Ghost represents a musical departure from Ferreira's earlier work, which explored more prominent elements of dance-pop. She collaborated with producers including Ariel Rechtshaid, Greg Kurstin, Jon Brion, Dev Hynes, and Blake Mills to achieve her desired sound. Their efforts resulted in a primarily synth-pop record, although it differs from her earlier work in that it sees additional influences from acoustic, indie pop and new wave music.

The title track "Ghost" presents similar lyrical content and production as the opening track, although it is differentiated by its subtle use of background electric guitars; Marvilli opined that "synths sparkle against Ferreira's sly vocals and the pulsing beat pounds away in the background."Red Lips" was co-written by Shirley Manson, and was compared to material recorded by her band Garbage;Everything Is Embarrassing" was described as "moving firmly into New Wave territory"

Nawrahta Minye

Nawrahta Minye (Burmese: နော်ရထာ မင်းရဲ, pronounced [nɔ̀jətʰà mɪ́ɰ̃ jɛ́]; also Anawrahta II of Sagaing) was king of Sagaing for seven months in 1349. He reversed his predecessor Kyaswa's policy of peace with Sagaing's cross-river rival Pinya although no war broke out. He was succeeded by his younger brother Tarabya II.

Brief

Minye was the third child of Queen Saw Hnaung and King Saw Yun of Sagaing. He was a grandson of kings Thihathu of Pinya and Kyawswa of Pagan. His father died about three months after his birth. Because the elder brother Kyaswa was not yet four, their half-uncle Tarabya I succeeded the throne, and raised Saw Hnaung as his chief queen.Mindon, deep inside Pinya's territory after their half-cousin Shwetaungtet seized the throne.Nanda Pakyan until their cover was blown and brought back to Sagaing in 1339.

Kyaswa reigned for the next nine plus years. Minye likely played no more than a nominal role in his brother's administration since Nanda Pakyan actually ran the country.Hsinbyushin ("Lord of the White Elephant").

His reign lasted just over seven months. He may have reversed Kyaswa's policy of peace with Sagaing's cross-river rival Pinya. He gave sanctuary to Gov. Nawrahta of Pinle who was fleeing from his elder brother King Kyawswa I of Pinya.Tarabya II.

Ghost 2


Ghost (Devin Townsend Project album)

Ghost 2

Ghost 2 was an album intended for release in September 2011. As Ghost was originally to be a double album, but ultimately released as a single disc, Ghost 2 would have included tracks that weren't released on Ghost. Townsend has stated that these tracks were "too dark" and "heavier" than the rest of Ghost and therefore didn't fit with the intended vibe. On August 22, 2012, Townsend officially cancelled Ghost 2, saying, "I tried to finish Ghost 2 the other day, but it's not solid enough. Doesn't engage. Going to use the best bits and art for elements of Z²."Casualties of Cool.

Norinco NHM 91

The NHM-91 is a semi-automatic civilian development of the Russian Kalashnikov AKM and RPK infantry small arm built by Norinco of China and marketed in the U.S. by China Sports Inc. of Ontario, California (CSI Ont, CA).

Background

A civilian semi-auto variant of the Chinese Type 56 assault rifle, the NHM-91 was built to imitate the appearance of the Russian RPK light machine gun. First imported and marketed in the United States in 1991 by ChinaSports Inc., NHM-91's were modified to meet the requirements of a 1989 Executive Order by President George H. W. Bush prohibiting importation of certain 'assault rifle' configurations of military-style semi-automatic rifles such as the Norinco AKM/AK-47. These modifications included a one-piece U.S.-made thumbhole stock to replace the separate Chinese-made buttstock and pistol grip of the original AKM/RPK rifle and the inclusion of a rivet on the receiver preventing use of standard AK-47, RPK, or AKM magazines. All Chinese rifles were banned under the 1994 Clinton administration or AWB Ban and no Chinese AK variants were allowed to be imported.

Features

Based on the Russian RPK light machine gun, the NHM features a stronger receiver and a longer, thicker-profile chrome-lined barrel measuring 20 inches (508mm) compared to the 590 mm (23.2 in) of the original RPK, along with a forward-mounted steel bipod.


Norinco NHM 91

Like the RPK, the NHM-91 utilizes a heavier-gauge stamped sheet metal receiver built from 1.5mm-thick stamped sheet metal instead of the 1mm thickness typical of a Soviet or European AKM. Other Chinese-made AKM rifles such as the MAK 90 and NHM 90 have thicker receivers as well, resulting in increased rigidity, heavier weight, and improved overall accuracy. The MAK 90 rifles may have either a straight cut stamped receiver or a slant cut stamped receiver. Both were imported after the 1989 ban with thumb hole stocks. The MAK 91 has the long barrel as well, but features a milled, slant cut receiver. The longer, heavier barrel reduces shot dispersion and gives the NHM-91 and MAK 91 rifles a longer sight radius, again resulting in improved accuracy over the typical semi-auto AKM. Trigger pull weight is also lighter than other AK designs, and some users report the rifle capable of 2-2.5 minutes of angle accuracy or better with factory 7.62×39mm ammunition.

All post ban rifle stocks on the NHM-91 are of a one-piece thumbhole design with integral pistol grip, and are thicker and longer than the standard AKM/AK-47 buttstock. Made by E.C. Bishop or Boydbirch wood or hackberry, the NHM-91 buttstock lacks a separate pistol grip,band saw, then fitting a new pistol grip. Like its RPK counterpart, the NHM-91 does not come equipped from the factory with a bayonet lug. However, on post ban models, the front of the barrel is threaded and capped off with a thread protector welded onto the threads or the threads are deleted altogether. By removing the thread protector, a muzzle brake can be fitted.

Some factory NHM-91 rifles were manufactured with a rivet in the magazine release button, preventing use of some Soviet or German-made AKM or AK-47 magazines. Instead, special magazines with a modified tang were manufactured by Norinco for the NHM-91. Since the sunset of the 1994 Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act, removal of the rivet in the receiver and magazine release allows use of any and all AKM, RPK, or AK-47 magazines.

Painted enigma

Originally used by Jesuits as a learning aid for students, painted enigmas are visual riddles - generally speaking, a picture with an easily understood superficial subject that contains a hidden meaning, usually one word. This differed from similar visual riddles such as the emblem or hieroglyph (Horapollo's "Hieroglyphica" for instance)which were simpler in design and intended to represent moral precepts. The emblem and painted enigma were similar in that each usually contained some clue that the composition contained a hidden meaning, usually a "written legend which might be a verbal riddle or rebus to be solved by the same word,or a simple epigrammatic motto such as constituted the 'soul' of the emblem." First developed at the Jesuit college Pont a Mousson in 1588, it developed into an erudite courtly entertainment by the seventeenth century.

The earliest verifiable painted enigmas from this era were painted by Charles Le Brun.

Samanya Upanishads

Samanya Upanishads or Samanya Vedanta Upanishads are minor Upanishads of Hinduism that are of a generic nature. They were composed later and are classified separate from the thirteen major Principal Upanishads considered to be more ancient and connected to the Vedic tradition.

The Samanya Upanishad as group contrast with other minor Upanishads grouped as the Yoga Upanishads which are related to Yoga, the Sannyasa Upanishads which are related to Hindu renunciation and monastic practice, the Shaiva Upanishads which are related to Shaivism, the Vaishnava Upanishads which are related to Vaishnavism, and the Shakta Upanishads which are related to Shaktism.

The Samanya Vedanta Upanishads are variously classified, ranging from a list of 21 to 24.Shvetashvatara Upanishad; 24. Maitrayaniya Upanishad; and 25. Kaushitaki Upanishad. If these three are included as Samanya Upanishads, the list of Principal Upanishads shrinks to ten. Many scholars, however, consider the Principal Upanishads to be thirteen.

Nomenclature

The term samanya literally means "generic, universal".

Date

The Principal Upanishads are dated to be between eighth and first century BCE, the estimates for the minor Upanishads vary. According to Mahony, the minor Upanishads are approximately dated to be from about 100 BC to 1100 AD.

Shusha Realni School

Shusha Realni School (Russian: Шушинское реальное училище; Azerbaijani: Şuşa real məktəbi; Armenian: Շուշիի ռեալական դպրոցShusha, Azerbaijan, in the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh. The school's building phase was completed in 1881. The school stopped its work following the capture of Shusha by Armenian forces in 1992 and now lies in a ruined state.

History

Establishment

In the 19th century, new types of schools began to appear in the region that makes up modern-day Azerbaijan. During this period, there was only one main school in Baku, and one classical gymnasium in Ganja. This changed after the demand for education in the region grew, two schools were no longer sufficient thus prompting the population of the city to appeal to the Petersburg-Caucasian committee. The appeal stated:

"Ganja governor requests to open a sixth-grade real school in Shusha city, based on the willingness and demand of the residents to study (Studying more than 400 students at City School reaffirms this initiative once more) and the desire of the city community. The city community is committed to providing the school with the appropriate building and helping with 7500 manats a year. "

The efforts of the local population led to the foundation of the school in Shusha on September 20, 1881.

19th and 20th centuries

In 1890, a representative of the Caucasian Ministry of education brought Ziaaddovla Anishirəvan, Mirza Qajar, and anthropologist Shantr. This arrival piqued the interest of the students, which lowered the percentage of absence at the school to 7.64%. The school was an open-minded establishment which promoted the acquisition of languages other than Azerbaijani. In 1890, contrary to the Tbilisi schools, German was not forced upon the students, but the choice to learn it was made available.


Shusha Realni School

Mirza Salah bey Zohrabbeyov, Yusif bey Malikhaqnazarov, Hashim bey Vazirov, were part of the well-known educators of the time, who taught in the School. The two famous Azerbaijani writers Abdurrahim bey Hagverdiyev and Yusif Vazir Chamanzaminli were amongst the students who enrolled at the Shusha Realni School.

Current status

The state of the school has steadily deteriorated following the capture of Shusha by Armenian forces in 1992. It currently lies in a ruined state.

Nawrūz (Mongol emir)

Nawrūz (Persian: نوروز; died 13 August 1297) was a son of governor Arghun Aqa, and was a powerful Oirat emir of the 13th century who played an important role in the politics of the Mongol Ilkhanate.

Early career

He inherited his father's administrative job in Khorasan and was listed as emir and son-in-law of Abaqa in medieval chroniclers' works.Arghun against Teküder in 1284 and was rewarded by being atabeg of his 13-year-old son Ghazan and Prince Kingshü (son of Jumghur) as Ghazan's subordinate in Khorasan thanks to the new kingmaker Buqa. He held this powerful position of being the autonomous de facto ruler of Khorasan until Arghun Khan's arrest of Buqa.

Rebellion

Hearing of the arrival of an Ilkhanate army towards Khorasan, Nawrūz led a revolt against Arghun, possibly proclaiming Hulachu (son of Hulagu) and Kingshü (who seems to have died or been executed sometime during the revolt) as new ilkhan,Mazandaran in 1289. He gained his second victory over Prince Ghazan near Radkan, forcing him to go back to Mazandaran. In the autumn of 1289, he had to face a new army sent by Arghun under the leadership of Nurin Aqa – emir of Iraq and Prince Baydu.Jam and lost territories. Nawruz followed a scorching earth strategy in the winter in order to halt the advance of Ilkhan's armies, which proved effective when Baydu returned West with half of his army in 1290. Using this opportunity, Nawruz crossed the Oxus and fled the Ilkhanate. He joined KaiduÖgedeid retinue. He was appointed as governor of Badakhshan by Kaidu and minted coins in his name.


Nawrūz (Mongol emir)

In 1291 Nawruz invaded Khorasan with Ögedeid armies along with Sarban and Ebugen – sons of Kaidu – reaching Mashhad. Arghun's death in 1291 created more room for maneuver to Nawruz who laid siege to different parts of the province.Kadan's grandson Ürük Temür, giving his daughter to him in marriage and sponsoring his conversion to Islam. With a new Borjigid puppet-prince, Nawruz issued yarlighs, but this proved ineffective as well, since Ürük Temür rejoined Kaidu after a while.

Rise and fall under Ghazan

Nawruz pledged to raise Ghazan to the throne after Gaykhatu's death on the condition of his conversion to Islam. Managing to gain the loyalty of emirs like Taghachar, Chupan, Irinjin and Qurumushi, Nawruz ensured Ghazan's victory over Baydu in 1295.naib of the state by Ghazan after his coronation. Nawruz appointed his brothers, Lagzi Güregen to watch over financial issues and Hajji Narin to oversee divan. As a fervent adherent to Islam;Bar Sawma's voyages and Mar Yaballaha III's Patriarchal tenure portrays him as a ferocious enemy of Nestorian Christians. With Islam being the new state religion, Nawruz ordered all Buddhist and Christian temples to be destroyed or converted to mosques.

Nawruz headed Ghazan's army against Chagatai khan Duwa's invasion of Khorasan in 1295. However the Ilkhanid prince Sogai (son of Yoshmut) refused to join the campaign in Khorasan, believing this was a plot of Nawruz to further deprive nobility of their possessions. Nawruz informed Ghazan of this plot and he subsequently executed him.Arghun Aqa. Soon he was accused of treason by Sadr al-Din Khaladi, sahib-divan of Ghazan by forming a secret alliance with Mamluks. Indeed, according to Mamluk sources, Nawruz corresponded with Sultan Lajin.


Nawrūz (Mongol emir)

Using this opportunity Ghazan started a purge against Nawruz and his followers in May 1297. His brother Hajji Narin and his follower Satalmish were executed along with Nawruz's children in Hamadan, his other brother Lagzi Güregen was also put to death in Iraq on 2 April 1297. His 12-year-old son Toghai was spared due to the efforts of Bulughan Khatun Khurasani, Ghazan's wife Arghun Aqa's granddaughter and given to the household of Amir Husayn. Others spared were his brother Yol Qutluq and his nephew Kuchluk.

Emir Kutlushah was ordered to pursue Nawruz and kill him. Kutlushah's armies defeated Nawruz near Jam and Nishapur. Following these defeats, Nawrūz took refuge at the court of the malik Fakhr al-Din of Herat, in northern Afghanistan, but the latter betrayed him and delivered him to Qutluqshah, who had him executed immediately on 13 August 1297,Baghdad.

Family

He was a son of Arghun Aqa and a woman called Sürmish and had offspring by several wives. Known issue:

  * Toghanchuq Khatun (d. 1291) — daughter of Abaqa and Kawkabi Egachi

Réunion bulbul

The Réunion bulbul (Hypsipetes borbonicus) is a species of the bulbul family of passerine birds. It is endemic to Réunion.

Taxonomy and systematics

The Réunion bulbul was originally described in the genus Turdus. Formerly, some authorities also considered the Mauritius bulbul to be a subspecies of the Réunion bulbul.Bourbon thrush, olivaceous bulbul, Réunion black bulbul and Réunion merle.

Description

The appearance of the Réunion bulbul is similar to that of the Mauritius bulbul but is slightly smaller with a length of 22 cm. It is ashy gray with a blackish crest and the iris is conspicuously white. The bill and feet have an orange hue.

Behaviour and ecology

Breeding

The female lays two eggs in a cup-shaped nest during the southern summer.

Food and feeding

The Réunion bulbul is primarily frugivorous. In February and March, it moves from areas of higher elevation, where it inhabits humid secondary forests, to lower valleys to feed on ripe guavas. Nectar, insects and small lizards enrich its range of food.

Threats

Although assessed as a species Near Threatened by the IUCN, the Réunion bulbul is no longer a common bird, mainly due to poaching and competition from the introduced red-whiskered bulbul. In the earlier days of the settlement of Réunion it was hunted for food on a large scale, and was considered as tasty as the ortolan bunting (Emberiza hortulana). As late as the 1970s it was hunted excessively. It is also kept as a pet.

Painted francolin

The painted francolin or painted partridge (Francolinus pictus) is a species of francolin found in grassy areas in central and southern India and in the lowlands of southeastern Sri Lanka. They are easily detected by their loud calls especially during the breeding season. Thomas C. Jerdon noted that the species was found mainly in Central India south of the Narmada and to the east of the Western Ghats as well as the Chota Nagpur and Northern Circars.black francolin with which it partly overlaps and is said to sometimes hybridize. This species can be told apart from a black francolin female by the lack of a rufous hind collar and the white spots on the underside. The face is rufous and there is no dark stripe running behind the eye.

Description

This species is endemic to the Indian subcontinent. It is distributed patchily from Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh south into peninsular India (but not along the Malabar coast and rare south of Coimbatoreblack francolin along its northern

The species was described by P. J. Selby based on a specimen obtained by his nephew John Atherton of Bangalore (commemorated in Nyctyornis athertoni). The type locality has been designated as Bangalore although the specimen likely came from further north.

Three subspecies have been named. The nominate population are from Central and South India south of 20°N while to the north is the form pallidus (type locality Udaipur). This form is paler on the upperparts.watsoni.Sri Lanka it has a restricted distribution and is found from the Uvala patinas east to the low-country of Nilgala and Bibile.

Populations change during and after the monsoons, and hunters have been known to capture nearly 300 from some areas.

Distribution and habitat

The distribution of this species is to the south of the range of the black francolin. It is found patchily distributed in semi-dry undulating grasslands with scrub or cultivation. It is found in drier areas than the black francolin but wetter zones than the grey francolin.

They are not easy to spot but become vocal during the breeding season after the Monsoons, from June to October. The call is made in the early morning and has been described as guttural broken crow "chee-kee-kerray- Chee-kee-kerray" which is answered by other birds in the vicinity. A preliminary click may be heard when at close range. It is usually seen calling from an elevated position such as a mound, bush or tree stump.

They feed on grass seeds (including Brachiaria ramosa) as well as grains of cultivated rice. Beetles and other insects are also eaten.Cyperus rotundus.

When walking around it sometimes has the habit of cocking up its tail and when disturbed it usually freezes and flushes only when approached very close. It roosts in trees and sometimes also on the ground.

Naevia gens

Denarius of Gaius Naevius Balbus, 79 BC. The obverse depicts Venus, the patron goddess of Sulla, while Victoria drives a triga on the reverse, alluding to Sulla's victory games.

The gens Naevia, occasionally written Navia, was a plebeian or patrician family at ancient Rome. Members of this gens are first mentioned at the time of the Second Punic War, but the first of the Naevii to obtain the consulship was Lucius Naevius Surdinus, in AD 30.

Origin

The nomen Naevius is generally regarded as a patronymic surname derived from the praenomen Gnaeus, indicating a birthmark.Gnaeus and naevus, the usual form of the Latin word for a birthmark, were pronounced similarly, and a number of other Latin words could be spelled with either gn- or n-, such as gnatus and natus, "born".

Branches and cognomina

In the time of the Republic, the principal cognomina of the Naevii were Balbus and Matho.Balbus, a common surname, originally signified one who stammers.Matho as a borrowing of the Greek Μαθων.Cicero stated that it was pronounced Mato, and sometimes spelled without an 'h'.Crista, Pollio, and Turpio, while Capella and Surdinus are found on coins.Crista refers to a crest or plume;Pollio is thought to mean "polisher", and to refer to the occupation of polishing arms.Turpio describes someone ugly, deformed, or foul.Capella refers to a she-goat, while Surdinus probably described someone who was deaf, hard of hearing, stubborn, or silent.

Réveil

The Réveil (French for "revival", "awakening") of 1814 was a revival movement within the Swiss Reformed Church of western Switzerland and some Reformed communities in southeastern France.

The supporters were also called pejoratively momiers. The movement was initially prompted by small Moravian communities implanted by earlier Moravian missionary efforts and much helped by British Presbyterians such as Robert Haldane or Henry Drummond, or Methodists such as Charles Cook;Free Church of Scotland moved over to the Continent after Napoleon's fall.

Among the leading personalities of the Réveil are Henri-Louis Empaytaz, César Malan, Louis Gaussen, Ami Bost, Henri Pyt, Antoine Jean-Louis Galland and Adolphe Monod as well as the controversial Barbara von Krüdener. Having accused the Protestant state church of apostasy from true Christianity, most of the Geneva momiers walked out of the State church in 1831 and set up the Evangelical Society in Geneva, with its own "preacher school" built in 1832. In 1848 the various dissident congregations united to form an evangelical Free Church (Église libre), which since then exists along to the established church (Église nationale). In the canton of Vaud was also formed a Reformed Free Church, whose spiritual father was Alexandre Vinet. In France, several regions were reached by the Réveil, including Paris where a very influential church, la Chapelle Taitbout, gathered numerous members of the high bourgeoisie and nobility of the time. Other preachers kept their activities to a given area such as Felix Neff, called the "Apostle of the Alps", who preached in mountain area in the border of France, Switzerland, and Piedmont, and among the Waldensians.

Historians of Réveil recognise that the movement had a deep influence on Protestantism in France and Switzerland. It has for instance been noted that French protestant clergy more than doubled its numbers from 305 in 1829 to 765 in 1843.Réveil modernised protestantism in many ways:


Réveil

* It created new institutions such as the singing of new hymns (instead of just using the Psalms), Sunday schools, Bible study classes or meetings, prayer meetings, etc.
  * It gave an enhanced position to women, who were sometimes key figures of the movement, such as Rosine de Chabaud-Latour,Catherine Booth-Clibborn, courageous founder of the Salvation Army in France and Switzerland.
  * It allowed protestant churches to adapt to rural exodus by opening new parishes in the cities.
  * It opened the door to Christianisme social and Réveil-inspired businessmen will be praised for their social efforts, including by Pope Paul VI, who will particularly name Daniel Legrand, a disciple of J. F. Oberlin.
  * It created a series of movements (such as scouts) which helped spread the Christian Protestant message across society, and it was a major influence on the early Red Cross movement.
  * It created foreign missions organisations, such as the Société des Missions évangéliques de Paris

The Franco-Swiss Réveil was contemporary and analogous to the German Erweckungsbewegung and shared the social concern of its leaders like J. F. Oberlin. A preacher influenced by the Réveil was the German-speaking Swiss minister Samuel Heinrich Froehlich founder of the Neutäufer in Europe and the Apostolic Christian Church in the United States. Many of the Continental "awakened" joined the Plymouth Brethren.

Opale (horse)

Opale (18 April 1980 – after 1992) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare. Unraced as a juvenile she won her first three races as a three-year-old in 1983 and later finished second in the Princess Royal Stakes. In the following year, she was placed in the Geoffrey Freer Stakes and won the Meld Stakes before recording her biggest success in the Irish St. Leger. On her final appearance, she was disqualified after finishing first in the Premio Roma. After her retirement from racing, she became a broodmare and produced several minor winners. Her last recorded foal was born in 1992.

Background

Opale was a "big, rangy"blaze and white socks on her hind legs bred in England by the Snailwell Stud. During her racing career, she was owned by Snailwell and trained by Alec Stewart in Newmarket, Suffolk.

Her sire Busted was the British Horse of the Year in 1967, when he won the Eclipse Stakes and the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes.Bustino and Mtoto. Opale's dam Conning Tower (also bred by Snailwell) won two minor races over one mile as a three-year-old in 1975.Workforce, Brian Boru and Qualify.

Racing career

1983: three-year-old season

Opale was unraced as a two-year-old and did not make her track debut until June 1983, when she won a maiden race over one and a half miles at Catterick Racecourse at odds of 50/1. She followed up by taking a minor event over the same distance at Wolverhampton in the following month and then returned in September to win a handicap race at Doncaster. On her next start, she sustained her first defeat as finished unplaced after her saddle slipped. On her final appearance of the season, she was stepped up in class for the Group 3 Princess Royal Stakes at Ascot Racecourse in October and finished second, one and a half lengths behind the favourite Sylph.

1984: four-year-old season


Opale (horse)

1984: four-year-old season

Opale began her second season in the Bessborough Stakes at Royal Ascot in which she finished fourth to the colt Sikorsky, to whom he was conceding 28 pounds in weight. A month later, she recorded her first win of the season, as she won easily in a handicap over the same course and distance. In August, she was moved up in class and distance and matched against male opposition in the Group 2 Geoffrey Freer Stakes over thirteen furlongs at Newbury Racecourse. She seemed unsuited by the slow pace and finished third behind Baynoun and Alphabatim. In September, she was sent to Ireland for the Brownstown Meld Stakes at the Curragh and won by half a length from Marble Run, who had previously finished third in the Irish Oaks. Later that month, she was again matched against male opponents in the Cumberland Lodge Stakes at Ascot and finished second to the gelding Bedtime, with Longboat in third.

In October at the Curagh, Opale was one of nine horses to contest the second running of the Irish St. Leger to be open to older horses. Her opponents include Yawa (Grand Prix de Paris), Centroline (Jockey Club Cup), the Vincent O'Brien-trained Empire Glory (Royal Whip Stakes), Arctic Lord (Blandford Stakes) and Flame of Tara (Coronation Stakes). Ridden by the American jockey Darrel McHargue, she was settled in fifth place as Empire Glory disputed the lead with his stablemate – The Miller. In the straight, the two O'Brien colts began to bump and barge each other, whilst Opale made steady progress on the outside. The British filly stayed on well, gained the advantage in the final strides, and won by a neck from Empire Glory. On her final appearance, Opale was sent to Italy for the Premio Roma at Capannelle Racecourse. She appeared to win the race entirely on merit, beating Yawa by a length, but was relegated to third place for causing interference in the straight.

Assessment

At the end of 1983, Opale was given a rating of 105 by the independent Timeform organisation and was described as being likely to be suited by longer distances and softer ground. In the British Free Handicap for three-year-olds, she was given a rating of 61, making her 30 pounds inferior to the top-rated filly Habibti.


Opale (horse)

In 1984, Opale was rated on 117 by Timeform, making her twelve pounds inferior to their best stayer Commanche Run, The official British Handicap rated her the sixth-best older female to race in Britain behind Cormorant Wood, Time Charter, Committed, Habibti and Sun Princess.

Breeding record

After her retirement from racing Opale became a broodmare for the Snailwell Stud. She produced at least six foals and four winners between 1986 and 1992:

  * Pale Glow, a grey filly, foaled in 1986, sired by Kalaglow. Unplaced on only start.
  * Pale Wine, bay colt, 1987, by Rousillon. Won one race.
  * Tenayestelign, grey filly, 1988, by Bellypha. Won two flat races and three National Hunt races.
