a good setting for its symmetrical design. There are no street trees on the south-western side of Collett Street and the setting is dominated by a flagstone clad cutting between the gutter and grass verge. The fence to the property on the Antill and Collett Street sides is a cyclone mesh fence between galvanised steel posts and rails. The spatial curtilage is defined in the north-west by the two elevations of the red brick Mental Health building - Block R and the small lawn area and mature tree within that space. This curtilage is currently defined by Antill and Collett Streets to the nominal south and east. On the west a driveway with entry on Antill Street separates Rusten House from other hospital facilities. East of the driveway there remains a tennis court currently used for car parking. The landform indicates that the natural levels were altered to extend the court surface level out towards Antill Street. The car parking area serves staff and visitors to the hospital facilities which are generally west of the Rusten House area. The car parking area is generally screened by mature trees. Rusten House There are two main parts to the building, namely the larger stone section built in 1861 that is back from the road and known formally as Rusten House. In 1885 a separate Fever Ward was built between Rusten House and Collet Street, facing directly onto that street. There was no direct internal connection between the two buildings, however the narrow space between them has been enclosed and now both buildings are collectively referred to as Rusten House. Rusten House is a single storey mid-Victorian building divided into two main wards; one for males and one for females. Original buildings have had many additions and changes, but the original form and character is still apparent. Stone quarried locally, timber verandas, corrugated iron roof. Other buildings According to the 2012 GML conservation management plan, a wash house and covered passageway were erected in 1875 and although not clear, it may be that the small brick addition at the western end of Rusten House is the wash house as its detailing is consistent with the period. The location of the covered passageway may have been a covered link to other buildings on the site that have since been demolished. Modifications and dates 1870: oaks (Quercus sp.), elms (Ulmus procera) and pine (Pinus sp.)

estrogens. Effects on liver protein synthesis Estradiol and other estrogens modulate liver protein synthesis via activation of hepatic ERs. Estradiol increases the production and by extension circulating levels of sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG), angiotensinogen (AGT), pregnancy zone protein (PZP), coagulation factors, and numerous other hepatic proteins. Conversely, estradiol decreases hepatic synthesis and by extension circulating levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1). The effects of estradiol on liver protein synthesis are moderated by route of administration, with oral administration having 4- or 5-fold stronger effects on liver protein synthesis than doses by the transdermal route with equivalent general/systemic estrogenic potency. The influences of estradiol on liver protein synthesis have a variety of effects in the body, with implications for the bioavailability of androgens and the cardiovascular system. The influence of 2 mg/day oral estradiol on levels of hepatic proteins such as SHBG, CBG, and AGT is much lower than that with 10 μg/day oral ethinylestradiol. Vaginal micronized estradiol at 0.25 mg/day increased SHBG levels by about 10% after 2 weeks of therapy in women. Estradiol-containing birth control pills, which contain 1 to 3 mg/day estradiol or estradiol valerate, have been found to increase SHBG levels by 1.5-fold. Both oral estradiol valerate at 6 mg/day and intramuscular estradiol valerate at 10 mg every 10 days have been found to increase SHBG levels by 2.5- to 3-fold in transgender women. For comparison, combined birth control pills containing ethinylestradiol and a progestin with minimal androgenic or antiandrogenic activity have been found to increase SHBG levels by about 3- to 4-fold. High-dose polyestradiol phosphate by intramuscular injection has been found to increase SHBG levels by about 1.5-fold. Estradiol valerate in oil solution by intramuscular injection has been studied in the treatment of prostate cancer. Although parenteral estradiol has diminished effects on liver protein synthesis and by extension coagulation and cardiovascular risk compared to oral estradiol and non-bioidentical estrogens, a property attributable to its absence of disproportionate effects on the liver, sufficient doses of parenteral estradiol can nonetheless result in high estradiol concentrations in the liver and may increase coagulation and cardiovascular risk similarly. Estradiol valerate at a dose of 10 to 40 mg by intramuscular injection once every 2 weeks in men with prostate cancer has been found to increase markers of coagulation and plasminogen system activation such as levels of thrombin–antithrombin complex and quantitative D-dimers.

Customers differ in costs they generate by using company's resources in a different way. These reasons may include: Different amounts of marketing costs may be necessary to strike a deal with different customers Differences in used distribution channels / logistics by different customers Differences in customer service required by different customers Differences in volume of products purchased (production of large volume of a product for a single order can be cheaper that production of the same amount, divided into many orders, requested by many customers) CPA requires the company to associate all company's costs to different customers, even if the costs are not directly related to any particular customer. Some costs can be easily associated with a particular customer (i.e. direct costs associated to all products sold to the customer), while other costs (indirect costs / overhead, such as electricity bills for running a production plant) are not easy to be associated to a particular customer. There are several cost accounting methods, which can be used for this purpose, one commonly used method is activity based costing. In order to provide the best input to further management optimization activities, it's recommended to divide the costs assigned to each customer, to different cost pools. These cost pools should be defined depending on company's business, and can include product creation, processing purchase orders, shipping, invoicing, product samples, marketing, customer service, etc. CPA results Customer profitability check Possessing information defined above in "Input" chapter, management / accounting team can execute various different calculations, rankings, and comparisons between different customers / customer segments, necessary to reaching further conclusions and taking action. Few examples are displayed below, but the scope of calculations should be aligned to the company's business model. Calculate operating income associated to the customer - if the results is above 0, customer is bringing positive effect on the company, while if it is negative, company is currently losing money by conducting business with this customer; Calculate operating income / revenue associated to the customer - this metric gives understanding, which part of revenue becomes operating income; Compare customer particular cost pool ratio to average customer ratio - e.g. if 20% of total costs of Customer A is applicable to customer service, while on average, for entire customer base, customer service costs are 10% of total costs, company if given interesting information allowing to take action (look for ways to reduce Customer A

Muskallonge Lake is a lake in Luce County in the Upper Peninsula of the U.S. state of Michigan. Approximately long and wide, it is separated from Lake Superior to the north by a quarter-mile-wide strip of land that is the site of Muskallonge Lake State Park. Relatively shallow, the lake's deepest point is below the water surface. The lake sits at above sea level, above Lake Superior. Geology Muskallonge Lake was created during the retreat of the Laurentide Ice Sheet, some 6,000 to 4,000 years ago. Since that time, it has been cut off from Lake Superior by a strip of land averaging one quarter of one mile wide. The surface sediments in the area of the lake consist of glacial drift made up clay, silt, sand, and gravel. The sand immediately surrounding and beneath Lake Muskallonge have been shown to be hydrophobic, a unique characteristic that contributes to Muskallonge Lake's maintaining a water level elevation significantly higher than the water level of Lake Superior despite the proximity of the much larger body of water. History During the 19th century, the lake was used as a mill pond for white pine logs brought by narrow gauge railroad lines to feed the sawmill at the town of Deer Park. Remnants of its lumbering days are seen in partly submerged logs found in the lake. Fishing Muskallonge Lake supports a variety of fish including northern pike, yellow perch, rock bass, walleye, and smallmouth bass. It is a popular destination for ice fishing.

John Penton (born August 19, 1925) was an American professional motorcycle racer and entrepreneur who developed an enduro motorcycle brand that bore his name. A national champion enduro rider, he was an influential figure in the development of off-road motorcycle racing in the United States during the 1960s and 1970s. He also founded a successful off-road motorcycle boot and apparel company. Penton was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 1998. Motorcycling career Penton grew up on his family farm near Amherst, Ohio where he learned how to ride a motorcycle on his father's 1914 Harley-Davidson. He served in the Merchant Marine and in the Navy during the Second World War then, returned home and soon bought a Harley-Davidson Knucklehead motorcycle. Penton entered the grueling Jack Pine 500-Mile Enduro in 1948 where, he was impressed by the performance of the BSA motorcycle ridden by the race winner. The advantage that the nimble, lightweight British motorcycle had over heavier, more powerful motorcycles left an impression on Penton. He rode a BSA B33 to a second-place finish in the 1949 Jack Pine Enduro. The second-place finish inspired Penton to find a better performing enduro motorcycle. In 1950, Penton and his brothers opened a motorcycle dealership in Amherst where, they sold BSA as well as BMW and NSU motorcycles. Penton became one of the top motorcycle enduro competitors in the nation, representing the United States seven times at the International Six Days Trial (now called International Six Days Enduro) between 1962 and 1970. The International Six Days Trial is a form of off-road motorcycle Olympics which is the oldest annual competition sanctioned by the FIM dating back to 1913. He was also a long-distance motorcyclist, setting a transcontinental crossing record in 1958 when he rode a BMW R69S from New York to Los Angeles in 52 hours and 11 minutes. After Penton won the 1966 Jack Pine Enduro on a Husqvarna, the Swedish motorcycle manufacturer named him the distributor of the brand for the eastern United States. As the baby boomer generation came of age during the 1960s and 1970s, off-road motorcycling experienced a boom in popularity. Penton sought to capitalize on this boom by providing a lightweight off-road motorcycle. After failing to convince Husqvarna to produce an even lighter off-road machine, he decided to make his proposal to the KTM factory in Austria which, at the time produced bicycles and

of mainly one large room, with the altar stretching the width of the building, and has an ornate balustrade of wrought iron and timber. Heritage listing Tempe House is of exceptional historical significance as a remarkably intact 1830s villa still within its largely unaltered landscape setting. Designed by John Verge, Tempe House is an exceptional and rare example of Neo-Classical Georgian architecture, self-consciously designed as an 'Arcadian villa" for a picturesque setting and the only such example in the Sydney Metropolitan area. The site's association with the historical figures of A.B. Spark, Tempe's original owner, and following occupants, Caroline Chisholm and the Sisters of The Good Samaritan Order is also of significance. The site's intact nature makes it a valuable technical and research resource. As the only remaining building from the long period of the Sisters of the Good Samaritan Order's ownership, the St. Magdalene's Chapel, is of high social significance and represents the philosophy and religious beliefs of what was a large and rare charitable institution operating throughout the late 19th and 20th century. Architecturally the St. Magdalene's Chapel is also noteworthy. Tempe Estate is of exceptional social significance in the local area and displays landmark qualities that can be appreciated from a wide surrounding area. The garden and grounds of Tempe House, on the Cooks River, at Wolli Creek are of cultural significance on a State level for their siting and development by A. B. Spark according to Romantic Picturesque principles. Tempe Estate is a rare example of an 1830s villa which is still able to be appreciated in its landscape setting. The grounds are of exceptional importance for their ability to demonstrate close adherence to early nineteenth century design principles, including the modified natural element Mt Olympus - an unusual example of a detached shrubbery, and for surviving early fabric - walling, gateposts and sundial. They are important for their association for one hundred years with the Sisters of the Good Samaritan and for their framework of mature plantings, particularly the early Olea europaea subsp. Europaea. The group of eucalypts on Mount Olympus has value in providing evidence of the natural vegetation on the site. Mount Olympus and the group of eucalypts which, as a group, are rare on a local level. These are an identifiable natural landmark on the Princes Highway. The potential archaeological remains within the study area have a high level of historic and

Jan Ostroróg (1436–1501) was a Polish political writer, voivode of Poznan and adviser to the Polish kings Casimir IV Jagiellon and John I Albert. Ostroróg came from the old Polish nobility of the Ostroróg. He studied law at the universities of Erfurt and Bologna. He was a proponent of strong central authority of the monarchy, calling for reforms within the Roman Catholic Church and the law (he promoted equality of all classes before the law). In his work Memoriał o urządzeniu Rzeczypospolitej, written around 1475, he advocated fundamental reforms of the state, as well as the separation of state and church and the introduction of universal conscription. His marriage to the Ratibor princess Helene, the daughter of Wenceslaus II, Duke of Opava-Ratibor, a direct descendant of Ottokar II of Bohemia, produced the sons Wacław and Stanisław Ostroróg.

Palatogobius grandoculus is a species of marine fish in the family Gobiidae and the order Gobiiformes. Its name comes from the Latin word palatum (palate) which pertains to palate and its teeth which form there, plus the Latin word gobius, which means goby. The species name grandoculus (from the Latin words grand and oculus) refers to this species' very large eyes. Specimens of P. grandoculus were collected as early as 1976, and originally described as the Mauve Goby, however it was not formally identified as a separate species and described until 2002. Description Members of this species reach 3.2 cm (1.3 in) total length, and have 27 vertebra. Their dorsal fins contain only 8 spines but 17–18 soft rays. Similarly, their anal fins have only one spine, but 18–19 soft rays. Overall, this species is very similar in appearance to its relative, the Mauve goby (Palatogobius paradoxus), however P. grandoculus has a much larger eye and shorter snout than P. paradoxus, as well as a much narrower band of skull between the orbits. Its body scales also extend forward on the sides, past the origin of the first dorsal fin, while other members of its genus have scales which only extend to beneath the second dorsal fin. Distribution and habitat P. grandoculus is found in marine waters and lives at depths between 253 and 276 meters (830 to 905 feet). It can be encountered in the western Caribbean Sea, especially near Mexico and was originally collected near Cancún. It lives near the sea bed and can be found above coral fragments or sandy bottoms.

Highlands is a heritage-listed private residence located at 9 Highlands Avenue, Wahroonga in the Hornsby Shire local government area of New South Wales, Australia. It was designed by John Horbury Hunt and built from 1890 to 1893. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999. History The Highlands was built for Alfred James Hordern, a retail merchant, and his wife, Caroline. During the construction of Highlands the couple lived in a small cottage close to the construction site. It was in this cottage that their first son was born, Alfred Roy. Their second son, Bruce Alexander, was born six years later. Alfred (1859-1932) married Caroline Doig (1870-1938) in 1890. Caroline was the daughter of Alexander, a planter in Levaka, Fiji, where she was born. Plans for Highlands would have already been drawn up or the house may already have been under construction. Caroline obviously had a hand in the plans. Lesley Horden said of Alfred that "There is nothing in his letters to suggest he had the aestheticism or the spirit of innovation which would move him to commission such an architect. He was not a man to take risks or flout convention, and the robust and distinctive style of this house... bears little relation to his nervous personality." Caroline, however, is described as an artistic and well-educated woman, attributes reflected in Highlands. Other evidence of her influence of the plans is the second kitchen, located next to the household kitchen, which allowed her to "indulge in a culinary orgy." For Caroline, cooking was a creative outlet and was not for the purpose of feeding her family. Once her masterpieces had been formed they were given to local hospitals to feed patients. The garden was also created and maintained by Caroline, with the help of up to 14 gardeners. The original garden, how much modified, featured colour. Of note was the gravel driveway bordered by hydrangeas, in 1931 the garden was said to contain 100 varieties. Another feature was a bed of lily-of-the-valley. The garden was not just ornamental, there were extensive kitchen garden beds and, in 1903, Caroline had a grape house constructed. She was also an avid collector and would bring back exotics from her travels in the Pacific Islands and Europe. This had its down side, it is said she introduced a weed of the Oxalidaceace family to Australia. The

The F-31 Sport Cruiser is a family of American trailerable trimaran sailboats that was designed by New Zealander Ian Farrier and first built in 1991. The F-31 is the production development of the Farrier F-9, which were built by custom shops in small numbers and by amateur builders from plans. The first F-9 prototype was launched on 29 September 1991. Production The boats were built by Corsair Marine in the United States, starting in 1991, but are now out of production. Design The F-31 is a small recreational trimaran, built predominantly of fiberglass. The hull is constructed with a rigid PVC foam core, vacuum bagged moulded to the skins, while the structural beams are reinforced with carbon fiber. It has a fractional sloop rig, a plumb stem, a reverse transom, an internally-mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a retractable daggerboard, mounted at 18°, with the daggerboard trunk stepping the mast. The outrigger floats are folding for storage or ground transportation on a trailer, with a maximum width of under eight feet for highway transport. The outrigger floats fold into cutouts in the lower hull to reduce trailering width. When deployed the outriggers are set at a fixed 8° to the hull, so that they are upright and thus symmetrical, when each is in the water. Due to the employment of a daggerboard, the design can easily be beached. The boat is normally fitted with a small outboard motor of typically for docking and maneuvering. Operational history In 1992 the F-31 was named the Australian Sailboat of the Year. In April 1992 Fred Gan's F-31 Ostac Triumph won the bi-annual Australian Offshore Multihull Championships. In the associated Brisbane to Gladstone Ocean Race, Bobsled, a 67-foot, million dollar, racing monohull boat, sponsored by Société Générale, made headlines in breaking the monohull record by an impressive hour and a half. The trailerable F-31 caught and passed Bobsled, finishing an hour and fifteen minutes ahead. In a 2000 review, writer Bob Perry of Sailing Magazine wrote of the F-31, "In looking at the accommodations, it would be better not to compare this design to a monohull with a similar LOA but, instead, to compare displacements. There is no question that the 31-foot Farrier tri has less interior volume than a standard 31-foot monohull, but you cannot trail[er] most 31-foot monohulls. The F-31 has comfortable accommodations for two couples, and boat speed that

the pharmacy. The subject with geese is a reference to the geese-market which used to be held in front of his plot. Doctor Kupffender at the time was responsible to run analysis on the quality of the water pumped from the new city water supply station. On the facade, a plaque remembers 55 inhabitants of Bydgoszcz who were shot on 9 and 10 September 1939, at the Old Market Square. The elevation is heavily decorated at each level. Two first floors display rows of windows topped by pediment adorned with floral motifs and coat of arms (1st floor) or a woman head (2nd floor). Both levels have a wrought iron balcony, while the last floor boasts pilasters, festoons on lintels and corbel tables capped by a frieze of rosettes. House at 3 17th century Neo-classicism From the 1880s to the end of the Prussian rule, the house housed the Barnaß family, working in distillation business (). A local old book shop, Bydgoski Antykwariat Naukowy, is located on the ground floor of the building. Since 1969, nationwide auctions have been held here. On the façade, one can notice a plaque commemorating Tadeusz Nowakowski (1917–1996), a Polish writer and journalist, activist in exile, as honorary citizen of Bydgoszcz in 1993. During 1975 renovation works, on the ceiling of a spacious room of the basement, beams with remains of polychrome have been unveiled. Several of them are written dated: 1678 and 30 October 1590. Three beams have been moved for display in the house at Nr. 12, where at the time stood the Węgliszek art cafe. Nowadays, the elevation, stripped from its decoration, features a few lintels or triangular pediments and pleasant ground floor round top openings. House at 5 18th century Neo-classicism In 1642, the owner of the house was Maciej Pułkowski, a city burgher. Next landlord was a so-called Wilhelm, a Scot trading agent, Wilhelm Wallace, whose daughter Anna married Michał Paulusik, the town councilor and mayor of Bydgoszcz In the late 19th century, the building was owned by the family Vincent until the outbreak of WWI. At that time, the house housed also a large beerhouse, Automat. The colored frontage, without motifs, exhibits neo-classic style. House at 7, corner with 1 Mostowa street 1765–1774 Italian Neo-Renaissance The first mention about this house dates back to 1676, its landlord being Adam Szydłowski, a city councilman and administrator (1689).

and karaoke restaurant in Kichijōji in 1994. While still running the restaurant he returned to wrestling in 2006, participating in IWA Japan and freelance promotions. He frequently appears as a guest on talk shows to discuss sumo. He appeared on the TV Asahi program "Live TV until the morning" (朝まで生テレビ!) to discuss the Tokitsukaze stable hazing scandal in 2007, and in 2011 when many top wrestlers were dismissed in a match-fixing scandal he denied that sumo had a problem with gambling and yazuka ties, despite his stablemaster Onaruto making similar claims in a book published shortly after his death in 1996. In August 2015 he said he would likely retire from wrestling the following year, which would mark the 40th anniversary of his sumo career. However, in August 2016 he was promoting a mixed tag team match also involving Funaki to be held on 6 November at the Shinjuku Face. In 2022, he joined his son in Dragon Gate for multiple matches. He teamed with his son Ishin to face Masaaki Mochizuki and his son, Mochizuki Jr., on September 9. He unsuccessfully challenged for the Open the Triangle Gate Championship with Ishin and Don Fujii on September 19. Fighting style In sumo Ishinriki specialized in throwing techniques, with his three most common winning kimarite being shitatenage (underarm throw), uwatenage (overarm throw) and uwatedashinage (pulling overarm throw). Personal life He is married to former Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling and LLPW wrestler Utako Hozumi, whom he met during his WAR days. Their sons, Riki and Ishin, are also professional wrestlers who made their debuts at a Dragon Gate tournament in Ōta, Tokyo on September 20, 2021. Riki, however, retired on June 6, 2022.

Kernel-phases are observable quantities used in high resolution astronomical imaging used for superresolution image creation. It can be seen as a generalization of closure phases for redundant arrays. For this reason, when the wavefront quality requirement are met, it is an alternative to aperture masking interferometry that can be executed without a mask while retaining phase error rejection properties. The observables are computed through linear algebra from the Fourier transform of direct images. They can then be used for statistical testing, model fitting, or image reconstruction. Prerequisites In order to extract kernel-phases from an image, some requirements must be met: Images are nyquist-sampled (at least 2 pixels per resolution element ()) Images are taken in near monochromatic light Exposure time is shorter than the timescale of aberrations Strehl ratio is high (good adaptive optics) Linearity of the pixel response (i.e. no saturation) Deviations from these requirements are known to be acceptable, but lead to observational bias that should be corrected by the observation of calibrators. Definition The method relies on a discrete model of the instrument's pupil plane and the corresponding list of baselines to provide corresponding vectors of pupil plane errors and of image plane Fourier Phases. When the wavefront error in the pupil plane is small enough (i.e. when the Strehl ratio of the imaging system is sufficiently high), the complex amplitude associated to the instrumental phase in one point of the pupil , can be approximated by . This permits the expression of the pupil-plane phase aberrations to the image plane Fourier phase as a linear transformation described by the matrix : Where is the theoretical Fourier phase vector of the object. In this formalism, singular value decomposition can be used to find a matrix satisfying . The rows of constitute a basis of the kernel of . The vector is called the kernel-phase vector of observables. This equation can be used for model-fitting as it represents the interpretation of a sub-space of the Fourier phase that is immune to the instrumental phase errors to the first order. Applications The technique was first used in the re-analysis of archival images from the Hubble Space Telescope where it enabled the discovery of a number of brown dwarf in close binary systems. The technique is used as an alternative to aperture masking interferometry, especially for fainter stars because it does not require the use of masks that typically block

Reve d'Or (1884 – after 1904) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare who won two British Classic Races in 1887. She ran nine times as a juvenile in 1886, winning three races including an upset victory in the Dewhurst Plate in October. In the following year she won nine races including the 1000 Guineas, Oaks Stakes, Sussex Stakes, York Queen's Plate, Yorkshire Oaks, Great Foal Stakes and Newmarket Oaks. She remained in training until the age of seven, winning the Jockey Club Cup in 1888 and the City and Suburban Handicap in 1890. She had limited success as a broodmare in France. Background Reve d'Or was a chestnut mare bred and owned by Henry Somerset, 8th Duke of Beaufort. The filly was sent into training with Alec Taylor Sr. at Manton in Wiltshire. Her sire, Hampton was an excellent stayer who won both the Goodwood Cup and the Doncaster Cup. Hampton was Champion sire in 1887 and sired, in addition to Merry Hampton, the Derby winners Merry Hampton, Ladas and Ayrshire as well as the influential sires Bay Ronald and Royal Hampton. Reve d'Or's dam, Queen of the Roses, was a granddaughter of the Irish broodmare Maria (foaled 1845), making her a distant relative of The Finn and Wintergreen. Queen of the Roses had once been sold for £30 and was then acquired almost as cheaply by the Duke of Beaufort. Racing career 1886: two-year-old season In her first major test, Reve d'Or finished third to Timothy in the Stockbrige Post Sweepstakes at Stockbridge Racecourse in June and then contested a Rous Memorial Stakes over six furlongs at Goodwood Racecourse on 29 July in which ran unplaced behind Mamia. She then won the Bretty Stakes at Derby Racecourse, upsetting the 1/20 favourite Kilwarlin. On 1 October at Newmarket Racecourse the filly started 7/2 favourite for another Rous Memorial but was unplaced again. At the end of the month at Newmarket she ran third to Caller Herrin in the Criterion Stakes. and then won the Home-bred Produce Stakes. Reve d'Or was then stepped up in class for the seven furlong Dewhurst Plate at the same meeting and started a 20/1 outsider in a ten-runner field which included Florentine (winner of the Middle Park Plate), Enterprise (July Stakes) and Freedom (Molecomb Stakes). Ridden by Charles Wood she tracked the leaders before going to the front approaching the final furlong and drew

The Women's Senior T20 Challenger Trophy is a women's T20 tournament held in India. The tournament first took place in the 2009–10 season, as the T20 equivalent to the List A Senior Women's Challenger Trophy. The participating teams were the same as in the List A tournament: India Blue, India Green and India Red, with India Green emerging victorious in the final. The tournament later returned in the 2018–19 season, with India Blue winning their first title, defeating India Red by 4 runs in the final. In the third edition of the tournament in 2019–20, the teams competing were named India A, India B and India C, with India C winning the final by 8 wickets over India B. The tournament returned in 2022–23, now with four teams competing, and was won by the new team, India D. Competition format Matches in the tournament are played using a Twenty20 format. In the first season, the three teams played each other once in a round-robin format, with the top two in the group advancing to the final to play-off for the title. In the next two seasons, the tournament expanded to a double round-robin format, with teams playing each twice in the initial group stage before the top two advanced to the final. In 2022–23, the tournament changed back to a round-robin format, but with one extra team, meaning the number of overall matches stayed the same. Teams are awarded 4 points for a win, with most wins being the first tiebreaker if teams are joint on points.

Samuel Burgess-Johnson served as the video's creative directors. The video for "There's a Honey" focuses on the group performing the song in the dark under a translucent magenta cloth. When talking to Fader about the video, Baron-Gracie noted: "For the first Pale Waves video we wanted [it to be] minimal and beautiful. Drawing inspiration from American sculptor Daniel Wurtzel, [we wanted something] romantic [while also] evoking a feeling of claustrophobia". The album's second single, "Television Romance", was released on 16 August 2017. The music video for the single was co-directed by Samuel Burgess-Johnson and Matty Healy, and it debuted on 18 September 2017. The video features the band performing the song in the living room of a flat located in Ashton-under-Lyne in the Greater Manchester area. The flat used in the video was owned by a 92-year-old woman (according to Healy, "She had no clue what was going on but she was loving it"). Both "There's a Honey" and "Television Romance" were re-released on 10 November 2017 as a limited edition white 7" double A-side single, which debuted at number 83 on the Scottish Singles Chart, and at number 2 on the UK Vinyl Singles and UK Singles Sales Charts. "Kiss" was officially released as the album's third single on 15 May 2018, although it had earlier leaked on Spotify before being taken down. "Kiss" premiered on Annie Mac's Radio 1. A music video for "Kiss" was released on 14 June 2018. Directed by Robert Hales, this video is in filmed in black and white and sees the band performing in a seemingly disused warehouse while black paint leaks from the walls. The fourth single, "Noises", was released on 28 June 2018, debuting on Zane Lowe's Beats1 radio show. Around a month later, on 20 July 2018, the band released a video for the single. Directed by Gareth Phillips, this video sees Baron-Gracie performing as four distinct characters, each dressed in a unique style. On 24 July 2018, the band released "Eighteen" as the fifth single from the record. "Eighteen" also debuted on Mac's Radio 1 show, and it later charted at 55 on Billboard Japan. The music video for "Eighteen", directed by Adam Powell, was released on 22 August 2018 and follows Baron-Gracie as she goes on a road trip across the United States.

The 85th edition of the Orange Bowl was one of two College Football Playoff semifinal games, the game featured two of the four teams selected by the College Football Playoff Selection Committee—Alabama from the SEC, and Oklahoma from the Big 12 Conference. Alabama took off with a 28-0 lead in the early 2nd quarter and never looked backed to win 45-34. They advanced to face the winner of the Cotton Bowl (Clemson) in the 2019 College Football Playoff National Championship. It was one of the 2018–19 bowl games concluding the 2018 FBS football season. Sponsored by the Capital One Financial Corporation, the game was officially known as the College Football Playoff Semifinal at the Capital One Orange Bowl. Teams The game featured top-ranked Alabama of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) against fourth-ranked Oklahoma of the Big 12 Conference. The programs had previously met five times, with Oklahoma leading the series, 3–1–1. They first met in the 1963 Orange Bowl, won by Alabama, 17–0. Their most recent meeting was in the 2014 Sugar Bowl, a 45–31 Oklahoma victory. Alabama Crimson Tide Alabama defeated Georgia in the 2018 SEC Championship Game on December 1, then received their bid to the Orange Bowl with the release of final CFP rankings on December 2. The Crimson Tide entered the bowl with a 13–0 record (8–0 in conference). On December 25, it was announced that three Alabama players, including starting offensive lineman Deonte Brown, would not play in the game due to an unspecified violation of team rules. Oklahoma Sooners Oklahoma defeated Texas in the 2018 Big 12 Championship Game on December 1, then received their bid to the Orange Bowl with the release of final CFP rankings on December 2.

Board being constituted to manage the land drainage functions from 1 April 1933. The North District and South District Boards were abolished, and the Catchment Board took over the functions of the Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Commissioners of Sewers. Subsequent legislation resulted in the Catchment Board being replaced by the Lincolnshire River Board in 1950, the Lincolnshire River Authority in 1965, the Anglian Water Authority in 1973, the National Rivers Authority in 1989 and finally the Environment Agency from 1996. Most of the Till, one of its tributaries and the Catchwater Drain are designated main rivers, and are maintained by the Environment Agency, while the upper river and the many drainage ditches bordering the lower river are the responsibility of the Upper Witham internal drainage board. Some 20,000 people live in regions of Lincoln that are susceptible to flooding. Most of the city's industrial buildings and around half of the commercial property is also at a high risk from flooding. There were major floods in the city in 1947 and 1958, and the amount of water delivered to the city by the River Till was a significant factor in the 1958 floods. Following these events, feasibility studies were carried out in 1977 to identify ways to mitigate flooding in the city. This resulted in the construction of two washlands, one where the River Brant joins the River Witham, to the south of Lincoln, and the other on the River Till, to the north-west. Work began in 1984, and the two schemes can hold back of floodwater. In both cases, a shallow embankment was constructed across the river valley, and the river passes through a control sluice, which can be used to limit the volume of water travelling downstream. Inlet and outlet sluices in the embankments can be opened to allow the water to flood the Till washlands, rather than allowing river levels in the city to breach the defences. The water from the washlands is subsequently released as levels through the city return to normal. Draining of the washlands is assisted by pumping stations, and the scheme was completed in 1991. The washlands were tested for the first time in 2000, when there was some local flooding of rural areas, but the storage of water prevented significant damage occurring in Lincoln. Much more serious was a flood event in the summer of 2007, which was caused by intense rainfall, but the

Pirro Gonzaga (1505–1529) was a Roman Catholic cardinal. He was the third son of Ludovico (son of Ludovico "Il Turco"), second Conte di Rodigo con Rivalta, Signore di Sabbioneta, Correggioverde, Pomponesco, Gazzuolo and Belforte; and Francesca, daughter of Gian Luigi Fieschi, Conte di Lavagna. He was a cousin of Cardinal Ercole Gonzaga. At the age of 22, on 5 September 1527, Pirro was given the Bishopric of Modena by Pope Clement VII, while the Pope was still being held prisoner in the Castel S. Angelo, and was being supported by the efforts of Pirro's elder brother, Luigi Gonzaga (Ludovico "Rodomonte"). Once Pope Clement was released, Luigi conducted him from the Castel S. Angelo to his refuge in Orvieto. Pirro Gonzaga was created a cardinal by Pope Clement VII in the Consistory of 21 November 1527, which was held in the Castel S. Angelo; on 27 January 1528 he was assigned as his titular church the Deaconry of S. Agata in Suburra. He was never consecrated a bishop, being below the canonical minimum age of 27 for consecration as a bishop. According to Vicente Fontana, in his Teatro Dominicano, the diocese of Modena was administered by a suffragan bishop, Vincenzo Cevola, O.P., titular Bishop of Hierapolis. Gonzaga died on 28 January 1529, at the family estate at Sabbioneta, north-northwest of Modena.

The 2018 European drought and heat wave was a period of unusually hot weather that led to record-breaking temperatures and wildfires in many parts of Europe during the spring and summer of 2018. It is part of a larger heat wave affecting the northern hemisphere, caused in part by the jet stream being weaker than usual, allowing hot high-pressure air to linger in the same place. According to the European Drought Observatory, most of the areas affected by drought are across northern and central Europe. According to the World Meteorological Organization, the severe heat waves across the northern hemisphere in the summer of 2018, are linked to climate change in Europe, as well as events of extreme precipitation. General Researchers at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute and World Weather Attribution estimated that climate change more than doubled the overall likelihood of the heat wave, and in some places like Denmark made it up to five times as likely. The heat has built up for two months due to slow and weakened jet stream. One possible cause for the jet stream to be slow and weak relates to global warming. In the polar regions, the average surface temperature is rising more quickly than at mid latitudes in a phenomenon called polar amplification. Many researchers believe a strong polar amplification reduces the strength and changes the pattern of the jet stream, producing patterns like those occurring during the 2018 heat wave. Dr. Michael Mann opined that global warming may be making such heat waves even more likely than the researchers estimated, because at the time of the study the climate models could not fully account for how the jet stream is affected by global warming. The extreme heat was blamed for forest fires and crop failures. According to the World Meteorological Organization, the severe heat waves across the northern hemisphere in the summer of 2018, are linked to climate change in Europe, as well as events of extreme precipitation. Results were increase in elderly mortality; severe decline in yields; the biggest algae bloom in the Baltic sea for decades, that has poisoned water both for human and animals use; shutdowns of nuclear power plants in Europe, because the water in the rivers, that is used for cooling the reactors, was too warm; and electricity grids crashing across four continents. The impacts were severe, even in the countries considered rich and well prepared

Zohdy Qadry (born in 1972) is a Palestinian plastic artist. Biography Zohdy Qadry was born in 1972 in Nahf in the Western Galilee. He studied at The Academy for Art and Industry in St. Petersburg, Russia in the 1990s where he also completed a master's degree in wall paintings. He worked in St. Petersburg for several years and returned home in 2004. Qadry's work relates directly to Palestinian history and he is considered as a plastic artist who brings Palestinians' socio-historical issues into the art field via modern and simple painting. The infrastructure of Qadry's plastic art was made by pairing the Palestinian experience with the Russian art legacy as practiced at the Mochina institute. Qadry's work has far-reaching contexts – a result of his life path and his time in Russia – and combines a Palestinian-Russian modern style of art. Non-Geometric Themes The main theme in Qadry's work between 1996 and 2003 was that of "Home". In the painting, Nahf (1999), the scene overlooks the houses of Nahf from outside of village in a distance on a foothill, we see small houses and the mosque's minaret which seems representation of nostalgia. Qadry painted a series of olive trees between 2002 and 2003. In this series he moves from representing one tree to a number of trees and adopted three-dimensional technique in this series with the shape of a square grid. Looking over time at his painting – from The Family (2002) to Something inside You (2011) – one can see a transition from the figurative style to the abstract. Geometric Theme In recent years Qadry took geometric shapes as his artistic language. This works does not represent reality but rather to present to the logic of formation, materially and formally. This body of work proposes aesthetic questions about how the principle of plastic art production works in the colonial Palestinian context, and how does art acquires socio-historical meaning in general. In the "Memory of Immigration (2012) exhibition, which based on the Idea that visualization of Palestinian tragedy or Al-Nakba, Qadry included some geometric painting series. Qadry participated in a group exhibition, "Take Painting" at the Petach Tikva Museum of Art, the paintings in which were characterized as "not romantic representations of ruins observed somewhere out there in the landscape; they are themselves ruins—composite sites of the real and the allegorical, hybrid accumulations of abstract and figurative idioms".

by introduced plant species. Additionally, native animal species had been frightened away from their habitats. In no time, the scarcity of traditional resources saw a crisis arise in the lifestyle of the local Aboriginal people - their homeland was being ravaged and their very survival was at risk. The rapid degradation of the sustainable environment left the traditional Aboriginal people with one option: appropriate the introduced crops and stock to survive. While traditional Aboriginal life had no concept of ownership (but rather a shared use of land and resources), the settlers viewed their actions as theft and crimes punishable by violent retaliation. At this point in relations, the Aboriginal people were struggling to maintain their traditional ways of life while contending with the force of the colonial settlers and it was soon realised that the Elouera people had little to match the sheer number of settlers with their introduced firearms and diseases (smallpox, influenza and tuberculosis). The colonial government, under Governor Macquarie's direction, had declared unofficial war against the Aboriginal people. A detachment of the 46th Regiment was sent to Red Point (now Hill 60 at Port Kembla) to bring a show of force to the Aboriginal people. "During April of 1816 Macquarie instructed his soldiers to seek out the Aborigines and "strike them with terror .... drive them to a distance from the settlements of the White Men ... inflict terrible and exemplary punishments" so as the NSW Government would not be seen to show cowardice in the face of perceived Aboriginal aggression". It was the colonial intention that fear be instilled in the local Aboriginal people to reduce retaliation attempts on the settlement. As a result of this action, the traditional Aboriginal population was quickly decimated. With forced removal to fringe camps, assimilation to European culture and the imposition of strict control measures - coupled with their delegation to the bottom of the social hierarchy - the Aboriginal people had no recourse against the invasion of the settlers throughout the nineteenth century. Governor Macquarie's plans to expand the colonial frontier had been a success and the rich land of the Illawarra region had been cleared of its traditional inhabitants and was free to be exploited by the settlers. By the 1840s, the colony was experiencing an economic depression and the large landholdings in the region were soon subdivided into smaller tenant farms. Provided rent-free for periods of up

Gene Howard Brody is an American developmental psychologist and prevention scientist and Regent's Professor at the University of Georgia and is the founder and co-director of the University of Georgia's Center for Family Research. He is known for his research on the physiological, biological, and mental health effects of poverty, community disadvantage, and racial discrimination and for the development of efficacious prevention programs for African American youth and their families. Early life and education Brody grew up in California and earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at the University of California, Santa Barbara in 1972. He then earned a Master of Arts in Developmental Psychology at the University of Arizona in 1973 followed by a PhD in Developmental Psychology in 1976 also at the University of Arizona. Research and career He began his academic career as an assistant professor at the University of Georgia in 1976 and began a program of research in which he became known for examining the physiological, biological, and mental health effects of poverty, community disadvantage, and racial discrimination. His longitudinal studies that focus on strengths rather than deficits in investigating resilience among Black Americans have not only demonstrated how such work can help narrow disparities but has influenced theoretical and methodological approaches in developmental and prevention science. His research has shown, for example, that African American youth who are exposed to family economic hardship and racial discrimination in childhood and adolescence are more likely to develop diabetes, increased allostatic load, accelerated cellular aging, and higher levels of systemic inflammation later in life. He has also investigated how these effects can be offset by other environmental variables, such as support from family members. Brody's recent research has shed light on the ways in which there may be physiological costs associated with achieving resilience on outward indicators of psychosocial functioning, a phenomenon known as “skin-deep resilience”. Although high levels of self-control, goal directed behavior, and high-effort coping are thought to contribute to outward signs of resilience in adverse environments, these same behaviors may undermine individuals’ physical health as a result of the physical strain and wear-and-tear associated with growing up with socioeconomic disadvantage. Much of this research has led to deeper work understanding prevention strategies and direct intervention programs which focus on strengthening family relationships, parenting processes and youth competencies as well as preventing negative outcomes.

In 1970, Garcia co-founded the militant youth political movement LAKASDIWA (Lakas ng Diwang Kayumanggi). The movement and its distinct political ideology (Filipino Social Democracy) sought to create a nonviolent path towards social change, drawing from diverse sources such as Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Liberation Theology, including indigenous philosophies. The tambuli (carabao horn) was used as a symbol of the group. LAKASDIWA was conceived as an alternative to the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist (MLM) ideology of the CPP-NPA-NDF which called for armed struggle. Among Marxists and more radical formations, the movement was often derided as being too moderate and bourgeois, and its members branded as "clerico-fascists," alluding to its close ties to the Catholic hierarchy and the Jesuit-run Ateneo de Manila University. Later, Garcia became a member of KAAKBAY, a broad nationalist political movement against the Marcos dictatorship led by imprisoned senator Jose W. Diokno. After the 1986 People Power Revolution which ended the Marcos regime, Garcia was appointed by the Aquino government as a representative in the 1986 Constitutional Commission tasked to create a "Freedom Constitution." He served as one of the framers of the 1987 Philippine Constitution and together with youth representative Chito Gascon were key advocates for the inclusion of human rights and social justice provisions in the charter; he consulted Diokno a fortnight before the plebiscite. Garcia later helped establish the Kilusan Laban sa Kudeta (KILOS) in 1989 during the turbulent Aquino years and participated in the Coalition for Peace in 1986, the Gaston Z. Ortigas (GZO) Peace Institute in 1989, and the Multi-Sectoral Peace Advocates and the National Peace Conference in 1990. Garcia is also one of the Board of Directors of the Jose W. Diokno Foundation.

Piano Odyssey is a studio album by English keyboardist Rick Wakeman, released on 12 October 2018 by Sony Classical Records. After the positive response to his previous album Piano Portraits (2017), Wakeman decided to record a follow-up in the same format, recording a mixture of piano-oriented cover versions and original pieces. This time, some tracks include the Orion Orchestra and the English Chamber Choir. Production Following the commercial and critical success of Wakeman's previous album, Piano Portraits (2017), Wakeman decided to produce a follow-up album. In April 2018, Wakeman announced that his manager had secured an agreement with Sony Masterworks to release it. Piano Odyssey continues the theme of the previous with a selection of original, cover versions, and classically-inspired compositions arranged by Wakeman for the piano, but contains additional orchestral arrangements from the London-based Orion Orchestra and the English Chamber Choir. The album began with Wakeman meeting with management at Sony Masterworks to discuss its contents and Wakeman's plans for it. Both parties agreed that a follow-up to Piano Portraits should be more than another solo piano release and settled for some of the new tracks to be accompanied by an orchestra and choir. Wakeman then assembled a list of 40 tracks that he wanted to record for it and narrowed it down to 12 final songs. In a subsequent two-week period, Wakeman completed the piano arrangements for the tracks which was followed by the orchestral scores which took a further four weeks. Wakeman recorded his piano parts in the course of a week at The Old Granary, a recording studio in a restored 18th century barn in Norfolk, with his longtime engineer Erik Jordan. He plays a Steinway Model D grand piano. With the piano tracks put down, a week was spent making alterations to the orchestral arrangements with conductor and arranger Guy Protheroe. Upon completion, the orchestra and choir was recorded across three days at Angel Recording Studios in London with Wakeman and Protheroe sharing conducting duties, and engineered by Toby Wood. By 10 May 2018, the album had entered the mixing stage. Wakeman supported the album with a UK tour from September to December 2018, with the December dates featuring a Christmas-themed program.

minting their own coins and started relying heavily on Chinese cash coins as the internal demand for copper coinage increased. The Eiraku Tsūhō coin in Japan is known as a toraisen ("Tang money" or "Chinese money"), and other cash coins with Ming dynasty era inscriptions also started circulating in Japan. As the imports of Chinese cash coins didn't fulfill the demand the Japanese market had many Japanese mints started casting reproductions of these toraisen which were known as shichūsen, and shichūsen of inferior quality were known as bitasen or money made from bad metal. These coins with Ming dynasty inscriptions remained in circulation in Japan until they were officially prohibited by the Tokugawa shogunate in 1608. Despite this however Bitasen continued to circulate within Japan, but from 1670 the Eiraku Tsūhō was completely prohibited from circulation and depreciated in favour of the government produced Kan'ei Tsūhō cash coins. Association with Oda Nobunaga On the 5th month of the year Eiroku 3 (永禄三年, or 1560 in the Gregorian calendar), daimyō Oda Nobunaga was preparing for the Battle of Okehazama and while he had an army of forty thousand men, he could only gather around two and a half thousand soldiers for this decisive battle, Oda Nobunaga then went to pray for a victorious military campaign at the nearby Atsuta-jingū, he asked the Gods to show him a sign that his prayers would be answered and while looking at a handful of Eiraku Tsūhō cash coins decided to throw them in the air, when they fell back on the ground they all landed with heads up, he took this as a sign that the Gods would bless him and informed his men that they shall be victorious as they Gods favoured them. After winning the battle he used the Eiraku Tsūhō as a motif for his nobori (a type of flag or banner) and then he had these Eiraku Tsūhō coins inlayed on the tsuba of the sword which he carried during the battle. After Oda Nobunaga's forces were victorious his retainer Hayashi Hidesada said that the Gods must've really spoken through these coins to which Nobunaga replied by saying the Zen Buddhist proverb "I only know that I'm okay with what I got" (吾唯知足, ware tada taru o shiru) and presented to him an Eiraku Tsūhō coin of which both the obverse and reverse sides were heads.

Mar Yakov Church or Mor Yakup Church (), also known as Church of Saint Jacob in Nisibis, is a historic church in Nusaybin, southeastern Turkey. Archaeological excavations revealed that the 4th-century church building was originally the baptistery of a cathedral, which no longer exists. It is not determined whether this church belonged to Syriac Orthodox Church or the Church of the East, but it is under the jurisdiction of the Syriac Orthodox Church which it is most likely linked to. History The historical church is located in Nusaybin ilçe (district), formerly Nisibis, either of the Mardin Province of the Syriac Orthodox Church or the Nisibis province of the Church of the East, in southeastern Turkey. It is situated around east of the Zeynel Abidin Mosque Complex. The church is dedicated to Syriac Jacob of Nisibis, who became bishop of Nisibis by appointment of Episcopal congress, convened in Virgin Mary Church of Diyarbakır in 309, and was later venerated saint (). The church was built by Jacob of Nisibis between 313–320. It is considered as one of the oldest churches in Upper Mesopotamia. According to some inscriptions and texts, the church was built as the baptistery of a cathedral at that place. However, it was converted to a church after the cathedral and some other buildings were ruined. Architecture The church building features the characteristics of the Late Roman and Early Byzantium architecture. It consists of two sections. In the southern building, there are two separate parts with two opposed buttresses. A square place of with two doorways in the northern and southern walls is situated in the eastern part. Its eastern wall has an apse. On the west side, an arch opening leads to the western part of the southern section. The eastern part features wall decorations and friezes on the arches and apse's niche. Corinthian helmets decorate all the buttresses except those facing west. It is likely that the middle and western buttresses were added later. The western part of the building has arched doors decorated with fine ornaments in the northern and southern walls. Eight of the doors in the northern and southern walls have horseshoe-like arches. The arches and the pillars are decorated with ornaments. An inscription in Ancient Greek found on the middle frieze reads: "This baptistery was built with the contribution of priest Akepsyma in 571 (359/360), when Volagesus was metropolitan.

Momin Dvor ( ) is a 2,723 m high peak in the Pirin mountain range, south-western Bulgaria. It is located in the northern part of Pirin on its main ridge between the summits of Kralev Dvor (2,680 m) and Dzhengal (2,730 m). Momin Dvor is pyramid-shaped and was formed by glacial erosion from the three neighbouring cirques: Valyavishki, Popovski and Belemeto. It is built up of porphyry granite. Three short ridges connect Momin Dvor with the neighbouring peaks. The western ridge links it with Valyavishki Chukar (2,664 m) and at the same time separates the cirques Valyavishki and Belemeto; the ridge is part of a hiking trail leading from Tevno Ezero shelter to Dzhengal Peak. Another ridge stems in south-eastern direction towards Kralev Dvor and forms part of the main trail between Tevno Ezero shelter and Bezbog refuge. To the north-east a more difficultly accessible ridge links Momin Dvor and Dzhengal, situated on the neighbouring Polezhan secondary ridge. Its name means Maiden's courtyard in Bulgarian and was given to the peak because of the snow on its northern slopes that holds until late summer and appears as clean maiden's laundry hung out in her courtyard. According to local legends god Perun had a younger sister who lived near Samodivski Lakes and used to hang out her laundry on the terraces of Momin Dvor.

Asteroid impact prediction is the prediction of the dates and times of asteroids impacting Earth, along with the locations and severities of the impacts. The process of impact prediction follows three major steps: Discovery of an asteroid and initial assessment of its orbit which is generally based on a short observation arc of less than 2 weeks. Follow up observations to improve the orbit determination Calculating if, when and where the orbit may intersect with Earth at some point in the future. In addition, although not strictly part of the prediction process, once an impact has been predicted, an appropriate response needs to be made. Most asteroids are discovered by a camera on a telescope with a wide field of view. Image differencing software compares a recent image with earlier ones of the same part of the sky, detecting objects that have moved, brightened, or appeared. Those systems usually obtain a few observations per night, which can be linked up into a very preliminary orbit determination. This predicts approximate positions over the next few nights, and follow up can then be carried out by any telescope powerful enough to see the newly detected object. Orbit intersection calculations are then carried out by two independent systems, one (Sentry) run by NASA and the other (NEODyS) by ESA. Current systems only detect an arriving object when several factors are just right, mainly the direction of approach relative to the Sun, the weather, and phase of the Moon. The result is a low overall rate of success (around 1%) which is worse the smaller the objects are. A few near misses by medium-size asteroids have been predicted years in advance, with a tiny chance of actually striking Earth, and a handful of small actual impactors have successfully been detected hours in advance. All of the latter struck wilderness or ocean, and hurt no one. The majority of impacts are by small, undiscovered objects. They rarely hit a populated area, but can cause widespread damage when they do. Performance is improving in detecting smaller objects as existing systems are upgraded, and new ones come on line, but the blind spot issue which all current systems face around the Sun can only be overcome by a dedicated space based system or by discovering objects on a previous approach to Earth many years before a potential impact. History In 1992 a report to NASA recommended a

Facilities to aid education were added in 1954, a swimming pool in 1959 and a chaplains residence in 1972. External conservation work was undertaken to repair deterioration on the verandah bays that was completed by Hurst and Kennedy architects in 1977. The Good Samaritan Order remained in ownership of Tempe Estate for over 100 years and in 1989 sold it to Qantek, a branch of Qantas. 1990 saw a Permanent Conservation order established for Tempe Estate, including the house and surrounding grounds to the riverfront. The landscape was deemed to be of greater significance than the buildings associated with the Good Samaritan Order and subsequently, they were demolished with the exception of the Chapel and the iron fencing. The property passed possession from Qantek to Interciti Arncliffe Developments Pty. Ltd in 2000, who have carried out staged high density development over the southern part of the former estate around a new railway station. Description Tempe house covers twelve (12) acres, subdivided into twelve (12) lots, and is confined on all sides by a rail line, the Cooks River, the Princes Highway and an industrial area, the building remains largely intact and is constructed from traditional bearing walls, timber floors and roof framing. The house is symmetrically detailed utilizing classic motifs. Tempe house stands amongst a scenic garden setting depicted as an ideal "Arcadian" landscape, with a long looped carriageway. The grounds are of exceptional importance for their ability to demonstrate close adherence to early nineteenth century design principles, including the modified natural element Mt Olympus - an unusual example of a detached shrubbery, and for surviving early fabric - walling, gateposts and sundial. They are important for their association for one hundred years with the Sisters of the Good Samaritan and for their framework of mature plantings, particularly the early Olea europaea subsp. europaea. The group of eucalypts on Mount Olympus has value in providing evidence of the natural vegetation on the site. Mount Olympus and the group of eucalypts which, as a group, are rare on a local level. These are an identifiable natural landmark on the Princes Highway. Mt. Olympus is a small hill on the eastern side of Tempe House, adjoining (on the south side of) the Cook's River. Immediately east of Mt. Olympus is the Princes Highway. Immediately south of it is an access road and high rise blocks of flats built since 2002. The results

Quadrangle The Hollows Quadrangle Selective Living Groups Duke consists of several undergraduate "Selective Living Groups," which operate as an alternative to the Duke House Model and Greek Life. Each selective group has a specific theme, and is open to students who meet certain criteria. Greek Organization Living Sections Duke provides housing accommodations to Greek Organizations (both Fraternities and Sororities) which meet university criteria, known commonly as "House Sections." The Greek Organizations are not clustered on one quad, for example Duke's Sigma Alpha Epsilon (ΣΑΕ) has its section in Craven House Y whereas Duke's Sigma Nu (ΣΝ) fraternity has its section in university annex housing. No Greek Organizations have housing on Duke's East Campus. Transportation The overall shape of Duke University in Durham is bar-bell shaped, with two ends of West Campus and East Campus. Duke provides regular transportation services to connect students between the two campuses (known commonly as the "C1").

War, a ten-part, eighteen hour documentary that aired on PBS, for example, included personal stories from both U.S. and Vietnamese participants in the war. Even Aimee Phan notes, expectations for the documentary were high because Burns' approach to the topic was going to be different as the producers were aiming to be more inclusive in their documentary, including multiple perspectives and sides of the war, both from South Vietnamese and North Vietnamese soldiers and civilians. However, Phan further notes that she was disappointed with the documentary because Burns and Novick, who both directed the documentary, seemed to re-center the narrative back to "its shiny centers: the white American soldier and his complex feelings of fear, hatred, guilt and remorse." The narrative becomes historically normative, canonical, excluding other perspectives and voices that are considered otherized or othered. Phan further critiques the documentary, asserting:The little coverage these other voices receive does little to right the balance. Like nearly every movie or book about the war, Vietnamese lives remains in the background, no matter that it is their land, homes and people the war is destroying. American prisoners of war receive significant airtime, while the aftermath of the war and the refugee experience are hardly acknowledged. Little respect is paid to the Vietnamese voices, which are diverse and complicated, and communicate as much pain and regret as the Americans'.Linda Trinh Võ shares a similar perspective, noticing that whenever she hears anything about the "Vietnam War" in the media, the references are almost never about Vietnamese or Vietnamese-Americans. Because of stereotypes and caricatures created by Western media such as the categorical label of FOB (fresh off the boat), Vietnamese and Vietnamese-Americans find it difficult to situate themselves into their own narratives, theories, research, teachings, or pedagogies. In many cases, they dissociate themselves from their own identities or are completely excluded from their own cultural and historical narratives, which is often an exclusionary practice within academia. In an op-ed titled, "The Great Vietnam War Novel Was Not Written by an American," published by The New York Times, Viet Thanh Nguyen, author of The Sympathizer and The Refugees argues that several works written by Vietnamese-Americans are often ignored by "the American and Vietnamese mainstream." Nguyen specifically mentions Bao Ninh's novel The Sorrow of War, which Nguyen considers a "North Vietnamese war classic" is a "worthy" historical based novel that is often ignored in mainstream historical canon.

plebiscite were thus questioned before the Philippine Supreme Court in what came to be known as the Plebiscite Cases (Planas v. COMELEC (1973)), and the legality of the 1973 Constitution questioned in what came to be known as the Ratification Cases (Javellana v. Executive Secretary). In the Ratification Cases, six of the 10 members of the court (the Chief Justice, and Justices Makalintal, Zaldivar, Castro, Fernando, and Teehankee) said that the 1973 Constitution had not been ratified validly. But Justices Makalintal and Castro said that the people had acquiesced to the 1973 Constitution whether or not the ratification was valid, saying that the question of whether the Constitution could be invalidated was a political determination and not a judicial one. The Constitution was thus effectively upheld. Marcos would continue to rule as a dictator until being ousted by the People Power Revolution in 1986.

case entering the country of Uganda undetected among the numerous refugees then coming from the DRC. On 20 September, Uganda indicated it was ready for immediate vaccination, should the Ebola virus be detected in any individual. On 21 September, officials of the DRC indicated a confirmed case of EVD at Lake Albert, an entry point into Uganda, though no cases were then confirmed within Ugandan territory. On 2 November, it was reported that the Ugandan government would start vaccinating health workers along the border with the DRC as a proactive measure against the virus. Vaccinations started on 7 November, and by 13 June 2019, 4,699 health workers at 165 sites had been vaccinated. Proactive vaccination was also carried out in South Sudan, with 1,471 health workers vaccinated by 7 May 2019. On 2 January 2019, it was reported that refugee movement from the DRC to Uganda had increased after the presidential elections. On 12 February, it was reported that 13 individuals had been isolated due to their contact with a suspected Ebola case in Uganda; lab results came back negative several hours later. On 11 June 2019, the WHO reported that the virus had spread to Uganda. A 5-year-old Congolese boy entered Uganda on the previous Sunday with his family to seek medical care. On 12 June, the WHO reported that the 5-year-old patient had died, while 2 more cases of Ebola infection within the same family were also confirmed. On 14 June it was reported that there were 112 contacts since EVD was first detected in Uganda. Ring vaccination of Ugandan contacts was scheduled to start on 15 June. As of 18 June 2019, 275 contacts had been vaccinated per the Uganda Ministry of Health. On 14 July, an individual entered the country of Uganda from DRC while symptomatic for EVD; a search for contacts in Mpondwe followed. On 24 July, Uganda marked the needed 42 day period without any EVD cases to be declared Ebola-free. On 29 August, a 9-year-old Congolese girl became the fourth individual in Uganda to test positive for EVD when she crossed from the DRC into the district of Kasese. Tanzania In regards to possible EVD cases in Tanzania, the WHO stated on 21 September 2019 that "to date, the clinical details and the results of the investigation, including laboratory tests performed for differential diagnosis of these patients, have not been shared with WHO.

Alien Swirling Saucers is a spinning ride at Toy Story Land in Disney's Hollywood Studios. First announced at the 2015 D23 Expo, it opened on June 30, 2018, as part of the area's opening. Alien Swirling Saucers uses the same ride system that powers Disney California Adventure Park's Mater's Junkyard Jamboree and Tokyo Disneyland's The Happy Ride With Baymax. The ride system shares similarities to the classic "Cuddle Up" ride from Philadelphia Toboggan Company and the classic Whip ride from William F. Mangels. It was manufactured by Zamperla. The attraction is themed as a play set that Andy won at Pizza Planet. In 2018, it was announced that it would be constructed in Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris as a part of its 2-billion-dollar expansion.

Frederick Hilmer Rohr (10 May 1896 — 8 November 1965) was a German-American entrepreneur and engineer who founded Rohr Aircraft, the world's leading manufacturer of aerostructures in the mid-20th century. Rohr pioneered new methods of aircraft production, including the use of drop hammers, stainless steel honeycomb construction, and overpressed forming processes which radically increased the aviation industry's overall output, critical to the Allied war effort in the Second World War. Moreover, Rohr's company was the first to sell combined engine and casing packages to major airplane manufacturers like Convair or Lockheed, which previously constructed the components in-house. Headquartered in Chula Vista, Rohr was principally responsible for the city's growth during the 20th century. Biography Frederick Hilmer Rohr was born on 10 May 1896 in Hoboken, New Jersey, where his father, Henry Gustav Rohr, had recently arrived from Germany. Looking to market his skills in working with sheet metal, Henry Rohr migrated westward with his family in 1898 and founded a metalworking shop in San Francisco. Frederick Rohr grew up working in his father's shop, learning the trade while pursuing an independent engineering education through night school and correspondence courses. After serving with the U.S. Navy in the First World War, Rohr spent a few years toying with aircraft in Fresno before moving to San Diego in 1924 to open the Standard Sheet Metal Works. Within a year he was hired as sheet metal foreman by the Ryan Aeronautical Company, which, after its acquisition by Frank Mahoney in 1926, was commissioned by Charles Lindbergh to build the 'Spirit of St. Louis' for his seminal transatlantic flight. Rohr not only handled all of the aircraft's sheet metal components, but engineered the specially strengthened fuel tanks required to sustain the plane's 33 1/2 hr flight through turbulent skies. In 1928, after Mahoney sold Ryan Aeronautical, Rohr became Factory Manager for the Solar Aircraft Company, where he replaced the time-consuming process of manually hammering metal sheets into desired shapes with mechanized drop hammers. This innovation, allowing workers to simply place the metal beneath a falling piston-powered cylinder, so impressed aircraft producers that Rohr was invited to introduce the machines at Boeing Airplane Company's Seattle plant, where he became a consulting engineer in 1933. He returned to San Diego two years later to take a position as Factory Manager for Ryan Aeronautical. All the while Rohr had designs upon a company of his own, inspired

Catherine Hill Bay Catherine Hill Bay was the only ocean jetty port on the northern coalfields. Coal from the Wallarah Colliery was loaded here for Sydney and Newcastle. By using an ocean jetty, this colliery could exploit the coal seams of Lake Macquarie, without ships needing to enter the Swansea Channel. The port could still be dangerous, under unfavourable weather conditions, and some ships came to grief there. Over the life of the port, there were three jetties. The second jetty was destroyed by a storm, in 1974, and replaced with a jetty of concrete and steel construction. It was the last port used by the coastal coal trade in 2002. Coal was last loaded for the short trip to Newcastle, where it was loaded for export. The Wallarah Collliery closed in the same year. Southern Coalfields — Illawarra Region Although lying much closer to Sydney, the southern coalfields were not developed early, due to the absence of any natural port. Coal in the southern coalfields was generally more easily won than in the northern field. The coal outcropped in sea cliffs or part way up the Illawarra Escarpment and adit mining was feasible. Adits were less costly to construct and operate than the shafts and sloping drifts of the northern coalfields. The southern coalfields could be worked profitably, if the problem of shipping could be solved. The absence of a suitable port held back development of the southern mines, until around 1849 when the Mt Kiera mine opened. Coal from the southern coal fields, at various times, was loaded at Wollongong Harbour and Port Kembla and at the ocean jetty ports: Bellambi; Coalcliff; Hicks Point at Austinmer; and Sandon Point, Bulli. Port Kembla was originally an ocean jetty port but two breakwaters were added later to provide shelter. Loading at the southern coalfield jetty ports typically used four-wheel wagons with hoppers fixed to the frames, which were tipped into chutes that led to high staithes from which the collier alongside the jetty or wharf was loaded. At Wollongong Harbour only, some loading was done by crane using wagons with removable hoppers, similar in concept to the ones used in the northern coalfields. After 1915, four-wheel bottom dump wagons were

The Silence was "a dull retread of ideas explored more interestingly in other films and TV shows", and went on to say, "'The Silence' is barely a horror movie, and that's its biggest problem. A horror movie needs stakes, and you just never feel them here." Social commentary Deaf portrayal Hearing actress Kiernan Shipka plays the lead character, a deaf teenager who battles monsters. Shipka learned some parts of American Sign Language for the role, and director John R. Leonetti said in an interview, "She learned to sign for the film, and now she's flawless, like she's been signing her entire life. She seems to have an almost innate sense of what it's like being a deaf person." Deaf celebrities Nyle DiMarco and Marlee Matlin and other members of the deaf community criticized Leonetti for saying that Shipka learning to sign was synonymous with knowing the culturally deaf experience and for undermining deaf representation by casting a hearing actor. DiMarco also criticized Shipka's ASL grammar, and others pointed out plot holes related to her character being deaf. Comparison to A Quiet Place The Silence was compared to A Quiet Place, a 2018 horror film with a similar premise. The novel The Silence was published in 2015, and filming of the adaptation took place in 2017, at the same time as A Quiet Place. While The Silence was acquired by a distributor, it was not released in theaters and was later picked up by Netflix. Quartzs Adam Epstein said while the parallel productions were coincidental, he compared The Silence to mockbusters (low-budget films that exploit blockbusters), highlighting that one of its screenwriters, Shane Van Dyke, wrote several scripts for The Asylum, a studio that specializes in mockbusters. The novel's author Tim Lebbon admitted that the two films' similarities are "a little troubling" and defended the film adaptation of his novel, "There are similarities, of course, but I'm confident that the movie of The Silence will stand on its own." The Guardians Charles Bramesco called The Silence "a shoddy remix" of A Quiet Place and said, "The Silence exists for the sole purpose of being digitally sorted into a list of recommendations For Viewers Who Liked Bird Box, though that classification would be more accurately clocked as For Viewers Who Liked A Quiet Place... the demographic they're really after would be something closer to Viewers Who Have Trouble Telling Similar Things Apart."
