The friggitoria ("fryer" in Italian, plural friggitorie) is a shop that sells fried foods. They are found throughout Italy. Friggitorie are common in Naples, especially in the historic center, where you can buy fried foods including pastacresciute (savory zeppole), scagliozzi (fried polenta) and sciurilli (fried zucchini blossoms), fried eggplant and Crocchè (potato fritters). Outside of Naples, the friggitorie are also widespread in other areas. In Liguria, these shops were formerly common in the Sottoripa area in front of the port of Genoa, though a few still remain and in Palermo, where friggatore, sometimes street vendors, prepare dishes like panelle.

Königstedt Manor ( or ) is a historic manor house in Riipilä in the municipality of Vantaa, Finland, close to Helsinki. The mansion is located at the bank of the Vantaa river. Currently, it is used as a state guest house by the Finnish Government. It regularly serves as a venue for various meetings, negotiations and receptions. History The manor is first mentioned in 1511, when Olav Nilsson, the governor of Helsinki is the owner. Under captain Johan Köhn, who was raised to nobility under the name of Köhnningstedt, the mansion received its name. Counsellor of State Jacob Wilhem Hisinger constructed the present house in 1816. According tradition Carl Ludvig Engel is the architect, although some presume it is his assistant Pehr Granstedt who did the design. In the 20th century there were many owners such as Robert Mattson, Colonel Mikael Gripenberg, and Baron Gustaf Wrede. The Finnish Government purchased the manor from Baroness Asta Wrede in 1961. The Aceh peace talks between the Free Aceh Movement and the Indonesian Government, hosted by Finnish President Martti Ahtisaari were held at the manor in 2005. Meetings between North Korean, South Korean and American delegations took place at the mansion in 2018 as preparation for the 2018 North Korea–United States summit. Architecture and design The exterior of the manor is designed in neoclassical style and received its yellow/ white colours in 1825. The interior is in Empire style and is coloured in grey scales combined with stronger tones. The main rooms are the Entrance Hall, the Library, Dining Room, Yellow Reception Room, Green Salon and Blue Coffee salon. The furniture is a mix of Empire, Gustavian style and neo-rococo. The manor has been repaired various times. During the first restoration, a veranda with Ionic columns was added to the mansion. Further restorations were in the 1930s, when the columns facing the garden were erected, the 1950s when central heating was included and in 1997. The house is surrounded by a park. The estate surrounding the manor covers 35 hectares, primarily used for farming and horse and livestock raising. In addition, there is an apple orchard, a site of glassworks and a chapel.

a kidnapping series together. When Dvorak wanted to back out, Dostal shot him and blew up his body, hiding his clothes and bones to make identification impossible and making the investigation more difficult. Dostal's father Robert, who was also involved in the crime, traveled to Switzerland after his son's escape and then to Lüneberg in Germany, where he also committed suicide by shooting himself in a hotel room. Officer Ottokar Pücher, who was injured in the Rennweger barracks by Dostal with a shot to the neck, remained paralyzed from his neck down until his death in 2010.

divided into two partitions called privileged and unprivileged partitions. The privileged partition can be defined as a protected partition. If content is highly popular, it is pushed into the privileged partition. Replacement of the privileged partition is done as follows: LFRU evicts content from the unprivileged partition, pushes content from privileged partition to unprivileged partition, and finally inserts new content into the privileged partition. In the above procedure the LRU is used for the privileged partition and an approximated LFU (ALFU) scheme is used for the unprivileged partition, hence the abbreviation LFRU. The basic idea is to filter out the locally popular contents with ALFU scheme and push the popular contents to one of the privileged partition.

(Magnolia grandiflora) are suffering due to too much paving close to their roots, reducing air and water supply. The pines have started to drop limbs. The site is zoned "Special Uses - School". Modifications and dates 1909: The western half of the estate was sold and a new street, appropriately called Edward Street, came into being 1942: Construction of a very sturdy domestic air raid shelter (on a then-private, adjacent garden "Alwyn" (16 Loftus Street. This garden was well-documented in photographs taken by local amateur photographer, Alan Evans). It is likely that this shelter has been buried and covered over and is now part of Cairnsfoot Special School. The school secretary remembers it being used as a wine cellar in the 1970s prior to the demolition of the accompanying bungalow (Matthew Stephens, HHT, pers.comm, 26/6/09 - copies of the photographs are held in HHT's Caroline Simpson Library & Research Centre). 1955-9 Prior to the building being opened as the Loftus Street Special School the original cast iron was removed and the upstairs verandahs were enclosed. In more recent times the whole complex has been upgraded and sympathetically refurbished by the Public Works Department. This has included the replacement of the cast-iron work and restoration of its original name, Cairnsfoot''. The house is now the administrative block of the school with new buildings which have been added to cater for 99 handicapped children, aged from four to 18 years. the new section of Cairnsfoot School was designed by Sydney architect Olga Kosterin, with as its focal point: an assembly hall, which serves also as a classroom for art, music and physical education; a Library; a home economics block; a laundry; a bathroom; a fully furnished bedroom; a solar heated pool Heritage listing This villa is significant as a rare example of a substantial Victorian Italianate villa, which retains its original outbuildings and garden setting of mature trees and which shows the development of large villas on the urban fringe of Rockdale. Substantial grounds with many large trees. Cairnsfoot Special School was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.

Christopher H. van Dyck (born 25 August 1955), is the Founder and Director of the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Unit (ADRU) at Yale University School of Medicine, where he is Professor of Psychiatry, Neurology and Neuroscience. His research uses brain imaging to learn about the progression of pathology in Alzheimer's disease, and to test potential new treatments for this disease. van Dyck was born in Wichita, Kansas to Barbara Kroll Dyck, an elementary school teacher, and Walter Dyck, a college art professor. He has two brothers, Peter and Tim van Dyck. His family moved to Vermont in 1957, where he grew up in Johnson and Underhill. He graduated from Burlington High School, where he and his partner won the varsity state debate championship. Alzheimer’s disease research van Dyck created the Yale Alzheimer’s Research Unit in 1992, performing research on Alzheimer’s disease and related cognitive disorders. He has helped to pioneer the use of SPECT and PET imaging to learn about brain alterations related to cognitive and behavioral changes in Alzheimer’s Disease and the aging brain, and to test potential treatments for Alzheimer’s Disease. Using SPECT imaging of the Dopamine transporter, van Dyck’s work has shown that there is loss of dopamine from the aging striatum, and that this is related to a slowing of reaction time, a measure of mental chronometry. van Dyck uses PET imaging to track Alzheimer’s-related pathology, to learn how pathology relates to ApoE genotype, and whether it is diminished by potential treatments. Dr. van Dyck has collaborated with Dr. Richard Carson at the Yale PET Center to test the new PET ligand 11C-UCB-J, which binds to SV2A to provide an assay of presynaptic axon terminals in the human brain. Studies of this ligand in early Alzheimer’s Disease patients have shown a loss of synapses from the perforant path, the connections between the entorhinal cortex and hippocampal formation needed for memory consolidation. van Dyck and the Yale ADRU have tested potential Alzheimer’s therapeutics for over 20 years. They have contributed to the successful development of memantine now in use for the treatment of mid-late stage Alzheimer’s Disease, and assess potential new therapeutic strategies, e.g. antibodies that reduce amyloid pathology such as Crenezumab, and based on the work of Dr. Stephen Strittmatter, an inhibitor of fyn. Dr. van Dyck serves on the Steering Committees of the National Institute on Aging Alzheimer's Disease Cooperative Study (ADCS) and the Alzheimer's Disease

unknown persons. International pressure and Anti-Terrorism Law 16 July – The international community has intensified pressure on the Government of Nicaragua to stop the repression and disarm the paramilitaries after nearly 300 deaths during three months of protests demanding the ouster of President Daniel Ortega. The United States, 13 Latin American countries and the Secretary General of the UN, Antonio Guterres, asked the Executive of Daniel Ortega the end of the repression of the demonstrations that since last 18 April flood the streets of the Central American country. Guterres called for an immediate cessation of violence and dared to point out the responsibility of the president, at least indirectly. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights denounced that the Law on terrorism proposed by President Ortega on April 4 and approved today by the National Assembly of Nicaragua can be used to criminalize peaceful protest. Nueva Guinea takes to the streets to protest against the Government of Nicaragua. The National Police presented two doctors who had participated as volunteers in the seizure of the National Autonomous University of Nicaragua (UNAN-Managua), accusing them of transporting firearms that supposedly had been hidden in the Divine Mercy Church, where more than One hundred people took refuge and were besieged by para-police forces on Friday night and early Saturday morning.The doctors, identified as Irving Escobar, 29, and Blanca Cajina Urbina, 25, were presented Monday at a press conference at the Directorate of Judicial Assistance (DAJ), also known as El Chipote, along with 22 other defendants. of terrorism and other crimes. 17 July – The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Nicaragua raised its "strongest protest" for the "biased declarations" of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, which denounced that the law on terrorism approved by National Assembly can be used to criminalize the protest. Masaya Attack 17 July –There are attacks by Sandinista paramilitary forces and members of the National Police of Nicaragua in the city of Masaya, specifically in the Moninbo neighborhood.

article by Asing Walthaus of the Leeuwarder Courant, historian Han Nijdam noted several historical inaccuracies. He pointed out that the castle in the film and the knights with chainmail armour are from the late middle ages and not from the early middle ages that the film depicts. He also complained that the film portrays the Frysians as barbarians in animal hides living in leaking huts even though it is proven that they lived in wooden houses with woven tapestries on their walls. It was his conclusion that the film puts spectacle over any form of historical accuracy. Awards and nominations The film was selected for the international Look-competition of the Ostend Film Festival. In July 2018, it was one of nine films shortlisted by the EYE film institute to be the Dutch entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 91st Academy Awards, but it was not selected. The film played at the Netherlands Film Festival but was, to the surprise of some major newspapers, not nominated for any Golden Calves. YouTube lawsuit In November 2018, the producers of the film announced that they would be suing YouTube for 200,000 euros because illegal copies of the film were viewed half a million times on the website.

The Taekwondo Federation of India (TFI) is the national governing body for Taekwondo in India on confirmation from World Taekwondo on 9 July 2019. Since there were many disputes from almost a decade among the office bearers of the previous governing body (TFI) Indian Olympic Association and Delhi High Court took the matter in its own hands and formed a committee headed by former Supreme Court judge Nageswara Rao to bring relief to the affected Taekwondo athletes of the whole country. This decision of the committee was welcomed and accepted by the IOA dated 14 November 2022. Jimmy R. Jagtiani was one of the pioneer of taekwondo in India. Jagtiani, who was born in Vietnam in 1955, had emigrated to Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh with his family to escape the Vietnam War. He founded the Taekwondo Federation of India on 2 August 1976, and is regarded as the father of taekwondo in India. The federation marked its first anniversary in 1977 with a demonstration of high power taekwondo techniques at the K.D. Singh Babu Indoor Stadium in Lucknow. The TFI received affiliation from the World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) in 1979, the Asian Taekwondo Union (ATU) in 1982, the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) in 1985, and the South Asian Taekwondo Federation (SATF) in 1994. Taekwondo was included as a discipline for the first at the 1985 National Games in New Delhi. The TFI organized a special taekwondo demonstration by Korean taekwondokas for then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi at the Prime Minister's residence on 17 March 1986. Gandhi was impressed by the demonstration and agreed to "extend all possible help" to the TFI. The Union Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports officially recognized the TFI as the national governing body for taekwondo in 1988. The TFI granted affiliation to the Services Sports Control Board in 1990, the Taekwondo Academy of India in 1990, Army Sports Control Board (ASCB) in 1992, and the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) in 1995. Numerous state/UT taekwondo boards are also affiliated to the TFI.

Willi Kimmritz (June 26, 1912 – July 26, 1950), known as The Horror of the Brandenburg Forest (German: Der Schrecken der brandenburgischen Wälder), was a German serial killer, rapist and burglar who robbed and raped women in the forested areas surrounding Berlin from 1946 to 1948, killing four. He was convicted for 13 rapes and three of the murders, sentenced to death and executed in 1950. Biography Kimmritz was born as the 14th child in a working-class family and attended Volksschule until the seventh grade. After his confirmation, he worked as a farmhand and a coachman in agriculture. His first conviction for rape took place in 1936, where he served three years in Gollnow prison. After his release, he married and had a child. In 1943, he robbed his employer, a wholesaler, and was again sentenced to three years in prison. During his detention, his wife divorced him. In April 1945, Kimmritz and other prisoners in Gollnow were sent away to the West due to the approaching Red Army, where he was finally released. After an interlude as a steward of a supply of the Soviet occupiers, in which he was accused of embezzlement, he first fled to Bad Freienwalde to his mother and then to Berlin, where he lived without a permanent residence mostly around prostitutes. He made his living mainly through robbery and burglary. Between 1946 and 1948 he lured several women to the Brandenburg forest areas north and east of Berlin, where he raped and robbed them, killing four. His actions triggered one of the largest post-war manhunt operations called Aktion Roland. The search for Kimmritz was initially unsuccessful for several years, although several of the surviving victims identified him early in a facial composite. This was mainly because the post-war circumstances (insufficient police forces and investigators, obstruction of the search by the Soviet occupation authorities, jurisdictional disputes between the occupying powers and finally the Berlin Blockade), which made the investigation difficult. On September 11, 1948, Kimmritz was recognised by Else Baethke, a friend of victim Frieda [secondname] whom she last seen dining at a bakery in Wedding in the late summer of 1948. He was later arrested in the French sector, and confessed to the crimes in the subsequent interrogation. He was extradited to the Soviet sector, where he confessed to 45 rapes, 4 murders and numerous property offenses. On February 18, 1949, the trial began

the first time in German criminal and legal history that somebody accused of murder was subjected to the chromosome test. From the report prepared by the Marburg Institute of Human Genetics it emerged that Beck had no probability of a shift from XY to XYY according to the researchers. So he had the normal chromosome combination and could expect no mitigation from the court. On November 4, 1968, Ernst-Dieter Beck was sentenced to three counts of life imprisonment for the three murders, which he served in the Werl Prison until his death in 2018.

Major Chandrakanth is a Tamil-language play written by K. Balachander and staged in the 1960s. It was adapted into a Hindi film titled Oonche Log in 1965, a Tamil namesake film in 1966, a Telugu film titled Sukha Dukhalu in 1968, a Malayalam film titled Karthavyam in 1982, and a Kannada film titled Karune Illada Kanoonu in 1983. Plot Chandrakanth, a morally upright blind major, gives asylum to a man who is a fugitive, having committed murder. The murdered man was Rajinikanth, the lover of the fugitive's sister; he had cheated her on promise of marriage, leading her to commit suicide since she was unable to bear the shame. Chandrakanth's elder son Srikanth, a police officer, is tasked with finding the murderer. It is later revealed that Rajinikanth was Chandrakanth's younger son, and that both Chandrakanth and the fugitive were unaware of each other's identity the whole time. Srikanth arrests the fugitive and his father for having given shelter to a criminal. Cast Major Sundarrajan as Chandrakanth Venky as Srikanth Gokulnath as the fugitive P. R. Govindarajan as Rajinikanth Production When working in the Accountant general's office in Madras (now Chennai), K. Balachander wrote and starred as a blind major in a play titled Courage of Conviction. Since the new Accountant general was a Bengali, Balachander decided the play had to be in English so that the Accountant general would understand it. This was unlike his other plays, which were written in Tamil. He later decided to expand the play into a full-length script for his friend P. R. Govindarajan's troupe Ragini Recreations, this time in Tamil and with the title Major Chandrakanth due to the limited scope for English plays in Madras. In the Tamil play, Sundarrajan portrayed Chandrakanth (he would later be known as Major Sundarrajan for this portrayal) and Venky portrayed his elder son Srikanth (he would later be known as Srikanth for this portrayal). Reception The play was first staged in 1963. It received critical acclaim, and was staged over a hundred times. Adaptations Major Chandrakanth was adapted into a Hindi film titled Oonche Log in 1965, a Tamil namesake film in 1966, a Telugu film titled Sukha Dukhalu in 1968, a Malayalam film titled Karthavyam in 1982, and a Kannada film titled Karune Illada Kanoonu in 1983.

commemorative plaque survived until the erection of another monument. In 1963, a competition for a monument dedicated to the Bloody Sunday's victims was announced. The selected project, by Wacław Kowalik, portrayed the figure of Nike standing on top of a high obelisk, decorated with bas-reliefs. Nike's right, lowered hand, held a naked sword, in her left she raised a bouquet of flowers. The monument was designed to be erected on the Old Market Square in front of the building library. Eventually, Polish 1968 March events pushed the state authorities to revise their view on such a commemoration, and the monument was never created. However, in its place, Bydgoszcz received a monument designed originally to celebrate the heroes of the Warsaw Ghetto, which did never stand in the capital in this time of unrest, Polish United Workers' Party avoiding to celebrate martyrdom, in any forms. In addition, giving this memorial to Bydgoszcz was a way to abide by the will of the inhabitants since 1946, to fill the loss of the bulldozed western frontage (in 1940) on the Old Market Square. In the end, the never-realized Nike's monument only survived on a Polish post stamp issued in 1964, piece of a series on Monuments to Struggle and Martyrdom. The ceremony of unveiling of the former Warsaw ghetto monument was held on 5 September 1969, the 30th anniversary of the occupation of Bydgoszcz by Nazi soldiers, in presence of the chairman of the Council for the Protection of Struggle and Martyrdom Sites (), the minister Janusz Wieczorek, the head of the city council Kazimierz Maludziński, and many representatives of local authorities, political parties, as well as numerous inhabitants. The monument stood at the very place where the public executions took place in September 1939. Around the memorial was set a fence made of 80 large sandstone blocks, on which were engraved all the places of struggle and martyrdom of the population of the Bydgoszcz territory. The author of this sculpture was Franciszek Masiak from Warsaw; Bydgoszcz architect Jerzy Winiecki designed the architectural environment of the place. Besides, the full project planned to build a Museum of Combat and Martyrdom, collecting documents of Nazi crimes, on the area of the former western frontage, in front of the town hall: this scheme was never accomplished. At the beginning of the 1990s, beside the monument, four concrete plinths carrying bronze plates were placed: the first

Tetrathylacium is a genus of two species of shrubs and small trees in the family Salicaceae native to the southern Central America and northern South America. Previously it was treated in the family Flacourtiaceae but was moved along with its close relatives to the Salicaceae based on analyses of DNA data. Tetrathylacium is rather unique in the Samydaceae in having tightly arranged panicles of spikes, four sepals and stamens, and non-arillate seeds. The stems are often inhabited by ants, and T. macrophyllum is suspected to have locust pollination.

On 23 February 1985, a bomb detonated inside a British-owned Marks & Spencer department store on the Boulevard Haussmann in Paris, France, killing one person and wounding 15. The fatal victim was an employee at the store, Léonard Rochas, who died on his way to hospital. It occurred just as the store was opening its doors for business amid many customers waiting to enter. The blast caused heavy material damage. Two Britons were also among the injured. The Marks & Spencer store had previously been attacked in 1976 and 1981, although nobody was hurt in those incidents and only minor damage was caused. Nobody claimed responsibility for those attacks. Perpetrators Several telephone calls claiming responsibility were made, with different callers claiming to represent the Caribbean Revolutionary Alliance (ARC), Action Direct (AD), Abu Nidal Organization (ANO), and an unprecedented group calling itself International Collective Army Against Unemployment. Police however called these claims as not credible enough. The 15 May Organization reportedly also claimed responsibility at the time, and the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) was blamed by the media, but they denied involvement saying that it has never carried out attacks on French territory. In May 1986, police arrested and charged suspects Phillipe Frigerio and Tunisian Habib Maamar in Nancy, the latter of which was reported at the time to be linked to the pro-Iranian Hezbollah group. During court procedures, Maamar reportedly had no political motives but 'accepted' the job of the bomb attack offered by the 15 May Organization, a communist and Palestinian nationalist organisation, lured by profit. Maamar was apparently also the perpetrator of bombing a Marks & Spencer store in London, England, in December 1983 (not related to the Harrods bombing). He was sentenced to 18 years in prison in December 1989. Marks & Spencer was likely targeted as its former chairman Joseph Sieff was a Zionist. Sieff previously survived an assassination attempt by Ilich Ramírez Sánchez ("Carlos the Jackal") from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) in 1973, a group from which the 15 May Organization roots from.

"Breathin" is a song by American singer Ariana Grande and the third, final single from her fourth studio album Sweetener (2018). It was sent to contemporary hit radio stations in the United States on September 18, 2018. Produced by Ilya Salmanzadeh, "Breathin" is a dance-pop song that features synthesizers and an upbeat production incorporating disco and EDM elements. The lyrics discuss how breathing can alleviate panic attacks, based on Grande's experiences with post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of a terrorist bombing that killed 22 people in one of her concerts. Called a highlight of Sweetener by many music critics, "Breathin" was praised for its motivational approach to discussing anxiety. Commercially, the single reached number one in Iceland and Israel and the top forty in twenty-seven additional countries. Two music videos for the song premiered in 2018. The first features Grande's pet piglet walking on a bed, intended as a comedic prelude to the "real" music video. Directed by Hannah Lux Davis, the video in question depicts Grande in a train station as commuters rush past her, representing how people often feel disconnected from their surroundings during panic attacks. Background Ariana Grande released her third studio album Dangerous Woman in 2016 to critical acclaim. It debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 and was the 28th best-selling album of the year, with 900,000 copies sold worldwide. To support the album, Grande embarked on the Dangerous Woman Tour, which ran in 2017 and had four dates scheduled in the United Kingdom. During a concert in the Manchester Arena on May 22, a homemade bomb was detonated in a suicide terrorist attack, killing 22 concert-goers. After the bombing, Grande went through two highly publicized break-ups: one with rapper Mac Miller who died of an accidental overdose months later, and another with comedian Pete Davidson. The Manchester Arena attack left Grande in a state of emotional turmoil, causing her to suffer from frequent symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. Her anxiety began manifesting through physical symptoms; Grande recalled being dizzy and unable to breathe properly once she returned home from tour. Due to her trauma, she took a hiatus from music, or what NME called a "moment of professional and personal stasis". Breaking up with Miller exacerbated her mental health problems. After his death, she frequently spoke in interviews about memories of their relationship. Sweetener, released in 2018, marked Grande's first album

Krkobabić received the twenty-fourth position on the Progressive-led electoral list and was again elected to the assembly when the list won a landslide victory with 188 seats. (His son Stefan Krkobabić was also elected as a PUPS member.) He was promoted to a full cabinet portfolio in October 2020 as Serbia's first minister for rural welfare. Following the appointment, he indicated that one of his priorities would be organizing the transfer of uncultivated state land to young farmers and young experts. In April 2021, he spoke in favour of creating a "green ring" around Belgrade to supply fresh and healthy food products to Belgrade and other Serbian cities. At the same time, he announced a program for allocating empty houses, of which he indicated there were around 150,000 in Serbia. In January 2022, he announced that half a billion dollars would be allocated for the purchase of another five hundred houses. Krkbabić received the thirty-fifth position on the SNS-led list in the 2022 Serbian parliamentary election and was re-elected when the list won a plurality victory with 120 mandates. He resigned his parliamentary mandate on 24 October 2022 after being re-appointed as a member of cabinet.

industrious" and those with more challenging and entrenched behaviours - the "violent and noisy " wards. All the buildings and wards at the hospital were specifically designed to reflect the proportions and style of domestic architecture to ally the impression of being an institution of confinement. The setting in which patients were treated was considered to be of utmost importance and much attention was paid to the planting of both formal gardens and of parklands across the hospital property. Wards were built to take advantage of light and ensure easy access to fresh air. The hospital was planned to be a virtually self sustainable community with patients growing vegetables and fruit and in earlier times tending the dairy and piggery. Like all patients experiencing mental illness, patients at Bloomfield, were committed by law to receive treatment at a metal hospital. In 1900 the classification of those who were able to be committed was expanded to include alcoholics and inebriates with serious behavioural problems. Bloomfield was the first hospital to be licensed to treat these patients. In the 1930s new psychiatric treatments for the mentally ill such as hypnosis, use of bromides, fever therapy, coma therapy and leucotomy were being implemented in the state's hospitals. Bloomfield was well equipped to keep abreast with these new therapies having a purpose built operating theatre included in the schedule of hospital building completed by 1931. Recreational and occupational therapy developed as important forms of treatment at Bloomfield from 1929 and the value of sporting activity was recognised from early on. The first cricket pitch was established near the most northern entrance to the side. During the 1930s this pitch and adjoining area ( in total) was redeveloped as Bloomfield Aerodrome. A second pitch, located on land between t he eastern and western part of the site was developed in 1928. This Cricket Ground became a focal point for patients, staff and visitors over the years. An important addition to the hospital was the construction of two TB Wards in 1934. These Wards were built in response to a decade or more of measures put in place to control the epidemic spread of TB. The Women's TB Ward was located at the eastern end of the Convalescent Section and the Male TB Ward was located at the end of the Male Wards in the western part of the site. Both wards had north-east facing airing

departure. Each of us is free to judge as he sees it the policy which led there. The fact remains that to safeguard the peace, the Western Powers went there. The question, the only question now before us, is whetever peace can actually be found by this route". Writing about the intensified antisemitism in Germany following the Kristallnacht pogrom of 9 November 1938 Coulondre stated: "the treatment inflicted in Germany upon the Jews whom the Nazis intend to extirpate completely like malevolent beasts illuminates the entire distance which separates the Hitlerian conception of the world from the spiritual patrimony of the democratic nations". In 1938, an informal group of four consisting of François-Poncet, Weizsäcker, the British ambassador Sir Nevile Henderson, and the Italian ambassador Baron Bernardo Attolico had come together to work to "manage" Germany's rise to great power status and prevent a war. Unlike François-Poncet, Coulondre chose not to join the group of four. Captain Paul Stehlin, the French air attache to Germany wrote: "Robert Coulondre was very different from his predecessor in physical appearance and seemed friendlier when you first met him. He looked shy with pleasant smiling eyes in a square face and a high, willful forehead. His moral, intellectual qualities and his compassion were of the same stuff as his predecessor." The younger French diplomats tended to view Coulondre as inferior as an ambassador compared to François-Poncet partly because of his dispatches to Paris lacked the same literary quality that François-Poncet's dispatches had and partly because François-Poncet described every possible outcome to a situation whereas Coulondre would limit himself to the one he viewed as the most likely outcome. Likewise, both Charles Corbin, the ambassador in London and Léon Noël, the ambassador in Warsaw were considered to be better diplomats. The French historian Jean-Baptiste Duroselle wrote that Coulondre's mistakes in his dispatches came mostly from using General Henri Antoine Didelet, the French military attaché to Germany, as a source, for Didelet was often misinformed, but Coulondre was highly prescient in his dispatches, for example predicating the fourth partition of Poland in October 1938. As a specialist in economic affairs who closely studied the German economy when he worked as a deputy to René Massigli, Coulondre was unusually well informed about the state of the Nazi economy. Duroselle described Coulondre as a man with "much common sense and a healthy understanding of his German counterparts". Coulondre described

New South Wales for social, cultural or spiritual reasons. Considerable interest is now being expressed by Australians in the convict system as a part of their history. Much research is being undertaken into the part that the convict heritage has had in shaping Australian identity and the development of its liberal and democratic institutions. Convict labour is now understood as an integral part of the economic history of Australia as an immigrant society. The settlement at Port Macquarie was one of a range of convict establishments, the physical remains and documentary records of which are complementary parts of the history of the convict system throughout Australia. The place has potential to yield information that will contribute to an understanding of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales. Government House was an integral part of a planned settlement. The site has the potential to contribute to an understanding of the settlement as a whole and to comparative analyses of its place in relation to other establishments within the convict system. The quality and extent of the archaeological remains of Government House demonstrate a way of life associated with the penal settlement of Port Macquarie and the later development of civilian settlement. The archaeological remains of Government House, together with its associated artifacts have the potential to contribute to an understanding of the working of the settlement at Port Macquarie and the role of the occupants of the house in its administration and general life. Government House is a significant element in the range of buildings constructed for a large-scale penal settlement and has the ability to contribute to an understanding of the totality of the convict system in Australia. As the home of successive Resident Police Magistrates the site has the potential to contribute to an understanding of the development of free settlement at Port Macquarie. Existing structures, archaeological remains and historical documents are complementary sources for the compilation of an authentic account of the penal system in New South Wales and Australia. Archaeological remains are an integral component of this research process. The place possesses uncommon, rare or endangered aspects of the cultural or natural history of New South Wales. Port Macquarie was the only designated place of secondary punishment to be established during the period of the Assignment System in the present State of New South Wales and the first such place to be established in Australia

lyrics are by Priscilla Holbrook with the exception of the arrangement of the first hymn, the classic It Is Well with My Soul, by Chad Stoffel. Reviews The New Yorker "Dodging prurience and judgment, the piece, dotted with brief songs by Priscilla Holbrook, is a deceptively gentle look at redemption, faith (a local pastor emerges as a charismatic character), and what makes a community. Discomfort slowly seeps in as you find yourself sympathizing with some of the men, just as you remember that these seemingly nice guys were described as proficient liars. Under its plain exterior—the stage is nearly bare, the tone willfully low-key—the play is a heartbreaking, complicated portrait of people adrift." Gay & Lesbian Review "The absent narrator of America is Hard to See fills in as the public’s moral compass, one exposed as glaringly bankrupt.... Is this drama or investigative journalism, entertainment or 'fake news'? And how can anyone tell the difference? The audience cannot walk away from this piece without feeling incredibly uncomfortable and morally compromised." Theatermania "We leave not with the pleasantly dry feeling of having our minds made up, but of being awash in doubt: Should justice be more about punishment or reform? Can we call ourselves a free country when people who have served their time are marked forever with a scarlet letter? Are there crimes which are so abhorrent that reform is impossible?... Hands down, the bravest show currently playing in New York". New York Times "America Is Hard to See... arrives at an awkward time to ask for sympathy for these men: a moment when the culture is talking avidly about sexual predation and the damage it leaves behind. But this play, an investigation of transgression, redemption and the limits of compassion, takes a hard, uncomfortable look at forgiveness and what it means to put it into action.... The room was so pin-drop quiet that you could hear the electric hum of the lights". The Making of America is Hard to See Fieldwork in Pahokee Travis Russ said that informing his decision to research communities of sex offenders as a topic was the short story "Hands" by Sherwood Anderson.

they performed together in Faust by Charles Gounod, both still using Ismaël's name. Her former husband sued her at the civil court of Toulouse; he refused to let Cœuriot continue to perform under this name, believing that his position was lawful because of their divorce. At court, Cœuriot won a definitive right to perform as "Madam Ismaël", which had been her stage name since 1852. Garcin, the second wife, would then be called "Ismaël-Garcin". In 1887, Cœuriot joined the Vlaamse Opera, where she would perform at least until 1888. In 1886, she performed La petite Fadette at the Théâtre du Château-d'Eau and at the Opéra-Populaire in 1887. On 26 June 1889, the pension granted to Cœuriot by an association of dramatic artists was closed during a general meeting of the association. This could be considered as a sign that she had retired. In 1892, one Madame Ismaël living on Châtillon Avenue in Paris "pulled" her pocketbook. Her death certificate was issued 17 April 1893. She had lived in Colombes, France, at 232 Victor Hugo Road, apparently in the company of another lyric artist, 54-year old Pascal Masson. She left no known living descendants.

She dies shortly after giving birth, protecting her baby from a horde of zombies. She is given mercy by Warren at the request of Murphy. Donald Corren as Dr. Walter Kurian (seasons 1–2) Dr. Walter Kurian, the main antagonist of season 1, is first encountered in episode 13, "Doctor of the Dead". Kurian is revealed to be responsible for the virus known as HZN1, which caused the zombie apocalypse. Working at a lab in Fort Collins, Colorado and using samples he gathered from Krokodil addicts in New York, Ebola camps in Africa, abandoned bioweapons in Kazakhstan, and brain matter from a man in Haiti, he created the "Red Death" virus, meant for use in biological warfare. The virus escaped the lab by infecting a lab technician named Brandon Doyle. From there it spread, and in the resulting chaos, Kurian fled and went underground. The right side of his face appears scarred from the nuclear blast in the season 2 premiere.

August Reve d'Or defeated Maize "in a canter" to win the Yorkshire Oaks at odds of 1/4. At the same meeting she was matched against the five-year-old mare Merry Duchess (winner of the City and Suburban Handicap) in the Queen's Plate over two miles. Exiting the paddock she reared up, throwing Wood from the saddle and breaking her bridle, thereby causing a considerable delay. When the race eventually began she quickly opened up a clear lead and won "easily" by a length. At Doncaster Racecourse in September she was beaten by a head by Porcelain in the Park Hill Stakes. At the end of the month she returned to winning form by taking the Great Foal Stakes at Newmarket, and went on to win the Newmarket Oaks in October. In the Cambridgeshire Handicap she again threw off her jockey on the way to the start before finishing tenth behind Gloriation. Reve d'Or won at least two other races in 1887 to end the year with winnings of £10,559. 1888–1891: later career At Manchester Racecourse on 25 May 1988 Reve d'Or finished unplaced under top weight of 120 pounds in the fourteen furlong Manchester Cup. She started 2/1 favourite in her second attempt to win the Ascot Gold Cup on 14 June but came home at the rear of the five-runner field behind Timothy. On 9 October at Newmarket she finished unplaced under 121 pounds in the Cesarewitch. Two weeks later she ran unplaced in the Cambridgeshire but in the Jockey Club Cup at the same meeting she won the Jockey Club Cup at odds of 1/2, beating her only rival Cotillon by half a length. In 1889, Reve d'Or began her fourth season by again finishing unplaced in the Manchester Cup, run that year on 14 June. In November she finished second to Philomel in the Autumn Cup at Liverpool. On 23 April 1890, Reve d'Or, by now a six-year-old, was assigned a weight of 111 pounds in the City and Suburban Handicap at Epsom. Ridden by Mornington Cannon she hampered several of her opponents when veering to the right in the closing stages but prevailed by a neck from French-bred Vasistas. The racecourse stewards held an enquiry but allowed the result to stand. In May she was unplaced for a third time in the Manchester Cup, with the race being won by L'Abbesse de Jouarre.

circulating hepatic protein levels. However, at higher doses, transdermal estradiol has been associated with a significantly higher incidence of stroke in postmenopausal women, probably due to blood clots. Another larger study did not find a significantly higher risk of blood clots with similar doses of transdermal estradiol however. Transdermal patches Estradiol patches have an extended duration and are available for twice-weekly (3–4-day) and once-weekly (7-day) application, while gels, emulsions, and sprays are administered daily. There are two types of estradiol patches: reservoir patches, which have been described as first-generation patches, and matrix patches, which are considered to be improved second-generation patches. Reservoir patches were designed for twice-weekly application, while matrix patches have been produced for both twice-weekly and once-weekly application. Reservoir patches of estradiol (e.g., Estraderm) are mostly no longer used, with most estradiol patches available today being matrix patches (e.g., Alora, Climara, Esclim, Estradot, FemPatch, Menostar, Oesclim, Vivelle, and Vivelle-Dot). A dosage of 1 mg/day oral estradiol is considered to be roughly equivalent to 25 or 50 µg/day transdermal estradiol and a dosage of 2 mg/day oral estradiol is considered to be equivalent to 50 or 100 µg/day transdermal estradiol depending on the source. Estradiol patches delivering a daily dosage of 0.05 mg (50 µg) achieve mean estradiol and estrone levels of 30 to 65 pg/mL and 40 to 45 pg/mL, respectively, while a daily dosage of 0.1 mg (100 µg) attains respective mean levels of 50 to 90 pg/mL and 30 to 65 pg/mL of estradiol and estrone. In general, Climara-type estradiol transdermal patches have an approximate 1:1 ratio of estradiol delivered in μg/day relative to circulating estradiol concentration in pg/mL. In other words, a 100 μg/day Climara estradiol patch may be expected to produce circulating estradiol levels of around 100 pg/mL. Transdermal estradiol patches produce an estradiol to estrone ratio of about 1:1. Following removal of an estradiol patch, circulating estradiol levels decrease to baseline within 24 hours. Typical dosages of estradiol patches are intended to provide the minimum amount of estrogen replacement necessary for the effective alleviation of menopausal symptoms, and for this reason, they achieve relatively low levels of estradiol. A dosage of two to six 100 µg/day transdermal estradiol patches can achieve mean levels of estradiol in the area of 200 to 400 pg/mL and can be used as a form of high-dose estrogen therapy, for instance to suppress testosterone levels in the treatment

Wollongong Harbour Precinct is a heritage-listed shipping harbour at Cliff Road and Endeavour Drive, in Wollongong, New South Wales, Australia. It was built in 1837. The historic precinct includes Belmore Basin, Government Dam, Government Basin, Stockade Point, Flagstaff Hill, Signal Hill, Brighton Beach, Boat Harbour and Fortress Hill. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 5 May 2010. History Pre-European Prior to European occupation of the Illawarra, Wollongong Harbour and coastline was used by the Dharawal people as a natural harbour and sheltered area for all manner of cultural and ceremonial activities for more than 20,000 years and possibly as many as 40,000 years. The natural bay was protected from direct ocean currents and south-easterly winds by the sand dunes and Flagstaff Hill. Smiths Creek provided fresh water and there was an abundance of food from the combined marine and riparian environment. Archaeological evidence of this extended occupation by the Aboriginal people is found in extensive middens in the area. European settlement European occupation dates from 1815 when Dr. Charles Throsby and his stockman herded cattle from Glenfield via Appin and down the escarpment at Bulli and established grazing grounds near the present Harbour. John Oxley surveyed the area in 1816 and land grantees were allowed to make selections in that year. From the 1820s, the area now known as Brighton Beach was used as the shipping point for the newly settled area. Vessels would stand off from the beach and shipments of supplies and produce and timber destined for the Sydney market would be transferred by small flat bottomed boats or floated out. In 1829, the regiment that had been stationed at Red Point, south of the present day Port Kembla, was relocated to the Boat Harbour at Brighton Beach together with the convicts under their command. The construction of government buildings, barracks to accommodate the soldiers, a residence for the commandant and a stockade for the convicts adjacent to the harbour marks the establishment of this area as the main commercial, judicial and administrative centre for Wollongong. Following a visit to the Illawarra in April 1834,Governor Bourke proclaimed the town of Wollongong as surveyed by the Surveyor General of New South Wales Major Thomas Mitchell. Proposal and building of harbour The 1835 Mitchell plan proposed the construction of a harbour for the protection of the small boats that provisioned the garrison. Mitchell proposed

The Beijing X3 or previously the Senova X35 is a subcompact crossover positioned above the smaller Senova X25 Subcompact crossover produced by BAIC Motor under the Senova sub-brand and later the Beijing sub-brand. First generation (2016-2018) Debuting on the 2016 Beijing Auto Show in China, the pricing of the X35 was estimated to start around 70,000 yuan to 90,000 yuan, positioning the crossover under the compact Senova X55 CUV. The Senova X35 is powered by a 1.5 liter petrol engine producing 116 hp and 148 nm powering the front wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox or a four-speed automatic gearbox. A 1.5 liter turbo engine mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox was added to the line-up later. Second generation (2019–present) The second generation Senova X35 was unveiled in April 2019 during the 2019 Shanghai Auto Show with the Chinese name "Zhida" (智达).

the South Tyrolean square. Manhunt and double murder Immediately after the incident, the Dostals' house in Tullnerbach, their farm near Ober-Grafendorf and a rented apartment in Vienna were searched, whereby the gendarmes found a substantial collection of weapons. On the farm, the officers also found a soundproof torture chamber with stretched beds and necklaces next to a wooden human figure which was shot on, with targets and mountains of empty shell casings. Even Robert Dostal, Ernst's father, had submerged before the killing spree and was now sought by arrest warrant. On Sunday morning Ernst Dostal shot the couple Viktor (45) and Johanna Steiger (43) in the weekend house in Sachsengang, where he was observed by a neighbour. The police assumed that Dostal had already broken into the couple's weekend home from Vienna-Döbling on Saturday and stayed there overnight. On Monday morning, a coordination center was set up in the Interior Ministry of Vienna, in which all information about Dostal was collected. A radio journal service, which could receive 200 radio conversations with all the individual patrol cars at the same time, evaluated the messages and directed emergency vehicles to the locations. The Federal Army provided special maps of Lower Austria, on which the security authorities could locate and track every possible escape route. Later that same day, the "Suburban Line Action" was set in motion; safety chains were set up on all the entry and exit roads from Vienna to Lower Austria and vice versa, and every vehicle was inspected. Traffic control stations were also located in the surrounding districts of Vienna. Dostal's crimes had triggered the largest manhunt in the history of the Second Republic. Suicide The attempt to contact his father with an encrypted newspaper advertisement revealed his whereabouts: '1919, Monday waited in vain on the tower for you, I will try Wednesday and Thursday at 10 o'clock again. Am currently on 02774/326 reach." Since 1919 is the year of birth's Dostal's father and the homeowner of the associated phone number stated that he had not give up the ad, special units surrounded the Altlengbach property on Tuesday and stormed it using tear gas. Although the property was deserted, Dostal's escape car was in the garage. Dostal himself, however, was shortly observed leaving a nearby property. After a short firefight, he committed suicide by shooting himself in the head. Subsequent investigations revealed that Dvorak and Dostal were planning

was utilized to achieve the wide scope of the film; Furmanski explained the Master Anamorphics were "the perfect choice: a big look, great contrast and color rendition, lovely depth and separation, and clean and sharp across the frame." To avoid making the set overheated and claustrophobic, lights were kept out of the room or rigged overhead. Furmanski also noted that most shots used visual effects. He said that the scene where the boys paintball-fight with grown-ups was shot in one take. The "biggest" and most challenging scene Furmanski shot was the scene of the boys running across the highway, utilizing multiple units and taking over five days to achieve: three days of filming and two days of stunt and visual effects. It was shot at a makeshift 300-foot highway on an unused airport runway; the crew were not able to film at a real highway due to active traffic. He credited first assistant director (AD) Dan Miller and key grip Marc Nolet for achieving the scene. According to Furmanski, Nolet "drilled small washers into the tarmac for every camera position and we took copious notes so we could go back if necessary, or second unit could come in and replicate something." Release The film had its world premiere at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas. on March 11, 2019. Good Boys was theatrically released on August 16, 2019 by Universal Pictures, and became generally available on December 13, 2019. Home media Good Boys was released on Digital HD on October 29, 2019 and on DVD and Blu-ray on November 12, 2019. Reception Box office Good Boys grossed $83.1 million in the United States and Canada, and $28 million in other countries, for a worldwide total of $111.2 million. Deadline Hollywood calculated the net profit of the film to be $39million, when factoring together all expenses and revenues. In the United States and Canada, Good Boys was projected to gross $12–15 million from 3,204 theaters in its opening weekend. It made $8.3 million on its first day, including $2.1 million from Thursday night previews. It overperformed and went on to debut to $21 million, becoming the first R-rated comedy since The Boss for three years to finish first at the box office. The film made $11.6 million in its second weekend and $9.5 million in its third, finishing second behind Angel Has Fallen both times. Critical response On Rotten Tomatoes, the

field before making a forward move on the outside two furlongs from the finish. The final furlong saw a three way struggle between Rip Van Winkle on the rail, Poet's Voice on the outside and the 40/1 outsider Red Jazz between horses, resulting in a photo finish. Poet's Voice was adjudged to have won by a nose from Rip Van Winkle, with Red Jazz half a length away in third. After the race Dettori said "The horse was in tremendous form coming into the race, and it means so much to win these big races for Godolphin at Ascot, which is a special course for me. Saeed was confident he would run great. I thought we had a few pounds to find on form, but Saeed was right". On his final appearance of the year he was moved up in distance for the Champion Stakes over ten furlongs at Newmarket on 16 October but made little impression and came home ninth of the ten runners behind Twice Over. In the 2010 World Thoroughbred Rankings Poet's Voice was given a rating of 122, making him the 23rd best racehorse in the world. 2011: four-year-old season In the winter of 2010/11 Poet's Voice was sent to Godolphin's training base in Dubai. On his first run of the year he was narrowly beaten by Wigmore Hall in the Jebel Hatta on turf at Meydan Racecourse on 3 March, with Presvis in third. Later that month he was switched to the synthetic Tapeta surface at the same venue for the Dubai World Cup but came home last of the fourteen runners, more than 20 lengths behind the winner Victoire Pisa. After a lengthy break, Poet's Voice returned to the track in August when he attempted to repeat his 2010 success in the Celebration Mile. He started favourite but after biting one of his opponents during the race he finished last of seven in a race won by Dubawi Gold. In his two other starts that year he finished third to Ransom Note in the Joel Stakes at Newmarket in September and sixth to Frankel in the Queen Elizabeth II Stakes on the 15th of October.

In a confused action, the Tribal-class destroyer was torpedoed and badly damaged, having her bow blown off, while and were damaged by German gunfire, with the German ships escaping with little damage. Lawfords division, which had sortied from Dover on hearing reports of German activity in the straits, encountered Nubian which was disabled and firing distress flares, and Lark took Nubian under a stern-first tow. Bad weather caused the tow line to break, however, and Nubian ran aground under the South Foreland. 1917–1918 Early in 1917, the 9th Destroyer Flotilla was split up, with the newer destroyers joining the 10th Destroyer Flotilla, and the L-class ships being dispersed to different units. Lark joined the 6th Destroyer Flotilla as part of the Dover Patrol on 1 March 1917. On the night of 17/18 March 1917, German torpedo boats launched another attack on the Dover Barrage and shipping in the Channel. German torpedo boats torpedoed and sunk the destroyer and the merchant ship SS Greypoint and badly damaging the destroyer . Lark and the destroyer were ordered to reinforce the ships patrolling the barrage after the attack, but the Germans had already left. On 23 March 1917, Lark, together with sister ships , and the destroyer , escorted several cargo ships to France, using the Folkestone to Dieppe route. The merchant ships arrived safely, but at around 16:30, after the destroyers had begun the return trip, Laforey struck a mine, breaking in half and sinking. Lark and Laertes rescued 18 or Laforeys crew, with 58 killed. Lark left the Dover Patrol on 10 April 1917, joining the 1st Destroyer Flotilla based at Portsmouth. On 27 May 1917, Lark sighted a submarine mid-Channel, and dropped a total of four depth charges, although no damage was observed. Lark remained part of the 1st Flotilla in January 1918, but by February had moved to the Firth of Forth, forming part of what became the Methil Convoy Flotilla. Lark remained part of the Methill Flotilla until the end of the war, although she was noted as being paid off in December 1918. Disposal By June 1919, Lark was listed as being laid up in reserve at The Nore, and on 28 November 1919, her crew was reduced to a Care and Maintenance

upon revelations that six of its founding members were either registered with fictitious addresses or had criminal records. Researcher Ilona Klímová-Alexander writes that Lăzurică managed to "hijack" Șerboianu's plans, "traveling all over the country, establishing local branches and emphasizing their relationship to the centre; he also visited universities and persuaded Romani students to attend." Claiming to be the first-ever assembly of the Romanies in Romania, this caucus proclaimed Lăzurică its "Voivode"; Șerboianu was marginalized, and his supporters, mostly based in Transylvania, were barred from attending the UGRR meeting. Veselia reports that Naftanailă, "a modest Gypsy, just now wrestled out of his anonymity," was a delegate to the UGRR congress—but also that he photographed himself with Șerboianu, wearing the Romanian tricolor for a sash. In July 1934, the UGRR entered Șerboianu's fief in Târnava-Mică County, opening its own chapter with a festivity on Liberty field. In October, the Union organized an international congress of the Gypsies. Held out in the open in one of Bucharest's Romani suburbs, it reportedly used the slogan "Gypsies of the World unite", calling on all nomads to "organize themselves into a race-conscious and stable community." Its organizers promised that the Romani community had entered the age of "national dignity". Lăzurică was then tasked with representing the General Union at any future international meeting. Both he and Șerboianu were members of the Gypsy Lore Society, which, by 1935, was recognizing him as the only known Romani writer. Historian Viorel Achim highlights Lăzurică's debts to "romantic literature", reflected in his use of "Voivode". This title had never been claimed by any Romani tribal leader in Romania, where preference had been given to lesser ones, including Bulibașa and Vătaf. The same is argued by researchers Daniel Dieaconu and Silviu Costachie, who see Lăzurică as having embraced a "romantic myth" of purely Western European extraction. Variants of the title had appeared for various Gypsy tribal leaders in the high-medieval Kingdom of Hungary, which covered Transylvania and other regions inhabited by Romanians and Romanies. Tax-collecting and judicial Voivodes had also resurfaced in Hungarian successor states: a waywoda cziganorum was created in the Eastern Hungarian Kingdom in 1541, and then preserved as such by the Principality of Transylvania. It went to gadjo Ferenc Baladffy in 1557, and was usurped by Matei Bihari in 1600. The Banate of Lugos also preserved the office, with holders such as Lazar of Karansebes (1572) and Nicolae

was a Japanese samurai of the late Heian and early Kamakura periods. He was one of the closest retainers of Minamoto no Yoritomo, the first Kamakura shōgun, and was a personal tutor to the second, Minamoto no Yoriie. Life The birth date of Shimokōbe Yukihira, a samurai of the late Heian and early Kamakura periods, is unknown. He was the administrator (ja) in , Shimōsa Province (modern Ibaraki Prefecture, specifically the area corresponding to Koga City and its environs) and was the son of and the elder brother of . His clan were descendants of Fujiwara no Hidesato. He was initially a vassal of the Taira clan, but when Prince Mochihito and Minamoto no Yorimasa had their call to arms, it was Yukihira who brought the word to his lord Minamoto no Yoritomo, and he joined Yoritomo when he called his banners. It was during Yoritomo's retreat to Awa Province following the Battle of Ishibashiyama that Yukihira added his forces to Yoritomo's. He was a trusted retainer of Yoritomo, and in Yōwa 1 (1181) was selected as one of his personal bodyguards (寝所近辺祗候衆). He was a prominent gokenin. He fought valiantly in the Jishō-Juei War, including the defeat of Shida Yoshihiro (ja), and the . He reputedly had tremendous martial skill, particularly with the bow, demonstrating his skill frequently in yabusame, yumi-hajime (弓始) and deer-hunting. He later taught archery to Minamoto no Yoriie. In Kenkyū 6 (1195) he was accepted as a member of Yoritomo's household (ja), but his activities in the Hatakeyama Shigetada incident (ja) and later are uncertain. The date of his death is unknown.

chances by breaking out of the starting stalls and having to be reloaded. When the race began he fought Dettori's attempts to restrain him and pulled his way to the front. He hung to the left in the last quarter mile, was overtaken in the closing stages, and finished third behind Elusive Pimpernel and Emerald Commander. Despite his defeat at York, Poet's Voice was stepped up again in class for Group 2 Champagne Stakes at Doncaster Racecourse on 12 September and was made the 11/8 favourite against six opponents. He led from the start, accelerated approaching the final furlong and won by three quarters of a length from the Aidan O'Brien-trained Viscount Nelson. In the Group 1 Middle Park Stakes at Newmarket in October, the colt was dropped back in distance to six furlongs and started the 15/8 favourite. After leading for most of the way he was outpaced in the closing stages and finished fourth of the five runners behind Awzaan. 2010: three-year-old season On his first two races as a three-year-old, Poet's Voice ran without success in France: he finished eighth behind Lope de Vega in the Poule d'Essai des Poulains on 16 May and ninth to Joanna in the Prix de la Porte Maillot on 3 July. At Salisbury Racecourse on 12 August he started a 16/1 outsider for the Sovereign Stakes but belied his odds as he finished strongly and failed by only a nose to overhaul the pace-setting Sea Lord. He was partnered by Ted Durcan at Salisbury, but Dettori resumed the ride when the colt contested the Celebration Mile at Goodwood Racecourse and started the 2/1 second choice in the betting behind the five-year-old Main Aim, a two-time winner of the John of Gaunt Stakes. After being restrained at the rear of the four-runner field he took the lead a furlong out and drew away to win "comfortably" by four lengths. The Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Stakes over one mile at Ascot Racecourse on 25 September attracted an international field, with Poet's Voice starting the 9/2 third choice in the betting behind Makfi and Rip Van Winkle. The other five runners were Beethoven, Hearts of Fire (Gran Criterium), Red Jazz (European Free Handicap), Bushman (Diomed Stakes) and Air Chief Marshal (Minstrel Stakes).

and which critically need a follow up in order to improve their orbit "possible recovery", objects which are not visible at present, but which are possible to recover in the near future "lost", objects which have an absolute magnitude (H) brighter than 25 but which are virtually lost, their orbit being too uncertain; and "small", objects with an absolute magnitude fainter than 25; even when those are "lost", they are considered too small to result in heavy damage on the ground (though the Chelyabinsk meteor would have been fainter than this). Each object has its own impactor table (IT) which shows many parameters useful to determine the risk assessment. Sentry prediction system NASA's Sentry System continually scans the MPC catalog of known asteroids, analyzing their orbits for any possible future impacts. Like ESA's NEODyS, it gives a list of possible future impacts, along with the probability of each. It uses a slightly different algorithm to NEODyS, and so provides a useful cross-check and corroboration. Currently, no impacts are predicted (the single highest probability impact currently listed is ~7 m asteroid , which is due to pass Earth in September 2095 with only a 10% predicted chance of impacting; its size is also small enough that any damage from an impact would be minimal). Impact probability calculation pattern The ellipses in the diagram on the right show the predicted position of an example asteroid at closest Earth approach. At first, with only a few asteroid observations, the error ellipse is very large and includes the Earth. Further observations shrink the error ellipse, but it still includes the Earth. This raises the predicted impact probability, since the Earth now covers a larger fraction of the error region. Finally, yet more observations (often radar observations, or discovery of a previous sighting of the same asteroid on archival images) shrink the ellipse revealing that the Earth is outside the smaller error region, and the impact probability is then near zero. For asteroids that are actually on track to hit Earth, the predicted probability of impact never stops increasing as more observations are made. This initially very similar pattern makes it difficult to quickly differentiate between asteroids which will be millions of kilometres from Earth and those which will actually hit it. This in turn makes it difficult to decide when to raise an alarm as gaining more certainty takes time, which reduces the time

France entered World War I when Germany declared war on 3 August 1914. World War I largely arose from a conflict between two alliances: the Triple Alliance (Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy) and the Triple Entente (France, Russia, and Britain). France had had a military alliance with Russia since 1894, designed primarily to neutralize the German threat to both countries. Germany had a military alliance with . In June 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, was assassinated. The government of Austria-Hungary decided to destroy Serbia once and for all for stirring up trouble among ethnic Slavs. Germany secretly gave Austria-Hungary a blank check, promising to support it militarily no matter what it decided. Both countries wanted a localized war, Austria-Hungary versus Serbia. Russia decided to intervene to protect Serbia due to its interest in the Balkan region and its desire to gain an advantage over Austria-Hungary. The Tsar had the support of the President of France, who otherwise was hardly involved. Russia mobilized its army against Austria-Hungary. France mobilized its army. Germany declared war on Russia and France, and invaded France through Belgium. Britain had an understanding and military and naval planning agreements with France, but no formal treaty obligations. London felt British interest required a defence of France. Britain did have a treaty obligation toward Belgium, and that was used as the official reason Britain declared war on Germany. Japan, allied with Britain was not obligated to go to war but did so to gain spoils. Turkey joined the Central Powers. Italy, instead of joining Germany and Austria-Hungary with whom it had treaties, entered the war on the side of the Allies in 1915. The United States tried unsuccessfully to broker peace negotiations, and entered the war on the Allied side in April 1917. After very heavy losses on both sides, the Allies were decisively victorious, and divided the spoils of victory, such as the German colonies and much of the territory of the Ottoman Empire. The Austro-Hungarian, German, Russian and Ottoman Empires disintegrated. Diplomatic background By the late 1880s, Bismarck's League of the Three Emperors was in disarray; although Germany remained closely allied to Austria-Hungary, there was growing friction between Russia and Austria-Hungary over the Balkans. Angered by Austria's role in the Treaty of Berlin (1878), which forced Russia to withdraw from Bulgaria, Tsar Alexander III refused to renew the treaty in 1887. Bismarck, in

The Tati Goldfields are a mineral-rich band in Botswana and Zimbabwe in southern Africa. The band runs approximately long by wide, and crosses the Tati River. It is the southernmost of the gold-bearing bands in the Archaen greenstone (schist) belts of Zimbabwe. It is estimated that between 1866 and 1963 over 200,000 ounces of gold were produced from mines in the Tati Goldfields. History The area along the Tati River was pit mined by the Bakalanga before the arrival of Europeans. It may have been one of the sources of wealth for the Great Zimbabwe empire (c. 1200 to 1450). In 1866 Karl Mauch discovered the Tati goldfield, making it the first one discovered by Europeans in southern Africa. This led to the first South African gold rush. Geology The gold mineralization occurs in quartz veins, intruded into the volcano-sedimentary rocks of the Tati greenstone belt. Other economic minerals occur including nickel and copper. The major formation is the Selkirk Formation which is up to 1000 meters thick. The Selkirk is composed mostly of redeposited dacite and rhyolite, with some darker volcanics, and minor quartzites and quartzitic schists.

original outbuildings although some archaeological evidence of these may remain. The archaeological evidence throughout the property is likely to retain a moderate to high degree of integrity although there is evidence of some recent disturbance due to ploughing. Heritage listing Arnprior is of State significance as one of the earliest land grants and settlements in the Shoalhaven River area, which is able to demonstrate patterns of land allocation and use in southern NSW during the early decades of the NSW colony, particularly the granting of land to early free settlers and the surveying of roads and town reserves in settled districts in the 1820s and 30s. This is evidenced through the known (church and cemetery) and potential archaeological evidence of the early township of Larbert located within the property of Arnprior. Arnprior is of Local significance for its association with the Ryrie family, who were prominent land owners and settlers in southern NSW. As one of the earliest Ryrie-owned properties it provides evidence of the changing fortunes of the Ryrie family and the growth of their prominence in southern NSW. Arnprior is of State significance for its ability to demonstrate the operation of early colonial pastoral properties with assigned convict labour and use of local Aboriginal labour, as demonstrated through the mix of homestead, early sheds and potential archaeological evidence of convict housing associated with the property. Arnprior is a Locally representative example of early colonial settlements in NSW, retaining its original homestead and a range of archaeological remains and landscape features associated with early occupation. This significance has been compromised however through the loss of all of the original outbuildings, as well as intrusive alterations to the homestead itself. Despite these however, there is sufficient detail within the homestead to provide evidence of its earliest construction and subsequent phases of development, as well as early 19th to early 20th century vernacular construction techniques generally. The property has State significance for its landscape qualities. The grouping of the homestead on the rise amongst a setting of large mature conifers, with cleared paddocks around Gilberts Creek and the ruin of the shearing shed, evoke the earliest days of settlement within southern NSW, particularly when viewed from Mayfield Road. Arnprior was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 18 November 1999 having satisfied the following criteria. The place is important in demonstrating the course, or pattern, of cultural or

Finland had realized that physical drivers of solar variability and its terrestrial effects can be better understood with a more general and broader view. The concept of Space Climate had been developed, and the corresponding research community formed, which presently includes a few hundred active members around the world. In particular, a series of International Space Climate Symposia (biennial since 2004) was organized, with the first inaugural symposium being held in Oulu (Finland) in 2004, followed by those in Romania (2006), Finland (2009), India (2011), Finland (2013), Finland (2016), Canada (2019), as well as topical space climate sessions are regularly held at the General Assemblies of the Committee on Space Research and Earth Science.

The Tułacz M.1 was a Polish glider which competed in the First Polish Glider Contest in 1923. It had some advanced features but its unconventional control system may have caused the landing accident at the end of its first and only flight. Design and development Reports of the first German glider contest, held at the Wasserkuppe in the late summer of 1920, generated considerable interest in Poland, leading to the First Polish Glider Contest at Czarna Góra between 30 August and 13 September 1923. The contest was not a great success, limited by novice designers and pilots and a poor site, but the Karpiński SL.1 Akar was by far the most successful entrant. Another entrant to the Contest, the M.1 was an all-wood monoplane which incorporated several unusual features. It was aerodynamically clean, with a parasol wing and one of only two contestants with a twin-skid undercarriage rather than wheels, decreasing both drag and weight. The wing was in two parts, each half-wing a single spar structure with plywood covering ahead of the spar and fabric covering behind. Their two inner ends were mounted independently to a ply centre-section box by their spars in such a way that the latter could be independently rotated, altering the angles of incidence. The rotation was controlled by push-rods to the wings' inner ends, differential rotation replacing conventional ailerons and rotation together replacing elevators. The centre-section was supported over the fuselage on pairs of short, vertical struts at its front and rear and the wings were braced with short inverted-V struts from the upper fuselage to their spars. The fuselage was rectangular in section and ply-covered. It was deepest under the wing to accommodate the open cockpit and tapered strongly both forward and aft, with a profile like that of a thick airfoil. The M.1's empennage was a fabric-covered cantilever structure with a conventional fin and rudder but a one-piece, flight-adjustable tailplane. The M.1 made its first and last flight on 29 August 1923, just before the Contest began. It flew for 17 s but crashed heavily on landing, injuring its pilot Franciszek Wieden. The unfamiliar control system has been blamed for the accident; the M.1 was not repaired. Specifications References Parasol-wing aircraft 1920s Polish sailplanes Aircraft first flown in 1923

occupation since 1855, and may yield cultural deposits, including the footings of outbuildings, from the earlier period of settlement on the Hunters Hill peninsula. The garden in 2006 was very overgrown. Apart from an extension in masonry of apparent late 19th century construction to the east, and some minor internal alterations, The Chalet is intact, and exhibits a remarkable degree of integrity. Modifications and dates 19th century masonry-walled extensions to the eastern portion. The rear outbuildings have been demolished and a kitchen, dining room and living room added to the east. Externally the detail of the veranda has been continued. Further information Interior not inspected, although the interior is illustrated in "Fine Houses of Sydney" by Irving et.al. Heritage listing As at 2 January 2013, The Chalet was a very rare and distinctive example of an early prefabricated timber Swiss cottage in Australia. Dating from 1855, the house was imported from Hamburg, Germany, by Swiss emigre, Leonardo Etienne Bordier, and erected by indentured German tradesmen at sab Hill, an early French settlement of Sydney. The house remains the only surviving cottage of four prefabricated cottages originally erected as part of Bordier's planned speculative development at Hunters Hill. Aesthetically, The Chalet is distinctive and rare in Australia as a fine, highly crafted example of a picturesque and authentic Swiss or possibly Bavarian timber cottage from the Victorian period, imported from Germany, and erected by indentured specialist German tradesmen for a Swiss emigre. The Swiss cottage is complete with its original collection of fine, decorative details, such as moulded timber joinery and doors, door hardware, fixtures and fittings, all of a distinctive French style which is very rare for Australia. The prefabricated house design may have been a prototype for the 1855 Paris Industrial Exhibition erected in Hamburg where Bordier purchased the house in 1854. Historically, The Chalet represents a remarkable aspect of Australia's early history of immigration and settlement by European immigrants during the 19th Century, associated with the 1850s gold rush. It demonstrates the early use of imported prefabricated buildings to address the housing shortage due to the 1850s gold rush, and provides remnant evidence of the first planned group of houses at Hunters Hill. The subdivision, house and gardens also provide evidence of one of the first examples of Garden Suburb development in Australia's oldest Garden Suburb, Hunters Hill, which predated the Garden Suburb movement. Technically, The Chalet represents

did the work were called either 'hecklers' or, more often, flax dressers. In 1816 Andrew Rutherford opened a further mill at Harribrae, Dunfermline, manufacturing white and coloured yarns for table linen, ticking, sheetings, towellings and shirting, Macansh's father was an overseer at Rutherford's mill and probably got his son a job in 1819 in one of the heckling shops,. Macansh worked at the mill until it closed in 1852. The Heckling Shop Macansh described his time in Rutherford's in an article called 'The Politics of the Workshop'. It was published in instalments in 1854 in The Northern Warder and General Advertiser for the Counties of Fife, Perth, and Forfar. Macansh later updated the article for his anthology Working Man's Bye Hours, published in 1866. 'The Politics of the Workshop' described the political discussions of his fellow workers and their working conditions. The shop in which I wrought thirty years ago….held a dozen of us, six on each side with a window between every two. The centre of this window was a glazed fixture, the upper and under parts of this were hinged wooden blinds that could be lifted up or lowered down for the admission of fresh air or the emission of dust. In the winter months, November and December especially, this dust, the exhalation of a decayed vegetation, hung over our heads in a cloud so dense that one of my shopmates used to say, playfully, that he could write his name on it This was not the most Arcadian atmosphere for men to labour in from six in the morning till eight at night and not alone for days but for months and years. Many of the men were asthmatic and all were affected more or less with shortness of breath. Out of the dozen in our shop and six in another close by belonging to the same employers, are all dead with the exception of myself and another man.At age 16, according to Macansh, he was 'attacked with severe pains in his limbs, which, accompanied with a series of cruel accidents reduced him ere he attained his twenty-first year "to a state of dwarfish deformity". This disability exposed him to 'the constant taunts and jeers of his rougher fellow-workmen and the still more torturing expressions of pity from the more kindly-hearted'. ‘The trade at which the writer was employed for thirty-eight years – that of a flax

Mary Ellis (née Wilkins; 2 February 1917 – 24 July 2018) was a British ferry pilot, and one of the last surviving British women pilots from the Second World War. Early life Mary Wilkins was born on 2 February 1917, at Langley Farm, in Leafield, Oxfordshire, the only daughter and third of four children born to Nellie, née Clarke (1885–1967) and Charles William Wilkins (1885–1972). She developed a fascination with aviation from a young age, as her family home was located near Royal Air Force bases at Bicester Airfield and Port Meadow. When she was eight, the Sir Alan Cobham Flying Circus visited the area and she persuaded her father to pay for a joy ride in an Avro 504. She decided she wanted to learn to fly. When she was 16 she started having lessons at a flying club in Witney, successfully gained a private pilot's licence and flew for pleasure until the start of the Second World War in 1939, when all civilian flying was banned. Second World War In October 1941, she joined the Air Transport Auxiliary, and was posted to a pool of women flyers based in Hamble in Hampshire. Over the course of the war she flew over 1,000 planes of 76 different types, including Harvards, Hurricanes, Spitfires and Wellington bombers. Some of her flights were to relocate planes from Royal Air Force airfields to the frontline, and others were to ferry new planes from factories to airfields. Post Second World War After the war the Air Transport Auxiliary was disbanded. However, Ellis was seconded to the Royal Air Force and continued to ferry aircraft. She was one of the first women to fly the Gloster Meteor, Britain's first jet fighter. She later moved to the Isle of Wight. In 1950, she became the manager of Sandown Airport, and Europe's first female air commandant. Ellis managed Sandown for twenty years, during which time she also founded the Isle of Wight Aero Club. A former ATA colleague, Vera Strodl, was hired by Ellis as the chief flying instructor. In 2016, Ellis published her autobiography: A Spitfire Girl: One of the World's Greatest Female ATA Ferry Pilots Tells Her Story. Personal life She married fellow pilot Don Ellis in 1961, and they had a house next to the runway at Sandown. Don Ellis died in 2009. Ellis died at her home in Sandown, Isle of Wight, on

Dave Dominguez; they were mixed by Steel Panther producer Jay Ruston, who was assisted by Jack Douglass. Shortly after the release, Avidan stated "It’s the proudest I’ve ever been of anything we’ve done. It sounds like a real band. It doesn’t seem like too much to ask, but it’s a big deal to us." Canadian band Tupper Ware Remix Party performed as the backup band on the album, as they did on the previous two albums; it was the first original Ninja Sex Party album to feature them. Other guests include Panic! at the Disco session member Kenneth "Kenny" Harris performing a guitar solo on "Orgy for One", and Bob Reynolds and Rashawn Ross performing saxophone and trumpet respectively on "Smooth Talkin'". Recording and post-production The album was recorded in three different studios: Palmquist Studios in Los Angeles, Santa Monica Recordings in Santa Monica, and Buffalo Recording in Los Angeles (the latter for the songs produced by Arsenault and Dominguez). In November 2017, Avidan mentioned in an episode of Game Grumps that the band had finished most of the recording of Cool Patrol, and were aiming for a June 2018 release. On March 6, 2018, the band confirmed that the audio production of the album was completed, and that they were aiming at a "probable July release" which would be preceded with two new original song releases in the meantime. As of May 8, 2018, all audio work on the album was finished, and the album design was being completed. During the post-production of Cool Patrol, the band recorded their next cover album, Under the Covers, Vol. III; in parallel, they also recorded The TryForce, the third album of Starbomb, a band both Avidan and Wecht are also members of; both Under the Covers, Vol. III and The TryForce are produced by Roach. Promotion The tracklist was officially announced on August 1, 2018, although it had already been leaked on Classic Rock on June 26. The album became available for pre-orders on the same day, in two editions: standard, including a poster of the band, and Deluxe, signed by Avidan and Wecht. Singles and music videos The first single from the album, "Cool Patrol", was released as a single and music video on October 18, 2016, reached No. 1 on the iTunes Comedy chart. The video features YouTuber Jacksepticeye. "Eating Food in the Shower" was released as a single and
