Reception

Michelle St. James (Shakefire.com) described LIVAN's music as "industrial pop punk/alt-rock" going on to say that it "sounds gritty, raw, and fun with crashing guitar and thumping bass lines".Kaiser Chiefs meets The The with vocals by a slumming Peter Murphy".Placebo and Nine Inch Nails.

Writing for the Associated Press, critic Wayne Parry said "Livan defies easy categorization. His voice has the snarl of Johnny Rotten and the exaggerated bass of Iggy Pop. His shaved head evokes Rob Halford, and his stage presence evokes Freddie Mercury, clad one night in hot pink spandex and combat boots, the next in a leather fringed kilt. And he rocks."

Running lights (theater)

In theater, running lights are any lights that the audience does not see, but are on during a performance. They are different from worklights which are not used during a show. One type of running light is the lights set in wings or crossovers for actors and technicians to find their way in the (mostly) dark. These are usually rope lights or traditional fixtures with a colored lamp or colored gel over them. Booth staff will also use running lights to illuminate control boards or scripts. One brand marketed for this specific purpose is LittLite. Cue lights are distinct from running lights.

Nike Flywire

"Flywire (shoes)" redirects here. For other uses, see Fly wire (disambiguation).

Nike Flywire is a thread, composed of vectran or nylon, developed by Nike to minimize weight and maximize support, and used in the upper part of a sneaker. Shoes containing Flywire became available for consumer purchase in 2008.

Development

Flywire was created by Jay Meschter, Director of Innovation at Nike.last and marking the key points of where a shoe needs to support the foot. When Meschter saw an embroidery machine, he determined the machine could be used to make long stitches. Long stitches allow lightweight fibers to support the foot in key points, instead of using layers of material that support the whole foot.

Nike designed Flywire with inspiration from a suspension bridge, where many cables provide support.metatarsus and toes) and heel. The cables are designed to wrap around the foot like tendons.

Vectran

Nike Lunaracer+ sneakers, with the vectran fibers behind and around the Nike logo

Nike adapts Vectran fibers, which are produced by Kuraray, into embroidery threads, before use in the shoe. Vectran fibers are thinner than human hair, and relatively inexpensive. Vectran is lightweight, flexible, and high in tensile strength, the stress at which material deforms (five times stronger than steelNASA and in bicycle tires, among other things.

Weight

Due to the Vectran fibers, shoes containing Nike Flywire weigh as little as 93 grams, "approximately the weight of a Snickers bar with a bite missing."Track spikes (running shoes with spikes added for traction) containing Flywire are now lighter than Michael Johnson's famous Golden Shoes of the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, Georgia. These spikes are so light that athletes claim they are like "a second skin" or "spikes coming out of their feet."Bill Bowerman tried to achieve as co-founder of Nike and a spike designer.

Royal Pump Rooms

This article is about the pump room and baths in Leamington Spa. For the former pump room and museum in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, see Royal Pump Room, Harrogate.

The Royal Pump Rooms is a cultural centre on the Parade in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, England. It was the most famous of several spa baths opened in Leamington between the late-18th and mid-19th centuries. People would travel from throughout the country, and indeed Europe, to benefit from treatments using the town's healing waters. When 'taking the waters' became less fashionable after the mid-19th century the Pump Rooms became Leamington's only surviving spa facility, later also being extended to include the town's public swimming pool. After a major redevelopment in 1997-99 the building now houses Leamington Spa Art Gallery & Museum, a public library, a Tourist Information Centre, cafe and assembly rooms. It is a Grade II listed building.

History

Background and beginnings

By the time that a spring had been found at the site of the rooms in 1811 Leamington already had a reputation as an up-and-coming spa resort. Six wells had been discovered south of the River Leam in and around the village.speculators developing land to the north of the river. It was decided by these men that they needed to find a spring on their side of the river so that they could erect a suitably grand building to match the town they aimed to develop. Another spring was found in 1811 on the land of Mr Bertie GreatheedThe Regent Hotel and the Upper Assembly Rooms in the town) in the Classical style.The New Pump Rooms and Baths was opened three years later in July 1814.

Within months of opening however the baths proved so popular that the building needed to be extended. The building was finally complete two years later in 1816. Including the wings at the north and south end the building was 166 feet long with 17 hot baths and 3 cold baths. The total development cost was a fraction under £18,000. One of the most interesting, although not at the time most famous or notable, parts of the development were the pumps which were manufactured by the engineering giants Boulton and Watt of Smethwick, Birmingham. It also included the world's first gravity fed piped hot water system in modern times, which was designed and installed in 1815 by the engineer William Murdoch.

Hard times

From the 1840s onwards the British spa town tourist industry began to wane thanks to the growing popularity of spas in continental Europe, notably Belgium and France. Faced with the decline in demand for spa health treatments the decision was made in 1860 to close the Pump Rooms with a view to demolishing them and selling the land. However a group of local investors clubbed together and bought the building in October 1861. After spending £17,000 refurbishing the building, including adding a Turkish Bath and swimming pool, the Pump Rooms re-opened in 1863.

However, it proved impossible to operate at a profit and it was sold to the Local Board of Health in 1868.public sector and in 1875 the Royal Pump Room Gardens next to the building were opened to the public under the management of George Elson.Newbold Comyn.

Redevelopment

After a number of different schemes to redevelop the Royal Pump Rooms had been considered, in 1997 work began on a major project to reuse it as a cultural complex. This opened after two years of redevelopment led by Warwick District Council in partnership with Warwickshire County Council, South Warwickshire Tourism Ltd and a catering company. The Leamington public library and public art gallery were relocated here from their former "Old Library" and annexe site on Avenue Road. The main swimming hall was used to house the library, the smaller swimming hall and Turkish Baths converted to house Leamington Spa Art Gallery & Museum.

Chemical analysis

A chemical analysis of the Pump Room water in 1914 drew attention to the highly saline constituency of the water. The salts were primarily sodium chloride, but with notable quantities of calcium sulphate, magnesium sulphate, calcium chloride and magnesium chloride. Overall the salinity totalled over 1.7%, around half the average salinity of seawater.

Popular culture

During the dormant 1990s period the video for the Mick Jagger song "Sweet Thing" was filmed in the baths.

Nike JOGA3

JOGA3, in full: Nike JOGA3, was a futsal tournament created in 2006 by American multinational corporation Nike for two main reasons. Firstly, it was for the run-up to the 2006 FIFA World Cup finals in Germany, and also, it was to help promote the "Joga Bonito" campaign (then less than two months old when JOGA3 started) and its five principles (heart, honour, joy, skill, team). JOGA3 was hosted in 39 different nations, with each nation having multiple cities/towns that hosted it, in which there were multiple locations in the cities/towns that hosted it. There was a National Finals for every country, and the winners earned a place at the World finals (in Brazil).

Overview

There were four categories: Under-20 male, Under-20 female, U-16 male, U-16 female. For the whole Under-20 category (aged 20–17, but with exceptions as young as 13), players qualifying to play in it must not have turned 21 by 31 August, 2006. For the whole of the Under-16 category (aged 16–13), players qualifying to play in it must not have turned 17 by 31 August, 2006. The minimum age for this category (and the whole JOGA3 tournament) was to be at least 13 years old.

Each JOGA3 game lasted for three minutes (excluding knock-out games that finish as a draw after the three minutes of normal time). It is winner-stays-on, and the losers have to officially get themselves in the JOGA3 order again (if they want to compete some more). If it is a draw, both teams leave the field.

For every win (including all knock-out games, but excluding all National and World Finals), 1,000 points (in the UK and ROI, other countries vary) were awarded. No points were awarded for a draw and a loss. Knock-out games in regional tournaments commenced at the end of the night, and the teams that went through were decided on a league system of the teams with the most point gained on the night advancing to the knock-out phase. All points gained at any time always went on the overall record as well.

R v Bourke

In Rex v Bourke,

Facts

The accused was charged before Mason J, and a jury at the Pretoria Criminal Sessions, with the crime of rape upon a European girl, of the age of ten years. It appeared from the evidence that the accused, at the time when he committed the crime, was under the influence of liquor.

The presiding judge, in directing the jury, asked them to answer the following questions: Did the accused commit

  * the crime of rape;
  * an attempt to commit rape; or
  * indecent assault?

The judge directed the jury that, if they answered one of the questions in the affirmative, they were also to answer the following question: Was the accused unconscious of what he was doing at the time he did it?

The jury brought in the following verdict: "We find the accused guilty of indecent assault but are strongly of opinion that at the time he was not responsible for his actions." The presiding judge thereupon asked the jury whether they meant that the accused was unconscious of what he was doing on account of being drunk at the time; the answer was "yes."

The matter then went to the Transvaal Provincial Division. The question reserved for that court was whether, upon this verdict, the accused should be acquitted or convicted or declared a criminal lunatic, under Proclamation 36 of 1902.

Argument

C. Barry, for the accused (at the request of the court), contended that the accused could not be declared a criminal lunatic, as in that case there must be a special finding of the jury as to his sanity or insanity. Drunkenness could mitigate the punishment.

CW de Villiers Attorney-General for the Crown, argued that the jury was not entitled to go into the question of the responsibility of the accused; they must determine only the facts. According to Roman Dutch Law, drunkenness is no defence to a crime; it can only mitigate the punishment.smoor dronkenschap, then not the ordinary punishment, but an extraordinary punishment, can be imposed.

Barry replied.

Judgment

The Transvaal Provincial Division held, on a point of law reserved, that the finding of the jury amounted to a verdict of guilty:


R v Bourke

If we admit the proposition that absolute drunkenness must be regarded as equivalent to insanity, we are logically driven to the conclusion that absolute drunkenness excuses a person from crime. Is it true that absolute drunkenness is equivalent to insanity? I submit not. The essential difference between a drunken person and one who is insane is that the former as a rule voluntarily induces his condition, whilst the latter is, as a rule, the victim of disease. It is therefore not unreasonable to consider that the person who voluntarily becomes drunk is responsible for all such acts as flow from his having taken an excess of liquor. It may conflict with our doctrine that a man who does an act when unconscious does so without mens rea, but, according to our law, logic has here to give way to expediency, because, in practice, to allow drunkenness to be pleaded as an excuse would lead to a state of affairs repulsive to the community. It would follow that the regular drunkard would be more immune from punishment than the sober man. This was in the mind of Damhouder when he said that drunkenness does not excuse because otherwise men would plead their own wrongdoing in excuse for their crimes.

That was Wessels J. The other two judges agreed. "I think," wrote Gregorowski J, "when [a] man commits a crime under the influence of liquor, he has to take the consequences, even if there were every reason to think that if he were sober he would have restrained himself."

Sant Pere de Galligants

Sant Pere de Galligants.

Detail of the bell tower.

Sant Pere de Galligants is Benedictine abbey in Girona, Catalonia. Since 1857, it is home to the Archaeology Museum of Catalonia venue in the city. The name translates to English as "Saint Peter of Galligants", where Galligants refers to the River Galligants that runs past the abby.

History

The monastery was built from 992, outside the walls of Girona, when Ramon Borrell, count of Barcelona gave to the monks rights over the quarter of Sant Pere. The monks held the ruler of the quarter until 1339, when King Peter IV of Aragon restored it to Aragon.

In 1117 Ramon Berenguer III of Barcelona united the monastery to the Abbey of Sainte-Marie de Lagrasse, in what is now France, though Sant Pere kept an abbot of his own and a large degree of autonomy. Sant Pere was never a big community, and the church was not the local parish, and only baptisms were held in the monastery. In 1362, when the monastery was enclosed within the city's walls, it was redesigned to a more defensive shape. It started to decay from the 15th century, and in 1592 it was united to the also decaying monasteries of Sant Miquel de Cruïlles and Sant Miquel de Fluvià. In 1835 the monastery included an abbot and four monks. It was declared a national monument in 1931.

The small cloister is an example of Catalan Romanesque architecture. The northern gallery dates to 1154, while the remaining ones are from 1190. The capitals of the columns have motifs very similar to those in the cloisters of Sant Cugat del Vallès or in the Cathedral of Girona. Some depict scenes from Jesus' life, while others show typical Romanesque elements such as lions or sirens.

Detail of a capital in the cloister.

Overview

The Romanesque church was built in 1130, and has a nave and two aisles with a transept, and four apses. The portal, in a rather archaic style, comes probably from a previous building. It is surmounted by a rose window with a diameter of 3.5 meters.


Sant Pere de Galligants

The interior features a series of side columns, with capitals having vegetable motifs, used to reinforce the central vault. The capitals of the apse columns are more elaborated, and were probably executed by different artists. Some of them have been attributed to the Master of Cabestany.

The bell tower has an octagonal plan and two sectors, the upper one, of two floors featuring with double arches divided by columns, decorated with Lombard bands.

Leisure Air

Leisure Air was an American airline based in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Beginning as a charter airline, the company expanded to offer scheduled service to major cities as a discount carrier. It operated from 1992 until 1995, when it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and then ceased operations.

History

Leisure Air was established in 1992 with its base in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. It flew charter flights using five leased Airbus A320s, four McDonnell Douglas DC-10s and two Boeing 757s. The charter flights were operated to the southwest United States, Mexico and the Caribbean. Also it operated charters from Los Angeles and San Francisco to Hawaii using the DC-10s, Oakland to Mexico and Chicago using the A320s. Those DC-10s were also used for charter flights to Europe.

After beginning with charter service, Leisure Air expanded to offering scheduled service to several domestic and international destinations. It operated as a discount airline, selling coast-to-coast seats for as little as $99 one way. Part of its strategy was to control costs by contracting out its reservations service and renting airport counter space from other carriers for $150 a flight. One of its gimmicks to keep costs low was to offer turkey sandwiches for every meal.

Harold J. (Hap) Pareti started Leisure Air. He previously was one of the founders of People Express.

Scheduled services in 1994

According to the September 15, 1994 edition of the Official Airline Guide (OAG), Leisure Air was operating scheduled flights on these routes with the following jet aircraft types:


Leisure Air

* Airbus A320: New York Kennedy Airport (JFK) - St. Lucia, West Indies (UVF) - Georgetown, Guyana (GEO), Boston (BOS) - Orlando (MCO), Hartford (BDL) - West Palm Beach (PBI), Hartford (BDL) - Orlando (MCO) - West Palm Beach (PBI), and Detroit (DTW) - Orlando (MCO)
  * Boeing 757-200: Boston (BOS) - Las Vegas (LAS), Boston (BOS) - Los Angeles (LAX), Boston (BOS) - Orlando (MCO), and Boston (BOS) - San Francisco (SFO)
  * McDonnell Douglas DC-10: Los Angeles (LAX) - Honolulu (HNL) - Maui (OGG), San Francisco (SFO) - Honolulu (HNL) - Maui (OGG), New York Kennedy Airport (JFK) - Port of Spain, Trinidad (POS), and Boston (BOS) - San Francisco (SFO)

Also according to the OAG, none of the above flights were operated on a daily basis and in most cases were only operated once a week on the above routes.

Safety concerns

When the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) found irregularities in the maintenance records of the McDonnell Douglas DC-10s, the operating license for the DC-10s and Boeing 757s were withdrawn. Due to this, only the Airbus A320s continued to operate but at a much reduced scale.

The safety violations were found during an inspection relating to the airline's planned move from Winston-Salem to McLean, Virginia.

Flights were suspended on November 18, 1994, after the airline was unable to demonstrate compliance with FAA safety regulations. On November 25, 1994, the FAA announced it had allowed Leisure Air to resume flying some of its planes, and said it would closely monitor the airline to assure safe operations.

Collapse

The airline filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in January 1995.

In February 1995, following the safety concerns and aircraft restrictions, Leisure Air finally ceased all operations.

The original settlement, called Pyeattstown, grew to 150 people by 1819. Pyeatte township was formed in 1823. James Pyeatt died in 1833 and was buried near his land in a small cemetery that is now near the Maumelle Country Club's golf course. The township of Maumelle was formed in 1842.

As such, Leisure published novels and collections by a number of horror's notable authors, including Douglas Clegg, Stacy Dittrich, Ray Garton, J. F. Gonzalez, Brian Keene, Jack Ketchum, Richard Laymon, Deborah LeBlanc, Edward Lee, Ronald Malfi, Graham Masterton, T. V. Olsen, and Sarah Pinborough.

Beginning in 1976, Leisure Books published Gardner Fox's fantasy series featuring the barbarian Kyrik: Warlock Warrior, Kyrik Fights the Demon World, Kyrik and the Wizard's Sword, and Kyrik and the Lost Queen.

Muhammad Usman Diplai

Muhammad Usman Diplai (Urdu: محمد عثمان ڈیپلائی), popularly known as Diplai (13 June 1908 – 8 February 1981), was a figure of Sindhi literature and journalism.

He was awarded the Pride of Performance for literature by the President of Pakistan General Pervez Musharraf on 23 March 2004.

Early life and literary career

Muhammad Usman Diplai was born at Diplo, (Tharparkar District) to Mohammad Ali Diplai, in a middle-class family. As per family traditions, he had to engage himself in business. Due to unfavourable circumstances, however, he could not complete his formal education. In early life, he worked with some landlords (zamindars) of the area as a clerk, but continued reading newspapers and magazines. He also acquired proficiency in Gujarati, Hindi, Gurmukhi, Urdu languages and a working knowledge in English and Persian. His works included a translation of the Quran in the Sindhi language.

He founded Islamia Press, Quran Press and the Islami Dar-ul-Ishaat, the Adar-i-Insanyat, and the Diplai Academy one after another shortly before the Second World War, at the historic town of Mirpurkhas, and then moved to Hyderabad in 1942 where he founded the monthly magazine Ibrat, which he sold in 1946, it then changed to publishing weekly and eventually daily.

In 1923, he came across an issue of the Urdu weekly Munadi, published in Delhi by Khwaja [[Hassan Nizami) which carried an article about the conquest of Sindh by the young warrior Muhammad Bin Qasim. Diplai wrote a letter in Urdu to the editor pinpointing certain historical inaccuracies in the write-up. Hassan Nizami was so much impressed by the letter that he published it as an article. It proved a source of inspiration to Diplai and he started contributing to Munadi and Deen-o-Duniya (Urdu) journals regularly. Later, his Sindhi stories appeared in Sindhi monthlies such as Taraqqi (magazine) and Ilmi Dunya.
