Daniel grew up musically-inclined, playing violin at the age of three. He grew up traveling around the world with his parents, planting 25 different churches along the way. He learned how to play guitar, bass, and piano and began to write songs while in Russia between 12 and 16 years of age. Bashta released his first album, The Sounds of Daniel Bashta, on September 6, 2011. It reached 39 the US Christian and Heartseekers charts. The Invisible and The Roar (2013-present) Returning to the studio for a second album, Bashta embarked on a journey to create something a bit different than his last work. The Invisible was released on February 5, 2013. In an interview, Daniel said "The whole record is based off of 1 Tim 1:17". He hoped that the album would instill hope, above all things. In 2013, Bashta launched The Roar, "a missions training school aimed at the 'rapid deployment of mission pioneers.'" Discography Albums Personal life Bashta is married and has three children. They live in Atlanta, Georgia.

Pribislavec
|
Pribislavec (; Kajkavian: Prslavec) is a village and a municipality in Međimurje County, in northern Croatia. It is located just outside Čakovec, the seat and largest city of Međimurje County, with its westernmost part basically connected with the city's easternmost part. During the 2001 census, the village was populated by 2,929 people and was at the time part of the City of Čakovec, i.e. the city's wider area, which is an entity equivalent to municipalities. In October 2001, the village became a separate municipality. In the 2011 census, Pribislavec had a population of 3,136. History Pribislavec is first mentioned in the 14th century. Its name is derived from personal name Pribislav of Slavic origin. In 1870, count Juraj Feštetić built a large castle in Neo-Gothic style in the village. The castle now serves as the local elementary school. 2019 Antiziganist Demonstrations Group led by Alen Pancer, veteran of the Croatian War of Independence, announced antiziganist demonstrations under the title "I want normal life" () for 1 June 2019 at the county's administrative center in Čakovec. Veljko Kajtazi, Romani of Croatia community' MP in the Croatian Parliament, expressed his surprise with singling out of Roma which disturbed the entire community. MP expressed his dissatisfaction with the fact that the Town of Čakovec did not permit the follow up response demonstration for the next day. Kajtazi's press conference in the Croatian Parliament was interrupted by Croatian Growth MP Hrvoje Zekanović. Independent Serb weekly Novosti wrote that organizer of the demonstration is an activist of Željka Markić and sympathizer of Ruža Tomašić associated with nationalist and right wing groups. Kajtazi underlined that "extreme right-wingers and people who spread hate messages...are not the people who will solve the problem..." Organizers denied antiziganist nature of the demonstration stating that even "among the Roma there are honorable and honest people". European Roma Rights Centre called upon authorities of the Međimurje County to clarify why do they support demonstration stating that it is unacceptable for a multicultural, democratic and antifascist state to tolerate demonstrations against entire groups of people. Prior to gathering, demonstration were condemned by the President of the Union of Roma in Croatia Suzana Krčmar, elected representative of the Međimurje Roma community Matija Oršuš. Pribislavec Municipality Mayoress Višnja Ivačić expressed her full support to demonstration and invited other municipalities in the county to join in. Sports Pribislavec has an own football club, NK Polet Pribislavec, whose home ground is located in the western part of the village. It has a capacity of around 1,000 and is equipped with floodlighting. The club won the Međimurje County First League in 2010 and were promoted to the Croatian Fourth League. Pribislavec Airfield is a small sports airfield located between Pribislavec and Belica. It has one grassy runway and is mostly used by light aircraft and gliders. There is also an annual air show at the airfield in August. A kart circuit is also located between Pribislavec and Belica, next to the airfield.

Calcium sulfide
|
Calcium sulfide is the chemical compound with the formula CaS. This white material crystallizes in cubes like rock salt. CaS has been studied as a component in a process that would recycle gypsum, a product of flue-gas desulfurization. Like many salts containing sulfide ions, CaS typically has an odour of H2S, which results from small amount of this gas formed by hydrolysis of the salt. In terms of its atomic structure, CaS crystallizes in the same motif as sodium chloride indicating that the bonding in this material is highly ionic. The high melting point is also consistent with its description as an ionic solid. In the crystal, each S2− ion is surrounded by an octahedron of six Ca2+ ions, and complementarily, each Ca2+ ion surrounded by six S2− ions. Production CaS is produced by "carbothermic reduction" of calcium sulfate, which entails the conversion of carbon, usually as charcoal, to carbon dioxide: CaSO4 + 2 C → CaS + 2 CO2 and can react further: 3 CaSO4 + CaS → 4 CaO + 4 SO2 In the second reaction the sulfate (+6 oxidation state) oxidizes the sulfide (-2 oxidation state) to sulfur dioxide (+4 oxidation state), while it is being reduced to sulfur dioxide itself (+4 oxidation state). CaS is also a byproduct in the Leblanc process, a once major industrial process for producing sodium carbonate. In that process sodium sulfide reacts with calcium carbonate: Na2S + CaCO3 → CaS + Na2CO3 Millions of tons of this calcium sulfide byproduct was discarded, causing extensive pollution and controversy. Milk of lime, Ca(OH)2, reacts with elemental sulfur to give a "lime-sulfur", which has been used as an insecticide. The active ingredient is probably a calcium polysulfide, not CaS. Reactivity and uses Calcium sulfide decomposes upon contact with water, including moist air, giving a mixture of Ca(SH)2, Ca(OH)2, and Ca(SH)(OH). CaS + H2O → Ca(SH)(OH) Ca(SH)(OH) + H2O → Ca(OH)2 + H2S It reacts with acids such as hydrochloric acid to release toxic hydrogen sulfide gas. CaS + 2 HCl → CaCl2 + H2S Calcium sulfide is phosphorescent, and will glow a blood red for up to an hour after a light source is removed. Natural occurrence Oldhamite is the name for mineralogical form of CaS. It is a rare component of some meteorites and has scientific importance in solar nebula research. Burning of coal dumps can also produce the compound. See also Glossary of meteoritics References Category:Sulfides Category:Calcium compounds Category:Meteorite minerals

The AACTA Award for Best Original Screenplay is an award presented by the Australian Academy of Cinema and Television Arts (AACTA), for an Australian screenplay "written directly and originally for the screen". Prior to the establishment of the Academy in 2011, the award was presented by the Australian Film Institute (AFI) at the annual Australian Film Institute Awards (more commonly known as the AFI Awards). It was first handed out in 1978 when the award for Best Screenplay (which was first presented at the 1974-75 awards) was split into two categories: Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay. The award has since been presented intermittently from 1978-1979, 1983-1987, 1989, 1993-2006, and then from 2008-present. Winners and nominees In the following table, the years listed correspond to the year of film release; the ceremonies are usually held the same year. The films and screenwriters in bold and in yellow background have won are the winners. Those that are neither highlighted nor in bold are the nominees.

Alapayevsk
|
Alapayevsk () is a town in Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia, located at the confluence of the Neyva and Alapaikha Rivers. Population: 44,263 (2002 Census); 50,060 (1989 Census); 49,000 (1968). History Alapayevsk is one of the oldest centers of ferrous metallurgy in the Urals with the first factory built in 1704. The town proper was founded in 1781. Murder of Russian Imperial family members On July 18, 1918, the day after the shooting at Yekaterinburg of the last Tsar, Nicholas II and family, members of the extended Russian royal family, the Romanovs, including a nun, and their servants, met a brutal death here being thrown down a mineshaft near Alapayevsk by Bolsheviks. All except Grand Duke Sergey Mikhaylovich (who was the first one to die; he was shot before they could throw him in) survived the fall, hand-grenades were thrown down after them killing Grand Duke Sergey's secretary, Fyodor Remez. Other victims died a slow death including the Prince Ioann Konstantinovich of Russia, Prince Konstantin Konstantinovich of Russia, Prince Igor Konstantinovich of Russia and Prince Vladimir Pavlovich Paley, and Grand Duchess Elizabeth Fyodorovna (born Princess Elisabeth of Hesse and by Rhine), a granddaughter of Queen Victoria. Grand Duchess Elizabeth was the sister of Empress Alexandra; when her husband, the Tsar's uncle, was murdered in 1905, she gave all her wealth to the poor and became a nun, but she was shown no mercy. Killed with her was a nun who had accompanied her - Varvara Yakovleva. The bodies were recovered from the mine by the White Army in September 1918. The bodies were placed in coffins and despite the struggles between the Whites and the opposing Red Army, they were moved to the far east. Grand Duchess Elizabeth's remains were ultimately taken to Jerusalem, where they were laid to rest in the Church of Maria Magdalene, while the coffins of the others were interred in a former Russian Mission in Beijing, now beneath a parking area. In 1981, Grand Duchess Elizabeth was canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia, and in 1992 by the Moscow Patriarchate. Alapayevsk is a place of pilgrimage to the memory of Grand Duchess Elizabeth. Administrative and municipal status Within the framework of the administrative divisions, it is, together with nine rural localities, incorporated as the Town of Alapayevsk—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts. As a municipal division, the Town of Alapayevsk is incorporated as Alapayevsk Urban Okrug. Transport The Alapayevsk narrow-gauge railway serves the communities around Alapayevsk Miscellaneous Local orphanage (Alapaevsk Family-Type Orphanage) proclaims itself as the largest in the Urals. Notable people The composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky spent a part of his childhood in Alapayevsk.

‘Arīb al-Ma’mūnīya (, b. 181/797-98, d. 277/890-91) was a qayna (slave trained in the arts of entertainment) of the early Abbasid period, who has been characterised as 'the most famous slave singer to have ever resided at the Baghdad court'. She lived to 96, and her career spanned the courts of five caliphs. Life and works The main source for ‘Arīb's life is the tenth-century Kitāb al-Aghānī of Abū ’l-Faraj al-Iṣfahānī: Like her peers, he tells us, ‘Arīb was versed in poetry, composition and music performance, along with sundry other skills, backgammon, chess and calligraphy among them. Her chosen instrument was the oud, a preference she would pass on to her students, but, above all, it was her singing and composition that stood out. Citing one of his key sources, Ibn al-Mu‘tazz, Abū ’l-Faraj refers to a collection of notebooks (dafātir) and loose sheets (ṣuḥuf) containing her songs. These are said to have numbered around 1,000. As regards her singing, Abū ’l-Faraj declares that she knew no rival among her peers. He groups her, alone among them, with the legendary divas of the earliest Islamic period, the singers known collectively as the Ḥijāzīyāt. Born in Baghdad, Iraq, ‘Arīb was rumoured in the Middle Ages to be the daughter of vizier Ja'far al-Barmaki, a key member of the Barmakids, and one of the family's domestic servants, Fāṭima. This parentage has been questioned by modern scholars. Either way, she was clearly a slave for important portions of her early life, whether born into slavery or sold into slavery as a ten-year-old following her family's downfall. ‘Arīb's own poetry twice protests at her servile status, and she was manumitted by Abū Isḥāq al-Mu‘taṣim (r. 833-42). She allegedly rose to being the favourite singer of Caliph al-Maʾmūn (r. 813-33). ‘Arīb's surviving oeuvre and associated anecdotes suggest not ony her poetic skills, but also a life in which she had a number of relationships with male lovers and patrons, indicating 'that ‘Arīb, like many of her peers, was a concubine as well as a singer when circumstances required'. It appears that she came to maintain a substantial entourage of her own and was a landowner. One of the most famous stories attached to her concerns a singing contest which she and her singing-girls won against her younger rival Shāriyah and her troupe. The evidence suggests a figure who was 'willful, deeply intelligent, impatient with those of lesser wits and, perhaps inevitably, bemused and often cynical'. An example of ‘Arīb's verse is the following: To you treachery is a virtue, you have many faces and ten tongues. I'm surprised my heart still clings to you in spite of what you put me through. If the early biographical information is correct, ‘Arīb died at the age of 96.

The Genesis According to Spiritism
|
The Genesis, Miracles and Premonition According to Spiritism (La Genèse, les Miracles et les Preditions selon le Spiritisme in the original French) was the last book published (1868) by Allan Kardec, just before his death. It tries to reconcile science and religion and develops a series of important scientific and philosophical topics, relating them to Spiritism. Contents The Genesis contains diverse articles on the creation of the universe, the formation of the world, the origins of spirits and the role of divine intervention in the order of nature. It is divided into three parts, each apparently unrelated to the others: The Genesis According to Spiritism (12 chapters) Miracles According to Spiritism (3 chapters) Predictions According to Spiritism (2 chapters) The final chapter ("The Time is at Hand") is not related to either of the three parts. The Genesis The first, and longest, part tries to reconcile religious tradition about the creation with recent discoveries of science regarding the universe and the origin of life. Character of Spiritist Revelation Kardec argues that Spiritism is a "third revelation", the first being that of God to Moses and the second, the coming of Christ). This first chapter is a thorough rationalisation of the Spiritist theory and an attempt to justify it in face of harsh criticism: "They accuse it [Spiritism] of relationship with magic and sorcery; but forget that Astronomy has Astrology as an elder sister, not much removed from us."(#19) God The Spiritist view of God. Good and Evil Good and evil are seen as inherent to human nature because they are both manifestations of our pursuit of perfection. "Good" things come from the use of intellect while "bad" things come from the prevalence of instinct. The role of science in the Genesis Argues that scientific advancement is ultimately a human attempt to understand God and that the conflict between religion and science exists because most religions have surrendered to the will of power while science is blind to the spirituality of man. Approves a harmony of science and religion. Ancient and modern views of the world Explains that the (mis)conceptions about the world originated from the scarcity of information available to man in the past and that, as science advances, our worldview will change dramatically, affected by it. General Uranography An essay, attributed to the spirit of Galileo and signed by "C.F." (probably Camille Flammarion) presents a description of the universe as understood at the time. Contains some interesting insights which were either original or very novel: that there are regions in space that are empty of stars (the space between the galaxies, which is called "deserts of space"), that countless of other planets existed beyond our solar system, that the Milky Way was only one of many other galaxies, that most planets, if not all, were inhabited; that planets are not immutable, but change over long periods of time and eventually disappear. General Geological Sketch of the Earth Attempts to reconcile the then recent science of geology with legends from the Bible and from other ancient peoples. Accepts the flood as fact

Henry Vaux
|
Henry Vaux (c. 1559 – 19 November 1587) was an English recusant, priest smuggler, and poet during the reign of Elizabeth I. He was born the eldest child of William Vaux, 3rd Baron Vaux of Harrowden, and his first wife, Elizabeth Beaumont, daughter of John Beaumont of Grace Dieu, Leicester. Both Henry Vaux's parents came from traditionally Catholic families. Family life After Henry's birth, William Vaux had three more children by his first wife: Eleanore (later to become the well-known priest-smuggler and recusant, Mrs Brooksby), Elizabeth (who became a Franciscan nun in Rouen) and Anne (who assisted Eleanore's recusant work under the pseudonym of ‘Mrs Perkins’). After his first wife's death, Lord Vaux married Mary Tresham in 1563. The new Lady Vaux was the sister of Sir Thomas Tresham who was to become a leading recusant spokesman in the Elizabethan age. The Tresham and Vaux families had been cordial neighbours for generations and had often intermarried. William Vaux had five more children by this second marriage: George, Edward, Ambrose, Muriel, and Catherine. Edmund Campion Lord Vaux's eldest two children, Henry and Eleanore, proved to be prodigious learners and in 1568 their father hired Edmund Campion of Oxford University (a future Jesuit martyr), to tutor them for several months. Later, on the eve of his departure to the Continent to study for Catholic orders, Campion wrote a letter of encouragement to Henry Vaux, his young former pupil, in Latin. Here is a brief (translated) extract: From the day your Father first asked me to see you and to superintend your education I have become amazingly attached to you. For I marvelled and was almost perplexed when I saw a boy who had not yet completed his ninth year, scion of a notable family, of such pleasant demeanour and refinement; who wrote and spoke Latin so well; who was equally good at prose and verse, accurate and quick at figures, devoted to the study of letters, diligent in application, able to sketch out and arrange his whole course of study. If circumstances had permitted it I should have desired nothing better than to give my enthusiastic help to that celebrated man, your Father, and to you, a boy of such great promise. But since some unknown fate, yours and mine, has deprived you of me and me of you, your Father (by whom I am dearly loved, and whom I particularly revere) has easily persuaded me that my voice and advice should come to you. ... Oxford, 28 July 1570. Changing circumstances In 1571, William Vaux moved with his family to the grander family seat at Harrowden with the second Lady Vaux. The children of his first marriage were entrusted to the care of their maternal grandmother for the next ten years. She was provided with £20 annually for Henry and £10 for each of his three sisters. Lord Vaux formed an agreement with Sir Thomas Tresham whereby the knight would receive £100 per annum for a period of fifteen years and provide a dowry of £500 each for Eleanore, Elizabeth, and Anne.

Legendury Beatz
|
Legendury Beatz (pronounced Legen-dury Beat-z) is a Nigerian record producing and songwriting duo, composed of siblings Uzezi Oniko (born 17 February 1986) and Okiemute Oniko (born 27 May 1989). Their production style is deeply rooted in afrobeats as well as in several other genres, including hip hop, reggae fusion, moombahton and electro house. With less than a year as a music production duo, Legendury Beatz made international headlines in the Nigerian recording industry by producing the critically acclaimed single "Azonto", which was performed by afrobeats recording artist and MOBO Award winner Wizkid. Throughout their career, they have been noted for their extensive work with Wizkid. They have also been noted for writing and producing consecutive string of hits. The duo have produced many songs with vocal contribution from artists such as American rapper Wale, British rappers Tinie Tempah and Yxng Bane, Urbano Latino artists Bad Bunny and J Balvin, 2face, Ice Prince, Efya, Banky W, Seyi Shay and Chidinma, amongst others. Early Life and career Formation and early works With no initial music industry contacts, connections or recording studio, the duo's production followed a simple system in which they created beats channeled to a certain artist for whom they scouted for in clubs, award shows etc. The system yielded little success until they met Weird MC, a female rapper, songwriter and producer who heard their content in 2009. They created the singles "Happy Day" and "Moving Up" for her, and also created an album with her that is yet to be released. In 2011, the duo produced "Ara", the lead single from Brymo's second studio album The Son of a Kapenta (2012). The song won Best Recording of the Year at The Headies 2012. Furthermore, the music video for the song won Best African Pop at the 2012 Channel O Music Video Awards. The duo produced the song "Ko Ma Roll" for MTV Africa Music Awards winner Mo'Cheddah. In 2012, the duo produced "Baddest Boy", the lead single from Empire Mates Entertainment's compilation album Empire Mates State of Mind (2012). Legendury Beatz also produced the song "Emi Ni Baller" for Kora Awards winner Chidinma. The song broke a record for Chidinma, as she became the first female musician to peak at number 1 on the MTV Base Official Naija Top 10 chart. Legendury Beatz produced the song “Drop” with vocal contributions from American rapper Wale and Wizkid. In 2013, the duo produced the song "Caro", which was included as a bonus on Wizkid's second studio album Ayo (2014). In 2014, the duo produced "That Could Be Us" for Nigerian rapper Ice Prince. They also worked with other notable African artists, including Banky W, Seyi Shay and Efya. Production work and record deal Legendury Beatz and Wizkid's production catalog include songs like "Ginger", "Caro", "Talk", "Eledumare", "Number One Lover", Won Gbo Mi", "Juru" and "Emi Ni Baller" (Remix). On 29 April 2013, Legendury Beatz were signed to Wizkid's Starboy Entertainment. The duo produced four songs on his second studio album Ayo. The song "Ojuelegba" was well-received across different social media platforms. It contributed

Plant Daniel
|
The Victor J. Daniel Electric Generating Plant is a major 2-gigawatt, four-unit fossil fuel power plant, generating about 1 GWe from two coal-fired subcritical drum-type units and 1 GWe from its two newer, gas-fired combined-cycle units. Plant Daniel is located in Jackson County, near Escatawpa, Mississippi. Named for Victor J. Daniel, Jr., Mississippi Power's fourth president, the plant was designated by Southern Company Services, Inc. Jointly owned by Mississippi Power and Gulf Power, it is the largest generator of electric power in the state of Mississippi. History Construction of Daniel 1 and 2, two coal-fired sub-critical drum type units began in April 1973. Twenty-six years later in May 1999, plant capacity was doubled with the addition of two gas-fired combined cycle units, designated Daniel 3 and 4. The first 500 MW coal-fired, steam electric generating unit, Daniel 1, began commercial operation on Sept. 6, 1977. The second 500 MW coal-fired, steam electric generating unit, Daniel 2, began commercial operation on June 1, 1981. Daniel 3 and 4 began commercial operation between April and May 2001. Ownership Mississippi Power and Gulf Power of Pensacola, Florida jointly own and share operating costs of the Daniel 1 and 2 units. Now owned by NextEra Energy, Gulf Power is a former sister company of Mississippi Power through Southern Company. Daniel 3 and 4 are gas-fired combined cycle units. Each unit produces 500 MW of electricity, bringing the plant’s total capacity to more than 2000 MW. Daniel 3 and 4 are solely operated and maintained by Mississippi Power. Carbon sequestration demonstration The facility is the site of a United States Department of Energy-sponsored carbon dioxide sequestration demonstration project intended to demonstrate CO2 storage in a deep saline aquifer, the Lower Tuscaloosa Formation. The project began in 2008, and more than of CO2 were injected in October of that year.

Digital therapeutics
|
Digital therapeutics, a subset of digital health, are evidence-based therapeutic interventions driven by high quality software programs to prevent, manage, or treat a medical disorder or disease. Digital therapeutic companies should publish trial results inclusive of clinically meaningful outcomes in peer-reviewed journals. The treatment relies on behavioral and lifestyle changes usually spurred by a collection of digital impetuses. Because of the digital nature of the methodology, data can be collected and analyzed as both a progress report and a preventative measure. Treatments are being developed for the prevention and management of a wide variety of diseases and conditions, including type II diabetes, congestive heart failure, obesity, Alzheimer's disease, dementia, asthma, substance abuse, ADHD, hypertension, anxiety, depression, and several others. Digital therapeutics often employ strategies rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy. Definitions Although digital therapeutics can be employed in numerous ways, the term can broadly be defined as a treatment or therapy that utilizes digital and often Internet-based health technologies to spur changes in patient behavior. The use of digital products to improve health outcomes dates as far back as 2000. The term itself has been in use since around 2012. The first mention of the term in a peer-reviewed research publication was in 2015, in which Dr. Cameron Sepah formally defined the field as: "Digital therapeutics are evidence-based behavioral treatments delivered online that can increase accessibility and effectiveness of health care." Digital therapeutics can be used as a standalone therapy or in conjunction with more conventional treatments like pharmacological or in-person therapy. As of 2018, digital therapeutics continues to be an evolving field that medical professionals, students, and patients are beginning to utilize. The Digital Therapeutics Alliance states: "Digital therapeutics (DTx) deliver evidence-based therapeutic interventions to patients that are driven by high quality software programs to prevent, manage, or treat a broad spectrum of physical, mental, and behavioral conditions." Digital therapeutics are different from wellness apps or medication reminders in that they require rigorous clinical evidence to substantiate intended use and impact on disease state. It is often used as a preventive measure for patients who are at risk of developing more serious conditions. For instance, a patient with prediabetes may be prescribed digital therapeutics as a method to change their diet and behavior that could otherwise lead to a diabetes diagnosis. Digital therapeutics can also be used as a treatment option for existing conditions. For instance, a patient with type II diabetes can use digital therapeutics to manage the disease more effectively. The methodology uses a variety of digital implements to help manage, monitor, and prevent illnesses in at-risk patients. These include mobile devices and technologies, apps, sensors, desktop computers, and various Internet of Things devices. These implements can collect a wide variety of data, ranging from big to small. Digital therapeutics can theoretically collect a high volume of data from a variety of sources. It also collects "smaller" data, "capturing personalized physiological parameters, behavior patterns and social and geographical patterns that can be recorded from multiple digital sources." Methodologies Digital therapeutics can be used for a variety of conditions. There is

Clairette blanche
|
Clairette blanche is a white wine grape variety most widely grown in the wine regions of Provence, Rhône and Languedoc in France. At the end of the 1990s, there were of Clairette blanche grown in France, although volumes are decreasing. Clairette blanche was often used to make vermouth, to which it is suited as it produces wine high in alcohol and low in acidity, and therefore yields wines that are sometimes described as "flabby" and which tend to oxidize easily. These problems have sometimes been partially overcome by blending it with high-acid varieties such as Piquepoul blanc. It is allowed into many appellations of Southern Rhône, Provence and Languedoc. The white wines Clairette de Bellegarde and Clairette du Languedoc are made entirely from Clairette blanche, while the sparkling wine Clairette de Die can also contain Muscat Blanc à Petits Grains. Clairette blanche is frequently used in the blended white Vin de pays from Languedoc. It is also one of the thirteen grape varieties permitted in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. With 2.5% of the appellation's vineyards planted in Clairette blanche in 2004 it is the most common white variety in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, slightly ahead of Grenache blanc. Outside France it is also grown in South Africa for sparkling wine, Australia and Sardinia. Synonyms Clairette blanche is also known under the synonyms AG Cleret, AG Kleret, Blanc Laffite, Blanket, Blanquette, Blanquette De Limoux, Blanquette du Midi, Blanquette Velue, Bon Afrara, Bou Afrara, Branquete, Cibade, Clairette, Clairette d'Aspiran, Clairette De Limoux, Clairette De Trans, Clairette Pointue, Clairette Pounchoudo, Clairette verte, Clarette, Clerette, Colle Musquette, Cotticour, Feher Clairette, Feher Kleret, Gaillard blanc, Granolata, Klaretto bianko, Kleret, Kleret Belyi, Kleret de Limu, Muscade, Osianka, Ousianka, Ovsyaika, Ovsyanka, Petit blanc, Petit Kleret, Petite Clairette, Poupe De Gate, Pti Blan d'Obena, Seidentraube, Shalos Zolotistyi, Uva Gijona, Vivsianka, Vivsyanca and Vivsyanka.

Imperial guard
|
An imperial guard or palace guard is a special group of troops (or a member thereof) of an empire, typically closely associated directly with the Emperor or Empress. Usually these troops embody a more elite status than other imperial forces, including the regular armed forces, and maintain special rights, privileges and traditions. Because the head of state often wishes to be protected by the best soldiers available, their numbers and organisation may be expanded to carry out additional tasks. Napoleon's Imperial Guard is an example of this. In heterogeneous polities reliant on a greater degree of coercion to maintain central authority the political reliability and loyalty of the guard is the most important factor in their recruitment. In such cases the ranks of the guard may be filled with on the one hand Royal kinsman and clansman with a stake in the survival of the ruling family, and on the other with members socially and culturally divorced from the general population and therefore reliant on Imperial patronage for their survival, for example the Varangian Guards (recruiting solely foreigners), and the Janissaries (Christian children taken as slaves from childhood, to serve the Sultan). In the post-colonial period, the term has been used colloquially and derisively to describe the staff of a person, usually a politician or corporate executive officer, that acts to prevent direct communication with the person. List of imperial guards The 10,000-strong Immortals, an elite heavy infantry unit of the Achaemenid Empire from 550 BC–330 BC, functioning as both an Imperial Guard and a faction of the Achaemenid army The Praetorian Guard of the Imperial Roman Army in Ancient Rome, from 27 BC – 312 AD.

Carex capillacea
|
Carex capillacea, common name yellowleaf sedge in Tasmania, is a species of sedge (in the Cyperaceae family) found in Assam, the far east of Russia, New Guinea, south east Australia, New Zealand, Malesia, China, Japan and India. Description Carex capillacea is densely tufted. The culms (up to 30 cm long by 0.5 mm) are erect and slender. The leaves are usually shorter than culms, and the sheath is green to pale brown. The inflorescence is erect and has one spike. The male portion of the spike is above the female portion. The style is divided into three parts. It flowers from October to December and fruits from October to July and the nuts are dispersed by granivory and wind. Distribution & habitat In New Zealand it is found on the North Island on the Waimarino Plain, and the Moawhango and in the South Island from Nelson and Marlborough south to the lakes of Te Anau, Manapouri, Hauroko and east to Lumsden. Its preferred habitat is bogs, seepages, and the margins of ponds and pools. Conservation status Assessments under the New Zealand Threat Classification System (NZTCS), declared it to be "At Risk – Naturally Uncommon" (NU) in 2013, and in 2017 to be "Threatened – Nationally Vulnerable" (NV). In Tasmania, it is declared "Threatened". Taxonomy & naming Carex capillacea was first described in 1858 by Francis Boott from specimens collected in the temperate eastern Himalayas at by Joseph Dalton Hooker in Sikkim and by William Griffith in Bhutan. The specific epithet, capillacea, derives from the Latin capillus "hair" or "thread", and thus describes the plant as being thread-like.

The following events will be contested: Freestyle: 50 m, 100 m, 200 m, 400 m, 800 m, 1500 m Backstroke: 50 m, 100 m, 200 m Breaststroke: 50 m, 100 m, 200 m Butterfly: 50, 100 m, 200 m Individual medley: 200 m, 400 m Relay: 4×100 m free, 4×200 m free; 4×100 m medley Marathon: 10 km The 50 m butterfly, 50 m backstroke, and 50 m breaststroke events will not count toward the team scores. Qualifying criteria Unlike the World Championships and Olympic Games, nations can enter as many people as they like in the preliminaries of each event (in most international meets, only two swimmers from each nation are permitted). However, only two swimmers per nation can qualify for the semi-finals and finals. Prior to FINA's creation of semi-finals in the late 1990s, a total of 3 swimmers per country could qualify for the final and consolation heats of an event, with no more than 2 swimmers per country in a final or consolation. For relays, each country may enter up to one team in each relay event to swim in the final heat and count toward the team score. Countries may also enter a “B” relay that will swim in a preceding heat. These “B” relays may not score points and are not eligible for medals. An NOC may enter up to 1 swimmer per sex (2 total), if they have no swimmers meeting any qualifying B standard.

Rein
|
Reins are items of horse tack, used to direct a horse or other animal used for riding. They are long straps that can be made of leather, nylon, metal, or other materials, and attach to a bridle via either its bit or its noseband. Use for riding Reins are used to give subtle commands or cues, also known as rein aids. Various commands may signal a turn, ask for a slower speed, request a halt or rein back. Rein aids are used along with leg aids, shifting of body weight, and sometimes voice commands. Harness reins On some types of harnesses there might be supporting rings or "terrets" used to carry the reins over the animal's back. When pairs of equines are used in drawing a wagon or coach it is usual for the outer side of each pair to be connected to the reins and for the inside of the bits to be connected between the pair of horses by a short bridging strap or rope. The driver carries "four-in-hand" or "six-in-hand" being the number of reins connecting to the pairs. Other uses A single rein or rope may be attached to a halter to lead or guide a horse or packhorse. A long rein called a longe line may be used to allow the horse to move in a circle for training purposes, or for the purpose of a clinical lameness evaluation by a veterinarian. On certain designs of headgear, a third rein may be added to the paired reins, used for leading, longeing, or other specialized or stylistic purposes. The best-known example of a third rein used in the USA is the leading rein of the mecate of the classic bosal hackamore. Types Types of reins include: Closed reins, or loop reins: reins that are either a single piece or that buckle together at the ends. English riders usually use closed reins. Western riders in timed rodeo events use a single closed rein, as do those who use a romal. A closed rein helps prevent the rider from dropping the reins. Double reins: The combined use of two pairs of reins, a curb rein and a snaffle rein. This is usually two single (buckled or sewn) reins, though sometimes split reins may be seen on western-style bridles. Double reins are used with a double bridle, with bits such as the Pelham bit and, less often, on some gag bits used for polo. Draw reins and running reins: long reins, usually made of leather or nylon webbing, that attach to the saddle or the girth, run through the bit rings, and back to the rider. Several design variations, they add mechanical advantage to the rider's hands and may affect the horse's ability to raise or lower its head. Often used in conjunction with a snaffle rein by English riders, usually used alone by western riders. Lead rein: A third rein used on bridles, not to be confused with the single lead rope of a halter nor the direct rein aid known as the "leading rein". In North America a third

Tired of Toein' the Line
|
"Tired of Toein' the Line" is a song by Rocky Burnette, who co-wrote it with Ron Coleman, former bass player of the Brothers Grim and The Everly Brothers. It was performed by Burnette, and contains lyrics detailing an imminent breakup from the point of view of a man who no longer wants to toe the line. After first appearing on the UK Official Singles Chart Top 75 in November 1979, it became an international hit after its release in the United States in May 1980, and was Burnette's only hit single. By peaking at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100, "Tired of Toein' the Line" tied "You're Sixteen", by Rocky's father Johnny Burnette, as the highest-charting Hot 100 single from a member of the Burnette family. The single was number one in Australia (for two weeks) in June 1980. In the 1980s, cover versions of the song were released by singer Ricky Nelson on his album Playing to Win (1981) and British singer Shakin' Stevens on his album A Whole Lotta Shaky (1988).

Mstsislaw Voivodeship
|
Mstislaw Voivodeship or Mścisław Voivodeship (, , ) was a unit of administrative division and local government in the Grand Duchy of Lithuania (from 1569 the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth), since the 15th century until the Partitions of Poland in 1795. Zygmunt Gloger in his monumental book Historical Geography of the Lands of Old Poland provides this description of the Mscislaw Voivodeship: “Mscislaw (Mscislavia), which lies at the Wiechra river, was probably founded in the late 13th century, and named after Duke of Smolensk, Mstislav Romanovich the Old. In the 14th century, it was captured by the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and for a while remained a fief (...) By 1538, the Duchy of Mscislaw was already governed by a starosta, who during the reign of King Zygmunt August was renamed into a voivode, while the Duchy was turned into a voivodeship. First Voivode of Mscislaw was Jerzy Oscik, Traby coat of arms. The Voivodeship of Mscislaw was not divided into counties (see powiat). Its sejmiks took place at Mscislaw, where two deputies to the Sejm were elected, and two to the Lithuanian Tribunal (...) It ceased to exist in 1772, when after the first partition of Poland, Mscislaw Voivodeship was annexed by the Russian Empire". Voivodeship Governor (Wojewoda) seat: Mscislaw Voivodes Janusz Skumin Tyszkiewicz (1621-1626) Mikołaj Kiszka (1626-1636) Mikołaj Abramowicz (1643-1647) Fryderyk Sapieha (VIII 1647-1650) Administrative division the voivodeship was not divided into counties References Mscislaw Voivodeship, description by Zygmunt Gloger Category:Voivodeships of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth Category:Former voivodeships of Lithuania Category:1566 establishments in Europe Category:1566 establishments in Lithuania Category:1772 disestablishments in the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth Category:Early Modern history of Belarus

2016 Hurghada attack
|
On 8 January 2016, two suspected militants, armed with a melee weapon and a signal flare, allegedly arrived by sea and stormed the Bella Vista Hotel in the Red Sea city of Hurghada, Egypt, stabbing two foreign tourists from Austria and one from Sweden. (Early reports incorrectly stated that the victims were one German and one Danish national.) One of the attackers, 21-year-old student Mohammed Hassan Mohammed Mahfouz, was killed by police as he tried to take a woman hostage. The other attacker was injured. The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant claimed responsibility. Attack An Egyptian court found that the attack was incited by a Syria-based operative of the Islamic State who was in contact with the perpetrators. According to The Independent, both attackers carried knives and pellet guns. According to Al Jazeera, they carried "a gun, a knife and a suicide belt." All roads into and out of Hurghada were closed as Egyptian security searched for additional attackers. According to BBC security analyst Frank Gardner, the ISIS goal in inciting such attacks is to undermine crucial support tourism provides to the Egyptian economy. Assailants There were two attackers, Mohamad Hassan Mohamed Mahfouz and Mohamed Magdy Abul Kheir. Mahfouz was shot dead at the scene; Kheir was wounded. Kheir was charged with possessing ammunition and firearms, joining an illegal group, and attempted murder. He was given a life sentence. An operative of the Islamic State, Ahmad Abdel Salam Mansour, an Egyptian national operating out of Syrian, was tried in absentia by an Egyptian court on charges of having incited the two attackers. He was sentenced in absentia to life in prison. Response Hisham Zaazou, Egypt's Minister of Tourism, responded by announcing new security measures to protect tourists. The attack was one of 78 described by Donald Trump as underreported terrorist attacks. Impact Egypt, which is a country that depends on tourism saw tourism nosedive during the revolution. Once the country's government began to stabilize and tourism began picking up, terrorists began targeting tourism sites. Due to this and other attacks, 2016 was a "tough year" for the tourism industry in Egypt.

Collège Jeanne-Sauvé
|
Collège Jeanne-Sauvé or CJS was the first French immersion high school in Western Canada, named in honour of former governor-general of Canada, Jeanne Sauvé. It is situated in the southern St. Vital area of Winnipeg, Manitoba and is part of the Louis-Riel school division. The high school runs from grade 9 to grade 12. History Collège Jeanne-Sauvé was the first French immersion high school in Western Canada. It was created as a result of the efforts of parents to ensure that their children be able to continue in French immersion after grade 8. The school was finally opened in January 1990 to grades eight through twelve. Its name was chosen to recognise the distinct ability that Sauvé had to bridge the gap between English and French communities, one of the main goals of French immersion. The Right Honorable Jeanne Sauvé (former Governor General of Canada) was invited to the Official Opening of the school which took place on March 1, 1990. Regrettably, she was unable to attend but kept her promise to visit the school named in her honour. Madame Sauvé visited Collège Jeanne-Sauvé for the entire school day on October 5, 1990 when she spoke to students and staff and visited classrooms in the school. Feeder schools The schools whose students generally enroll in Collège Jeanne-Sauvé are École St. Germain, École Julie-Riel, École Marie-Anne-Gaboury, École George McDowell, and École Varennes. There are also students who come from other French schools within the community.

Management accounting
|
In management accounting or managerial accounting, managers use the provisions of accounting information in order to better inform themselves before they decide matters within their organizations, which aids their management and performance of control functions. Definition One simple definition of management accounting is the provision of financial and non-financial decision-making information to managers. According to the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA): "Management accounting is a profession that involves partnering in management decision making, devising planning and performance management systems, and providing expertise in financial reporting and control to assist management in the formulation and implementation of an organization's strategy". Management accountants (also called managerial accountants) look at the events that happen in and around a business while considering the needs of the business. From this, data and estimates emerge. Cost accounting is the process of translating these estimates and data into knowledge that will ultimately be used to guide decision-making. The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), the largest management accounting institute with over 100,000 members describes "Management accounting as analysing information to advise business strategy and drive sustainable business success". Scope, practice, and application The Association of International Certified Professional Accountants (AICPA) states that management accounting as practice extends to the following three areas: Strategic management — advancing the role of the management accountant as a strategic partner in the organization Performance management — developing the practice of business decision-making and managing the performance of the organization Risk management — contributing to frameworks and practices for identifying, measuring, managing and reporting risks to the achievement of the objectives of the organization The Institute of Certified Management Accountants (CMA) states, "A management accountant applies his or her professional knowledge and skill in the preparation and presentation of financial and other decision oriented information in such a way as to assist management in the formulation of policies and in the planning and control of the operation undertaking". Management accountants are seen as the "value-creators" amongst the accountants. They are more concerned with forward-looking and taking decisions that will affect the future of the organization, than in the historical recording and compliance (score keeping) aspects of the profession. Management accounting knowledge and experience can be obtained from varied fields and functions within an organization, such as information management, treasury, efficiency auditing, marketing, valuation, pricing, and logistics. In 2014 CIMA created the Global Management Accounting Principles (GMAPs). The result of research from across 20 countries in five continents, the principles aim to guide best practice in the discipline. Financial versus Management accounting Management accounting information differs from financial accountancy information in several ways: while shareholders, creditors, and public regulators use publicly reported financial accountancy, information, only managers within the organization use the normally confidential management accounting information while financial accountancy information is historical, management accounting information is primarily forward-looking; while financial accountancy information is case-based, management accounting information is model-based with a degree of abstraction in order to support generic decision making; while financial accountancy information is computed by reference to general financial accounting standards, management accounting information is computed by reference to the needs

Richmond's squirrel (Sciurus richmondi) is a poorly known tree squirrel in the genus Sciurus endemic to Nicaragua, which is likely a synonym of the Red-tailed squirrel (Notosciurus granatensis). It is locally known as the ardilla del rama. Taxonomy It was first described in 1898 by Nelson based on a series of specimens collected in 1892. Specimens were collected again in 1908 and 1910 by Joel Asaph Allen. No more specimens were then collected until 53 were taken in the 1960s. It appears no scientific specimens were taken or official observations recorded after the 1960s of which data has been uploaded to the GBIF. Description Very similar to Notosciurus granatensis ssp. hoffmanni, but smaller in size, coloured less brightly, and with lighter coloured hairs on the tail. It has a brown back and tail, the tail streaked with tawny yellowish hairs, and an orange abdomen. Females have noticeably wider cheekbones than the males, but are otherwise morphologically identical (aside from the obvious). Distribution Endemic to Nicaragua. It has mostly been collected in the lowlands on the Atlantic coast, from the border of Costa Rica to Honduras. It is thought to be absent from the Pacific coast, although specimens have been collected near there at the Toro rapids on the Río San Juan near Lake Nicaragua. Habitat Its habitat is tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests. It has been collected in trees along streams in pastures, cacao plantations, and secondary woodlands in the 1960s, and possibly old growth forests in the 1890s. It occurs from lowlands to about 1,000m. Behaviour It is diurnal and probably solitary. It forages on the ground and in the understory and is seldom seen in the canopy, more often on the trunk and lower branches according to Jones Jr. & Genoways in 1971. The breeding season is long, from at least February to September, and litters of mostly 3, sometimes 2, young were been reported by Jones Jr. & Genoways based on 6 gravid females. Jones Jr. & Genoways reported that it may moult twice a year. Similar Species It is closely related to Notosciurus granatensis ssp. hoffmanni which replaces it just across the border with Costa Rica. Genetic studies indicate is likely conspecific with N. granatensis, which has been suspected by most workers on it since it was first named (i.e. Nelson, Allen, Jones Jr. & Genoways, Koprowski & Roth). Deppe's squirrel (Sciurus deppei) occurs sympatrically with it throughout its range, although at higher elevations, and is also similarly sized and coloured, and similar in behaviour. Uses It is sometimes hunted for food in Nicaragua. Conservation Jones Jr. & Genoways in 1971 and Reid in 1997 thought the animal probably rare. Baillie considered the species to be 'Lower Risk/near threatened' for the IUCN red list in 1996. In the latest assessment for the IUCN in 2008 the taxon was given a 'Near Threatened' status as it was thought to have a known extent of occurrence of close to 20,000 km2, and the assessors thought it was possible the population was in decline, likely based on anecdotes from the

Wilhelm Hemprich
|
Wilhelm Friedrich Hemprich (24 June 1796 – 30 June 1825) was a German naturalist and explorer. Hemprich was born in Glatz (Kłodzko), Prussian Silesia, and studied medicine at Breslau and Berlin. It was in Berlin that he became friends with Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg, the two men sharing an interest in natural history. Hemprich lectured at Berlin University on comparative physiology, and wrote Grundriss der Naturgeschichte (Compendium of Natural History) (1820). In his spare time he studied reptiles and amphibians at the zoological museum under Hinrich Lichtenstein. In 1820 Hemprich and Ehrenberg were invited to serve as naturalists on a primarily archeological expedition to Egypt, led by Prussian General von Minutoli. The two naturalists were sponsored by the Berlin Academy. In March 1821 they separated from the main party and travelled up the river Nile to Dongola, the capital of Nubia. They spent the next two years studying the natural history of that part of Egypt. In 1823 Hemprich and Ehrenberg sailed across the Gulf of Suez to El Tur on the south-west coast of the Sinai peninsula, remaining there for nine months. During this time they visited Mount Sinai, and Ehrenberg became one of the first naturalists to study the marine life of the Red Sea. In 1824 they visited the Lebanon, travelling inland from Beirut to the summit of the Jebel Liban and making their base at Bcharre. In August they returned to Egypt. In November they set off again along the coasts of the Red Sea, calling at various ports including Jidda. They eventually arrived in the Eritrean port of Massawa, their intention being to visit the highlands of Abyssinia. Unfortunately Hemprich died in Massawa of fever, and Ehrenberg buried him on the island of Toalul. Ehrenberg travelled back to Europe, and in 1828 published an account of their discoveries, under both their names, entitled Symbolae Physicae. The specimens collected by the expedition were deposited at the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin: they included 46,000 botanical specimens of 3000 species and 34,000 animal specimens of 4000 species. These included many new species. Hemprich is commemorated in the names of the sooty gull (Larus hemprichii ), Hemprich's hornbill (Tockus hemprichii), and the fossil amber pseudoscorpion (Pseudogarypus hemprichii). He is also commemorated in the names of two reptiles: Hemprich's skink (Scincus hemprichii) and Hemprich's coral snake (Micrurus hemprichii). References Further reading Baker DB (1997). "C.G.

Team orders
|
In motor racing, team orders is the practice of teams issuing instructions to drivers to deviate from the normal practice of racing against each other as they would against other teams' drivers. This can be accomplished either in advance, simply by establishing a pecking order between the drivers within the team, or instructing a driver to let their teammate overtake or to hold position without the risk of collision. This is generally done when one driver is behind in a particular race but ahead overall in a championship season. The team will then order their drivers to rearrange themselves on the track so as to give more championship points to a driver who is ahead in the championship. Another reason for team orders is where multiple drivers are in a position far ahead of the field, being all but assured of the win. Team orders are issued to prevent the drivers from racing each other; the aim is to have them drive cautiously to save fuel, reduce the chance of mechanical problems, and avoid a collision. This has happened on countless occasions in the history of motorsport, sometimes causing great acrimony between the team and the disadvantaged driver. Team orders in Formula One Early examples Such orders were legal and accepted historically in motor racing. In the early years of the Formula One World Championship, it was even legal for a driver to give up his car during the race to the team leader if the latter's car had broken down. In 1955, the Mercedes team asked Juan Manuel Fangio to let his teammate Stirling Moss win his home Grand Prix at Aintree. Fangio obliged, refusing to attack Moss in the closing stages of the race, and came home in second place, less than a second behind Moss. The 1964 season saw a dramatic finale in which Lorenzo Bandini moved over to John Surtees during the Mexican Grand Prix, allowing Surtees to get the necessary points to beat Graham Hill to the World Championship. In the 1979 German Grand Prix Clay Regazzoni was instructed by the Williams pits not to attack his teammate Alan Jones for the lead, despite Regazzoni being ahead in the championship. The status of Jones as number one driver at Williams lasted until 1981, when Carlos Reutemann deliberately ignored team orders at the 1981 Brazilian Grand Prix and did not allow him to pass. This resulted in a long feud between the two that eventually led to Jones' retirement at the end of the season, with Reutemann missing out on the World Championship for one single point. At the 1982 French Grand Prix, René Arnoux enraged Renault by refusing to give way to his teammate Alain Prost, who at the time was ahead in the championship. However, those three points had no impact, as Prost finished fourth in the championship that year, ten points behind eventual champion Keke Rosberg. During the 1983 South African Grand Prix, the Brabham-BMW team asked driver Riccardo Patrese to cede Nelson Piquet the race win if it ensured Piquet would win the driver's

Kirtley, Texas
|
Kirtley is an unincorporated community in west central Fayette County, Texas, United States. It was once known as Primm. Location Kirtley is located on the highway TX-71 and the Missouri, Kansas, and Texas Railroad (MK&T). William Primm Dr. William Primm, for whom the town was originally named, was an early colonist from a family of wealthy aristocrats in Virginia. He owned a plantation on more than a league of land in western Fayette County, with 2,200 acres under cultivation. After emancipation, Primm's plantation employed 80 tenants to maintain its reputation as one of the best plantations in the area. 600 to 900 bales of cotton were harvested annually. Original Town In the early 1900s, Kirtley was a functioning community. A post office operated from 1902 to 1927, and two schools (grades one through seven) segregated. In the 1934-35 school year, 35 white students and 38 African American students were enrolled in Kirtley schools. The main industry in Kirtley (then Primm) was farming, replaced in the latter half of the 20th century by sand and gravel mining. Farmers in the area raised cotton, corn, and sugarcane. Convicts from the La Grange jail were transported by train to work in Kirtley's fields in the early 1900s. A Mr. Inge owned a grocery store in the old town, and Anton Elias owned a cotton gin and a saloon. These businesses were located across the railroad tracks from the main road, which led from La Grange to Smithville Some of the early settlers included the families of Tom Mikulenka, Jim and Bill Richards, Henry Miller, and Henry Tanecka. These were primarily cotton, corn, and sugarcane farmers. The cemetery around which the town was centered, on land originally owned by Dr. Primm, held some of his family members' burial sites. Among these were his wife Seelia and his son, St. John. The cemetery was surveyed in 1958 by Joe Cole and in 1965 by Norman Krischke, and only six graves were found. Nothing but a large gravel pit could be found at the site in 1986. Name Change Kirtley was originally settled by Dr. William Primm, who owned a portion of land surrounding Primm's Lake beginning in 1840. Prior to Primm, the land was privately owned by William Barton. On the morning of April 7, 1912, the MK&T train #5, with engine MK&T 367, was called out of Smithville for an 8:00am route. On board were conductor Rice, brakemen Adams and Wallace, engineer Farris, and foreman Donnell. The train was scheduled to meet train #6, which was set to leave northbound out of Houston at 2:00am. Train #6, with MK&T engine 544, was a fast freight train with no passengers aboard. On board were conductor Scoggins, brakemen Jones and Rightmer, engineer Hawkins, and foreman Brown. At Fayetteville, #5 was to be the restricted train when it met #6 at Primm, the railroad name for which was Prim. The crew on #5, however, only glanced over their orders and the engineer (C. Farris) read Prim as Plum. The two trains met and collided at West Point Hill right

St. Augustin Catholic Church (Des Moines, Iowa)
|
St. Augustin Catholic Church is a Catholic parish in the Diocese of Des Moines located on the west side of Des Moines, Iowa, United States. It was included as a contributing property in the Greenwood Park Plats Historic District and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013. History The parish began when 12 parishioners from St. Ambrose Cathedral petitioned Bishop Thomas Drumm for a new west side parish in 1920. He assigned the Rev. John Noonan as the founding pastor, and a part of the former Iowa State Fairgrounds property on Grand Avenue was acquired for $20,000. The prominent Boston architectural firm Maginnis & Walsh, who were known for their ecclesiastical work, designed the new parish church. It was built for about for $100,000, and it was dedicated on February 3, 1924. The stained glass windows were added in 1935. The parish paid off its debt of $293,000 and it was consecrated by Bishop Gerald Bergan in 1947. A parish school was established and a seven-room school building was completed in 1926 further west on Grand Avenue. The school was staffed by the Adrian Dominican Sisters. The rectory was added to the church in 1928. A new school building was completed during the pastorate of Msgr. Gerald Walker (1948-1981). The parking lot was enlarged in 1951 when the city discontinued street parking, and a residence at 4111 Grand Avenue was removed around this time. The church complex was enlarged in 1985, 1989, and in 1998. The parking lot and the school building was expanded during the pastorate of Msgr. Frank Bognanno (1990-2000). Architecture The church is English Gothic in style, and it is dominated by a large square tower located at the crossing. The tower is similar in design to the Plymouth Congregational United Church of Christ immediately to the north. The church complex is a brick structure with Bedford stone trim, and a red flat-tile roof. The stained glass windows are the work of Charles Jay Connick of Boston.

List of mosques in France
|
There are currently about 2,300 mosques in France with a further 200 to 250 planned. It is difficult to say when the first mosque in France was built. There is archaeological evidence of an eighth-century mosque in Narbonne, France. The Mosquée de Tsingoni in the overseas department of Mayotte was built in 1538. The Grand Mosque of Paris opened in 1926 is regarded as one of the oldest and largest mosques in France.

Waco (miniseries)
|
Waco is an American television miniseries, developed by John Erick Dowdle and Drew Dowdle, that premiered on January 24, 2018, on Paramount Network. The six-episode series documents the 1993 standoff between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas and it stars Michael Shannon, Taylor Kitsch, Andrea Riseborough, Paul Sparks, Rory Culkin, Shea Whigham, Melissa Benoist, John Leguizamo, Julia Garner, and Glenn Fleshler. The miniseries received a mixed response from critics who praised the performances and tension, but criticized the show's sympathetic approach to cult leader David Koresh. Premise Waco is a dramatized exploration of the 51-day 1993 standoff between the FBI, ATF and David Koresh's religious faction, the Branch Davidians, in Waco, Texas, that culminated in a fatal fire. It investigates the tragedy before and during the standoff, from a variety of viewpoints of those most personally associated with the two sides of the dispute. Cast and characters Main Michael Shannon as Gary Noesner Taylor Kitsch as David Koresh Andrea Riseborough as Judy Schneider Paul Sparks as Steve Schneider Rory Culkin as David Thibodeau Shea Whigham as Mitch Decker Melissa Benoist as Rachel Koresh John Leguizamo as Jacob Vazquez Julia Garner as Michelle Jones Glenn Fleshler as Tony Prince Recurring Guest Hans Christopher as Randy Weaver Samuel Kamphuis as Sammy Weaver Marianna Gallegos as Vicki Weaver Vic Browder as Bo Gritz Sarah Minnich as Sharon Wheeler Rex Linn as Dick DeGuerin Jon Kristian Moore as Jack Zimmerman Connie Ventress as Janet Reno Notes Episodes Series epilogue Series epilogue reads: "The FBI denied using incendiary devices that would ignite a fire. They claimed the Branch Davidian intentionally started the fire in an apparent mass suicide. The Justice Department's Danforth Report in 2000 concluded the fire was started by the Branch Davidians. The report also acknowledged that the FBI had used incendiary flash bang grenades in the assault. Surviving Branch Davidians maintain that there was never a plan for mass suicide. FBI Negotiators successfully secured the release of 35 Branch Davidians during the siege. As a result of the tragedy in Waco, 76 Branch Davidians died in the fire. 25 of them were children." Production Development John Erick Dowdle and Drew Dowdle initially conceived the project as a feature film. That original work eventually developed into a film script that ended up being around 150 pages. Concerned about its length, the brothers even changed the margins in an attempt to make the script shorter and therefore increasing their chances of interesting a studio. Eventually, Drew decided to convert their film project into a limited series, despite never having attempted that sort of format before. After bringing their project to The Weinstein Company, the producers agreed that the story would best be served in a longer format. On August 30, 2016, it was announced that The Weinstein Company, through their Weinstein Television arm, were developing a television miniseries based upon 1993 Branch Davidian siege in Waco, Texas. It was reported that John Erick Dowdle and Drew Dowdle would write the

Income tax in the Netherlands
|
Income tax in the Netherlands (personal, rather than corporate) is regulated by the Wet inkomstenbelasting 2001 (Income Tax Law, 2001). The fiscal year is the same as the calendar year. Before May 1 citizens have to report their income from the previous year. The system integrates the income tax with fees paid for the general old age pension system (AOW), the pension system for partners of deceased people (ANW), and the national insurance system for special medical care (WLZ). There are three categories of income, each with their own tax rates. They are referred to as "boxes". Progressive tax on wages etc. (box 1) There is a progressive tax on wages, social security benefits and pensions. Thus there are tax brackets, each with its own tax rate. Mathematically, apart from discretization (whole euros both for income and for tax), the tax is a continuous, convex, piecewise linear function of income. For 2010, income tax for people under the age 65 is as follows: For the part of income up to €18,218: 2.3%; tax on €18,218 is €419 For the part of income between €18,219 and €32,738: 10.8%; tax on €14,520 is €1,568 For the part of income between €32,739 and €54,367: 42%; tax on €21,629 is €9,084 On all income over €54,367: 52% For 2010, the total tax on income (income tax plus mandatory pension, social security and state funded medical care payments, all of which are a percentage of income up to a maximum) for people under the age 65 is as follows: For the part of income up to €18,218: 33,45%; tax on €18,218 is €6,094 For the part of income between €18,219 and €32,738: 41.95%; tax on €14,520 is €6,091 For the part of income between €32,739 and €54,367: 42%; tax on €21,629 is €9,084 On all income over €54,367: 52% For 2011, income tax for people under the age 65 is as follows: For the part of income up to €18,628: 1.85%; tax on €18,628 is €345 For the part of income between €18,629 and €33,436: 10.8%; tax on €14,808 is €1,599 For the part of income between €33,437 and €55,694: 42%; tax on €22,257 is €9,348 On all income over €55,694: 52% For 2011, the total tax on income (income tax plus mandatory pension, social security and state funded medical care payments, all of which are a percentage of income up to a maximum) for people under the age 65 is as follows: For the part of income up to €18,628: 33%; tax on €18,628 is €6,147 For the part of income between €18,629 and €33,436: 41.95%; tax on €14,808 is €6,212 For the part of income between €33,437 and €55,694: 42%; tax on €22,257 is €9,348 On all income over €55,694: 52% For 2012, income tax for people under the age 65 is as follows: For the part of income up to €18,945: 1.95%; tax on €18,945 is €369 For the part of income between €18,946 and €33,863: 10.8%; tax on €14,909 is €1610 For the part of income between €33,864 and €56,491: 42%; tax on
