rubber sleeves are typically secured with stainless steel worm drive clamping bands, which compress the rubber to make a tight seal around the pipes and fittings. These pipe clamps are similar to hose clamps, but are heavier-duty and ideally are made completely of stainless steel (including the screw) to provide maximum service life. Optionally, the entire rubber sleeve may be jacketed with thin sheet metal, to provide extra stiffness, durability, and resistance to accidental penetration by a misplaced nail or screw. Although the fittings are not cheap, they are reasonably durable (the rubber is typically neoprene or flexible PVC). An alternative design also allows the selective use of belled fittings made entirely of flexible rubber, including more-complex shapes such as wyes or tee-wyes. They are secured to cast iron pipe segments by use of stainless steel worm drive clamps. Because these fittings are not as stiff as traditional cast-iron fittings, the heavy pipe segments may need better anchoring and support to prevent unwanted movement. The lighter rubber fittings may not muffle sound as well as the heavy cast-iron fittings. An advantage of flexible rubber fittings is that they can accommodate small misalignments, and can be flexed slightly for installation in tight locations. A flexible fitting may be preferred to connect a shower or heavy tub to the drainage system without transmitting slight movements or stresses which could eventually cause cracking. Flexible fittings may also be used to reduce transmission of vibration into the DWV system. If necessary, clamped joints can be disassembled later, and the fittings and pipe may be reconfigured. However, it is often not customary to re-use the clamps and rubber sleeves, which may be deformed by their previous installation, and may not seal as well after being rearranged. Clamped fittings may occasionally need to be disassembled to provide access for "snaking" or "rodding-out" with a special tool, to clear blockage or clogs. This is also an indication that a clean-out fitting could be installed to provide easier future access.
With parents-in-law there was great familiarity. Step-father and step-daughter kept their distance. Descent was ambilateral and kinship traced in any line allowed an individual to claim membership in more than one local group. Residence with a given group activated membership in it as a kinsman, and while there the individual gave it his loyalty and participated in its activities. Although residence was mainly patrilocal, in the long run there was no set rule. People were constantly moving between groups. Rank was closely linked with kinship, positions, such as chief, being inherited by primogeniture. A chief (the native term, hawii, also means 'wealthy upper class') was simply the highest-ranking member of a kin group of whatever level. Rank was founded on inherited rights called tupa'ti, thought of as property, which governed the ownership and use of practically everything of value. Tupa'ti, depending on their nature, could be inherited by an eldest son, shared by several children, held by an eldest daughter until her marriage and then transferred to her brother, or given to a son-in-law as common alternatives. There was a sense of patrimony of rights in a local group to be kept as intact as possible as it passed down through successive chiefs. The inheritance of tupa'ti tended to be through males. Over generations a number of descent lines developed in a group in a ranked relationship made explicit at feasts and potlatches in the order of seating, serving, and gift receiving. Rank was also constantly embodied in the place occupied in the big house. The top chief and house owner occupied the right rear (right for one facing the entrance), the next in rank, a brother or other close kinsman, the left rear. In between might be the head's married sons. Left and right front corners belonged to the third and fourth ranked. Middle sides could be for fifth and sixth ranked. Such interior locations were hereditarily owned. By the entrance were the slaves, mostly war captives, who were significant as trade objects, protective attendants, and even sacrificial victims. Commoners (were either those living with a chief, often quite close relatives, or less definitely associated transients along the sides. They always belonged to some chief who addressed them as kin. Even secondary chiefs were mascim (commoner) to a head chief. Although rank was graded continuously, an upper stratum could be distinguished consisting of indisputable chiefs with potlacht seats and titles to resource sites plus closely associated supporters, generally immediate relatives.
Los Restos Indígenas de Pichilemu Los Restos Indígenas de Pichilemu ("The Indigenous Remains of Pichilemu") was a 1908 book published by Chilean historian José Toribio Medina. Medina presents a report of his examination to indigenous rests found in a Pichilemu grotto (currently named "Virgin's Grotto"—) by Agustín Ross and Evaristo Merino in 1908. The book contains two sheets, that show some tools that Promoucaes indigenous used.

Waiting on You (Ultra Naté song) "Waiting on You" is a song by the American recording artists Ultra Naté and Michelle Williams, taken from Naté's sixth studio album, "Hero Worship" (2012). It was written by Brinsley Evans, Costantino Padovano, Julien Aletti, Raphael Aletti and Femi Williams. In 2009, Williams told Nick Levine in an interview for "Digital Spy" that she had "just" recorded "a big dance song with Ultra Naté". Williams described the song as "a big track" titled "I'm Waiting On You" and said "they're doing the final revisions on it at the moment and I'm very, very excited about it". She also revealed that the song would not only be on Naté's next album but possibly on hers also. On December 1, 2011, the video director Karl Giant tweeted, "in preproduction for my next music video "WAITING ON YOU" Starring Ultra Natè and Michelle Williams (Destiny's Child) It's will be on fire!"."sic" The following week, he revealed the music video shoot would commence on December 8, 2011. The video was first shown on YouTube on 2 May 2012.
Matrix norm In mathematics, a matrix norm is a vector norm in a vector space whose elements (vectors) are matrices (of given dimensions). In what follows, formula_1 will denote a field of either real or complex numbers. Let formula_2 denote the vector space of all matrices of size formula_3 (with formula_4 rows and formula_5 columns) with entries in the field formula_1. A matrix norm is a norm on the vector space formula_2. Thus, the matrix norm is a function formula_8 that must satisfy the following properties: For all scalars formula_9 and for all matrices formula_10, Additionally, in the case of square matrices (thus, ), some (but not all) matrix norms satisfy the following condition, which is related to the fact that matrices are more than just vectors: A matrix norm that satisfies this additional property is called a submultiplicative norm (in some books, the terminology "matrix norm" is used only for those norms which are submultiplicative). The set of all formula_19 matrices, together with such a submultiplicative norm, is an example of a Banach algebra. The definition of submultiplicativity is sometimes extended to non-square matrices, for instance in the case of the induced "p"-norm, where for formula_20 and formula_21 holds that formula_22. Here formula_23 and formula_24 are the norms induced from formula_25 and formula_26, respectively, and . There are three types of matrix norms which will be discussed below: Suppose a vector norm formula_27 on formula_28 is given. Any formula_3 matrix induces a linear operator from formula_25 to formula_28 with respect to the standard basis, and one defines the corresponding "induced norm" or "operator norm" on the space formula_2 of all formula_3 matrices as follows: In particular, if the "p"-norm for vectors () is used for both spaces formula_25 and formula_28, then the corresponding induced operator norm is: These induced norms are different from the "entrywise" "p"-norms and the Schatten "p"-norms for matrices treated below, which are also usually denoted by formula_38 Any induced operator norm is a submultiplicative matrix norm: formula_50 this follows from and Moreover, any induced norm satisfies the inequality where is the spectral radius of .
Anthony Centracchio Anthony Centracchio (October 12, 1929 – August 6, 2001) was a reputed mob boss in the Chicago Outfit who died in 2001 while awaiting trial on federal racketeering charges. In 1997, the Chicago Sun-Times identified Centracchio as heading up the Chicago Outfit's operations in DuPage County, Illinois. And in July 1997, the Sun-Times identified Centracchio as heading up the Outfit's operations in Chicago's western suburbs and on Chicago's West Side. In 1999, the Chicago Tribune identified Centracchio as being one of only three area bosses reporting to Chicago's two top mob bosses. In 1962, Centracchio was convicted of stealing two trucks containing $75,000 worth of TVs and radios. Centracchio wound up serving about 18 months in federal prison. Centracchio also was once described as a lieutenant of longtime Chicago Outfit boss Joseph Lombardo. For much of his career, Centracchio operated legitimate businesses, including an abortion clinic on Chicago's West Side that had been incorporated in 1990. Centracchio also owned part of a carpet company and a jewelry shop. In January 1996, Chicago newspapers reported that Centracchio was the subject of a federal probe that involved him allegedly paying the former chief of police of Northlake, Illinois and the former chief of detectives of Stone Park, Illinois to protect illegal poker machines, entertainment and vice in the two suburbs. Investigators were alleged to have installed a hidden camera in Centracchio's office, as well as bugging the phones of the two officers. The former Northlake police chief, Seymour Sapoznik, pleaded guilty in February 1997, admitting he accepted payoffs from the mob from 1990 until 1994. Sapoznik later was sentenced to seven years and four months in federal prison. On May 3, 1999, Centracchio was charged by federal officials with bribing the mayor of Stone Park, Illinois and a former Franklin Park, Illinois police officer with monthly payments dating back to 1978 to protect illegal video gambling operations in the two suburbs. Centracchio also was charged with extortion in connection with collecting "street taxes" from several adult bookstores and theaters in Illinois and Wisconsin. In addition, Centracchio was charged with possessing a firearm as a felon. The indictment also alleged that Centracchio had been involved in illegal gambling operations since 1978 and had been the boss since mob boss Louis Eboli died in 1987. Finally, Centracchio was charged with paying protection money to police and village officials in Northlake, Illinois, and Melrose Park, Illinois.
The report described the fore deck of the ship as "badly rent and torn up" and noted that two of the destroyer's four stacks were knocked out of alignment by the blast, with one askew at a 25° angle from its normal position. The newspaper speculated that faulty metal in the No. 1 boiler's mud drum was the cause of the explosion. Although repairs were estimated to take roughly three months, "Aylwin" was placed out of commission and remained inactive for more than a year at the Norfolk Navy Yard. She was recommissioned on 25 May 1915 and assigned to the 6th Division, Torpedo Flotilla, Atlantic Fleet. The ship then cruised along the east coast carrying out routine patrols. Prior to the entrance of the United States into World War I, she served on Neutrality Patrols, trying to protect American and neutral-flagged merchant ships from interference by British or German warships and U-boats. In the course of performing those duties, "Aylwin" was at Newport, Rhode Island in early October 1916. At 05:30 on 8 October, wireless reports came in of a German submarine stopping ships near the Lightship Nantucket, off the eastern end of Long Island. After an SOS from the British steamer was received at about 12:30, Rear Admiral Albert Gleaves ordered "Aylwin" and other destroyers at Newport to attend to survivors. The American destroyers arrived on the scene about 17:00 when the U-boat, under the command of "Kapitänleutnant" Hans Rose, was in the process of stopping the Holland-America Line cargo ship . Shortly after, "U-53" stopped the British passenger ship . As Rose had done with three other ships, "U-53" had sunk earlier in the day, he gave passengers and crew aboard "Blommersdijk" and "Stephano" adequate time to abandon the ships before sinking the pair. At one point, Rose signaled "Aylwin" requesting that she move out of the way to allow "Stephano" to be torpedoed, much to the later chagrin of Lord Beresford, who denounced "Aylwin"s compliance as "aiding and abetting" the Germans in a speech in the House of Lords. In total, 226 survivors from "U-53"s five victims were rescued by the destroyer flotilla. "Aylwin" picked up the crew of "Stephano" and a number of passengers, later transferring them to destroyer for return to Newport.
However, this rather was some general reasoning without actually presenting exploitation examples and implied restricting Bash functionality with the effect that some Bash scripts won't work any more, even if "not" intended to harm other users. On 27 September 2014, Michał Zalewski from Google Inc. announced his discovery of other Bash vulnerabilities, one based upon the fact that Bash is typically compiled without address space layout randomization. On 1 October, Zalewski released details of the final bugs and confirmed that a patch by Florian Weimer from Red Hat posted on 25 September does indeed prevent them. He has done that using a fuzzing technique with the aid of software utility known as "american fuzzy lop". This original form of the vulnerability () involves a specially crafted environment variable containing an exported function definition, followed by arbitrary commands. Bash incorrectly executes the trailing commands when it imports the function. The vulnerability can be tested with the following command: env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c "echo this is a test" In systems affected by the vulnerability, the above commands will display the word "vulnerable" as a result of Bash executing the command "echo vulnerable", which was embedded into the specially crafted environment variable named "x". Discovered by Michał Zalewski, the vulnerability , which relates to the parsing of function definitions in environment variables by Bash, can cause a segfault. Also discovered by Michał Zalewski, this bug () relates to the parsing of function definitions in environment variables by Bash. On the same day the original vulnerability was published, Tavis Ormandy discovered this related bug (), which is demonstrated in the following code: env X='() { (a)=>\' bash -c "echo date"; cat echo On a vulnerable system, this would execute the command "date" unintentionally. Here is an example of a system that has a patch for CVE-2014-6271 but not CVE-2014-7169: $ X='() { (a)=>\' bash -c "echo date" bash: X: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `=' bash: X: line 1: `' bash: error importing function definition for `X' $ cat echo Fri Sep 26 01:37:16 UTC 2014 The system displays syntax errors, notifying the user that CVE-2014-6271 has been prevented, but still writes a file named 'echo', into the working directory, containing the result of the 'date' call.
Many men carried their own long rifles, while the British were issued muskets (except for one unit of 500 riflemen). However, leadership was inconsistent in the American officer corps; some officers proved themselves to be outstanding, but many others were inept, owing their positions to political favors. Congress was hostile to a standing army, and the government called out 450,000 men from the state militias during the war. However, the state militias were poorly trained, armed, and led. The failed invasion of Canadian Lake Champlain led by General Dearborn illustrates this. The British Army soundly defeated the Maryland and Virginia militias at the Battle of Bladensburg in 1814, and President Madison commented, "I could never have believed so great a difference existed between regular troops and a militia force, if I had not witnessed the scenes of this day." The British Royal Navy was a well-led, professional force, considered the world's most powerful navy. However, America was a secondary concern as long as the war continued with France. In 1813, France had 80 ships-of-the-line and was building another 35, and containing the French fleet had to be the main British naval concern. In Upper Canada, the British had the Provincial Marine which was essential for keeping the army supplied, since the roads were abysmal in Upper Canada. The Royal Navy had two schooners on Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence, while the Provincial Marine maintained four small warships on Lake Erie. The British Army in North America was a very professional and well-trained force, but it was outnumbered. The militias of Upper Canada and Lower Canada had a much lower level of military effectiveness. Nevertheless, Canadian militia and locally recruited regular units known as "Fencibles" were often more reliable than American militia, particularly when defending their own territory. As such, they played pivotal roles in various engagements, including at the Battle of the Chateauguay, where Canadian and Mohawk forces stopped a much larger American force without assistance from regular British units. The indigenous allies of the British avoided pitched battles and relied on irregular warfare, including raids and ambushes which took advantage of their knowledge of terrain. Native chiefs sought to fight only under favorable conditions; they would avoid any battle that promised heavy losses. Their main weapons were a mixture of muskets, rifles, bows, tomahawks, knives, swords, and clubs. They were brave, but their tactics favored defense rather than offense. In the words of Benn, the Native Americans fighting with US forces provided them with their "most effective light troops", while the British desperately needed the tribes as allies to compensate for their numerical inferiority.
Tricia Walker Patricia Margaret Walker (8 February 1964 – 8 January 2018), better known as Tricia Walker, was a contemporary British author, best known for her debut novel "Benedict's Brother", which was voted 'Book of the Year' by Publishing News and was the best-selling launch by an unknown debut author for Borders UK in 2007. The book follows the journey of a young woman, Benedict, who inherits money from her uncle, a deceased Japanese prisoner of war who was posted in Thailand. Like the protagonist in the book, Walker used the money she inherited from her own POW uncle, Ernest Taylor, to discover what happened to him and also visit her brother who is a Buddhist monk in Thailand. Walker was the daughter of author Peter Walker, who wrote more than 130 books (under six pseudonyms). Under the pseudonym Nicholas Rhea he wrote the popular Constable series, which was the inspiration behind the successful British TV police drama, "Heartbeat", which was broadcast on ITV in 18 series from 1992–2000. "Benedict's Brother" launched as an eBook on all major platforms on 18 November 2013. A motion picture based on the book was in development. Tricia Walker was born in Northallerton, North Yorkshire, to author Peter Walker and his wife Rhoda (née Smith). She was the third of four children. Walker had a rural upbringing in a small village. Growing up in a Roman Catholic household, she chose the name Benedict (after St.Benedict of Nursia) as her confirmation name. She went to secondary school at Bar Convent in York, and was a weekly boarder. After completing her BA Honours in Humanities from Middlesex University (formerly Middlesex Polytechnic) in London, she worked for a brief while in marketing. In her early thirties, Walker went to visit her brother who is a Buddhist monk in Thailand. The seed of the story came from her quest to find out what happened to her uncle, who left her £5000, which she used to make the trip. In similar vein, the opening line of "Benedict's Brother" reads: "Today, my great uncle left me one hundred and thirty-nine thousand pounds. I've no idea what to do with it". In hindsight, Walker realised the journey to Thailand was her own way of coping with the death of a close childhood friend at the time. The physical setting and scenario of her journey is captured through the book but the story has been fictionalised for impact.
Gaetano Pesce Gaetano Pesce (born 8 November 1939) is an Italian architect and a design pioneer of the 20th century. Pesce was born in La Spezia in 1939, and he grew up in Padua and Florence. During his 50-year career, Mr. Pesce has worked as an architect, urban planner, and industrial designer. His outlook is considered broad and humanistic, and his work is characterized by an inventive use of color and materials, asserting connections between the individual and society, through art, architecture, and design to reappraise mid-twentieth century modern life . Pesce studied architecture at the University of Venice, with such notable teachers as Carlo Scarpa and Ernesto Rogers. Between 1958 and 1963, Mr. Pesce participated in Gruppo N, an early collective concerned with programmed art patterned after the Bauhaus. Since the 1960s, Gaetano Pesce has been known to relate art to the design of interiors, products, and architecture. The New York Times critic Herbert Muschamp described Mr. Pesce as ""the architectural equivalent of a brainstorm."" Pesce's well known work includes "Organic Building" in Osaka, Japan, a Landmark vertical garden building designed to concealing a complex, computer-controlled hydration system to sustain plant growth, and the interior architecture of the Chiat/Day offices, an early workplace "village" modeled after urban life. Among Mr. Pesce's architecture achievements are Les Halles ACIH (1979) and Parc de la Villette (1985), Paris, France, a complex of forms shaped like a running child. Pesce's prototypical three-dimensional models and architectural drawings are held in the permanent museum collections of MoMA, Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Cooper-Hewitt Smithsonian Design Museum in New York City; the Philadelphia Museum of Art,PA; San Francisco Museum of Art, California; Victoria and Albert Museum, London; Vitra Design Museum, Germany; Danish Museum of Art & Design, Copenhagen; Centre Pompidou and Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, France, and the Triennale Museum, Milan, Italy. Since the 1960s, Mr. Pesce has researched the function and form of utilitarian and decorative objects, including furniture, jewelry, and shoes, from the perspective of human emotion, environment, and production. Pesce is known for innovative high-minded modern design with wit and style.

This was the 37th season of Division III college ice hockey. The MASCAC began sponsoring men's ice hockey for the 2009–10 season. Five league members joined with two other schools (who became affiliate members) to form the new conference. Because six of the schools had previously been in ECAC Northeast it caused a realignment within that conference which caused the four Division II schools to formally leave and form Northeast-10's ice hockey division along with two schools from ECAC East. The two teams from ECAC East were members of both conferences from 2009 until 2017 when they left the ECAC East (by then called the New England Hockey Conference).

C. R. Beresford Claude Richard Beresford also known as Claude Richard de la Poer Beresford (9 March 1888 – 19 September 1945) was a journalist in South Australia. He wrote more than 2,000 pieces of topical verse for "The News" and "The Mail" under the pen name "Seebee". Beresford was a son of Richard de la Poer Beresford, a descendant of an old Irish family, and Sydney Julia Beresford, née Acraman, of Barton Terrace, North Adelaide. He was wharf manager at Port Adelaide for the Melbourne Steamship Co., and in his spare moments wrote verse and topical pieces for the Adelaide press. In 1923 he joined the staff of News Ltd., and remained with the company for 22 years, writing many articles on shipping and the early history of the colony, of which he was a recognised authority. Though not a sea traveller, he amassed a valuable collection of paintings of sailing ships. Beresford married Marion Beaven ( – ) in 1915; their family included: They had a home at Martin Avenue, Fitzroy. Each of the children was also known as "de la Poer Beresford".
Hornworts are unique in having a gene called LCIB, which is not found in any other known land plants but occurs in some species of algae. It allows them to concentrate carbon dioxide inside their chloroplasts, making the production of sugar more efficient. Hornworts were traditionally considered a class within the division Bryophyta (bryophytes). However, it now appears that this former division is paraphyletic, so the hornworts are now given their own division, Anthocerotophyta (sometimes misspelled Anthocerophyta). The division Bryophyta is now restricted to include only mosses. Traditionally, there is a single class of hornworts, called Anthocerotopsida, or older Anthocerotae. More recently, a second class Leiosporocertotopsida has been segregated for the singularly unusual species "Leiosporoceros dussii". All other hornworts remain in the class Anthocerotopsida. These two classes are divided further into five orders, each containing a single family. Among land plants, hornworts are one of the earliest-diverging lineages of the early land plant ancestors ; cladistic analysis implies that the group originated prior to the Devonian, around the same time as the mosses and liverworts. There are about 200 species known, but new species are still being discovered. The number and names of genera are a current matter of investigation, and several competing classification schemes have been published since 1988. Structural features that have been used in the classification of hornworts include: the anatomy of chloroplasts and their numbers within cells, the presence of a pyrenoid, the numbers of antheridia within androecia, and the arrangement of jacket cells of the antheridia. Recent studies of molecular, ultrastructural, and morphological data have yielded a new classification of hornworts.

The IBP National Committee on Bar Discipline is the special group monitoring and upholding ethical practices in the profession. The IBP National Committee on Legal Aid is the ad hoc committee for establishing and maintaining suitable legal aid offices in all IBP Chapters nationwide. On December 20, 2007, the Integrated Bar of the Philippines (thru IBP president Feliciano Bautista and all the 9 members of the IBP Board of Governors - IBP governors Abelardo Estrada, Ernesto Gonzales Jr, Marcial Magsino, Bonifacio Barandon Jr, Evergisto Escalon, Raymond Jorge Mercado, Ramon Edison Batacan and Carlos Valdez Jr.) affirmed their published statement that it "is prepared to stage street protests to express the "growing anger" of lawyers over controversies pestering the Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo's administration; we are ready. If we have to go to the streets we'll do it. We can't remain silent and neutral." Integrated Bar of the Philippines (48,000 members in 83 chapters nationwide) president Feliciano Bautista informed Newsbreak newspaper that the bribery expose of Governor Eddie Panlilio triggered hitting the “culture of corruption” in the Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo administration. The statement of concern advertisement was published in the Philippine Daily Inquirer on December 17 and in Philippine Star on December 20. IBP called for 3 courses of action: a) "prosecution of cases against corrupt government officials, b) continued Senate investigation on alleged corruption in government contracts, and c) filing of an impeachment case against President Arroyo." IBP also held the government responsible for widespread smuggling activities, extrajudicial killings, forced disappearances, and ghost projects. It called on the House of Representatives to endorse the impeachment complaint against President Arroyo and admonished the Senate to continue probes on government anomalies. In March 2006, the IBP, for the first time, organized its lawyers in a street protest against President Arroyo’s Proclamation 1017.
It's unbelievable". Northern Ireland's deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness also paid tribute. After the funerals, two council meetings were thought to be planning to talk about road safety and counselling. There was a call for the establishment of a co-ordinated response strategy for Inishowen. The funerals took place over a three-day period, attended by hundreds of people and each receiving extensive media coverage. On 14 July, the funerals of Hugh Friel, Mark McLaughlin and Patrick "PJ" McLaughlin took place. On 15 July, the funerals of Paul Doherty, Eamonn McDaid, Ciaran Sweeney and Damien McLaughlin took place. Paul Doherty was buried on his twentieth birthday. On 16 July, the final funeral, that of James McEleney, took place. By the time of the final funeral the survivor was not well enough to be interviewed; a long spell in hospital was expected with the possibility of surgery. It was revealed on 27 July that he had been informed of the deaths of his friends; he had woken from a coma but was sent to a hospital in Dublin for further treatment. On 10 November 2011, the driver was charged with dangerous driving causing eight deaths, with the defence saying his injuries meant he did not pose a "flight" risk. On 9 February 2012, the Book of Evidence was served on the driver Shaun Kelly at Buncrana District Court, and the case was adjourned until the following month. Kelly was convicted at trial. His sentence later increased on appeal as 'unduly lenient' for the ‘worst case of dangerous driving in history of the State’. In a 2016 inquest, a solicitor for Shaun Kelly (then serving a sentence after pleading guilty to causing death by dangerous driving) made claims of a "coverup", stating that his client "accepted causing the deaths of the eight men, but denied causing the accident". He alleged that the driver of another car was "inches on the wrong side of the road" when the first collision occurred, a claim refuted by other statements at the inquest (including Garda evidence that the other car was 90cm on the correct side of the road at time of impact). Ultimately the inquest upheld the verdict, with the inquest jury stating that the victims were "unlawfully killed consistent with dangerous driving". Kelly's original 4-year sentence was doubled to 8-years by the court of appeal.
Another dentist, Dr. Foley, logically concludes that the missing teeth and money are due to a black-market tooth racket that he has seen before in Montreal. The other dentists scoff at him and assume that Montreal is a fictional place. The boys are now rather wealthy from the tooth racket, but Cartman persuades them to cut their ties to Loogie and make more profits. Loogie learns about this and tries to have Kenny drowned by tying his feet to concrete weights and throwing him into the Platte River, which only covers Kenny up to his ankles. The local TV news reports a story about a child, Billy, who needs $600 for a bone marrow transplant, and has recently lost a tooth, but his parents plan to leave him the money. The story is a trap set by Dr. Foley to prove the ADA wrong. (Although the report was a trap, Billy did have the illness and did need the money.) Loogie and his gang arrive to confront the boys for severing their ties, but as soon as Cartman finally catches the money, the trap is activated and all of the boys (including Loogie) are caught. Kyle, meanwhile, disappears while questioning his own existence, but soon reappears wielding control over all reality, even becoming the half-chicken half-squirrel beast, scaring both Loogie's gang and the ADA away. Only Stan, Cartman, and Loogie remain when Kyle eventually reappears back to normal. Loogie, despite being upset that he would fall for the ADA's trap, decides that the fall of his empire is a good thing, ending the tooth racket and hoping to try out for flag football. Meanwhile, Billy is saved, as he discovers the "Tooth Fairy"'s money under his bed. As the credits roll, Kenny who is still attached to his concrete shoes, slowly hops through the shallow river and then falls into a deep spot. As he drowns, Timmy zooms across the bridge above and shouts his own name. As explained in the FAQ section on the official website, "When the year 2000 was coming up, everyone and their brother had '2000' in the titles of their products and TV shows. America was obsessed with 2000, so Trey Parker put '2000' in the titles to make fun of the ubiquity of the phrase."
To "counter the obvious violation of the spirit of the riba ban", some banks have required the complication (and expense) of two additional commodity brokers in addition to the customer and financier. On the other hand, Faleel Jamaldeen states that "commodity "murabaha"" contracts are used to fund short-term liquidity requirements for Islamic interbank transactions, although they may not use gold, silver, barley, salt, wheat or dates for commodities as this is forbidden under "Riba al-Fadl". Among the Islamic banks using "Tawarruq" (as of 2012) according to Jamaldeen, include the United Arab Bank, QNB Al Islamic, Standard Chartered of United Arab Emirates, and Bank Muaamalat of Malaysia. In the United States the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency—which regulates nationally licensed banks—has allowed "murabaha":Interpretive Letter #867. November 1999 ... In the current financial marketplace lending takes many forms . ... murabaha financing proposals are functionally equivalent to or a logical outgrowth of secured real estate lending and inventory and equipment financing, activities that are part of the business of banking. Orthodox Islamic Scholars such as Taqi Usmani emphasize that murâbaḥah should only be used as a structure of last resort where profit and loss sharing instruments are unavailable. Usmani himself describes "murâbaḥah" as a "borderline transaction" with "very fine lines of distinction" compared to an interest bearing loan, as "susceptible to misuse", and "not an ideal way of financing". He laments that Many institutions financing by way of "murabahah" determine their profit or mark-up on the basis of the current interest rate, mostly using LIBOR (Inter-bank offered rate in London) as the criterion. Another pioneer, Mohammad Najatuallah Siddiqui, has lamented that "as a result of diverting most of its funds towards murabaha, Islamic financial institutions may be failing in their expected role of mobilizing resources for development of the countries and communities they are serving," and even bringing about "a crisis of identity of the Islamic financial movement." Some Muslims (Rakaan Kayali among others) complain that "murabaha" does not eliminate interest as it guarantees for itself the amount of profit it collects, and so amounts to a "Ḥiyal" or legal "trick" to defeat the intent of shariah.
Basted, Kent Basted is a hamlet in the Tonbridge and Malling district, in the county of Kent, England.
At first, Farrand & Votey built only reed organs, but in 1888 it started making pipe organs and hired more men. The factory had the capacity to produce 600 pianos, organs, and mechanical piano players per month or 7,200 units per year. The firm employed over 400 workers by 1905. These instruments were sold throughout the United States and worldwide. The Farrand & Votey Organ Company bought the business and patents of the Roosevelt Organ Works in 1889. It began making organs for the Aeolian Company around 1890. The first Aeolian Organ was installed in New York City's Aeolian Hall in 1893. The partnership bought out the firm of Granville Pipe Organ Company in 1889. The firm sometimes constructed impressively large organs. They made one each for the Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh, the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee, and the First Church of Christ, Scientist in Boston. A monumental pipe organ was produced for the First Presbyterian Church of Detroit in 1891 that had 2,700 pipes. An enormous pipe organ, considered to be the largest in the nation at the time, was contracted for San Francisco's St. Ignatius Church in 1897 that had 5,000 pipes that were electrically operated for ease of operation. The company made an elaborate pipe organ for the 1893 Chicago World's Fair. This massive organ was displayed in the Festival Hall at the fair, with a formal dedication on August 1, 1893. There were over 1,200 people in attendance. World-renowned musicians, including the French organist and composer Alexander Guilmant, played recitals with the colossal organ. The huge organ was played most often by Clarence Eddy, who was the organist at the First Congregational Church in Chicago. There was an award given to the Farrand & Votey Organ Company by the World's Fair jury on musical instruments. After the Chicago's World Fair the organ was taken apart and transported to the University of Michigan to be reassembled in 1894 and installed at University Hall becoming the Frieze Memorial Organ. The old original Farrand & Votey reed organs were a mechanical instrument where the organist had to push the foot pedals alternately to make the organ work. There were two pedals just above floor level below the keyboard as they sat at the organ. They were a foot long by a half a foot wide each and located a few inches apart. The organist's feet rested on these two pedals and operated the organ with them.
William Beatty (surgeon) Sir William Beatty (April 1773 – 25 March 1842) was an Irish surgeon who served in the Royal Navy. Born in Derry, Ireland, he joined as a surgeon's mate in 1791 at the age of 18. He is best known as the Ship's Surgeon aboard during the Battle of Trafalgar, at which he witnessed the death of Admiral Horatio Nelson, and for authoring an account of that battle – "". He was the eldest son of James Beatty, an officer in the Irish Revenue Service, and Ann Smyth. No records survive of his education, though he attended a local school, most likely Foyle College, before beginning his medical studies. He may have been apprenticed to his uncle George Smyth, a half-pay naval surgeon in nearby Buncrana, before studying at either the University of Glasgow or at "The United Hospitals of the Borough" - the joint medical school of Guy's and St Thomas' Hospitals in London. What is known is that on 5 May 1791, the 18-year-old Beatty was examined before the London Company of Surgeons, and found qualified for employment by the Navy. Beatty was promptly appointed Second surgeon's mate aboard the 64-gun third-rate ship , but was soon reassigned, moving to the 32-gun frigate in September 1791. He was promoted to First surgeon's mate of the 32-gun frigate on 1 February 1793, the same day that Revolutionary France declared war on Britain. The ship sailed for the Caribbean, where on 5 December 1793, he was appointed acting-surgeon of the schooner . On 25 June 1794 he was appointed acting-surgeon of the 28-gun frigate at Port-au-Prince, where he was immediately confronted with an epidemic of yellow fever in which fifty men, one-quarter of the crew, died. "Alligator" returned to England, where on 19 February 1795 Beatty was once again examined by the Company of Surgeons, and was judged qualified to serve as a ship's surgeon. Beatty was appointed to the 28-gun frigate on 8 March 1795, but soon fell foul of his captain the Hon. Augustus Fitzroy. On 19 July, a discussion over the status of two men that Beatty had placed on the Sick List quickly became acrimonious, with Fitzroy accusing Beatty of incompetence and contempt, before ordering him to be arrested.

Matt Cappotelli Matthew Lee Cappotelli (November 12, 1979 – June 29, 2018) was an American professional wrestler. After co-winning "Tough Enough III" with John Hennigan, he worked in Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), the primary developmental territory for WWE. He ended his career due to a malignant brain tumor. Cappotelli, along with John Hennigan, won a World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) contract by winning "Tough Enough III". During the show Hardcore Holly aggressively roughed up Matt while training, stiffly striking Cappotelli repeatedly, leaving him bleeding. After winning, he made sporadic appearances on WWE shows. At Vengeance Cappotelli competed in The APA Invitational Bar Room Brawl which Bradshaw won. Cappotelli was then sent to Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW). There, he formed a tag team known as The Thrill Seekers with Johnny Jeter. On November 9 at an OVW television taping, Cappotelli captured the OVW Heavyweight Championship by defeating his former tag team partner, Johnny Jeter. On February 8, 2006, he announced that he had previously been diagnosed with a grade 2/3 astrocytoma and surrendered the title to OVW owner Danny Davis at a television taping in Louisville, Kentucky. Cappotelli announced to OVW wrestlers and fans on April 4, 2007 that he would undergo surgery for brain cancer in Boston on May 1. WWE's official website later reported that the surgery was a success, and that the majority of the brain tumor was removed. He was released from his contract in January 2009. Toward the end of 2013, Cappotelli became the trainer for OVW's Beginner Program. Cappotelli attended college at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where he was also a member of the football team. Cappotelli was married to Lindsay. They resided in Louisville, Kentucky, where he also worked as a personal trainer. He was close friends with professional wrestler and Western Michigan alumnus, Colt Cabana. His cousin is "Big Brother" winner Lisa Donahue. In July 2017, Cappotelli announced that he was diagnosed with grade IV glioblastoma multiforme. In May 2018, Cappotelli's wife announced that, after consultations with his neuro-oncologist, Cappotelli was ceasing medical interventions for the tumor. He died on June 29, 2018, at the age of 38.

Hong Kong Basic Law Article 45 Hong Kong Basic Law Article 45 () is an article in the Basic Law (constitution) of Hong Kong. It states that the Chief executive should be chosen by universal suffrage upon nomination by a broadly representative nominating committee as an eventual goal. Article 45 gives the requirements for choosing the Chief Executive: Details of procedures to be adopted are found in Annex I to the Basic Law where the same expression "broadly representative" is used to describe the constituency of the Election Committee notwithstanding its only representing a tiny section of the total number of registered electors. The focus of initial controversy was on the timetable for progress towards universal suffrage but, having extracted a promise of a timetable of reform (2016 for the legislature and 2017 for the Chief Executive) heated debate ensued over the details of the election systems to be employed. Positions on both sides hardened in early 2013, with the newly appointed chairman of the PRC government's Law Committee, Qiao Xiaoyang, espousing hard-to-define pre-conditions on CE candidature, ("love China and Hong Kong" and "not oppose the Central Government") including declaring that Beijing would refuse to appoint an unsupportive Hong Kong CE even if democratically elected. Pro-democracy groups formed the Alliance for True Democracy in support of the Occupy Central with Love and Peace protest movement, devised by University of Hong Kong Associate Professor Benny Tai, demanding unconditional universal suffrage.
These vessels, built in Gdańsk in Poland, can each carry 31 cars or 4 trucks, as well as 95 passengers. The crossing takes approximately 20 minutes, and ferries leave around every half-hour at peak times. The Bluemull Sound Ferry sails from Gutcher on Yell to Belmont on Unst and Oddsta on Fetlar. The ferries travel to Unst approximately every half-hour during the day, and to Fetlar a few times every day. The journey to Unst takes ten minutes, while travelling to Fetlar takes 25 minutes. The service is operated by "Bigga" and "Geira". There are two main roads, the A968 and the B9081. The A968 runs from Ulsta in the south west of the island to Gutcher in the north east, linking the ferry to and from Mainland, Shetland, with those going to Unst and Fetlar. Despite being a listed A road, it is single track in some stretches with passing places. The B9081 is single track with passing places. It runs along the south coast of Yell, and up its east, and part of the north east too. The stretch from Mid Yell to Gutcher is replaced by the A968, but it recommences after that. Yell's industries include fishing, fish farming, farming (including commercial strawberry production in polytunnels, mainly for the Shetland market), peat cutting, transport and tourism. Cullivoe had a new deep water harbour built in 1991, but the general decline in fish stocks in the North Sea and North Atlantic has not made it useful to fishing. It may however fulfil a transport role. In January 2008, the Shetland Development Trust gave a loan worth £11,000 to Global Yell Ltd, in order to develop "creative industries", i.e. textile weaving and music. The "world's first community-owned tidal power generator" became operational during April 2014 in Bluemull Sound. The turbine is a 30 kW device by Nova Innovation. North Yell Development Council believed that the project could make a significant contribution to the local economy. Built in 1707, the now ruined stone building of Windhouse is claimed as the most haunted house in Shetland. In 1880, when Windhouse was renovated, skeletons were found under the floor of the building. After lying empty for over 80 years, it was bought in 2003 by an English couple intending to restore it.

Mario Payeras Mario Payeras born in Chimaltenango, Guatemala in 1940. He died in Mexico in 1995. He studied philosophy at the University of San Carlos, in the Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), and the University of Leipzig, Germany . Youth was a member of the Guatemalan Labor Party (Partido Guatemalteco del Trabajo), which provided intellectuals with scholarships to socialist countries. In Cuba. Payeras was part of the ranks of the Guerrilla Army of the Poor (Ejército Guerrillero de los Pobres or EGP) in 1968, as one of its founders and a member of its Dirección Nacional. Payeras was the ideologist of EGP's military-political strategy. Payeras was part of the first contingent that forms the original focus of the EGP in the jungles of Ixcan where he wrote his first novel about "Los Días de la Selva" (The Days of the Jungle). After the military offensive of the dictatorial regime in 1981–82, he contemplated the military defeat of the rebellion in his work "Los fusiles de Octubre" (October Rifles) and "El Trueno en la Ciudad" (Thunder in the City). The work argues for a change in strategy of revolutionary struggle but it was rejected by EGP. As a result Payeras broke away from the organization in 1984 citing ethical, political and ideological differences. Along with a prominent contingent of cadres that followed him, he formed a new armed revolutionary organization called Octubre Revolucionario (Revolutionary October). Abandoned years later by several of his followers, Payeras died in hiding in Mexico City. His remains were buried in a remote cemetery in southeastern Mexico along with the legendary guerrilla leader Marco Antonio Yon Sosa and an Achi indigenous guerrilla leader. A few years after, the remains of Payeras were stolen by criminals and have since disappeared. He is remembered as a writer to win the Casa de las Americas Prize for his play The Days of the Jungle (1981).

Carlos Slim, the richest man in Mexico and one of the richest in the world, has a personal fortune equal to 4 to 6 percent of the country's GDP. In spite of efforts by government officials during the past three administrations; transition to globalization, the NAFTA agreement; Mexico has been unable to create efficient public policies in order to compensate for the distortion of its market and the poor distribution of national income. The absence of basic agreements among Mexico's main political parties for more than ten years has caused a serious backwardness in needed legislation in a number of areas. The current economic framework needs adjustment on virtually all levels including business development opportunities, fair competition, tax collection and tax law; commerce, trade and finance regulations. The Mexican economy does not support unprivileged businesses, considering its current standards regarding monopolies, both in the public and private sectors. By law, there are public monopolies: government-owned companies controlling oil and gas, electricity, water, etc. Private sector monopolies and duopolies are found in the media, television, telecommunications, and raw materials. For this reason, clear principles of competitiveness that offer incentives to private investment, both national and foreign, are needed in order for jobs to be created. Mexico's rampant poverty, lagged social development and general public welfare is strongly tied to its politics. Historically, the political system of Mexico has not favored the general population, mainly because it focused to become and be a single-party system of government, largely dubbed "institutionalized" where those in charge had a one-voice, unquestionable plan of action mainly focused to favor the few "elite" while ignoring the welfare of the rest of population. From the 1800s to the end of the 20th century, as presidential administration came and went, the forms of government has been described as authoritarian, semi-democracy, centralized government, untouchable presidencies, mass-controlling, corporatist and elite-controlled. As each administration took turn, some changes have occurred, sometimes as to contribute to the welfare of the least fortunate but, overall, the political framework behind the economic and social structure of the country continues to be the greatest contributor to inequality. While the NAFTA agreement proved effective in increasing Mexico's economic performance, foreign trade policies have been heavily criticized by activists such as Michael Moore (in Awful Truth) as not doing enough to promote social advancement and reducing poverty. To remain competitive in the international market, Mexico has had to offer low wages to its workers while allowing high returns and generous concessions to international corporations.

Tory claims that at Kennedy station a rider would get to Union Station in less than 30 minutes using SmartTrack’s service instead of 40 minutes along TTC's Line 2 and Line 1 subways. SmartTrack is also the latest proposal to bring rapid transit along Eglinton West to Pearson International Airport after the Eglinton West Subway was cancelled. By connecting to the Eglinton line at Mount Dennis there would be rapid transportation along Eglinton from Pearson International Airport to Kennedy Road. Tory estimated the cost of SmartTrack to be $8 billion, although no detailed studies were undertaken. As proposed by Tory, Toronto's share would be paid for by using tax increment financing. It was expected that the provincial and federal government would each contribute a third of the cost. Mississauga and Markham would also pay their 1/3 share for their portions of the SmartTrack Line, although they made no commitments. SmartTrack would likely lead to an overhaul of TTC bus routes. Residents of Etobicoke and Scarborough would take an express bus to their closest SmartTrack station instead of the distant terminuses of Line 1 and 2. By diverting these passengers SmartTrack would also benefit North York commuters on the current overcapacity feeder bus routes to the Line 1 subway. There has been an ongoing discussion as to economic benefits of Toronto's different rapid transit choices. According to Tess Kalinowski, writing in the "Toronto Star", a study co-authored by Andre Sorensen, a University of Toronto professor of Human Geography, SmartTrack's route would average 12 hectares per kilometre available for redevelopment. This was slightly more than the 11.1 hectares per kilometre available if the TTC's heavy rail system were extended from Kennedy station to Sheppard. But it was less than the 18.4 hectares per kilometre available on the Sheppard East LRT. A controversial part of Tory’s SmartTrack proposal during the election campaign was the Eglinton spur, from Mount Dennis to the Airport Corporate Centre in Mississauga. During the election campaign, Tory promised it would not require tunnelling, then acknowledged under pressure that it might. (Tory and his campaign staff had planned to use the former Richview Expressway corridor to run commuter trains westwards from Mount Dennis. However, that land was no longer available having been sold off for private development. Also the Tory team underestimated the technical difficulties of the large turning circle that heavy rail vehicles would require at Mount Dennis. This forced the need for much more expensive tunnel and elevated sections.)
About 15.3% of families and 19.0% of the population were below the poverty line, including 18.1% of those under age 18 and 19.5% of those age 65 or over. Within the town, many smaller localized communities have evolved. All had their own businesses/industries. The primary industry of the original Scottish settlers was sheep farming and supporting entities which evolved into today's modern dairy farming. As major roads permeated the area, a secondary travel and vacation industry sprang up which provided extensive vacation/recreational rental properties on both Black Lake and the St Lawrence River. Business and industries included in the townships history have included, glass factories, asheries, tanneries, restaurants, gas stations, auto repair, 2 post offices, a lumber yard, a bowling alley, a bank, a library, a phone company, cottage rentals, boat/motor/general marine services, barber shops, antiques, saw mills, blacksmiths, a farm store, general stores, stone quarries, milk processing plants, cheese factories, coal storage cribs/coal sale and delivery etc. A railroad spur line passed through the western side of the Village of Hammond and was in limited use until the early-mid-1960s. The original railroad depot is still standing in the same spot. Many of the original stone quarries are still identifiable. A stone quarry on Oak Island in Chippewa Bay supplied stone to build Boldt Castle. It even had its own railway to move cut stone to the boats used to transport the stone. A stone quarry that was once located in South Hammond on Route 37 supplied sandstone to make local roads. This quarry at one time employed approximately 600 men. The Town of Hammond Museum, formed by R.T. Elethorp Historical Society, saved an original quarry building from the South Hammond quarry and moved it to the current museum property. The remnants of where many of the old forgotten business once stood can still be seen today. The Village of Hammond also has a mason's lodge, a retirement home, several churches and a town museum (previously mentioned).

A typical day-to-day traditional vegetarian meal of Uttar Pradesh, like any other North Indian thali, consists of roti (flatbread), chawal, dal, sabji, raita and papad. On festive occasions, usually 'tava' (flat pan for roti) is considered inauspicious, and instead fried foods are consumed. A typical festive thali consists of Puri, Kachauri, sabji, pulav, papad, raita, salad and desserts (such as sewai or Kheer). Lassi (yogurt-based) and chaach (traditional buttermilk) are most favoured drink in Uttar Pradesh. Many communities have their own particular style of cuisines, such as the Jains, Kayasths and Muslims. There are also certain sub-regional delicacies. Awadhi cuisine is world-famous for dishes such as kebab, biryani, keema and nihari. Sweets occupy an important place in the Hindu diet and are eaten at social ceremonies. People make distinctive sweetmeats from milk products, including khurchan, peda, gulabjamun, petha, makkhan malai, and chamcham. The chaat in Lucknow and Banarasi Paan is known across India for its flavour and ingredients. Awadhi cuisine is from the city of Lucknow. The cuisine consists of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. Awadh has been greatly influenced by Mughal cooking techniques, and the cuisine of Lucknow bears similarities to those of Central Asia, Kashmir, Punjab and Hyderabad; and the city is known for Nawabi foods. The bawarchis and rakabdars of Awadh gave birth to the dum style of cooking or the art of cooking over a slow fire, which has become synonymous with Lucknow today. Their spread consisted of elaborate dishes like kebabs ("shish kebab" or "shashlik"), kormas, biryani, kaliya, nahari-kulchas, zarda, sheermal, roomali rotis, and warqi parathas.

A few months later he received a commission in the New Zealand Staff Corps as a major. In 1920, Puttick was appointed commander of the Fiji Expeditionary Force, which had been raised following a request from the Fijian government for military forces to support local police dealing with striking labourers and farmers. The force, numbering about 55 men, was based in Fiji for two months before returning home. He then served in a number of staff positions. He was sent to England for attachment to the War Office and the same year attended the Imperial Defence College in 1937, with the rank of colonel. He was also one of New Zealand's representatives at the coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth in Westminster Abbey. In 1938 he was appointed as Adjutant General of the New Zealand Military Forces as well as a second term as Quartermaster General, having previously served in this capacity from 1934 to 1936. Puttick was commanding the Central Military District when the Second World War broke out and, as a skilled administrator, played a key role in the raising of the Second New Zealand Expeditionary Force (2NZEF) for service overseas. The 4th Infantry Brigade with Puttick, promoted to temporary brigadier, as its commander was to be the first brigade of the newly formed 2nd New Zealand Division, under the overall command of Major General Bernard Freyberg. The brigade duly departed for the Middle East in January 1940. Puttick oversaw the training of the brigade once it settled in its base in Egypt. In June 1940, Freyberg travelled to England to where the second infantry brigade of the division had been shipped. In his absence, Puttick was temporary commander of the New Zealand forces in Egypt. Anticipating a German invasion of Greece, the division was one of the Allied units transferred to that country. Arriving in April 1941, he led the brigade competently during the Battle of Greece as it retreated from the Aliakmon Line in northern Greece to the Servia Pass and onto the beaches at Porto Rafti from where it was evacuated on 27 April to Crete. He was later awarded a Bar to his DSO for his "gallantry and devotion to duty" during this period. On Crete, Puttick was promoted to temporary major general and, following Freyberg's appointment as the commander of Creforce, took over responsibility for the 2nd New Zealand Division. During the Battle of Crete his failure to pressure James Hargest, one of his brigade commanders, to make a counterattack to support the defenders of Maleme airfield resulted in its eventual loss to the Germans.
Ekbalpore triple murder Ekbalpore triple murder was the gruesome murder of a widow and her two teenage daughters which took place in Kolkata, India in March 2014. According to Kolkata police the two daughters were strangulated after being hit by hammer and their mother was strangulated. Then their bodies were buried under the shop owned by accused which led the mysterious disappearance of the family. The victim's family accused the police of harassment as they had mentioned the prime accused Sikandar as their suspect. The police claimed Pushpa ran away with her lover. After two weeks police found, Pushpa Singh, 37, and her daughters Pradipti Singh, 14, and Aradhana, 12, were murdered and buried in the shop of prime accused Sikandar on 30 March. The residents protested outside court with black flags. The local police were accused of going soft on prime accused Sikandar though he was named by the victims' kin. At first the case looked like disappearance. The accused bought cement, bricks, sand and stone chips on 2 April for cementing the floor after digging it up to bury the bodies of the widow and her two daughters. Investigators found they were murdered for flats. The case resulted in political blamegame as the accused men had relations with local politician and one of them had the support of a political party. The opposition party and minority organization led a candle light march for the victims.
They weigh between and are sexually dimorphic as the males are substantially larger than females. The average gestation period is 42 days and females may have two or three litters each year. The litter size is usually between three and seven kits which are weaned after three to six weeks and become independent at three months. They become sexually mature at approximately six months and the average life span is seven to 10 years. Ferrets are induced ovulators. Ferrets spend 14–18 hours a day asleep and are most active around the hours of dawn and dusk, meaning they are crepuscular If they are caged, they should be taken out daily to exercise and satisfy their curiosity; they need at least an hour and a place to play. Unlike their polecat ancestors, which are solitary animals, most ferrets will live happily in social groups. They are territorial, like to burrow, and prefer to sleep in an enclosed area. Like many other mustelids, ferrets have scent glands near their anus, the secretions from which are used in scent marking. Ferrets can recognize individuals from these anal gland secretions, as well as the sex of unfamiliar individuals. Ferrets may also use urine marking for sex and individual recognition. As with skunks, ferrets can release their anal gland secretions when startled or scared, but the smell is much less potent and dissipates rapidly. Most pet ferrets in the US are sold descented (anal glands removed). In many other parts of the world, including the UK and other European countries, de-scenting is considered an unnecessary mutilation. If excited, they may perform a behavior called the "weasel war dance", characterized by frenzied sideways hops, leaps and bumping into nearby objects. Despite its common name, it is not aggressive but is a joyful invitation to play. It is often accompanied by a unique soft clucking noise, commonly referred to as "dooking". When scared, ferrets will hiss; when upset, they squeak softly. Ferrets are obligate carnivores. The natural diet of their wild ancestors consisted of whole small prey, including meat, organs, bones, skin, feathers, and fur. Ferrets have short digestive systems and quick metabolism, so they need to eat frequently. Prepared dry foods consisting almost entirely of meat (including high-grade cat food, although specialized ferret food is increasingly available and preferable) provide the most nutritional value and are the most convenient, though some ferret owners feed pre-killed or live prey (such as mice and rabbits) to their ferrets to more closely mimic their natural diet.
