Bantayanon language
|
The Bantayanon language is the regional language of the Bantayan islands in the Philippines. It is a part of the Bisayan language family and is closely related to Hiligaynon. There are three dialects of Bantayanon, based in the three municipalities that comprise the island group: Binantayanun (in Bantayan), Linawisanun (in Madridejos), and Sinantapihanun (in Santa Fe), the most idiosyncratic of the three. There are also significant dialectical differences between the speech patterns of those that live in the town centers and those that live outside of the more rural areas of the islands. History of the Bantayanon language The first mention of the language spoken on the Bantayan islands seems to be from the Spanish historian and Jesuit missionary Ignacio Alcina, who wrote in 1668,"Finally, it could have happened that people from various larger or smaller islands passed over to the others, as is an established fact among them. For instance, those on the Island of Bantayan, which is near Cebu, are actually descendants of the people living on Samar Island and on the western side or opposite that of Ibabao. Today, they admit that they are related by blood due to the fact that the latter were populated in more recent times." (translation by editors)The substratum of Bantayanon is that Old Waray dialect that moved across Bantayan and eventually onto Panay Island, and later Bantayanon was heavily influenced in its lexicon by Cebuano. Modern Scholarship on the Bantayanon language The only published scholarship on the Bantayanon language is a Master of Arts thesis presented to Mindanao State University - Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT) by Minda Carabio-Sexon, in which she looks at the lexical relationship between Bantayanon and its neighboring languages, presents findings from mutual-intelligibility tests with related languages, and provides a sociolinguistic profile of the island’s inhabitants. She also provides transcriptions and English translations of two of her collected interviews. There is currently a documentation project of Bantayanon underway by researcher Jarrette K. Allen, a PhD candidate at Tulane University in New Orleans, LA. Phonology and Orthography Bantayanon has 16 consonantal phonemes and 3 vocalic phonemes. The following orthography is the one currently being developed, since Bantayanon is still considered an undocumented / undescribed language with no literary history. It draws on the orthographies of Cebuano, Hiligaynon, and Filipino, but also diverges in some ways. All final plosives in Bantayanon are unreleased. It has not been demonstrated that Bantayanon aspirates any consonants. There are no syllabic consonants in Bantayanon. The following phonemes are written as they are in the IPA (above table): p b t d k g m n s h w l. These phonemes are written as such: If a root in Bantayanon does not begin with another consonant, it begins with a glottal stop stop /ɂ/, but this glottal is only ever indicated in the orthography when that glottal appears word-medially due to affixation or reduplication. The glottal stop /ɂ/ is written as a hyphen (-) in all word-medial positions. This is atypical of Central Bisayan languages, which assume a glottal between vowels (i.e. aa = /aɂa/).

1981 Tour de France
|
The 1981 Tour de France was the 68th edition of the Tour de France, taking place between 25 June and 19 July. The total race distance was 24 stages over . It was dominated by Bernard Hinault, who led the race from the sixth stage on, increasing his lead almost every stage. Only Phil Anderson was able to stay close to him, until the 16th stage when he fell behind by about 7:00, and then on the 17th stage he would lose another 17 minutes. In the end only Lucien Van Impe, Robert Alban and Joop Zoetemelk were able to finish inside 20:00 of the now three time champ. The points classification was won by Freddy Maertens, who did so by winning five stages. The mountains classification was won by Lucien Van Impe, Peter Winnen won the young rider classification, and the Peugeot team won the team classification. Teams Late 1980, there were plans to make the tour "open", which meant that amateur teams would also be allowed to join. This would make it possible for teams from Eastern Europe to join. The plan did not materialize, so only professional teams were invited. In January 1981, the organisation decided that there would be 15 teams with 10 cyclists, or 16 teams with 9 cyclists each. At that point, 16 teams had already submitted a request to join, and the organisation was in discussion with four additional Italian teams, and the American national team. In the end, the American team did not apply, and the Italian teams decided to focus on the 1981 Giro d'Italia. The organisation selected 15 teams, who each selected 10 cyclists, for a total of 150 participants. The teams entering the race were: Pre-race favourites Bernard Hinault, the winner of the 1978 and 1979 Tour de France and reigning world champion, was the main favourite. His knee problems, that caused him to leave the 1980 Tour de France, were solved, and he was in form: Hinault had won important races in the spring, and he had skipped the 1981 Giro d'Italia to focus on the Tour. His main rivals were 1980 Tour de France winner Joop Zoetemelk, 1976 Tour de France winner Lucien Van Impe and Joaquim Agostinho, although they had never been able to beat Hinault when he was in form, and of these rivals only Zoetemelk was ever able to keep Hinault within striking distance. Freddy Maertens, the winner of the points classification in the Tour de France in 1976 and 1978, had won only three minor races in 1979 and 1980, but in 1981 he was selected again for the Tour. Route and stages The route for the 1981 Tour de France was revealed in December 1980. Originally, the thirteenth stage was planned as a time trial, followed by a transfer of more than 500 km on the same day, with the fourteenth stage the next day as a mountain stage. A few months before the Tour, there were many teams interested in the Tour, and the Tour organisation was afraid that there would not be

Club Universitario de Deportes–Sporting Cristal rivalry
|
The Universitario–Sporting Cristal rivalry is a major rivalry in Peruvian football. Both clubs have been very successful in the Torneo Decentralizado, with a combined total of 44 league titles since the expansion of the competition in 1966. Clashes between the two teams tend to generate large amounts of excitement, due to the stature of both clubs and the high quality of football on display. From the first classic played in 1956, which ended tied 2-2 with goals from Daniel Ruiz twice to the cream while Roberto Martinez and Enrique Vargas scored for the celestial, the two clubs have met in 196 opportunities in official meetings, Universitario has achieved 74 victories, while Sporting Cristal has 64 wins. Rivalry One of the main reasons for the enmity between the two clubs is due to a series of transfers of footballers emblematic Universitario to Sporting Cristal, starting in the year of 1959 with the signing of Alberto Terry and subsequently signings Héctor Chumpitaz, Eleazar Soria, Percy Rojas, Héctor Bailetti, Juan Carlos Oblitas and Oswaldo Ramírez in 1977. Another cause of this great rivalry between cream and celestial is the amount of international participation that both clubs have been in official tournaments organized by the Confederación Sudamericana de Fútbol, where Universitario Peruvian all over disputed continental cups, with 38 occasions, followed by Sporting Cristal with 33 occasions. To this should be added the popularity of both clubs, as several polls put both teams in the top of preferences along with Alianza Lima.

Danny Sullivan (footballer)
|
Daniel Michael C Sullivan (born 1 September 1994) is an English footballer who plays for Truro City as a forward. After rising through Torquay United's youth system, Sullivan made his senior debut in August 2013. Career Youth team Sullivan attended Ivybridge Community College and played in the same Plymouth Schools side as future Plymouth Argyle professionals Tyler Harvey and Matt Lecointe in 2009. He joined Argyle as a schoolboy but was released and signed for Torquay United on a two-year scholarship in July 2011. Sullivan made his debut for the youth team in August 2011 against Oxford United; the Herald Express claimed his performance "may well have caught the eye" of visiting scouts from Manchester United and Fulham. By November 2011, he was combining youth team duties with playing for Torquay's reserves. He began the 2012–13 season in fine form after being converted from attacking midfield to lone striker by the club's Head of Youth Geoff Harrop, and he scored a hat-trick in United youth's first game, a 4–3 loss to Swindon Town. After impressive displays over his two years with Torquay's youth team, Sullivan was awarded a professional contract in August 2012 by then-manager Martin Ling, who described the forward as "our youth team's best attacking player for some time." Sullivan was allocated the number 31 shirt and added to Torquay's first team squad for the 2012–13 season. Although Sullivan did not make any appearances for the first team and continued to play for Torquay's youth side, he was named as the club's Young Player of the Season for 2012–13. Senior team Alan Knill was appointed as the club's new manager in summer 2013 and gave Sullivan the chance to prove himself in Torquay's pre-season friendlies, giving the youngster playing time against Tiverton Town, Salisbury City and Yeovil Town. Sullivan duly scored in the latter game in a 2–0 win after coolly rounding Yeovil goalkeeper Marek Stech. After impressive cameos in Torquay's pre-season fixtures, Sullivan was named as a substitute (having seemingly overtaken Ashley Yeoman in the striking roster) for the opening game of the season against AFC Wimbledon on 3 August. He made his senior debut a week later as a late substitute in the 1–1 draw at Morecambe, becoming the 999th player to play for Torquay since they joined the Football League in 1927. On 13 August, Sullivan scored twice in a 3–2 friendly win over Cheltenham Town – one with either foot – prompting Knill to admit, "When I watched Danny last year, I wasn't totally convinced, but he's earned our confidence this season." The forward made his home debut in a 0–0 Football League Cup draw with Portsmouth on 3 September; Torquay lost 5–3 on penalties. Sullivan's second league appearance arrived four days later, coming off the bench in a 4–1 defeat at Fleetwood Town. A week later he replaced Jordan Chapell late in the 1–0 loss at Rochdale, but Sullivan had to wait until mid-November for his next appearance, again as a substitute in the 2–0 home reverse against Chesterfield. On 5 February 2014, Sullivan joined

Championship ring
|
A championship ring is a ring presented to members of winning teams in North American professional sports leagues, and college tournaments. Championship rings are unique to the North American sports. Since only one championship trophy is awarded by the league to the winning team, championship rings are distributed as a collectible memento for the actual players and team officials to keep for themselves to symbolize the victory. Winners' medals (and runners-up medals) are not awarded in North American professional sports, in contrast to Olympic team sports and European club association football tournaments such as the Premier League and UEFA Champions League. Championship rings are distributed by and paid for by the winning team (although some leagues may partially subsidize the cost), in contrast to medals which are awarded by the league or competition governing body. In addition, the championship in North American pro team sports is the culmination of the regular season and playoff tournament, while in European club football the league championship and domestic/continental cups are separate competitions. For North American pro teams, the playoff league championship is the single most significant part of the season. Indeed, most teams and fans in North America do not consider division titles or conference titles to be notable honors at all, and therefore in practice teams in major North American professional sports consider themselves to compete annually for only a single honor, the league championship, which is determined by a playoff tournament that is seeded based on regular season performance. This is in sharp contrast to European football clubs who celebrate and compete for both regular-season "league" titles and domestic/international playoff tournament "cups". Championship rings have long been part of North American sports lexicon. An individual's number of championship rings, rather than number of championship trophies, is often used by sportswriters as a tally of a their personal success, since it is more appropriate to write that it is the team/franchise/club and not the individual who wins the championship trophy (i.e. number of NBA Championship rings rather than Larry O'Brien Trophies won by former NBA coach Phil Jackson). In North American sports vernacular, a player's aim of wanting the "ring" is synonymous with winning the playoff league championship, and it has entered popular lexicon (retired basketball center Shaquille O'Neal was quoted as saying "My motto is very simple: Win a Ring for the King", former NHL goaltender Patrick Roy remarking "I can't hear what Jeremy says, because I've got my two Stanley Cup rings plugging my ears"). The four best known (and expensive) championship rings are the ones from the "Big Four" major professional sports leagues in North America; the Major League Baseball's (MLB) World Series ring, the National Basketball Association's (NBA) Championship ring, National Football League (NFL) Super Bowl ring, and the National Hockey League's (NHL) Stanley Cup ring. In North American sports, besides rings to commemorate winning the league championship game/series, rings are often presented to the championship game/series finalists (known as losers' rings, which are never worn), and conference championship game/series winners. There are also individual rings given to All-Star Game

St Columba's Convent, Dalby
|
St Columba's Convent is a heritage-listed Roman Catholic convent at 169 Cunningham Street, Dalby, Western Downs Region, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by George Bernard Roskell and built in 1913 by John Draney. It is also known as Iona. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 9 December 2010. History The former St Columba's Convent was built in 1913 for the Sisters of Mercy from a design by local architect George Bernard Roskell, to provide accommodation for the nuns and the boarding students in their care. At that time, the town of Dalby and its surrounding rural districts were experiencing economic growth. The Sisters of Mercy occupied the convent until 1990, after which it was purchased by the Dalby parish and used as a student hostel, before being leased as a youth and community centre. Dalby evolved as part of the expansion of one of the most significant pastoral regions in Queensland, the Darling Downs. The township was first laid out by Surveyor EO Moriaty in 1852. Due to an error in flood levels, Captain Samuel Augustus Perry, the Deputy Surveyor General of New South Wales resurveyed the township in 1853, naming it Dalby after a location on the Isle of Man. The Town Reserve was declared in the New South Wales Government Gazette in August 1855. Dalby soon had a range of government services, including a post office in August 1854, the declaration of the Dalby Police District in 1855, and the establishment of a National School in 1859. The first urban land sales were held in 1857 and the Town of Dalby was gazetted as a municipality on 29 August 1863. The extension of the Western railway line from Toowoomba to Dalby in 1868 led to a boom in the town which only diminished when the line was extended further west in 1877. At the time of the appointment of James Quinn as the first Roman Catholic Bishop of Brisbane in 1861, the population of the Colony of Queensland was 30,059, of whom 7,696 (39%) were Catholics. The proportion of Catholics in the main towns of the Darling Downs was: 18% in Warwick, 22% in Toowoomba, 28% in Dalby and 32% in Drayton. Initially Catholic pastoral care in Dalby was irregular; visiting priests had to celebrate mass in local hotels like Josiah Milstead's Plough Inn Hotel from 1855. The first Catholic school in Dalby was established in 1864. Dalby's first Catholic church, St Joseph's was opened by Bishop Quinn in August 1866. In 1876 Quinn instructed Father Denis Byrne, curate of Dalby, to establish a convent in the town, using £400 that the Sisters of Mercy of All Hallows Convent in Brisbane had allocated for the purpose. The Sisters of Mercy, having initially travelled to Queensland with Bishop Quinn in 1860, were integral to the expansion of Catholic schools across the state. A new commodious version of the Plough Inn Hotel, built in 1863, was sold as part of the estate of pastoralist CC Macdonald. A half share of the property - lots 14, 15 and 16 (originally

Nature connectedness
|
Nature connectedness is the extent to which individuals include nature as part of their identity. It includes an understanding of nature and everything it is made up of, even the parts that are not pleasing. Characteristics of nature connectedness are similar to those of a personality trait: nature connectedness is stable over time and across various situations. Schultz describes three components that make up the nature connectedness construct: The cognitive component is the core of nature connectedness and refers to how integrated one feels with nature. The affective component is an individual's sense of care for nature. The behavioral component is an individual's commitment to protect the natural environment. These three components make up nature connectedness and are required for a healthy relationship with nature. If an individual feels connected to nature (possibly by spending time in it), they may be more inclined to care about nature, and protect the environment. Recent research has found that nature exposure (and feeling connected to nature at a trait level) provides many benefits to humans such as well-being. Other researchers describe the nature connectedness construct in a simpler manner. For instance, nature connectedness can be thought of as a love of nature (also referred to as emotional affinity toward nature). Similarly, nature connectedness can be defined as how much a person believes they are the same as nature (more specifically, a person's connectivity with nature) or it can be thought of as simply feeling emotionally connected with nature. Nature connectedness (as a construct) is also known as nature relatedness, connectivity with nature, emotional affinity toward nature, or inclusion of nature in self. Although nature relatedness is a stable individual trait, it can change based on one's experience with nature, meaning the more time an individual spends in nature, the more connected they feel to nature and the more concern they may feel for nature. Feeling connected to nature at a state level has many benefits as well such as more positive moods and less negative moods. Even though humans derive many benefits from nature, our modern lifestyles have created a disconnect from the natural environment wherein we spend significantly more time indoors. Some researchers estimate that humans spend up to 90% of their lives indoors. This disconnection from nature can have a negative impact on humans because we are missing out on the beneficial effects of nature. As a result, we are less connected to nature and feel less responsibility to protect this environment. Theory and biophilia Our relationship with the natural environment can be understood through the concept of biophilia and the biophilia hypothesis. This term is defined as humans' innate need to affiliate with other life such as plants and animals. This essentially means that humans have a desire to be near nature. This built in desire may be the result of spending the majority of our evolutionary history (over 99%) closely connected to nature. Biophilia is genetic meaning those humans who were closely connected to nature throughout history would, presumably, have had better access to food and fresh water. For example, someone

Francsi initially flew as a bomber pilot in the Luftwaffe and transferred to the night fighter force in late 1941. He served in Nachtjagdgeschwader 100 (NJG 100—Night Fighter Wing 100) and was credited with 56 aerial victories, 49 of which on the Eastern Front. He flew over 250 combat missions and was awarded Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross. Fransci's record is unique in the Luftwaffe, for he was the leading night fighter ace on the Eastern Front. Despite his high total, he remains only thirteenth on the list of the most successful German night fighter aces. Francsi survived the war but did not re-join the armed forces. On 6 October 1961, he died off the Spanish coast near Sant Feliu de Guíxols in an attempt to rescue his drowning fiancé. Early life and career Francsi was born on 4 November 1914 in Gierswalde, present-day part of Uslar, at the time a village in the German Empire during World War I. World War II Francsi flew over 100 combat missions as a bomber pilot with 2. Staffel (2nd squadron) of Kampfgeschwader 40 (KG 40—40th Bomber Wing) in the Norwegian Campaign against Narvik and in the Battle of Britain. In late 1941, he transferred to the night fighter force where he spend nearly years instructing and serving in secondary roles. Francsi was posted to the 1. Staffel of Nachtjagdgeschwader 100 (NJG 100—100th Night Fighter Wing) operating on the Eastern Front. Francsi joined the unit in late 1943. Eastern Front NJG 100 was created on 1 August 1943 to meet the threat of Red Air Force nocturnal operations on the Eastern Front. 1 staffel was formed from 12./Nachtjagdgeschwader 5 1 staffel was initially attached to Luftflotte 6 (Air Fleet 6) supporting Army Group Centre. To expand the Geschwader further, 10./NJG 5 was reformed as 2./NJG 100 and attached to Luftflotte 4 (Air Fleet 4) supporting Army Group North. In December another two Staffeln were introduced; 3 and 4 staffel were also attached to Luftflotte 6. They remained on the central sector until 2 staffel moved to support Army Group South in December and was tasked with defending Romania, in particular Bucharest. NJG 100 also operated from Focșani, Buzău, Otopeni, Zilişte until the country was overrun by the Red Army. The smallest operating unit of NJG 100 was a schäwrme (two pairs of two aircraft). This was the result of the far-flung deployment of the Eastern Front night fighter forces. Each schäwrme was a small staffel (squadron) which was about a quarter the size of a standard unit. The lack of numerical strength as offset by the use of the Himmelbett (canopy bed defence system which made the Kammhuber Line), consisting of a rail-portable Freya radar station. Although the German Eastern Front units often lacked airborne radar, they were assisted by a ground radar controller. Fransci and 2 staffel were based at Stalino and Poltava. The gap between the small units were

Rajadiraja Chola II
|
Rajadhiraja Chola II (1163 – 1063 C.E.) reigned as the Chola king succeeding Rajaraja Chola II. He was not the direct descendant of Rajaraja Chola II, but a grandson of Vikrama Chola by his daughter. Rajaraja Chola II chose Rajadhiraja as his heir as he did not have any sons of his own. Soon after the installation of Rajadhiraja II, a fierce succession dispute in the Pandya country led to the intervention of the Chola and the Sinhalese rulers on opposite sides which brought misery to both. Out of the ashes of this civil war arose the Pandya power which in its renewed strength soon swallowed both the Chola and Sinhalese kingdoms. Pandya Civil War After the conquest of the Pandya country by Kulothunga Chola I, the local Pandya princes were allowed to rule as they liked, subject to a vague suzerainty of the Cholas. Someof the Pandyas were loyal to the Cholas as can be seen by one Parantaka Pandya took part in Kulothunga I's Kalinga campaigns. But after Kulothunga I, the cholas lost any little control they had over the Pandyas. There are hardly any inscriptions to be found in the Pandya country after the reign of Kulothunga Chola I. About 1166 C.E. Parakrama Pandya in Madurai, and Kulasekara quarrelled about the succession and Kulasekara attacked Madurai. Parakrama appealed to the Lanka king Parakramabahu I. Before the Sinhala help could reach Parakrama, Kulasekara took Madurai and killed Parakarama, his wife and some of his children. The sinhala king instructed his general to continue to war until Kulasekara is defeated and the Pandaya throne is bestowed upon a son of Parakrama Pandya. Kulasekara put up a good fight and the Sinhala forces had to get reinforcements from Lanka. Kulasekara then appealed to Rajadhiraja Chola II, and a large force was sent to his aid. However Kulasekara lost his fight against the Lankan forces. The Lankan general installed Virapandya, a son of Parakrama Pandya on the throne. The fight continued between the Chola forces and that of the Sinhala. The Chola army soon defeated the Sinhalese forces and drove them back to the island. Parakramabahu prepared a counter offensive against the Chola mainland. On hearing this the Chola general induced Srivallabha, a rival of Parakramabahu to the Sinhala throne to undertake an invasion of the Lanka island. A naval expedition landed in Lanka and attacked and destroyed many places. Seeing the damage his support of Parakrama Pandya had brought to him, Parakramabahu recognised Kulasekara as the rightful king of the Pandyas, and entered into an alliance with him against the Cholas. Cholas discovered Kulasekara's treachery and changed their policy at once. After further fighting, the Cholas set up Virapandya on the Pandya throne and drove Kulasekara into exile Empire weakens The growing independence of the local feudatories and chieftains started during Rajaraja Chola II became more pronounced in Rajadhiraja's reign. They began to extend more and more of their influences in the central government. This manipulation of the king's authority undermined the central administration to effectively exercise its control over the local

River Eea
|
The River Eea () is a small river in the Lake District, Cumbria, England running through the Furness region, which until 1974 was part of Lancashire. It is a relatively short system that arises from numerous small becks and streams throughout the Cartmel Valley. Its course is approximately 10 km long and its mouth is on Sand Gate marshes near Flookburgh, between Barrow and Kendal. It principally flows in a south-westerly direction. Geography The river's source is a spring in the hills, meaning it flows all year round. Its upper course is called Whitestone Beck. The river's main tributaries are Muddypool and Ayside Beck, which converge above Cartmel. The river rises near High Cark in Newton Fell and the Whitestone Enclosure, and is soon fed by Black Beck (emanating from Fair Rigg south of Staveley-in-Cartmel) and Ayside Pool (rising above Ayside). From there, the River Eea runs past Green Bank and through Cartmel and Cark before flowing via Sand Gate Marsh into the estuary of the River Leven at Lenibrick Point, close to Chapel Island. It is now used as a fieldwork study point for the Castle Head Field Studies Centre where students are able to measure variables of the river such as the stream velocity, width, depth, turbidity, pebble roundedness, sinuosity etc. The name may be derived from a plenty of eels gathering in its lower course during high tides ("eea" was a Viking word for eel), or from the Old Cumbrian "ia" (ice), or the Old English "ēa" (a river). Geology To the west of the catchment area the rock is mainly slate, but to the east there are deposits of limestone. Sinkholes in the limestone can cause the river to disappear for some time. Fishing The river is stocked with brown trout, but wild brown and sea trout are also found and fished from the river. References Eea Category:History of Lancashire Eea 1Eea

Wonder Woman's bracelets
|
The Bracelets of Submission are a pair of metal bracelets or cuffs worn by Wonder Woman and other Amazons. They were an original creation by William Moulton Marston as an allegory for his philosophy on loving submission and the emotional control associated with it in order to balance out the strength of the human ego. These bracelets have thus far proven indestructible and able to absorb the impact of incoming attacks, allowing Wonder Woman to not only deflect automatic weapon fire, energy blasts and other projectile weaponry, but also to absorb forces from a long fall. Symbolism of empowerment William Moulton Marston depicted the origin story the Amazons as Greek women who had been bound by the wrists by men, who at one point realized their power and broke free. They then moved to their own women-only island, where, in the absence of male oppression, they grew progressively stronger and longer lived. The "Bracelets of Submission" were still worn as a cautionary reminder: to forfeit one's independence by allowing male dominance over their will sapped them of their own power. The inspiration to give Diana bracelets came from the pair of bracelets worn by Olive Byrne, creator William Moulton Marston's research assistant and lover. "Wonder Woman and her sister Amazons have to wear heavy bracelets to remind them of what happens to a girl when she lets a man conquer her," quoted Marston in a 1942 interview. "The Amazons once surrendered to the charm of some handsome Greeks and what a mess they got themselves into. The Greeks put them in chains of the Hitler type, beat them, and made them work like horses in the fields. Aphrodite, goddess of love, finally freed these unhappy girls. But she laid down the rule [Aphrodite's Law] that they must never surrender to a man for any reason. I know of no better advice to give modern women than this rule that Aphrodite gave the Amazon girls." Marston used bondage as a symbol concept. As a psychologist, Marston believed that "kinky doesn't make something wrong or weak, abuse does". Central to feminism is the idea that women are systematically subordinated, and bad faith exists when women surrender their agency to this subordination. Marston was heavily influenced by his "marriage" with two women, one being the niece of Margaret Sanger and daughter of Ethel Byrne, both radical feminists and pioneering supporters of birth control and abortion, and prominent supports of eugenics. Publication history Pre-Crisis In the Golden Age of Comics, the Amazons of Paradise Island were depicted wearing the bracelets as a symbol of submission to their patron goddess Aphrodite and, under the goddess's instruction, as a reminder to the Amazons of the folly of submitting to men and the resultant period when they were subjugated under the rule of the treacherous Hercules. The bracelets were magically made to be indestructible by Aphrodite. The bracelets were useful, as magically indestructible gauntlets they could be used to deflect bullets, energy weapons, and any murderous weapons in Man's World. Originally portrayed as being bronze, in Wonder Woman #52,

Chesterfield, New Hampshire
|
Chesterfield is a town in Cheshire County, New Hampshire, United States. The population was 3,604 at the 2010 census. It includes the villages of Spofford and West Chesterfield. Chesterfield is home to Spofford Lake, Chesterfield Gorge Natural Area, and parts of Pisgah State Park and Wantastiquet Mountain State Forest. History Granted in 1735 by Governor Jonathan Belcher of Massachusetts, this town was the site of Fort Number 1, first in the line of forts bordering the Connecticut River. After the border between Massachusetts and New Hampshire was fixed, the town was incorporated on 11 February 1752 by Governor Benning Wentworth as Chesterfield, named for Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield. The first settlers were Moses Smith and William Thomas, who, with their families, came up the Connecticut in canoes, in the fall of 1761. Their chief subsistence through the winter and spring of their first year in the wilderness consisted of salmon and shad, of which there was a great abundance in the river, and deer, which were numerous in the forests. The town contains some of the finest farmland in Cheshire County, yet once was home to small manufacturing, notably spinning wheel parts and handtools. In 1772, Philip Embury conducted the first Methodist religious services in New Hampshire at the James Robertson farm in Chesterfield, and in 1803, Francis Asbury preached here. Asbury Church is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is recognized for its historic puritan design. Asbury Church is considered the "Mother Church of Methodism" in New Hampshire, and is the oldest Methodist church in New Hampshire. The town has had continual Methodist Sunday services for over 225 years. Chesterfield Academy, established in 1794, was for decades one of the most celebrated in the state. Spofford Lake is one of the region's largest and oldest resorts. Geography According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of , of which is land and (4.21%) is water. Chesterfield is bounded on the west by the Connecticut River. The highest point in the town is near its southern border, atop Davis Hill, at above sea level. Chesterfield lies fully within the Connecticut River watershed. The town is served by state routes 9 and 63. Adjacent municipalities Westmoreland (north) Keene (northeast) Swanzey (east) Winchester (south) Hinsdale (south) Brattleboro, Vermont (southwest) Dummerston, Vermont (west) Demographics As of the census of 2000, there were 3,542 people, 1,366 households, and 1,005 families residing in the town. The population density was 77.7 people per square mile (30.0/km²). There were 1,632 housing units at an average density of 35.8 per square mile (13.8/km²). The racial makeup of the town was 97.80% White, 0.23% African American, 0.56% Native American, 0.17% Asian, 0.08% from other races, and 1.16% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.56% of the population. There were 1,366 households out of which 32.7% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 63.5% were married couples living together, 6.9% had a female householder with no husband present, and 26.4% were non-families. 20.4%

Sensation Lawn Mowers
|
Sensation Lawn Mowers was a commercial lawnmower brand created by Howard Phelps in 1944. The Sensation Lawn Mower Company was located in Ralston, Nebraska, USA. History Howard Phelps received patent number 2,265,545 on his mowing machine, which featured a rotary cutting blade directly driven by an industrial quality electric motor in 1941. This very prototype still exists and is on display at the Pioneer Village Museum in Minden, NE. The Sensation Lawn Mower Company was started by Howard and his wife Rosemary Rodman Phelps. Phelps designed a gasoline powered mower in 1944. Later during the 1950s a generation of snow blowers were developed under the name of Snow Blow. Phelps held patents on over 20 innovations in the lawn industry including the first for a rotary mower grass catcher U.S. patent number 2,855,744 in 1960. In 1966 Phelps sold the company to local real estate agent Frank Rogers who in turn sold it to a group of Chicago investors headed by Carl Johnson the plant was moved to 16th and Evans Streets in North Omaha, Nebraska. The "Sensation Mike Bike" was named after Frank Rogers son Mike. In November 1982 the Sensa after Frank Rogertion Lawn Mower Company was bought by Gilson Brothers, which is considered one of the founding industries of Wisconsin by researchers at the University of Wisconsin. Gilson Brothers' products were distinctive due to a bright orange and white color scheme. In 1988 Gilson was bought out by Lawnboy, which was acquired in 1989 by Toro. Sensation brand lawn mowers are no longer produced but are still in use today. Mowers were available with the Sensation brand into the 1980s. The Sensation brand was preferred by many landscapers because to their perceived high-quality and apparent longevity. The mower was considered unique because of features such as greaseable wheels, thick cast aluminum decks, and some unique innovations like a cone-shaped metal crankshaft support which was purported to help prevent bending of the crankshaft. Brand timeline 1942 - Sensation Mower Inc. founded by Howard Phelps. 1966 - Phelps sells the company to local real estate agent Frank Rogers. 1967 - Rogers sells the company to a group of Chicago investors headed by Carl Johnson. 1982 - Sensation Lawn Mower Company was bought by Gilson Brothers. 1980s - Sensation Lawn Mowers cease to be sold.

In 2009, he started a YouTube channel where he created a series of short movies of humor and action with special effects. Biography In May 2018, he was appointed referent for the youth of the party Act, the Constructive Right for the territory of Nord-Isère. In November 2018, he announced that he became singer for his new French post-grunge band named Breaking Ceremony. A few days later, he says that he is working on a social network project against school bullying he will soon propose to the French government to replace their current platform. The website should consist of two parts. A first that will be a social network, where child victims can anonymously testify and help each other. The second part will be a section "assistance" with a digital chat communication with professionals, providing information on legal and psychological issues, available without stopping. The "assistance" section will have many resource pages to help victims and parents of victims on topics that have been raised. The idea will be widely relayed by the media, described as innovative and hailed by many child psychologists and associations as breaking all the codes of the current system. In January 2019, he is named referent for the NGO "Respect Zone" for the Rhône-Alpes region. He is called by ministers Adrien Taquet and Cédric O to present his platform project named S.A.H.S for "Stop the school bullying" to the French government on July 17, 2019.

Cape Smyth
|
Cape Smyth () is the southern extremity of Sturge Island in the Balleny Islands. In 1841, Captain James C. Ross, viewing Sturge Island from a considerable distance, thought it a group of three islands. He named the southernmost "Smyth Island" for his friend Captain William Henry Smyth, Royal Navy, President of the Royal Astronomical Society. Ross' error was discovered in 1904 by Captain Robert F. Scott, who applied the name to the southernmost point on Sturge Island. Other locations named Cape Smyth are: (1) the south-western point of Melville Island, between Warrington Bay and Hardy Bay, in the Canadian Northwest Territories; (2) Inuit ‘Nuwak’ (‘north point’) just west of Point Barrow, Alaska, the most northerly point of U.S. territory. The latter, briefly also called ‘Cape North’, was applied by Captain Frederick Beechey of the Blossom for (later Admiral) William Smyth (c. 1800–1877) who surveyed it with others from that ship in 1826. https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=0y48AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA108&lpg=PA108&dq=cape+smyth+point+barrow&source=bl&ots=AUymog872d&sig=O4Lw1JkRG8CzxC_ZVUh0Vxs5rxw&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiTt5bPtc_TAhVnKMAKHbCCCg4Q6AEIMDAD#v=onepage&q=cape%20smyth%20point%20barrow&f=false References Category:Headlands of the Balleny Islands

Olsen and Johnson
|
John Sigvard "Ole" Olsen (November 6, 1892 – January 26, 1963) and Harold Ogden "Chic" Johnson (March 5, 1891 – February 26, 1962) were American comedians of vaudeville, radio, the Broadway stage, motion pictures and television. Their shows were noted for their crazy blackout gags and orchestrated mayhem ("anything can happen, and it probably will"). Their most famous concept, Hellzapoppin, has become show-business shorthand for freewheeling, anything-goes comedy; it enjoyed a lengthy run on Broadway and spawned a movie version. Overview Ole Olsen and Chic Johnson began as musical entertainers: Olsen played the violin and Johnson played ragtime piano. They met in 1914 when Olsen hired Johnson to replace the pianist in his College Four quartet. Ole and Chic hit it off immediately and joined forces for a vaudeville act. No joke was too old, no song too corny for Ole and Chic, and the two engaging comics became a minor sensation in the Midwest. Radio enlarged their audience and led to appearances in early talkie movies for Warner Bros. and two more minor features for Republic Pictures. The movies of the 1930s, though, were much too confining for Olsen and Johnson's special brand of nut humor. Ole and Chic recited their lines and played off each other well, but their scripts were too formal, leaving the team little room for their nonsensical comedy. During the summer of 1932, they were featured each week on NBC's (radio) Red Network's Fleischmann's Yeast Hour. Based on surviving samples, Rudy Vallee did not interact with them on-air. The intense and fast-paced segments were titled "The Padded Cell of the Air". As 1932 was a presidential election year, they nominated Mickey Mouse for President. The "Padded Cell..." segments are clearly a predecessor of Hellzapoppin'. Comedy teams traditionally had a straight man and a stooge. However, Olsen and Johnson both took on the comic role, goodnaturedly chuckling their way through the steady barrage of gunshots, explosions, props plummeting to earth, intrusions from other performers and input from the audience. In 1938, they mounted their revue Hellzapoppin. Sophisticated Broadway audiences were unprepared for such chaos: stray props came out of nowhere, comic characters were planted in the audience and disrupted the action, Olsen and Johnson dashed on and off the stage in crazy costumes and indulged in cheerfully earthy humor, chorus girls lost their skirts, and vaudeville acts did their trick specialties. The show never played the same way twice. On some nights songs would be preempted by jokes, and on others jokes would be interrupted by songs. In 1941, Universal Pictures decided to commit Hellzapoppin' to film (unlike the musical, including an apostrophe in the title), with plenty of crazy and sometimes innovative gags: A cab driver literally goes to hell, with Olsen and Johnson as his reluctant passengers. A serious song by Robert Paige and Jane Frazee is interrupted when a title card crashes on the screen, advising one Stinky Miller to go home. Man-chasing Martha Raye pursues Mischa Auer, who finds himself suddenly stripped down to his underwear and running a mock track meet. The

Climate commitment
|
Climate commitment describes the fact that climate reacts with a delay to influencing factors ("climate forcings") such as the presence of greenhouse gases. Climate commitment studies attempt to assess the amount of future global warming that is "committed" under the assumption of some constant level of forcings. The constant level often used for illustrative purposes is doubling or quadrupling; or the present level of forcing. Basic idea If a perturbation — such as an increase in greenhouse gases or solar activity — is applied to the climate system the response will not be immediate, principally because of the large heat capacity (i.e., thermal inertia) of the oceans. As an analogue, consider the heating of a thin metal plate (by the sun or by a flame): the plate will warm relatively quickly. If a thick metal block is heated instead, it will take much longer for the entire block to reach equilibrium with the imposed heating because of its higher heat capacity. Land only stores heat in the top few meters. Ocean water, by contrast, can move vertically and store heat within the ocean's depth (convection). This is why the land surface is observed to warm more than the oceans. It also explains the very large difference in response between "equilibrium" climate prediction runs in which only a shallow ocean is used and it is assumed that the climate has come to equilibrium and "transient" climate prediction runs in which a full ocean is used and the climate is out of balance. The "commitment" can apply to variables other than temperature: because of the long mixing time for heat into the deep ocean, a given surface warming commits to centuries of sea level rise from thermal expansion of the ocean. Also once a certain threshold is crossed, it is likely that a slow melting of the Greenland ice sheet will commit us to a sea level rise of 5m over millennia. Models Recent models forecast that even in the unlikely event of greenhouse gases stabilizing at present levels, the earth would warm by an additional 0.5°C by 2100, a similar rise in temperature to that seen during the 20th century. In 2050, as much as 64% of that commitment would be due to past natural forcings. Over time, their contribution compared to the human influence will diminish. Overall, the warming commitment at 2005 greenhouse gas levels could exceed 1°C. As ocean waters expand in response to this warming, global sea levels would mount by about 10 centimeters during that time. These models do not take into account ice cap and glacier melting; including those climate feedback effects would give a 1–1.5°C estimated temperature increase. History This is by no means a new idea, the concept is discussed in the IPCC TAR and in the SAR in 1995. References External links Category:Climatology

The Ashes (rugby league)
|
The Ashes series, similar to the cricket series of the same name, is a best-of-three series of test matches between the English (previously British) and Australian national rugby league football teams. It has been contested 39 times from 1908 until 2003 largely with hosting rights alternating between the two countries. From 1973 Australia won thirteen consecutive Ashes series. The next ashes tour will be played in the UK in 2020 at 3 venues University of Bolton Stadium, Elland Road and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. History Several sports and events adopted cricket's Ashes "concept" and by the beginning of the 20th century it was an "accepted principle" that a series had to have at least three matches to be a true test of which side was the best. On 27 September 1908, the first touring Australian rugby league side arrived in England, and played their first ever Test against the England side in December in London. Two further Tests were played. The Australians suggested that the series should be called "The Ashes" and the name stuck. The format used is that three matches are played, with the winning team being decided on the basis of most matches won. If one team has already won two matches the series is already won, however the final game is usually still played. In the 1929–30 Ashes series both the teams won one game and one game was drawn; it was therefore decided to hold a further match to determine the outcome. The British side has not always been termed Great Britain; in the past the titles "Northern Union XIII", "England" and "The Lions" have also been used. Similarly, from the 1911–12 Kangaroo tour until the 1929–30 tour, Australian touring sides had included New Zealand players so were styled "Australasia", though when playing at home they always played as Australia. Since 1964 the Harry Sunderland Medal is awarded to the best Australian player in a home Ashes series. Since Great Britain's win in Australia in 1970, the series has been very one sided with Australia having won 13 consecutive ashes, 5 of those (1979, 1982, 1984, 1986 and 2003) being 3-0 series whitewashes while the 1988 series had already been won by Australia in the first two tests before the Lions won a famous third test in Sydney 26–12 for their first test win over Australia since the second test of the 1978 Kangaroo tour, a streak of 15 wins for the Kangaroos. The performance gap between the two teams became wider during the mid-late 1970s and Great Britain struggled to compete with Australia. The 1982 Kangaroos became the first side to go through a tour of Great Britain and France undefeated (something never achieved on a Lions tour, though they came close in 1954 losing just 2 games). This earned the team the nickname "The Invincibles". The 1986 Kangaroos repeated this feat and would be known as "The Unbeatables". The Ashes had not been contested since 2003 when, in 2009 with the prospect of not contesting them until after the 2013 World Cup, Britain's Rugby Football League

2013 protests in Kosovo
|
The 2013 protests began in Pristina, Kosovo after people started to receive high electricity bills. Sparked by comments on social media, in February more than 1000 people gathered in front of Kosovo's Electricity Corporation building. The protests continued in the next several weeks, eventually turning into a protest against corruption. Some of the main slogans from the protest where "KEK pumping bills", "No country with thieves" and "Stop the theft, develop the state". Government responded with great caution during the protests, promising fulfillment of all requirements set by protesters. Corruption The protest where sparked by high electricity bills but turned soon into a more widespread corruption protest. In May protests spread in other Kosovo cities. Impact Because of the protest, a foreseen increase of 5% for the electricity bill was stopped. The Parliament started an investigation which resulted in a detailed report sent to the Government and Electricity Regulatory Authority of Kosovo. It was also seen as an important protest because it was one of the rare ones in Kosovo started by the population without any interference by political parties or NGO's.

Post-thrombotic syndrome
|
Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS), also called postphlebitic syndrome and venous stress disorder is a medical condition that may occur as a long-term complication of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Signs and symptoms Signs and symptoms of PTS in the leg may include: pain (aching or cramping) heaviness itching or tingling swelling (edema) varicose veins brownish or reddish skin discoloration ulcer These signs and symptoms may vary among patients and over time. With PTS, these symptoms typically are worse after walking or standing for long periods of time and improve with resting or elevating the leg. PTS lowers a person's quality of life after DVT, specifically with regards to physical and psychological symptoms and limitations in daily activities. Cause Despite ongoing research, the cause of PTS is not entirely clear. Inflammation is thought to play a role as well as damage to the venous valves from the thrombus itself. This valvular incompetence combined with persistent venous obstruction from thrombus increases the pressure in veins and capillaries. Venous hypertension induces a rupture of small superficial veins, subcutaneous hemorrhage and an increase of tissue permeability. That is manifested by pain, swelling, discoloration, and even ulceration. Risk factors The following factors increase the risk of developing PTS: age > 65 proximal DVT a second DVT in same leg as first DVT (recurrent ipsilateral DVT) persistent DVT symptoms 1 month after DVT diagnosis obesity poor quality of anticoagulation control (i.e. dose too low) during the first 3 months of treatment Diagnosis When physicians find a DVT in the clinical history of their patients, a postthrombotic syndrome is possible if the patients have suggestive symptoms. Ultrasonography for deep venous thrombosis must be performed to evaluate the situation: the degree of obstruction by clots, the location of these clots, and the detection of deep and/or superficial venous insufficiency. Since signs and symptoms of DVT and PTS may be quite similar, a diagnosis of PTS should be delayed for 3–6 months after DVT diagnosis so an appropriate diagnosis can be made. Prevention Prevention of PTS begins with prevention of initial and recurrent DVT. For people hospitalized at high-risk of DVT, prevention methods may include early ambulation, use of compression stockings or electrostimulation devices, and/or anticoagulant medications. Elastic compression stockings may reduce the occurrence of PTS after clinically confirmed DVT. Increasingly, catheter-directed thrombolysis has been employed. This is a procedure in which interventional radiology will break up a clot using a variety of methods. For people who have already had a single DVT event, the best way to prevent a second DVT is appropriate anticoagulation therapy. A second prevention approach may be weight loss for those who are overweight or obese. Increased weight can put more stress and pressure on leg veins, and can predispose patients to developing PTS. Treatment Treatment options for PTS include proper leg elevation, compression therapy with elastic stockings, or electrostimulation devices, pharmacotherapy (pentoxifylline), herbal remedies (such as horse chestnut, rutosides), and wound care for leg ulcers. The benefits of compression bandages is unclear. They may be useful to treat edemas. Upper extremities Patients with upper-extremity DVT may develop

Louis III of France
|
Louis III (863/65 – 5 August 882) was the king of West Francia from 879 until his death in 882. The eldest son of king Louis II and his first wife Ansgarde of Burgundy, he succeeded his father and ruled jointly with his younger brother Carloman II, who became sole ruler after Louis's death. Louis's short reign was marked by military success. Biography Louis was born while his father was King of Aquitaine and his grandfather Charles the Bald was ruling West Francia. Some doubts were raised about his legitimacy, since his parents had married secretly and Ansgarde was later repudiated at Charles' insistence. When Charles died in 877 and then Louis the Stammerer died two years later, some Frankish nobles advocated electing Louis as the sole king, but another party favoured each brother ruling a separate part of the kingdom. In September 879 Louis was crowned at Ferrières Abbey. In March 880 at Amiens the brothers divided their father's kingdom, Louis receiving the northern part, called Neustria or sometimes simply Francia. Duke Boso, one of Charles the Bald's most trusted lieutenants renounced his allegiance to both brothers and was elected King of Provence. In the summer of 880 Carloman II and Louis III marched against him and captured Mâcon and the northern part of Boso's kingdom. They united their forces with those of their cousin Charles the Fat, then ruling East Francia and Kingdom of Italy, and unsuccessfully besieged Vienne from August to November. In 881 Louis III achieved a momentous victory against Viking raiders, whose invasions had been ongoing since his grandfather's reign, at the Battle of Saucourt-en-Vimeu. Within a year of the battle an anonymous poet celebrated it and the king, for both his prowess and piety in a short poem Ludwigslied composed in the Old High German. Louis III died on 5 August 882, aged around 18, at Saint-Denis in the centre of his realm. Whilst mounting his horse to pursue a girl who was running to seek refuge in her father's house he hit his head on the lintel of a low door and fell, fracturing his skull. Since he had no children, his brother Carloman II became the sole king of West Francia and the victor of Saucourt was buried in the royal mausoleum of the Basilica of St Denis.

American Board of Professional Liability Attorneys
|
The American Board of Professional Liability Attorneys (ABPLA), is an organization for legal professionals in the practice of negligence law. It is the only American Bar Association-accredited organization that certifies attorneys in legal and medical malpractice. Board certification is limited to attorneys practicing legal malpractice and medical malpractice law. The ABPLA was founded in 1972, in the wake of US Supreme Court Justice Warren Berger's observation that the United States suffered from a "low state of American trial advocacy and a consequent diminution in the quality of our entire system of justice". Chief Justice Berger believed that a system of certification of trial advocates in specialties was "imperative and long overdue". The ABPLA met this challenge and serves the country through its certification of legal specialties in two of the most complex areas of the law profession: medical and legal malpractice. Since the ABPLA was first organized in 1972, professional negligence law has become increasingly complex. In such an environment, the need is ever greater to provide consumers with an objective standard by which to assess professional negligence attorneys. Board certification provides such a benchmark. It is the ABPLA's continuing mission to certify attorneys according to the highest standards of experience, ethics, education, examination and excellence. Through this rigorous process, ABPLA offers consumers a clear standard of excellence for selecting medical and legal malpractice attorneys in whom they can have confidence.

King Henry Fifth's Conquest of France
|
King Henry Fifth's Conquest of France (Child 164; Roud 251) is a British ballad which recounts a highly fictionalized version of the Battle of Agincourt and the events surrounding it. Synopsis In the ballad, King Henry sends his page to France to collect a tribute in gold that has not been paid for some while. Instead, the king of France sends back three tennis balls, so that the young king can "learn to play." (The gift of tennis balls also appears in Shakespeare's Henry V and in film adaptations of it, including The King; the play and other versions of the story refer to a tun of tennis balls.) Henry raises an army and invades France, and the king of France agrees to pay the tribute and give Henry "the finest flower that is in all France" for his wife. Historical inaccuracies Francis James Child and John Jacob Niles point out some of the ballad's historical inaccuracies: France did not pay tribute to England, the English did not march to Paris after the battle, and the estimate of 10,000 Frenchmen killed is high. Henry's conscription, which in the ballad called on Cheshire, Lancashire and Derby and spared married men and widow's sons, did not do so in real life. The tennis balls are also disputed; some chroniclers mention them, but other historians conclude that they are probably a legend, possibly borrowed from a story of Darius and Alexander. Recording The song appears on Richard Thompson's 1000 Years of Popular Music. References Category:Child Ballads Category:Cultural depictions of Henry V of England

Chemical Workers' Union (Czechoslovakia)
|
The Chemical Workers' Union was a trade union in the Czechoslovakia. The union was led by Josef Hais. The union published Dělnik ('Worker'). As of 1921, the Chemical Workers' Union had a membership of 76,978. The Chemical Workers' Union was affiliated with the Odborové sdružení československé (OSČ). However, within OSČ the Chemical Workers' Union represented a leftist position. Hais upled the line of 'non-compromising socialism'. Overall, the chemical industry workers were amongst the lowest paid workers in Czechoslovakia at the time, a fact that contributed to the radicalization of their union. The OSČ rightwing branded Hais as a 'communist', and in February 1921 a rightist splinter union was formed under the leadership of Karel Piták. In June 1922, communist trade unionists were expelled from the Metalworkers' Union (a union which was firmly controlled by Social Democrats). They then formed the 'Opposition Committee of Metalworkers'. The Opposition Committee was provisionally accepted into the Chemical Workers' Union. On 25 June 1922, a conference of revolutionary trade unionists was held in Brno. The conference staked out plans for a new trade union centre. At the conference an 'Agitation Committee for the Red International of Labour Unions' was formed, with Josef Hais as its secretary. In July 1922 the board of the Chemical Workers' Union decided that the union would join the new trade union centre once it was formed. On 13 July 1922, the Chemical Workers' Union was expelled from OSČ. When the new, pro-communist trade union centre Mezinárodní všeodborový svaz (MVS) was formed in October 1922, the Chemical Workers' Union merged into it as its Chemical workers' section. At the time of the merger, 45,068 workers of the Chemical Workers' Union joined MVS.

Kris (Romani court)
|
Kris () or Kris-Romani is a traditional court for conflict resolution in the culture of Vlax branch of the Romani people. The term derives from the Greek language, "κρίση" (judgment). It is a key institution for enforcing the Romani Code () within Romanipen. It developed in the area of present-day Romania, during the times of the slavery, as a judicial institution of the local Romanies, in order to enforce the community cohesion and its internal balance. After the abolition, from the half of the 19th century onwards, many Vlax Romanies emigrated in the rest of the world, bringing with them the kris as part of their cultural luggage. More or less formal proceedings exist also among other Romani branches. Some non-Vlax Romanies adopted this institution, like the Drzara from Sweden (originally from Serbia), in contact with the local Kalderash. Proceedings The kris covers issues involving only Romani parties, since those involving also non-Romani parties are dealt by non-Romani institutions. In the Romani dispute resolution, it is used as the last resort. Many unsettled issues (if their gravity would not require a kris obviously from the start) are dealt informally through involvement of other members from the local communities. This may take the shape of a divano, an informal gathering of clan leaders of the conflicting parties and other local influential and respected Romanies (the presence of the parties themselves is optional). If they consider a certain settlement possible, this amounts only to a recommendation. If the parties still do not agree and the issue remains unsettled, the kris is convened as the formal instrument for the dispute resolutions. Although customs vary according to local tradition, the basic form of the kris involves the conflicting parties making their appeals to the krisnitorya (singular: krisnitori, also in other variants, krisnatory, krisari, krisatore), respected Romanies appointed by communal acclamation to preside over the kris. The number of krisnitorya is odd, usually between five and eleven. Other members of the group not directly involved in the conflict may participate by presenting their own statements on the nature of the conflict, or on the character of the involved parties. Formerly, only married males were allowed to argue a case or present evidence at a kris, with females' and unmarried males' interests being represented by their married male relatives. However, in the modern era it is more common for married women to take an active part in a kris as one of the conflicting parties, or as a witness. In some areas, for example in the United States, women have begun to serve as krisnitori. The debates are kept only in Romani language, with a legal register, otherwise unused in the daily speech. In order to enforce the veracity of the communication, various oaths are taken in the name of the ancestors () or other culturally powerful images. The judgements of the kris are designed to maintain the integrity of the Romani community and uphold the Romanipen. Its proceedings are oriented to reinforce the kintala (balance), an important notion of the Romanipen. Considering that there is no absolute

Cartographer (album)
|
Cartographer, the second album from E.S. Posthumus, was supposed to release sometime in 2006 but was later released in early 2007. The delay from the original release date can only so far be attributed to the Vonlichten brothers' ill-concern with deadlines, although it is rumored the delay in release was due to the addition of Sans to the group of musicians, an addition much heralded by Helmut Vonlichten Upon the album's release on the CDBaby website, it came accompanied with the following album description: "In 1929, the ancient map "Piri Reis" was discovered in Istanbul. The map is extraordinary because it depicts bays and islands on the Antarctic coast which have been concealed under ice for at least 6,000 years. What civilization was capable of such exploration that long ago? On "Cartographer", we imagine that these explorers were from the tiny island of Numa in the Southern Indian Ocean. As advanced seafarers, they navigated every corner of the Earth. We have created a language unique to them and tell stories through song that describe their creation, discoveries and ultimate demise. This is a 2 CD collection with Vocal and Remix versions of every song. The Remix CD also contains 2 bonus tracks." The vocal tracks are sung by Luna Sans, while the remix versions replace her vocals with instrumental solos and choir melodies, much in the style of Posthumus's first album, "Unearthed". As of 17 January 2008, a new section was added to the official website of E.S. Posthumus with the focus being on the new album.

Caja de Ingenieros
|
Caja de Ingenieros (Catalan: Caixa d'Enginyers) is a cooperative society for the savings and credit that has more than 145,000 members and developed a model of personal, commercial, institutional and business banking in the Spanish region focusing on the service for professionals, namely engineers and other professions. Overview Founded in 1967, the distinctive feature of the Caja de Ingenieros cooperative model is that the partner is both client and owner of the entity. Clients have to join one of two cooperatives: Usuarios de Caja de Ingenieros or Caja de Ingenieros. Caja de Ingenieros acts as the parent company of the Caja de Ingenieros Group, which includes: Caja de Ingenieros Gestión (fund management company) Caixa de Ingenieros Vida y Pensiones (insurance, reinsurance and pension fund management company) Caja de Ingenieros Banca-Seguros (insurance operator) Caja de Ingenieros Foundation (CSR tool) Ingenium Shopping (consumer cooperative) Norbolsa (a company specializing in stock exchange brokerage and value-added financial services). In February 2011 Caja de Ingenieros founded the Caja de Ingenieros Foundation with the purpose of promoting its corporate social responsibility activities. It is a private and non-profit institution that emerged from the transformation of the former Socio-Cultural and Technological Association of Engineers. The Foundation intends to optimize the efficiency of the resources for the promotion of engineering and activities of cultural, social, environmental, beneficial-assistance, professional and technological interest. The social help includes donation of 2 million euros for projects, 105 scholarships and prizes, educational courses for unemployed people, training for members, etc. Politics During the 2017–18 Spanish constitutional crisis, Caja de Ingenieros and Caixa Guissona were the only banks that did not relocate their nominal headquarters out of Catalonia. While its president Josep Oriol Sala claims to not get into politics, critics have pointed that Joan Vallvé i Ribera is both a member of the Foundation board and second vice-president of the Catalan association Òmnium Cultural, which supported several pro-independence demonstrations.

Hurricane Ginger
|
Hurricane Ginger was the second longest-lasting Atlantic hurricane on record. The eighth tropical cyclone and fifth hurricane of the 1971 Atlantic hurricane season, Ginger spent 27.25 days as a tropical cyclone, lasting from September 6 to October 3. Twenty of those days (September 11 – September 30), Ginger was classified as a hurricane. The storm formed northeast of the Bahamas, and for the first nine days of its duration tracked generally eastward or northeastward while gradually strengthening to peak winds of 110 mph (175 km/h). On September 14, Ginger slowed and turned to a general westward track, passing near Bermuda on September 23. There, the hurricane produced gusty winds and high waves, but no damage. While over the western Atlantic Ocean, Ginger became the last target of Project Stormfury, which sought to weaken hurricanes by depositing silver iodide into tropical cyclone rainbands. Ginger ultimately struck North Carolina on September 30 as a minimal hurricane, lashing the coastline with gusty winds that caused power outages across the region. Heavy rainfall flooded towns and left severe crop damage, with 3 million bushels of corn and 1 million bushels of soybean lost. Damage in the state was estimated at $10 million (1971 US dollars, $ USD). Further north, moderate precipitation and winds spread through the Mid-Atlantic states, although no significant damage was reported outside North Carolina. Ginger has the highest accumulated cyclone energy for a hurricane below major hurricane strength in the Atlantic basin, at 44.2. Meteorological history Hurricane Ginger originated in a cold-core upper-level low that persisted for several days in early September in the Western Atlantic Ocean. The upper-level low was located within a large, persistent area of convection from the Gulf of Mexico through the central Atlantic, which resembled the Intertropical Convergence Zone but at a higher latitude. The convective feature was influenced by an anticyclone located over northern South America, which was opposite of the typical flow for September. The anticyclone also led to the formation of Hurricane Fern, Tropical Storm Heidi, and two tropical depressions. By September 5, the low had descended to the surface as its thermal structure warmed, and the next day it developed into a tropical depression about 235 mi (375 km) northeast of the Bahamas. After forming, the depression moved slowly southeastward for about 24 hours before turning to the northeast, slowly organizing in the process. On September 10, the depression turned eastward, and later that day intensified into Tropical Storm Ginger, the seventh named storm of the year in the Atlantic, about 325 mi (525 km) south of Bermuda. The storm quickly intensified, and within 24 hours reached winds of 75 mph (120 km/h), making it a hurricane. It turned to the northeast, passing well to the east of Bermuda. Late on September 13, Ginger attained its minimum barometric pressure of 959 mbar (28.32 inHg), and early the next day reached peak maximum sustained winds of 110 mph (175 km/h). After reaching a position about halfway between Bermuda and the Azores, the hurricane's eastward movement halted due to a building ridge to its north and

He made his debut for the first team in the 2004–05 season, making just one substitute appearance, on 28 May 2005 in a 3–2 defeat to Istres as Caen were relegated from Ligue 1 to Ligue 2. In the 2005–06 season Caen finished fourth in Ligue 2, missing out on promotion to Ligue 1 on goal difference. Grandin made a total of nineteen league appearances, scoring three goals. The following season he was part of the Caen squad that finished as runners-up and won promotion to Ligue 1. He made 23 appearances, scoring twice. In the 2007–08 season he made twelve appearances, scoring one goal. He made a total of 55 league appearances for Caen, scoring six goals.

That season he made eight league appearances, most of them as a substitute. In his first match against AS Monaco in the last 16 of the Coupe de France, he made an assist for the second goal scored by Mathieu Valbuena. On 17 May, the last day of the season against Strasbourg, he came on as a substitute after an injury to striker Mamadou Niang, and sent his pass set up to Nasri to score as Marseille won 4–3 and so qualified for the preliminary round of the Champions League. In his second season, Grandin was in the starting line-up in the first game of the season at Stade Rennais, scoring Marseilles 4th goal in stoppage time, in a 4–4 draw. On 13 August he made his European debut in the third qualifying round of the Champions League, in a single-goal victory at Norwegian side Brann. In the 2008–09 season he made a further eight appearances, scoring twice. Grandin then fell out of favour into the plans of Eric Gerets and lack of playing time in Marseille.

He made a total of eight appearances before returning to Marseille at the end of the season. On 18 August 2009, it was reported by L'Équipe that Grandin would go on trial in England with Premier League club Stoke City five days later and that Stoke had first option on the player for around €1 million. After returning to France, Marseille released Grandin from his contract on 2 September. CSKA Sofia On 5 January 2010,

Earl of Carysfort
|
Earl of Carysfort was a title in the Peerage of Ireland. It was created in 1789 for John Proby, 2nd Baron Carysfort. The Proby family descended from Sir Peter Proby, Lord Mayor of London in 1622. His great-great-grandson John Proby represented Huntingdonshire and Stamford in the House of Commons. His son and namesake John Proby was a Whig politician and notably served as a (civilian) Lord of the Admiralty. In 1752 he was raised to the Peerage of Ireland as Baron Carysfort, of Carysfort in the County of Wicklow. He was succeeded by his son, the second Baron. He was also a politician and was created Earl of Carysfort in the Peerage of Ireland in 1789. In 1801 he was further honoured when he was made Baron Carysfort, of the Hundred of Norman Cross in the County of Huntingdon, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, which gave him a seat in the British House of Lords. His eldest son and heir apparent, William Proby, Lord Proby, predeceased him. Lord Carysfort was therefore succeeded by his second son, the second Earl. He was a general in the Army. He died unmarried and was succeeded in 1855 by his younger brother Granville Leveson Proby, the third Earl. He was a vice-admiral in the Royal Navy and finally became an admiral on 9 July 1857. On his death on 3 November 1868, the titles passed to his second but eldest surviving son, the fourth Earl. He was a Liberal politician and had served as Comptroller of the Household from 1859 to 1866. He died childless and was succeeded by his younger brother, the fifth Earl. He served as Lord-Lieutenant of County Wicklow from 1890 to 1909. He was also childless and on his death in 1909 all the titles became extinct. Lady Elizabeth Emma Proby, daughter of the third Earl, married Lord Claud Hamilton, grandson of John Hamilton, 1st Marquess of Abercorn. Their son Colonel Douglas Hamilton inherited parts of the Proby estates, including Elton Hall in Huntingdonshire, and assumed by Royal licence the surname of Proby in lieu of Hamilton in 1904. His son Richard George Proby was created a Baronet, of Elton Hall in the County of Huntingdon, in 1952 (see Proby Baronets). Hugh Proby, third son of the third Earl, was the founder of Kanyaka Station in the Flinders Ranges of South Australia. The heir apparent to the earldom used the invented courtesy title of Lord Proby.

Better known in the city as “Willy Zegarra” or “Don Willy”. When he was 14 years old he arrived to Iquique, where he began his foray into the artistic life. "I started very young, stimulated by my brothers who engaged me in this and the visit to the city from different troupes that performed works," said “Don Willy” to the newspaper La Estrella de Iquique. While he was acting in a theater, he met Luis Emilio Recabarren. His passion Thus supported by Luis Emilio Recabarren and Elias Laferte, both founders of the Socialist Workers Party, in the tours along pampas he began with works of high social content. Later he tried adding in Santiago Humberstone success of various companies, but must return to the city due to lack of money. When he left the theater, he continued his work on the stages presented by Teatro Expression of Universidad Arturo Prat. Shortly he disappeared completely from the public theater scene and, in one of his last interviews and in relation to the balance that makes his life said: "I am grateful to the theater and all that he has provided. I love the arts like my wife and my three children; they have encouraged me to remain active. I am proud of what I was and eager to do new things. Last days By 2005 his health got worse. On January 8, 2005 his heart stopped beating. Many anecdotes were left with his memory and so many stories of the old Iquique. So many stories he had in his intimate theater, "Veteran 79" (named after the Pacific Navy War in 1879). His funeral was in an early Sunday. At 10 am his coffin was taken to the Municipal theater of Iquique, where he conducted “Teatro UPA”. The actors in the event installed in the foyer of the hall one chair, a straw hat (or coliza) humita enormous blue tie and a cane. They were his most characteristic elements. The candles were not extinguished until the event ended. "The day I die, People will have to watch at a local theater, and I will have to make an artistic show, instead of praying". Unfortunately, few people were fired that day. Legacy Though he loved Iquique, when he was alive there weren’t any monument or street to this centenary man. But in 2009 the city hall of Iquique opened a park called: “Don Willy Zegarra”. This park is next to the Municipal Theatre of Iquique. Theatre Company: “Teatro Expresión” every single January, 8th gave a free show in memoriam of Don Willy.

South Cambie
|
South Cambie is a neighbourhood in the city of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, that is generally considered one of the smallest neighbourhoods in the city, both in size and in population. It is wedged between one of the city's largest parks and the upscale neighbourhood of Shaughnessy, and is known for a large cluster of medical facilities. Geography Wedged between Queen Elizabeth Park on the slopes of Vancouver's Little Mountain to the east and the high-priced homes of Shaughnessy on the west, South Cambie is a narrow strip of land encompassing 217 hectares. It is located between the busy north-south corridors of Oak Street and Cambie Street, and stretches from West 16th Avenue in the north to West 41st in the south. The population of South Cambie was 6,995, according to the 2001 Census; 49.4 percent of respondents listed English as their mother tongue, with Chinese the next largest group at 26.4 percent. History A part of a land grant given to the Canadian Pacific Railway in the 1800s, Cambie Street was named after CPR engineer Henry Cambie, who was in charge of the railway's western division. The first colonial settlers arrived in 1874 when William Mackie, a former gold miner, claimed 65 hectares of land surrounding a former elk pasture that is now Douglas Park, on West 22nd Avenue. He was followed by Jeremiah Rogers, who became one of the first users of mechanized logging equipment in British Columbia, building a road to the top of Little Mountain. By 1910, that portion of the land had become a Chinese vegetable garden, and homes began to appear around it. Much of the land remained undeveloped until the 1940s. Features A number of heritage structures can be found in the South Cambie area, including the 1912 Tudor-style building that houses a Royal Canadian Mounted Police training facility on Heather Street. A number of other heritage homes from the 1910s and 1920s can be found in the northern portion of the neighbourhood. The South Cambie area includes some of the province's top medical facilities, including BC Children's Hospital and BC Women's Hospital and Health Centre. It was also the site of historic Shaughnessy Hospital, used extensively during World Wars I and II. The South Cambie area is also home to several educational institutions including Eric Hamber Secondary School, Emily Carr Elementary School, Edith Cavell Elementary School, & French language schools École Rose-des-Vents and École secondaire Jules-Verne, both operated by Conseil scolaire francophone de la Colombie-Britannique. Canada Line The Canada Line rapid transit system traverses the entire length of Cambie Street through the South Cambie neighbourhood. The project was completed in August 2009. Possible future platform & station expansions were noted during initial construction, but no plans have yet been made.

Education and awards A graduate of the University of Georgia's PhD program in English, Morphew is the recipient of several national and international poetry prizes, including: The Academy of American Poets College Prize, The Randall Jarrell International Poetry Prize, The Cecil J. Hackney Literary Award in Poetry, The W.B. Yeats' Society Poetry Prize, The Sacramento Poetry Center Press Book Award, and several Pushcart Prize nominations.

In 2006, her full-length collection of poems, Fathom, was published by Turning Point Press. The poet, Gray Jacobik, writes of Morphew's poems: "... a passion for the medium [language] and a deep knowledge of its possibilities, has joined with the practical skill required to make merry and make sorrowful, take us to bed and to bounty, to the odd and the familiar, to worlds-upon-worlds, and to do so beautifully, lavishly, intricately, and interestingly." This quote points up the magical realist quality of many of Morphew's poems. Morphew said of her poem "The Barker's Song" in an explanation of the work for Iron Horse Literary Review that she has been striving to write in a magical realist idiom. In August, 2010, judge Indigo Moor chose Morphew's collection Bluster as the winner of the Sacramento Poetry Center Press Book Award. Moor said: Morphew's poems can be found in the pages of the most respected U.S. literary journals. Her work has been included in The Georgia Review, Shenandoah, Parnassus: Poetry in Review, and Prairie Schooner. Morphew formerly taught English and creative writing at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas.

Peiser established the Cambridge Conference Network in 1997. Peiser acknowledges that he is "not a climate scientist" and has "never claimed to be one." His interest as a social anthropologist, is in "how climate change is portrayed as a potential disaster and how we respond to that." As an outspoken climate change sceptic, Peiser became director of the newly established UK lobbying group Global Warming Policy Foundation in 2009. He serves as co-editor of the journal, Energy & Environment and is a regular contributor to Canada's National Post. Background Born of German parents in Haifa, Israel, in 1957, Peiser's family soon returned to Germany. He grew up in Frankfurt and "spent the first 35 years of his life" in Germany. Peiser studied political science, English, and sports science at Frankfurt University, receiving a doctorate in cultural studies (Kulturwissenschaften) from that institution in 1993, for an examination of the history, archaeology and natural history of Greek problems at the time of the ancient Olympic Games. Drawn by "concerns about nuclear energy and its waste", he reportedly was involved with the German Green Party while a student. Upon completing his doctoral degree, Peiser moved to Liverpool, England, to take up a position as lecturer at Liverpool John Moores University. Career and research interests Peiser was previously employed as an historian of ancient sport at the University of Frankfurt. He listed his research interests at LJMU as the effects of environmental change and catastrophic events on contemporary thought and societal evolution; climate change and science communication; international climate policy; the risks posed by near-Earth objects and satellites and the environmental and socio-economic impacts of physical activity. Cambridge Conference Network In 1997 Peiser established the Cambridge Conference Network, an email-based discussion group for a conference of the Society for Interdisciplinary Studies about Bronze Age catastrophes. Over time the network began to focus on discussion on climate change and was renamed CCNet (active from 1997 to 2006), to provide a platform for "the minority of people who are climate (change) sceptics or have doubts about the prevailing views." Peiser acknowledges that he is "not a climate scientist" and has "never claimed to be one." His interest as a social anthropologist, is in "how climate change is portrayed as a potential disaster and how we respond to that." Peiser argued that he is against alarmist, hysterical doomsday scenarios and catastrophic apocalyptic cult thinking but is not "a climate-change sceptic (2008)." "Most scientists do seem to accept that there is an effect of CO2 on climate; the big question is how large and dangerous it will be in future. Personally, I'm also sceptical about the doomsday scenarios." Reclassification of Pluto's status American astrophysicist and science communicator, Neil deGrasse Tyson described (2008) the Cambridge Conference Network (CCNet) as a "widely

Levana
|
Levana (from Latin levare, "to lift") is an ancient Roman goddess involved in rituals pertaining to childbirth. Augustine says that dea Levana is invoked when the child is lifted de terra, from the earth or ground. Her function may be paralleled by the Greek Artemis Orthia, if interpreted as the Artemis who lifts or raises children. It is sometimes supposed that Levana was invoked in a ceremony by which the father lifted the child to acknowledge it as his own, but the existence of such a ceremony is based on tenuous evidence and contradicted by Roman law pertaining to legitimacy of birth. More likely, Levana was the goddess who oversaw the lifting of the child by the midwife immediately after birth. Kneeling or squatting was a more common position for childbirth in antiquity, and the newborn probably came to rest on the ground before the umbilical cord was cut. Modern use Thomas De Quincey's prose poem Levana and Our Ladies of Sorrow begins with a discussion of the role of Levana in Roman religion. Levana is the name of an infant and child safety product manufacturer. The brand was established in 2007 and concentrates on electrical means of protection. In the Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer, Levana is the name of the current queen of Luna (a human colony on the moon). References External links Levana and Our Ladies of Sorrow by Thomas De Quincey.

Myers deoxygenation
|
In organic chemistry, the Myers deoxygenation reaction is an organic redox reaction that reduces an alcohol into an alkyl position by way of an arenesulfonylhydrazine as a key intermediate. This name reaction is one of two discovered by Andrew Myers that are named after him; both this reaction and the Myers allene synthesis reaction involve the same type of intermediate. R–CH2OH + H2NNHAr → R–CH2N(Ar)NH2 → R–CH2N=NH → R–CH3 + N2 The reaction is a three-step one-pot process in which the alcohol first undergoes a Mitsunobu reaction with ortho-nitrobenzenesulfonylhydrazine in the presence of triphenylphosphine and diethyl azodicarboxylate. Unlike hydrazone-synthesis reactions, this reaction occurs on the same nitrogen of the hydrazine that has the arenesulfonyl substituent. Upon warming, this product undergoes an elimination of arylsulfinic acid to give an unstable diazene as a reactive intermediate. A radical process then promptly occurs with loss of dinitrogen to give the final alkyl product. The alkyl-radical intermediate can instead undergo an intramolecular reaction with various other suitably-positioned functional groups within the molecule, such as alkenes or cyclopropanes, leading to alternate products. If the diazene intermediate is able to undergo a sigmatropic rearrangement, this process occurs in preference to the simple radical reduction to give a hydrocarbon with a transposed π bond. For example, in the Myers allene synthesis, one of the two π bonds of the alkyne of a propargyl alcohol shifts, forming an allene. Likewise, the benzylic alcohol 1-naphthylmethanol rearranges to give a methylene-cyclohexyl product with loss of aromaticity. References Category:Organic reduction reactions Category:Name reactions

Danio kyathit
|
Danio kyathit is a small, schooling species of fish in the family Cyprinidae, native to Myanmar. Described in 1998, it is closely related to the better-known zebrafish or zebra danio, D. rerio. Description A smallish cyprinoid with a maximum length of , the females are thicker and less streamlined in the body than males. The two recognised colour morphs are a striped form known as the orange-finned danio, and a spotted form known by the common name ocelot danio, which may be confused with the leopard danio. Individual fish may show variations in markings intermediate to the spotted and striped forms.
