1957 Wednesbury by-election
|
The 1957 Wednesbury by-election was held on 28 February 1957 after the incumbent Labour MP, Stanley Evans, resigned from the House of Commons and the Labour Party after he had refused to vote against the Conservative government on the Suez Crisis. The Labour candidate, John Stonehouse, retained the seat with an increased majority.
Background
In November 1956 there was a vote of confidence in the Conservative government caused by the Suez Crisis. Evans abstained on the vote, being the only Labour MP not to follow the party whip. Although he was not disciplined by the Parliamentary Labour Party, the Wednesbury Divisional Labour Party were highly critical of him. On 17 November the Divisional Party unanimously passed a resolution calling on him to resign, and on 20 November Evans announced his resignation from both the House of Commons and the Labour Party. He formally resigned his seat by taking the office of Crown Steward and Bailiff of the three Chiltern Hundreds of Stoke, Desborough and Burnham on 26 November.
Candidates
The resulting by-election was held on 28 February 1957. The Labour Party chose John Stonehouse, a lecturer who had previously unsuccessfully contested two general elections at Twickenham and Burton-upon-Trent. The Conservatives chose Peter Tapsell, a former member of the Conservative Research Department. An independent candidate, Wolverhampton solicitor Michael Wade, announced his candidacy hours before the close of nominations on 18 February.
Result
Stonehouse held the seat for Labour with an increased majority.

Frank Finn (footballer)
|
Frank Finn (13 November 1911 – 9 May 2010) was a former Australian rules footballer who played with Carlton and Footscray in the Victorian Football League (VFL).
In two years with Footscray in 1927 and 1938, Finn played three senior matches and kicked two goals. But the highlight of his time at the Western Oval came in the 1936 Reserves Grand Final, when Frank played on a wing and the Bulldogs beat the heavily-favoured Melbourne.
In 1938 he was on the move again, and crossed to Camberwell in the VFA. He became a stalwart in the centre for the Tricolours, and went on to play more than 100 games – although his football career was interrupted in 1942 when he enlisted for active service with the Australian Army in World War II.
Finn later umpired in the VFA and was appointed coach of Noble Park Football Club in 1949.

Battle of Zvolen (1703)
|
The Battle of Zvolen ( ) was a battle between the Kuruc's and the army of Habsburg monarchy on 15 November 1703 at Zvolen in Upper Hungary (modern day Slovakia). General Miklós Bercsényi was routed by the Austrian army under Simon Forgách. Forgách in 1704 went over to the Kuruc side.
Prelude
On 15 June Francis II Rákóczi sparked off the war of independence against Emperor Leopold I. First Rákóczi found little support in Hungary and also the nobility and peasants fought against the Kurucs. Miklós Bercsényi soon brought mercenaries from Poland, Moldavia and the Ruthenian (Western Ukrainian) regions. The Kuruc forces and his mercenaries (with the Slovak and Rusyn minorities) pushed forward into the Austrian border. On 17 September Levice was captured by the Kurucs but the Austrian army recaptured it on 31 October.
Opposing forces
brigadier joined Bercsényi after the capture of Levice. The Kuruc and Austrian army was mostly cavalry. The Kuruc forces have irregular Hungarian and Slovak horsemen, some regular horsemen, well-trained Polish and Ruthenian cavalry, some thousand veteran haiduks from Great Turkish War, French officiers and soldiers, and Moravian artillerymen with obsolete guns. Bercsényi's lieutenants was Sándor Károlyi and Ocskay.
In the Austrian army two regiment infantry with muskets, some platoons of Serbian fusiliers from Vojvodina, Hungarian Royalists and Danish dragoons. His commanders was also Hungarians: Forgách, Bottyán the Blind and Antal Esterházy (later everyone Kuruc commanders).
In both camps were disagreements between the commanders. Another Austrian army was in Bystrica under Leopold Schlick, just celebrated his name day, assist those not bothered about Forgáchs.
The battle
The Kuruc and Austrian army glared at each other for a long time. The thirst tormented the troops, there was little water. Before the battle Bottyán and Ocskay dueled, and both injured. In the battle the Kuruc forces repulsed the Austrians and their allies.
After the battle Austrians locked themselves in Zvolen. Bercsényi tried to starve them. During the night, most of the army tried to break out of the castle. But Ocskay raided the Austrians and destroyed them; very small soldiers reached the camp of Schlick in Bystrica.
Aftermath
The wounded Bottyán was the Zvolen castle for three weeks. On 7 December they surrendered in exchange for a free getaway. The Kurucs occupied the country between Levice and Zvolen, and in several battles defeated the Austrian, Danish and Serbian forces.

The Outsiders (Eric Church song)
|
"The Outsiders" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music singer Eric Church. It was released in October 2013 as the first single and title track from his 2014 album of the same name. Church wrote this song with Casey Beathard.
History
Church told Taste of Country that “It’s a bit of a statement. I wanted to send a message with this album that it’s gonna be different, it’s gonna be another level". He also described it as a mix of Waylon Jennings and Metallica.
Church performed the song at the 2013 telecast of the Country Music Association awards.
Critical reception
Giving it 3.5 stars out of 5, Will Hermes of Rolling Stone wrote that "doubles down on his hard-rock/hip-hop fixations with a song that opens on an unfuckwithable snarl-rap, ramps into a high-lonesome stadium chorus over a Southern-rock stomp, then feigns a Black Keys garage skronk before barreling into a prog-metal capper." It received 4.5 stars from Matt Bjorke of Roughstock, who wrote that it was "musically interesting" and that it should "give Eric Church enough of a buzzworthy launching point for his upcoming 2014 album".
Commercial performance
On its first week, the song debuted (and peaked) on the Country Airplay chart at No. 25, which is Eric Church highest debut on the chart. The song entered the Hot Country Songs chart at No. 6, the highest leap in that chart since October 2012 when the chart's ranking methodology was modified to include sales and streaming. The song sold 81,000 copies on its debut, the best-selling country song of the week.
As of February 2014, the single has sold 466,000 downloads in the United States. It was certified Gold by the RIAA on December 17, 2014 for 500,000 units in sales.

The Coalition Government 'Coupon' at the last General Election in 1918 was awarded to the sitting Unionist rather than the Liberal challenger. Despite this, the Liberal vote held up very well;
Candidates
The Unionists selected 53-year-old tobacco manufacturer Sir Arthur Churchman as their candidate to defend the seat.
The Liberal candidate from the last election, Rowley Elliston did not stand this time, despite his good showing in 1918. In fact, no Liberal candidate came forward.
The Labour Party, who had not contested the seat before, selected 46-year-old H.D. Harben, a former Liberal candidate, as their candidate to challenge for the seat. He had contested the 1906 general election at Worcester coming second. He then contested the dual member seat of Portsmouth at the December 1910 general election, coming fourth.
Campaign
Polling Day was set for 28 July 1920. Nominations closed to confirm that the election would be a two-way contest. Churchman received the official endorsement of the Coalition Government.

Aftermath
The result at the following General Election in 1922 was;

1866 East Suffolk by-election
|
The 1866 East Suffolk by-election was a double by-election held in the United Kingdom on 25 July 1866. The election was a Conservative seat with two Conservative MPs.
The incumbent Conservative MP John Henniker-Major became Baron Hartismere a new creation which, as it sat in the House of Lords, meant that he could no longer sit in the House of Commons. Although he had for some time had the inherited title of Baron Henniker, this was an Irish Peerage and so meant that he could sit in the House of Commons. The other incumbent Conservative MP, Fitzroy Kelly, had become Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, a senior judge and so had to resign his seat.
There were only two candidates, both Conservatives, and so they were elected unopposed. The candidates were John Henniker-Major's son John Henniker-Major and Edward Kerrison, who had resigned his seat in the nearby seat of Eye, thereby causing the 1866 Eye by-election which was also uncontested. Edward Kerrison was too ill to make an acceptance speech.

Numerical methods in fluid mechanics

Fluid motion is governed by the Navier–Stokes equations, a set of coupled and nonlinear
partial differential equations derived from the basic laws of conservation of mass, momentum
and energy. The unknowns are usually the flow velocity, the pressure and density and temperature. The analytical solution of this equation is impossible hence scientists resort to laboratory experiments in such situations. The answers delivered are, however, usually qualitatively different since dynamical and geometric similitude are difficult to enforce simultaneously between the lab experiment and the prototype. Furthermore, the design and construction of these experiments can be difficult (and costly), particularly for stratified rotating flows. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is an additional tool in the arsenal of scientists. In its early days CFD was often controversial, as it involved additional approximation to the governing equations and raised additional (legitimate) issues. Nowadays CFD is an established discipline alongside theoretical and experimental methods. This position is in large part due to the exponential growth of computer power which has allowed us to tackle ever larger and more complex problems.
Discretization
The central process in CFD is the process of discretization, i.e. the process of taking differential equations with an infinite number of degrees of freedom, and reducing it to a system of finite degrees of freedom. Hence, instead of determining the solution everywhere and for all times, we will be satisfied with its calculation at a finite number of locations and at specified time intervals. The partial differential equations are then reduced to a system of algebraic equations that can be solved on a computer. Errors creep in during the discretization process. The nature and characteristics of the errors must be controlled in order to ensure that:
we are solving the correct equations (consistency property)
that the error can be decreased as we increase the number of degrees of freedom (stability and convergence).
Once these two criteria are established, the power of computing machines can be leveraged to solve the problem in a numerically reliable fashion. Various discretization schemes have been developed to cope with a variety of issues. The most notable for our purposes are: finite difference methods, finite volume methods, finite element methods, and spectral methods.
Finite difference method
Finite difference replace the infinitesimal limiting process of derivative calculation:
with a finite limiting process,i.e.
The term gives an indication of the magnitude of the error as a function of the mesh spacing. In this instance, the error is halved if the grid spacing, _x is halved, and we say that this is a first order method. Most FDM used in practice are at least second order accurate except in very special circumstances. Finite Difference method is still the most popular numerical method for solution of PDEs because of their simplicity, efficiency and low computational cost. Their major drawback is in their geometric inflexibility which complicates their applications to general complex domains. These can be alleviated by the use of either mapping techniques and/or masking to fit the computational mesh to the computational domain.
Finite element method
The finite element method was designed to deal with problem with complicated computational regions. The PDE is first recast into a variational form which essentially forces the mean error to be small everywhere. The discretization step proceeds by dividing the computational domain into elements of triangular or rectangular shape. The solution within each element is interpolated with a polynomial of usually low order. Again, the unknowns are the solution at the collocation points. The CFD community adopted the FEM in the 1980s when reliable methods for dealing with advection dominated problems were devised.
Spectral method
Both finite element and finite difference methods are low order methods, usually of 2nd − 4th order, and have local approximation property. By local we mean that a particular collocation point is affected by a limited number of points around it. In contrast, spectral method have global approximation property. The interpolation functions, either polynomials or trigonomic functions are global in nature. Their main benefits is in the rate of convergence which depends on the smoothness of the solution (i.e. how many continuous derivatives does it admit). For infinitely smooth solution, the error decreases exponentially, i.e. faster than algebraic. Spectral methods are mostly used in the computations of homogeneous turbulence, and require relatively simple geometries. Atmospheric model have also adopted spectral methods because of their convergence properties and the regular spherical shape of their computational domain.
Finite volume method
Finite volume methods are primarily used in aerodynamics applications where strong shocks and discontinuities in the solution occur. Finite volume method solves an integral form of the governing equations so that local continuity property do not have to hold.
Computational cost
The CPU time to solve the system of equations differs substantially from method to method. Finite differences are usually the cheapest on a per grid point basis followed by the finite element method and spectral method. However, a per grid point basis comparison is a little like comparing apple and oranges. Spectral methods deliver more accuracy on a per grid point basis than either FEM or FDM. The comparison is more meaningful if the question is recast as ”what is the computational cost to achieve a given error tolerance?”. The problem becomes one of defining the error measure which is a complicated task in general situations.
Forward Euler approximation
Equation is an explicit approximation to the original differential equation since no information about the unknown function at the future time (n + 1)t has been used on the right hand side of the equation. In order to derive the error committed in the approximation we rely again on Taylor series.
Backward difference
This is an example of an implicit method since the unknown u(n + 1) has been used in evaluating the slope of the solution on the right hand side; this is not a problem to solve for u(n + 1) in this scalar and linear case. For more complicated situations like a nonlinear right hand side or a system of equations, a nonlinear system of equations may have to be inverted.

Note by Note cuisine
|
Note by Note cuisine is a style of cooking based on molecular gastronomy, created by Hervé This. Dishes are made using pure compounds instead of using animal or plant tissues. This said the cuisine is like "a painter using primary colours, or a musician composing electroacoustic music, wave by wave, using a computer".
History
According to Hervé This, Note by Note cuisine began in 1994 and granted the style its name in 1997. This dreamt of the day when recipes gave advice like "add to your bouillon two drops of a 0.001 percent solution of benzylmercaptan in pure alcohol". Promoting the cuisine was a struggle, so between 1994 and 1999, he received no remuneration from it.
After 2006, he convinced French chef Pierre Gagnaire to develop Note by Note; approximately one year later, Gagnaire served the first Note by Note dish in a restaurant. On 26 April 2008, they presented the first Note by Note dish ("Note à note N°1") in Hong Kong. After more common work, Gagnaire named the second Note by Note dish "Chick Corea" after the jazz pianist of the same name.
In 2012, This published La cuisine note à note, where the concept of Note by Note cuisine is discussed.
Since the proposal of note by note cooking, This succeeded having many places in world to organize Note by Note dinners of events. For example:
- 2010 : lecture at the meeting of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, in Strasbourg, in order to invite two Alsatian cooks, Hubert Maetz and Aline Kuntz, to make two note by note dishes, that they did in front of the audience.
- 2010 : at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Gastronomy, note by note educational dinner at the Ecole du Cordon bleu, in Paris. The chefs were Patrick Terrien, Patrick Caals, Frédéric Lesourd, Bruno Stril, Philippe Clergue, Marc Thivet, Franck Poupard, Patrick Lebouc, Jean-François Deguignet, Jean-Jacques Tranchant, Nicolas Bernardé (MOF), and Xavier Cotte. And the menu was the following:
Royale de sous bois, blanc-manger truffé et bouillon légèrement mousseux
Profondeur iodée de poulpe et Saint-Pierre, écume et transparence de spaghettis aux cèpes
Pigeonneau en deux cuissons, sa compotée de cuisses, potimarron fondant, gelée aux polyphénols, asperges virtuelles
Mille-feuille de chèvre frais au siphon
Guimauve en deux textures
Ardoise « This »
Sucrette glacée au parfum de Menton
- 2011 : for the International Year of Chemistry, the official partner was the Dow Chemicals Company, who accepted to fund a note by note banquet, the day before the official opening at UNESCO, in Paris : the 26 th of January, the team of the catering company Potel & Chabot, under the direction of the chef Jean-Pierre Biffi, served a menu of :
Sur une idée d'huitres : huitres de tapioca, bavarois d'amylopectine, tapioca de citron vert, eau de mer gelée, crème d'huitres, vapeur cristallisée
Soufflé au homard, sauce wöhler et gelée de framboises
Fibres de bœuf, capellini, cylindres orange
Boule de cassis
This menu was also served at the Michelin Star Ceremony organized by the journal L'Hôtellerie-Restauration, the same year in Paris.
- October 2011, another note by note dinner was served by the chefs-teachers of the Cordon bleu School, in Paris. The chefs were Patrick Terrien, Patrick Caals, Philippe Clergue, Frédéric Lesourd, Patrick Lebouc, Franck Poupard, Bruno Stril and Marc Thivet, Jean-François Deguignet, Xavier Cotte, Nicolas Jordan and Jean-Jacques Tranchant, and the menu was:
Mille feuilles terre et mer trois couleurs, souligné des deux sauces Kientzheim et crustacés
Recherche note à note en pot-au-feu
Reconstitution d'une mozzarella, huile d'olive et mâche
Le dessert Cordon bleu
- November 2011 : the Association Toques blanches internationales was doing his first « Workshop innovation », on note by note cooking : Jean-Pierre Lepeltier (Hôtel Renaissance La Défense, Paris), David Desplanques (Hôtel Crowne Plazza République, Paris), Michael Foubert (Hôtel Renaissance Arc de Triomphe), Marie Soyez (Hôtel Renaissance La Défense, Paris), David Crenn (Hôtel Renaissance La Défense, Paris), Vincent Vitasse (Hôtel Concorde Lafayette, Paris), Julien Mercier (Hôtel Pullmann Bercy, Paris) were experimenting, after some products were shown.
- December 2011 : This workshop led, this same year in December, on culinary courses given by the chefs of the same Association, during the raise funding event Téléthon: Jean-Pierre Lepeltier (Hôtel Renaissance La Défense, Paris), David Desplanques (Hôtel Crowne Plazza République, Paris), Michael Foubert (Hôtel Renaissance Arc de Triomphe), Marie Soyez (Hôtel Renaissance La Défense, Paris), David Crenn (Hôtel Renaissance La Défense, Paris), Vincent Vitasse (Hôtel Concorde Lafayette, Paris), Julien Mercier (Hôtel Pullmann Bercy, Paris) were educating public that had paid for the courses and taste the dishes.
- April 2012, a series of lectures and press conferences were organized at the Institut du Tourisme et d'Hôtellerie du Québec (ITHQ), in Montreal. For the first press conference, the chef Ismael Osorio and the scientist Erik Ayala Bribiesca, along with chefs and students of ITHQ, served four bouchées note by note to about 150 journalists.
The next day, a note by note meal that was less « art moderne » was served to international journalists, with comments.
- 2012 was also the year in which the public and free Courses on molecular gastronomy discussed note by note cooking. During three podcasted days of lectures, chefs were invited : Philippe Clergue, from le Cordon bleu, and Jean Pierre Lepeltier, the president of the Toques blanches internationales. The courses are on line on the internet site of AgroParisTech http://www2.agroparistech.fr/podcast/-Cours-2012-La-cuisine-note-a-note-.html
- July 2012 : at Euroscience Open Forum, Dublin, Ireland, a lecture by Hervé This was followed by the production of note by note food samples by the chef David Desplanques.
-August 2012 : note by note cooking was shown to the students of the Eramus Mundus Master Program Food Innovation and Product Design, at AgroParisTech, Paris. The chef Jean-Pierre Lepeltier (Hôtel Renaissance La Défense, Paris) came to show new note by note dishes.
Later, there are too many things, such as a new workshop of the Toques blanches internationales, in August 2012, a press conference with demonstrations when the book "La cuisine note à note en 12 questions souriantes" was shown to the press, with dishes prepared by chefs Jean-Pierre Lepeltier, chef Hôtel Renaissance Paris La Défense, Laurent Renouf, sous chef Hôtel Renaissance Paris La Défense, Julien Lasry, chef de partie Hôtel Renaissance Paris La Défense, Marie Soyer, chef de partie Hôtel Renaissance Paris La Défense, Mickael Foubert, chef Hôtel Renaissance Arc de Triomphe, Lucille Bouche, sous chef Hôtel Renaissance Le parc Trocadéro, Yannick Jaouen (sous-chef Hôtel Mariott Rive Gauche Paris)
- In 2013, the first International Contest for Note by Note Cooking took place in Paris. Pierre Gagnaire came and showed the dish named « Chick Corea », that was previously shown at the Book Fair of Paris, some weeks earlier.
Now, the Contest is having its seventh event, after :
- 2014 : using methional
- 2015, playing with proteins, octenol
- 2016, using cellulose and trigeminal compounds
- 2017, fibrous consistencies and acidities
- 2018 : crackling
In July 2013 the Company Mane produced a box of about 20 compounds that was offered to some French chefs, allowing training chefs in the restaurant of Akrame, then at the Plaza Athénée.
Since, all went faster, with about 200 lectures per year, all over the world, showing note by note cooking.
Some items only:
- in Denmark, in 2014,the University of Aarhus and chefs produced a note by note meal served to the king family.
- in Estoril, Portugal, in Boston and New York, in some French culinary schools, as well, note by note cooking is taught.
- in Japan, 2015, a collaboration of the Corbon bleu and Ritsumekan University led to showing note by note sushis to the press, by the chef Guillaume Siegler.
Then, in 2015, when a journalist of the New York Times came to Paris in order to make a piece on note by note cooking, the chef Pierre Gagnaire accepted to make a whole menu in which all dishes were based on one single odorant compound. The menu was :
''Amuses bouche
1-cis-hexen-3-ol
gaïacol et 2,4,6-triisobutyl-5-dihydro-4H-1,3,5-dithiazine
2-acétylthiazole
acétyl méthyl carbinol acétyl propionyl
pipérine
Chick Corea
benzaldéhyde
Now, the most important :
- in 2016, a lecture at the World Chefs Association, in Thessaloniki
- in 2017, a company was created by a young French entrepreneur to sell note by note compounds.
- in May 2017, the chef Andrea Camastra moved to full Note by Note, in his restaurant Senses, in Warsaw, Poland
- in February 2018, a 100 % Note by Note Dinner served by the Alsatian chef Julien Binz (Michelin Star), in Ammerschwihr, Alsace (France)
- in April 2018, a Note by Note Dinner at the Culinary School Le Monde, Athens, Greece
- in July 2018, two Note by Note Dinners served by chefs of the At-Sunrice Global Chef Academy, in Singapore, to Ministers, Ambassadors and other distinguished guests
Now, note by note is regularly taught in some universities, including AgroParisTech and the Dublin Institute of Technology, whereas the International contest goes on every year at AgroParisTech.
Preparation
Ingredients used in Note by Note cuisine are called compounds, which include water, ethanol, sucrose, protein, amino acids and lipids. For example, in the "wölher sauce" made by Note by Note cuisine, the following might be added: water, anthocyanins (for colour), sugars, ethanol, amino acids (for flavour), glycerol, phenols, quinones, and organic acids.

Truncated triangular trapezohedron
|
In geometry, the truncated triangular trapezohedron is the first in an infinite series of truncated trapezohedra. It has 6 pentagon and 2 triangle faces.
Geometry
This polyhedron can be constructed by truncating two opposite vertices of a cube, of a trigonal trapezohedron (a convex polyhedron with six congruent rhombus sides, formed by stretching or shrinking a cube along one of its long diagonals), or of a rhombohedron or parallelepiped (less symmetric polyhedra that still have the same combinatorial structure as a cube). In the case of a cube, or of a trigonal trapezohedron where the two truncated vertices are the ones on the stretching axes, the resulting shape has three-fold rotational symmetry.
Dürer's solid
This polyhedron is sometimes called Dürer's solid, from its appearance in Albrecht Dürer's 1514 engraving Melencolia I.
The graph formed by its edges and vertices is called the Dürer graph.
The shape of the solid depicted by Dürer is a subject of some academic debate. According to , the hypothesis that the shape is a misdrawn truncated cube was promoted by ; however most sources agree that it is the truncation of a rhombohedron. Despite this agreement, the exact geometry of this rhombohedron is the subject of several contradictory theories:
claims that the rhombi of the rhombohedron from which this shape is formed have 5:6 as the ratio between their short and long diagonals, from which the acute angles of the rhombi would be approximately 80°.
and instead conclude that the ratio is √3:2 and that the angle is approximately 82°.
measures features of the drawing and finds that the angle is approximately 79°. She and a later author, Wolf von Engelhardt (see ) argue that this choice of angle comes from its physical occurrence in calcite crystals.
argues based on the writings of Dürer that all vertices of Dürer's solid lie on a common sphere, and further claims that the rhombus angles are 72°. lists several other scholars who also favor the 72° theory, beginning with Paul Grodzinski in 1955. He argues that this theory is motivated less by analysis of the actual drawing, and more by aesthetic principles relating to regular pentagons and the golden ratio.
analyzes a 1510 sketch by Dürer of the same solid, from which he confirms Schreiber's hypothesis that the shape has a circumsphere but with rhombus angles of approximately 79.5°.
argues that the shape is intended to depict a solution to the famous geometric problem of doubling the cube, which Dürer also wrote about in 1525. He therefore concludes that (before the corners are cut off) the shape is a cube stretched along its long diagonal. More specifically, he argues that Dürer drew an actual cube, with the long diagonal parallel to the perspective plane, and then enlarged his drawing by some factor in the direction of the long diagonal; the result would be the same as if he had drawn the elongated solid. The enlargement factor that is relevant for doubling the cube is 21/3 ≈ 1.253, but Hideko derives a different enlargement factor that fits the drawing better, 1.277, in a more complicated way.
classify the proposed solutions to this problem by two parameters: the acute angle and the level of cutting, called the cross ratio. Their estimate of the cross ratio is close to MacGillavry's, and has a numerical value close to the golden ratio. Based on this they posit that the acute angle is and that the cross ratio is exactly .

(86039) 1999 NC43
|
, is an asteroid on an eccentric orbit, classified as near-Earth object and potentially hazardous asteroid of the Apollo group, approximately 2 kilometers in diameter. This suspected tumbler and relatively slow rotator was discovered by LINEAR in 1999.
Discovery
The asteroid was discovered on 14 July 1999, by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) team at Lincoln Laboratory's Experimental Test Site, near Socorro, New Mexico, USA, at an apparent magnitude of 18, using a 1.0-meter reflector.
Its first observation was made by the Catalina Sky Survey in June 1999, extending the asteroid's observation arc by one month prior to its official discovery observation.
Orbit and classification
has a well-determined orbit with an uncertainty of 0. The body orbits the Sun at a distance of 0.7–2.8 AU once every 2 years and 4 months (852 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.58 and an inclination of 7° with respect to the ecliptic. Its Earth minimum orbit intersection distance is , which corresponds to 9.5 lunar distances. Its most notable close approach to Earth will be on 14 February 2173 at a distance of . The asteroid also makes close approaches to Venus and Mars.
Physical characteristics
The rare Q-type asteroid is one of only 20 characterized bodies of this spectral type in the SMASS taxonomic scheme.
Rotation period
Several rotational lightcurves were obtained from photometric observations by Czech astronomer Petr Pravec at Ondřejov Observatory and American astronomer Brian Warner at his private Palmer Divide Observatory, Colorado. Best rated results gave a rotation period of hours with an exceptionally high brightness variation of 1.1 magnitude (). Pravec's alternative period of 122 hours was later not supported by Warner. However, there are still other periods possible due to sparse photometric data points. The asteroid is also suspected to be in a tumbling motion, which makes the determination of its period more complex. For an asteroid of its size, it is a relatively slow rotator.
Diameter and albedo
According to the survey carried out by the Japanese Akari satellite, the asteroid has a high albedo of 0.35 and a diameter of 1.43 kilometers. Observations by the Keck Observatory in the thermal infrared gave a refined albedo of 0.13–0.14 with a larger diameter of 2.22 kilometers.
Chelyabinsk meteor fragment
is suspected to be related to the 20-meter Chelyabinsk meteor, which exploded as a bright fireball over Russia on 15 February 2013. Analysis showed similar orbits for both bodies and suggested that they were once part of the same object.
Numbering and naming
This minor planet was numbered by the Minor Planet Center on 30 August 2004. As of 2018, it has not been named.

Milton Lodge
|
Milton Lodge is a house and garden overlooking the city of Wells in the English county of Somerset.
The terraced garden, which was laid out in the early 20th century, is listed as Grade II on the Register of Historic Parks and Gardens of special historic interest in England.
House
Milton Lodge was built by Aaron Foster in 1790 and descended in his family until it passed, by marriage, into the ownership of the Tudway family in the mid 19th century. The Tudways had lived nearby at a house, known as The Cedars, which was built in the 1760s by Thomas Paty, and had bought up much of the local land. In 1909 Charles Tudway moved the main family residence to Milton Lodge, with The Cedars being used during World War I as a military hospital and later by Wells Theological College and Wells Cathedral School.
Garden
The garden was laid out in 1903 by Capt Croker Ives Partridge of the Alfred Parsons garden design company for Charles Tudway. It consists of a series of terraces planted with mixed borders including a collection of roses and climbing plants. The terraces include Yew hedges, ponds and fountains. The traditional English vegetation is supplemented with Mediterranean plants which are able to flourish due to the microclimate of the site.
The upper terrace includes four canons from the Napoleonic Wars are on display.
The Combe, which covers , on the opposite side of a small road was planted in the 19th century as an orchard and arboretum.
There is an examples of a tree, known as the dove tree, handkerchief tree, pocket handkerchief tree or ghost tree which was sent from China around 1900 by Father Armand David.

Théâtre Nanterre-Amandiers
|
The Théâtre Nanterre-Amandiers, also Théâtre des Amandiers, is a theatre in Nanterre and a known theatre outside of Paris. The present building opened in 1976. The company is a Centre dramatique national (National dramatic center), a national public theatre. Artistic directors included Patrice Chéreau and Catherine Tasca (1982), Jean-Pierre Vincent (1990) and Jean-Louis Martinelli (2002). The theatre runs a film studio and an acting school which is connected to theatre studies at the Paris West University Nanterre La Défense.
History
The theatre developed from the Festival de Nanterre, first staged in 1965 in a circus tent. In 1966 it was moved to the University of Nanterre. From 1971 it was made a Centre dramatique national, a national public theater, and received public funding.
In 1976 the theatre moved to the Maison de la Culture. That event is considered the inauguration of the theater. The building, which seats 900 people, is at 7 avenue Pablo Picasso in Nanterre. In 1982 the theatre was named Théâtre des Amandiers and directed by Patrice Chéreau and Catherine Tasca. Chéreau established a theatre school and a film studio. His first staging was Combat de nègres et de chiens by Bernard-Marie Koltès, followed by the author's Quai Ouest, Dans la solitude des champs de coton and Le retour au désert. Productions of Arthur Schnitzler's Das weite Land by Luc Bondy and a staged version of Louis-Ferdinand Céline's novel Journey to the End of the Night by André Engel were also notable. Chéreau staged plays by Jean Genet, Pierre de Marivaux, Heiner Müller, Jean Racine, and Shakespeare.
Jean-Pierre Vincent directed the theatre from 1990 to 2001. From 1991 to 2001 Georges Aperghis, the leader of the group L'ATEM, directed music productions. From 2001 Jean-Louis Martinelli directed the theatre.

Association of Iranian Journalists
|
The Association of Iranian Journalists () is a professional organization in Iran that serves to "protect and safeguard the legal and professional rights of Iranian journalists." The organization was created in 1997 at the onset of the presidency of reformist Mohammad Khatami. In 2008, the association had 4,000 members.
With the inauguration of the presidency of conservative Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the association faced systematic harassment from government authorities, which culminated in its closure by the government in August 2009.
The association is a full member of the International Federation of Journalists.
Ahmadinejad presidency
Ahmadinejad's crackdown on Iranian civil society brought the association into "open conflict" with his government. In August 2006, pro-government journalists unsuccessfully attempted to take control of the organization. On June 24, 2008, labor minister Mohammad Jahromi wrote a letter to the association, threatening to dissolve the "illegal" group. In response, Reporters Without Borders said, "This is yet another attempt by the Iranian authorities to silence those who defend free expression in Iran."
In aftermath of the disputed June 2009 Iranian presidential election, when protesters took to the streets to voice their discontent with the results, a number of journalists affiliated with the association were arrested. On June 20, authorities arrested the head of the association, Ali Mazroui. On July 3, 2009, Issa Saharkhiz, a founding member of the association, was arrested.
On August 5, 2009, the association shut down following a raid by security forces. The International Federation of Journalists condemned the closure as part of a "campaign of intimidation" against the media and said that "Iran must not make journalists scapegoats for its political troubles."
Rouhani presidency
In response to a question about the Association of Iranian Journalists in his first press conference as president-elect on June 17, 2013, Hassan Rouhani said, "I believe that not only that association but all associations should be revived legally because these organizations are the best tools to manage the issues of society and the management of social issues must be carried out through these very professional and trade associations and groups. I will put my efforts into this."
In conflict with the president's pledge, however, Iranian judiciary spokesman Gholam-Hossein Ejhei said in October 2013 that the association would remain closed.

Elisabetta Bavagnoli
|
Elisabetta "Betty" Bavagnoli (born 3 September 1963) is an Italian football coach and former defender or midfielder. As a player, she represented the Italian women's national team and various clubs in women's Serie A.
Playing style
During her playing career versatile Bavagnoli played in several different positions. Beginning as a right winger, she developed into a full back, then a lateral midfielder. She finished her playing days as a sweeper.
Coaching style
Bavagnoli sends her teams out in a traditional 4–4–2, but will sometimes depart from her favoured formation depending on the players at her disposal. She expects her players to pressure opponents high up the pitch.
Playing career
Club
Bavagnoli broke into the team of hometown club Piacenza as a youngster. She stayed for five seasons until the club was dissolved in 1983. She moved on to Modena, then Lazio, where she won her first of seven league titles in 1987–88. At Lazio she also formed a friendship with Carolina Morace which would result in a long professional collaboration. Together with Morace, Bavagnoli played at Reggiana and Milan, leaving the latter in 1993–94 due to the club's financial difficulties. She moved to Torres, then continued her partnership with Morace at Aircargo Agliana, Günther Verona and back at Modena.
Retiring in 1999 at age 36, Bavagnoli finished her career with two seasons back at Lazio. In the first campaign she was player-coach, then she became player-assistant-coach under Morace who managed Lazio in 1998–99, having completed her own playing career. The team collected the 1999 Coppa Italia, beating ACF Milan 4–0 in the final.
International
She debuted for the Italian women's national team in May 1986, in a 1–0 win over Hungary in Potenza. She subsequently played in four editions of the UEFA Women's Championship as well as at the inaugural 1991 FIFA Women's World Cup. She was part of the team which finished second at UEFA Women's Euro 1993, the Azzurre's best achievement to date.
Bavagnoli won 80 caps for Italy, scoring one goal. Her final appearance came in a 2–0 friendly win over England in April 1997.
Coaching career
Immediately after retirement, Bavagnoli joined the coaching staff of Carolina Morace, who had got a job as manager of men's third division club Viterbese. Defeat in the second league match of the 1999–00 season caused the team's unstable owner Luciano Gaucci to say he would replace Morace's staff. Morace resigned, followed by Bavagnoli a few days later.
In July 2000, Morace began coaching the Italian women's national team, with Bavagnoli as her assistant. They had responsibility for the senior and under-18 teams. In 2003 Bavagnoli assumed control of the Italian women's under-19 team and guided them to the 2004 FIFA U-19 Women's World Championship in Thailand.
She then returned to Lazio, as a technical director, alongside Antonello Belli. She worked with the female youth teams at Lodigiani and Fiano Romano, whose senior team she also coached in the 2008–09 season. From February 2009 to July 2011 she assisted Morace in coaching the Canada women's national soccer team, where they won the Cyprus Cup in 2010 and 2011 and the CONCACAF Women's Championship in 2010. Both left following Canada's disappointing 2011 World Cup campaign.
On 10 December 2012, Bavagnoli began attending Coverciano to study for her UEFA Pro Licence—the highest coaching qualification available. She was awarded the licence on 5 July 2013, the only woman who passed. Meanwhile, she had continued to work with Morace, in various ventures related to youth football. from the 2018 until the 2021 season, Bavagnoli coached AS Roma's female Serie A side to excellent results, thus resulting in her being promoted to director responsible of the female division during 2022.

The Beast in Its Tracks
|
The Beast in Its Tracks is the seventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Josh Ritter. It was released on March 5, 2013.
Background and production
On April 17, 2010, American singer-songwriter Josh Ritter released his sixth full-length studio album, So Runs the World Away. This was followed by a live album, Live at The Iveagh Gardens, in December 2011, as well as two extended plays, To the Yet Unknowing World (2011) and Bringing in the Darlings (2012).
The album was written and recorded over a period of 18 months, with much of the initial material discarded. Ritter says that, "The first couple months after everything came crashing down, I was so filled with rage and manic energy. I wanted to record," but that the songs that came out of that period were "forced".
Ritter recorded the album at The Great North Sound Society in Maine with producer Sam Kassirer, who started working with the artist on 2007's The Historical Conquests of Josh Ritter, and who also played keyboard in Ritter's Royal City Band. Ritter credits Kassirer with helping him achieve catharsis, saying that he was putting too much pressure on himself at the start of the recording process, and that Kassirer said, "We're going to put a microphone in front of you, record it, and get it all out there. Don't worry about what you want to cut."
Themes and composition
The Beast in Its Tracks has been compared to Beck's 2002 album Sea Change, also inspired by the end of a long-term relationship, and Bob Dylan's autobiographical Blood on the Tracks. Ritter, who had previously shied away from writing autobiographical music, told CBS News that, when his marriage fell apart, he felt as if he had no choice but to write about it, saying, "I owed myself to put the songs on the record and I owe myself to sing them." He described his method of composition as "writing things down as they were happening."
Ritter made a conscious decision not to listen to other breakup albums while writing Beast, telling Erin Lyndal Martin of PopMatters that it was too painful to listen to many of the songs he used to love.
Ritter wrote an open letter to his fans, detailing his personal life throughout the time period where Beast was written.
Release and promotion
Ritter announced the album, as well as the details of a 2013 North American tour, on December 11, 2012. As part of the album announcement, Ritter released the first single from The Beast in Its Tracks, "Joy to You Baby".
The Beast in Its Tracks debuted at #22 on the Billboard 200 for the week of March 23, 2013. The following week, it dropped down to #66. The album also had strong showings on the Americana/Folk Albums Billboard chart, where it spent 11 weeks and peaked at #3 on March 23; and the Top Rock Albums chart, where it spent two weeks and peaked at #8. Internationally, The Beast in Its Tracks also appeared on the Belgian and Dutch charts, spending one week at #191 and #98, respectively.
Reception
The Beast In Its Tracks was released to a positive reception from music critics. Review aggregator Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, gave the album an average score of 78, indicating "generally favourable reviews".
Stephen Thompson of NPR said that the album "mostly hovers in a fascinating spot" somewhere between the pain of divorce and the joy of a new relationship.

Skagen Town and Regional Museum
|
Skagen Town and Regional Museum () is a private museum in Skagen in the far north of Jutland, Denmark.
History
The open-air museum consisting of buildings tracing the history of the town was established as Skagen Bymuseum in 1927 by the citizens of Skagen. It also has displays focusing on its fisheries, lifeboat services and navigation. Originally located in Skagen's Østerby, in 1938 it was moved to its current site on Svallerbakken in the dunes bordering Vesterby. In 1997, the name was changed to Skagen By- og Egnsmuseum. In 2009 it became associated with the region's other cultural heritage museums under the heading Nordjyllands Kystmuseum and re-named Kystmuseet Skagen.
Collection
The museum consists of a number of old houses showing how fishermen and other local inhabitants lived in times gone by. It covers the town's development from the beginning of the 19th century to the present day. The country residences of the rich and the huts of poor fishermen are among the exhibits. There is also a blacksmith's shop and a lifeboat station. Indoors, there are displays of nautical artifacts, old photographs and paintings covering various periods in the history of Skagen up to the present day. There is also an old Dutch windmill on the site.

Children in Need 2013
|
Children in Need 2013 is a campaign held in the United Kingdom to raise money for the charity Children in Need. 2013 marks the 33rd anniversary of the appeal which culminated in a live broadcast on BBC One and BBC Two on the evening of Friday 15 November until the early hours of Saturday 16 November. The broadcast was hosted by Sir Terry Wogan, with Tess Daly, Fearne Cotton, Zoe Ball and Nick Grimshaw as co-hosts. The show was broadcast from the BBC in Elstree but also includes regular regional opt-outs. The 2013 appeal marked the first Children in Need broadcast from BBC Elstree Centre after the closing down of the show's previous home Television Centre. Its new studio, adjacent to the set of EastEnders enabled the show to include live segments and performances from the fictional Albert Square including star interviews in The Queen Victoria Pub hosted by cast member Shane Richie.
Children in Need broke a record raising the highest amount in Children in Need history, £5,000,000 more than its previous telethon, by raising a total of £31.1 million on the night. The campaign for the year ended in July 2014 when it was announced that the entire campaign raised £49.6 million.

Trogulus tricarinatus
|
Trogulus tricarinatus is a species of harvestman. It is found in Europe and North America.
T. tricarinatus grows to between 7 and 9mm in both sexes. The second pair of legs grow to 8mm. The body is flattened and narrow. The legs are short and robust, with the front two pairs having two segments and the back two three. Immature specimens are violet in colour. They pass through six moults over a period of up to nine months before reaching adulthood.
This harvestman is widespread in Europe (excluding Scandinavia) and has been introduced into North America. It is rare in Britain, usually found only in the south. It is generally found in calcareous areas, and is often found in leaf litter. It moves slowly and is usually covered in particles of dirt.
The openings of the scent glands in this species are not visible and the glands appear to have a non-defensive role.
T. tricarinatus feeds on snails and lays eggs in the empty shells. It also feeds on insects and earthworms.
It is similar to the smaller Anelasmocephalus cambridgei.

Saint-Mihiel Abbey
|
Saint-Mihiel Abbey is an ancient Benedictine abbey situated in the town of Saint-Mihiel, near Verdun in the Meuse department in Lorraine in north-eastern France.
The benedictine abbey was built in 708 or 709 by a Count Wulfoalde and his wife Adalsinde, probably to house the relics that Wulfoalde had brought back from Italy.
It was dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel, a popular saint at the time, as can be testified by the establishment of the abbeys of Mont St Michel in Normandy and the Abbey of Honau in Alsace in the same period.
In 1734 the tombs of both Wulfoalde and Adalsinde were discovered in the abbey.
The abbey was placed under the authority of Fulrad of St Denis, chaplain to Charlemagne.
In 755 a mayor Wulfoald, probably a relative of the founder of the abbey, was accused of high treason and plotting against Pepin the Short, was condemned to death. When Fulrad intervened to save his life, Wulfoald expressed his gratitude by giving King Childéric II his possessions, including the Abbey.
The Abbey is best known for its abbot Smaragdus, who moved there around the year 814 with his monks from the monastery on Mt. Castellion.
Some time between 816 and 826 Smaragdus obtained royal protection for the abbey from Louis the Pious, ensuring that wagons, pack-horses and ships would be exempt from customs taxes on goods transported between the monastery and its lands.
Smaragdus achieved fame as a writer of homilies, and for his writings on the Rule of St Benedict.
Smaragdus, who died around 840, was succeeded as Abbott by Hadegaudus, who was probably elected by the monks themselves.
Abbots in the tenth century included Odon I, followed by Sarovard, followed by Odon II, who died in 995.
Over the years, the abbey proved very popular with royalty, emperors and kings and dukes. In the 11th century, for example, it came under the protection of Gérard, Duke of Lorraine.
During the Middle Ages, the Abbey was famous for its relics, not least of which concerned Saint Anatole, Bishop of Cahors, whose body was reputed to have been transferred to Mihiel in 779.
The Abbey was dissolved during the French revolution.
The Church of Saint Michel
The Abbey Church is known as the Church of Saint Michel. Part of the 11th century porch still remains. The nave was rebuilt in the 16th century and modified in the 17th century.
The Church contains a walnut sculpture of the swooning of Mary by Ligier Richier dated 1531 (or 1537).
The library
Today the Abbey is best known for its library. The library is still on the original site, which it now shares with a school and, since 1978, with the town hall. The collections include 8780 books including 86 incunabula, 74 manuscripts from the ninth to the sixteenth centuries. It is housed in a purpose-built building, constructed in 1775. It is managed as a special collection by the municipal library. A number of the more valuable works are available online in digital form. The most famous of these is a 9th-century manuscript on the Holy Trinity by Pseudo-Athanasius, which was stolen during World War one, but discovered in a Hamburg bookshop in 2007 and reintegrated into the collection.
Cartulary of Saint-Mihiel
A cartulary of Saint-Mihiel was composed towards the end of the 11th century and is preserved in the Meuse Departmental Archives at Bar-le-Duc.

UK National Screening Committee
|
The UK National Screening Committee co-ordinates the screening of people for medical conditions within the United Kingdom. Since April 2013 it has been part of Public Health England.
The committee was established in 1996, with Sir Kenneth Calman (Chief Medical Officer for England 1991–1998) as its first chairman. Professor Bob Steele (a specialist in colorectal cancer) has held the post since August 2016.
The committee maintains a list of policies in relation to various types of screening, and attempts to balance the risks against the benefits in each case. Some policies say that screening should be provided for everyone or some people, others that screening is not recommended. Each year it publishes a report reviewing its work.
In November 2013, the committee were involved in the testing of a new non-invasive prenatal blood test for Down's Syndrome at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children. Invasive screening methods, either amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling, result in a miscarriage in 1 out of every 100 tests. An estimated 90% of women who learn that their child has Down's syndrome choose to have an abortion. The outcome of the test will not be healthier children with the syndrome, but fewer.

Sir Kenneth Calman – 1996 to 1998
Henrietta Campbell (Chief Medical Officer for Northern Ireland) – 1998 to 2006
Dr Harry Burns (Chief Medical Officer, Scottish Government) – 2006 to 2013

Mark Morris (ice hockey)
|
Mark Morris (born March 31, 1958) is an American former professional ice hockey defenseman. He was the head coach of St. Lawrence from 2016-2019, succeeding Greg Carvel who departed for UMass.
Career
Morris played four seasons (1981 – 1984) of professional hockey, mostly with the New Haven Nighthawks of the American Hockey League (AHL), where he scored 9 goals and 33 assists for 42 points, with 146 penalty minutes, in 156 AHL games played.
Following his playing career, Morris turned to coaching and found his way to Clarkson. He became the Golden Knights most successful coach winning more games, regular season titles, tournament titles and reaching more NCAA tournaments than anyone in school history.
In November 2002, Morris was fired three games into the 2002-03 season following an on-ice incident with one of his own players. Clarkson president Denny Brown said that in light of both the incident and Morris' refusal to take part in an internal investigation that had taken place, Clarkson had no choice but to fire Morris immediately.
In professional hockey, Morris began his professional coaching career under Marc Crawford, serving from February 2003 to April 2003 as the Special Assistant Coach/Interim Strength and Conditioning Coach for the Vancouver Canucks of the NHL. Then, after a two-year stint at a prep school in Lake Placid, Morris landed a job with the Manchester Monarchs of the American Hockey League in 2006. He spent eight years as head coach, compiling a record of 339-223-67, making him the only coach in history with over 300 wins in both the college and professional ranks.
In 2016 Morris returned to the college game, taking over at St. Lawrence, which is less than 10 miles from Clarkson University, and attempted to try and continue the success he had in the 1990s. After a good first season Morris found himself mired in an NCAA investigation that alleged multiple serious rules violations but after three months he was cleared on all but one minor infraction. In his third season Morris posted the second-worst record in program history, including the most losses for any Saints team, and was unsurprisingly fired at the end of the postseason.

Velaiilla Pattadhari
|
Velaiilla Pattadhari (), popularly referred to as VIP, is a 2014 Indian Tamil-language action comedy-drama film written and directed by Velraj, in his directorial debut. The film stars Dhanush and Amala Paul, while Vivek, Saranya Ponvannan, Samuthirakani and Surbhi play supporting roles.
Dhanush, besides acting, producing and distributing the venture in association with Escape Artists Motion Pictures, also worked as the lyricist and album producer on the film's original soundtrack. The film's album and score were composed by Anirudh Ravichander.The stunt department of this movie handled by Hari Dinesh. The film focuses on Raghuvaran, a graduate who is unemployed for four years, and how he gets a job, whilst successfully overcoming various obstacles before and after finding employment.
Principal photography commenced in August 2013 and was completed by May 2014, with the film being shot primarily in Chennai. The film was released on 18 July 2014, and received positive critical reception. It was remade in Kannada as Brihaspathi (2018). A sequel to the film directed by Soundarya Rajinikanth was released on 11 August 2017.
Plot
Raghuvaran is a graduate in Civil Engineering, but has been unemployed for four years. He is adamant about working in a job related to his field only and is unwilling to accept any other profession. He often comes into conflict with his father, who considers him irresponsible. His younger brother, Karthik, works in an IT company, earning well and, evidently, his father's approval. Raghuvaran's mother, Bhuvana, however, supports him. Raghuvaran falls for his neighbour's daughter, Shalini who hates him initially, but warms up to him after hearing about the difficulties he is facing and eventually reciprocates his love.
One day, while Raghuvaran's father and Karthik are absent, he is asked to look after his mother, who has a heart condition. However, he goes out on a date with Shalini. He gets continuous phone calls from his mother, which he ignores despite Shalini's insistence to pick them up. However, on returning home, he finds out that his mother had died of a heart attack. Raghuvaran feels guilty about not being there when his mother needed him and develops depression. Meanwhile, Bhuvana's lungs are transplanted into Anitha, a chain smoker who developed lung cancer. Anitha's father Ramkumar is the chairman of a civil engineering company in Chennai and offers Raghuvaran a job as a token of his gratitude for saving his daughter's life. Raghuvaran accepts the job while also requesting Anitha not to smoke, which she agrees. Six months later, Raghuvaran is offered an assignment on a government project to construct high-rise flats to re-house people living in a nearby slum. Azhagusundaram and Manickam are appointed as his assistants. He successfully wins the contract from the government and begins work on it immediately.
Arun Subramaniam, a business novice who took over his father's company's Chennai branch, bids for the same contract, even by using illegal methods. Furious that he did not get the land, he tries to thwart Raghuvaran's progress in a number of ways. Raghuvaran overcomes each of these obstacles and continues his work, but Arun eventually hires rowdies to beat up Raghuvaran's workers at the construction site. The workers get injured and end up in hospital, which prompts Raghuvaran to go to Arun's office to put an end to this issue. He makes Arun confess that he sent the rowdies, which is recorded by a micro spy camera, and demands an apology from Arun, blackmailing him that otherwise the video would be made public. Fearing that the video could tarnish his reputation, Arun's father, Venkat, sends his son to the hospital to apologise. Raghuvaran accepts the apology and the project is completed within ten months.
On the day of the flats' inauguration, Arun and a gang of rowdies ambush Raghuvaran en route. He outwits them but spares Arun, much to Arun's surprise. Raghuvaran says he has no intention to compete with or beat him and wishes to be his friend. Raghuvaran takes Arun to the site on his moped, where the state public works minister and Anitha inaugurate the flats.

Production
Development
Velraj and Dhanush had worked together on several projects including Aadukalam (2011) and 3 (2012) as cinematographer and lead actor respectively. During the production of those films, Dhanush suggested Velraj to make his debut as a director and promised to play the lead role. After Velraj showed Dhanush the film's script, Dhanush agreed to play the lead role as well as produce the film. In July 2013, Dhanush confirmed his collaboration with Velraj, whilst also confirming the inclusion of Amala Paul as the female lead and Anirudh Ravichander as the music director. The title of the film, Velaiilla Pattadhari was unveiled on 15 August 2013. After the title launch, Dhanush confirmed that filming would start on 20 August 2013.
Regarding the film's development, Velraj said, "Dhanush must have liked something about me to help me grow. It was during our Aadukalam days that he promised to make me a director and said he would act in my first film. Several directors would have lined up for this opportunity. He chose me. It's just a bond we share."
Velraj shot the film alongside his commitments as cinematographer for Poriyaalan (2014) and Vai Raja Vai, while Anirudh Ravichander and Kola Bhaskar joined the team as music composer and editor respectively. However, Bhaskar was replaced with M. V. Rajesh Kumar after scheduling conflicts arose. The film was planned as a "message to the youth with some comedy on rising unemployment and the growing frustration for jobs with love".
Casting
When Velraj showed Dhanush the script for the film, he was impressed by it and immediately offered to act in it as well as bankroll the venture. Velraj said besides acting, Dhanush suggested additional inputs to the script. Rather than demand changes, the actor collaborated with the director to develop the best script for the film. Dhanush's well-toned body was remarked upon by the media, but Dhanush clarified the workout was mostly for promoting the film rather than having done it as an integral part of his character. Velraj later commented about the requirement of a muscular appearance for a fight scene in the film's climax, resulting in Dhanush toning his body for the sequence. Dhanush's character was named Raghuvaran after the actor of the same name.
Amala Paul was selected to play the role of a doctor named Shalini. She described her character as "very different" from those that she had done before, and that the characters in the film were drawn from real-life archetypes. Vivek, who was added to the cast in May 2014, stated during a press meet of the film that he initially rejected the role and as a result, Dhanush decided to make someone else play the role. Vivek then accepted the role for Dhanush's sake. Saranya Ponvannan was selected to play the role of Bhuvana, Raghuvaran's mother, while Samuthirakani was chosen to play Dhanush's father. Samuthirakani was suggested to Dhanush by Vetrimaaran.
Actress Surbhi began filming her scenes in early March 2014. Hrishikesh, who plays Karthik, Raghuvaran's sibling, received an SMS from Dhanush's production office, which asked him to audition for the role. He was selected after his screen test ended successfully. Amitash Pradhan played the main antagonist, Arun Subramaniam. He was recruited from the Anupam Kher Acting School. In an interview with Gulf News, Amitash described his character to be not the "stereotypical villain" often seen in Tamil cinema, and that his character was more cunning.
Filming
Principal photography formally began on 20 August 2013. An initial production poster was released to the media on 25 December 2013. On 31 December 2013, the team released a teaser trailer featuring Dhanush, Amala Paul and Saranya. The team began the final shoot on 2 May 2014, with Vivek amongst other actors joining the cast. Filming was completed on 4 May 2014.
During the film's shoot, Velraj would often forget to say "Action!", but despite this, there were hardly any retakes. Being a cinematographer, Velraj gave priority to visual presentations and costume designing in the film. Director Subramaniam Siva, who had earlier collaborated with Dhanush for Thiruda Thirudi (2003), helped with the post-production work involved in the film. According to Velraj, during the entire schedule of filming, the speaking parts were completed in 52 days.
Themes and influences
Velaiilla Pattadhari raises the issue of unemployed graduates in society. Dhanush's character, Raghuvaran, represented the unemployed graduate who is waiting to move up the social ladder. One scene shows Raghuvaran delivering a speech about the difficulties in finishing an engineering degree only to remain jobless, with some of them having to take jobs not related to their fields to make a living. Dhanush's characterisation was similar to his characters from his previous films like Polladhavan (2007), Yaaradi Nee Mohini (2008) and Padikkadavan (2009). Both Baradwaj Rangan of The Hindu and M. Suganth of The Times of India compare Dhanush's and Amitash's characters and their encounters with each other to those that took place between the second king of the United Kingdom of Israel and Judah, David and the Philistine warrior, Goliath.
The film shifts from exploring self-pity to proving a point, where the protagonist overcomes all hurdles and outwits a rich adversary, as well as building a successful relationship. The father-figure in the film disapproves of his son's continued unemployment, while his mother defends him. Karthik, meanwhile, is a contrasting figure, being settled and prosperous. Amala Paul's character, Shalini, is shown as Raghuvaran's confidante though he feels jealous when she interacts with his brother. The film also portrays the relationship between a mother and her son as particularly important. Prior to the release, there were concerns raised that the film was similar to the Kamal Haasan starrer, Sathyaa (1988). Dhanush clarified that there were no similarities between the films, nor was it similar to another Haasan film, Varumayin Niram Sivappu (1980), except for the fact that the protagonist was unemployed.
Music
The film's soundtrack and score were composed by Anirudh Ravichander. The album, containing eight tracks, was initially scheduled to be released in January 2014, but the release was brought forward to 14 February 2014, to add two additional songs. The team also recorded a track described as a "lilting melody" between Dhanush and singer S. Janaki in October 2013. Anirudh promoted the album on Sun Music a week before the film's release. The track list was released on 10 February 2014. The album was launched at the Suryan FM 93.5 radio station with Dhanush, Amala Paul and Anirudh Ravichander in attendance. The album received positive response from critics. The songs "Velaiilla Pattadhari", "Poo Indru Neeyaga", "What a Karuvad" and "Udhungada Sangu" topped the Radio Mirchi South charts for 31 weeks.
Release
The theatrical rights of the film in Tamil Nadu were sold to Madhan of Escape Artists Motion Pictures. ATMUS Entertainment distributed the film in the United States. On 1 July 2014, Madhan confirmed that the film would be released on 18 July 2014.
The film was released in 350 screens in Tamil Nadu. The film released in 60 screens in Chengalpattu, 65 screens in Kovai, 30 screens in Madurai, 30 screens in Trichy and 55 screens in Salem. The film also released in 60 screens in Kerala and 65 screens in Karnataka.
The film was later dubbed and released into Telugu-language under the title Raghuvaran B.Tech and in Hindi as VIP.
Marketing
The official first look poster of Velaiilla Pattadhari was released by Dhanush through his official Twitter account on 24 December 2013. The teaser of the film was uploaded on YouTube on 9 February 2014. The official trailer of the film was released on 18 June 2014 on YouTube, and trended on social networking sites following its release, reaching 2 million views in two weeks.
Controversies
Some of the posters depicting Dhanush smoking were removed, followed by the complaint raised by the authorities, as this did not conform to the Tobacco Control Board's guidelines. The administrators of the Ramakrishna Mission School opposed a dialogue spoken by the character Raghuvaran attributing his weak English to the subpar education he received in that school. Velraj explained that they never contemplated such a huge opposition and did not want to hurt the sentiments of anyone, hence it was decided to remove the dialogue from the film.
Home media
The film's satellite rights were sold to Sun TV. The television premiere took place on 15 January 2015, coinciding with Pongal. The dubbed Telugu version Raghuvaran B. Tech was aired on Star Maa, which bought the Telugu satellite rights on 22 February 2015.
Reception
Critical response
The film received generally positive reviews from critics. Writing for The Hindu, Baradwaj Rangan said "There are films that cater to the actor, and there are films that cater to the star — in , Dhanush gets a film where he gets to showcase both sides ... [Velraj has] given actor-Dhanush fans half a movie to love, and he's handed over the rest to the star-Dhanush fans. Is there much use complaining when both actor and star are in such fine form?" Sify wrote " is a rollicking fun ride. It's pure unadulterated masala laced with all essential ingredients that work with mass audiences. Writer, director and cinematographer R Velraj has made a dream debut with a perfect commercial mix".
M. Suganth of The Times of India gave the film 4 out of 5 stars and wrote, "[...] Velraj (the cinematographer making his directorial debut) superbly manages to strike a balance between the emotional and mass hero moments.[...] It is fantastic to see Dhanush take this boy-next-door to mass hero mode and he has quite a few punchy lines." Anupama Subramanian of the Deccan Chronicle gave the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and wrote, "Dhanush has chosen a befitting script for his 25th milestone film and in the company of his favourite cinematographer turned filmmaker Velraj, who has churned out a mass family entertainer with ", calling it a "wholesome entertainer".
Oneindia Entertainment gave the film 3 out of 5 stars and stated that " is a perfect entertainer for Dhanush's fans". S. Saraswathi of Rediff gave the film 3 stars out of 5 and concluded, " is two hours of pure entertainment, definitely worth a watch". Haricharan Pudipeddi of IANS gave the film 3 stars out 5 and stated, "While VIP fortifies Dhanush's heroism in a tailor-made role which he comfortably pulls off, it also achieves so many things right as a commercial film and that's what works in its favour. Dhanush reinforces he's still cut out for commercial cinema with ".
In contrast, Malini Mannath of The New Indian Express wrote, "With its racy first half and a predictable second half, VIP is an average entertainer". Gautaman Bhaskaran of the Hindustan Times gave the film 2 out of 5, saying "Although presents a grave social malaise – that of joblessness among engineering graduates in Tamil Nadu with 3000-odd colleges turning out hundreds of thousands of degree holders year after year – the script plays goodsport. Performances do not lift the movie either".
Box office
The film was released in 30 screens in Chennai alone. Sreedhar Pillai stated that the film had made 100.6 million on its opening day in Tamil Nadu alone. The film collected approximately in Tamil Nadu in first weekend and over in ten days. The film collected a nett collection of worldwide in fourth week. The first weekend gross was 190.8 million.

Yi In-seong
|
Yi In-seong (Hangul: 이인성, hanja: 李仁星) is a South Korean modern novelist.
Life
Yi In-seong (this is the author's preferred Romanization, via LTI Korea) was born on December 9, 1953, in Chinhae Kyongsangnam-do, in Korea. His father, Lee Ki-baek is a leading South Korean historian. Yi was raised by a family of academics and as a teenager embraced aestheticism and began to work on his own writing. Yi graduated from Seoul National University with a BA in French Literature and an MA in French Literature. While at Seoul National University, Yi established the literary magazine Linguistic Explorations.
Yi In-Seong went on to become a professor at Hankook University of Foreign Studies.
Work
With a spirit of experimentation, Yi In-seong has consistently challenged the narrative grammar of realism and conventional assumptions regarding the relationship between the author, the text, and the reader. Into the Unfamiliar Time (Natseon sigan sogeuro, 1983), Yi In-seong's first novel, tells the familiar story of a young man's wanderings, but employs narrative techniques designed to defamiliarize the depicted reality, such as blending of tenses, fusion of fantasy and reality, and overlapping of time sequences. “The Tomb of the Years Past” (Geu seworui mudeom, 1987) and “Now He is in Front of Me” (Jigeum geuga nae apeseo) also employ some of these techniques to give shape to the inner consciousness of his characters. What Yi In-seong seeks to problematize is the perceived stability of the dichotomy between the performer and the spectator, the writer and the reader of the text, and ultimately the self and the other. In “About You” (Dangsine daehaeseo) and “My Statement for Your Interrogation” (Dangsinui simmune daehan naui jagi jinsul), the author plays with various personal pronouns in order to deconstruct the stability of separate identities. Through such experiments, Lee Inseong attempts to heighten readers’ consciousness and engage them more actively in the act of reading. Recognizing the violence implicit in language, these works dismantle established ways of reading and the habits of thought associated with such conventions.

W. D. Flackes
|
William David Flackes, OBE (14 March 1921 – 1 August 1993), better known as W. D. Flackes or Billy Flackes, was an Ulster journalist, broadcaster and author. He was the BBC Northern Ireland Political Correspondent between 1964 and 1982.
Eric Waugh in The Independent, referring to Flackes' reporting of The Troubles, said "When it began to come to the boil - in 1966 - Flackes at once displayed before the network audience a notable talent for the simple exposition, balanced yet necessarily brief, of what was a highly complex community problem."
Early life
Flackes was born in 1921 in Burt, where he was raised, a village and district in the south of Inishowen in the north of County Donegal in the north-west of Ulster, the northern province in Ireland. Before his career in journalism, Billy Flackes worked in the timber business in Belfast and as a telephone installer in Derry.
Career
Print Journalism
When he was 18, Billy Flackes ran a South Antrim weekly newspaper. During the Second World War he held staff jobs on various local newspapers in Northern Ireland. He worked for a number of local newspapers in the west of Ulster, including The Fermanagh News and The Derry Standard, before he joined the staff of The Ulster News Letter.
Between 1947 and 1957, he was a parliamentary reporter for the Press Association.
He joined The Belfast Telegraph in 1957, eventually becoming chief leader writer and news editor. He later wrote political commentary for Ulster Television (UTV) in Belfast.
Television
In the autumn of 1964, Billy Flackes became a political correspondent for the BBC in Belfast. Within a couple of years he would be reporting on the violent conflict involving Northern Ireland's republican and loyalist paramilitaries in what was later to become widely known as The Troubles, the primarily sectarian conflict in Northern Ireland with its historic roots in the constitutional status of Northern Ireland.
His East Donegal speaking style, characterised by the "staccato articulation" and clipped vowels common in Ulster, informed the audience as the Northern Irish crisis evolved over the next 16 years. Following his retirement from BBC Northern Ireland in 1982, he was nominated to the board of the Irish national broadcaster, RTÉ, in Dublin, serving until 1991.
Personal life
Flackes married Mary Dougan in 1950 and they had one daughter.
He was appointed as an OBE in 1981.
Following his death, he was buried in Lisburn in the south of County Antrim.
Writing
He wrote biographies of The 1st Viscount Brookeborough, the former Unionist Prime Minister of Northern Ireland, and Field Marshal The 1st Viscount Montgomery of Alamein, whose family also came from Inishowen. In 1980, he wrote Northern Ireland: A Political Directory.

First (Scots) Presbyterian Church
|
First (Scots) Presbyterian Church (locally known as "First Scots") is a historic church located at 53 Meeting St., Charleston, South Carolina. The congregation was established in 1731 when a dozen Scottish residents left the Independent Church of Charleston, now called the Circular Congregational Church.
History
The current building was constructed in 1814, making it the fifth oldest church building in the city.
The buildings design was inspired by Baltimore Basilica in Baltimore, Maryland.It contains a number of Scottish symbols in the stained glass windows and a symbol of Scotland – the thistle, on the wrought iron grilles. The building was built by Scottish brothers John and James Gordon. Their building replaced an earlier, wooden church, whose location is marked in the churchyard with tartan flags.
The church has two bell towers, but its bells were donated to the military during the Civil War. For years after, the story was told that the bells were never replaced to honor the Confederate dead. In 1999, a bell, built in 1814, was reinstalled in the northern tower. St. Johns Church in Preston, Lancashire, England, had had eight bells in its own historic church, but no longer needed them when a replacement set was acquired. One bell had been damaged, but seven were passed to a British bell company. First Scots made plans to bring the seven working bells to Charleston and hang them in their towers. The southern tower, however, was found to be too weakened from the 1886 Charleston earthquake to support the six smaller bells. Still, the largest of the bells from St. Johns was hung in the northern tower. The bell - which weighs 1,470 pounds and is 43 inches in diameter, was funded in large part by congregant Bonnie Workman; the bell is named "Bonnie" in her honor.

Abrahel

Abrahel is a succubus described by Nicholas Rémy in his work Daemonolatreiae libri tres.
Rémy's story
According to Rémy, Abrahel appeared in 1581 in the village of Dalhem, seduced a man called Pierron and tricked him to kill his own son. After the murder, Pierron regretted what he had done and implored the demon to give life back to his son; the succubus consented but in exchange, demanded the man worship it. When the man's son came back from the dead, he wasn't as intelligent as before; he was also skinnier and slower. A mere year later the young died again, and a nauseating smell started to emanate from the corpse. The father buried the cadaver without hold a funeral.
