Prevotella albensis
|
Prevotella albensis, previously known as Bacteroides ruminicola subsp. ruminicola, is a species of bacterium.
Prevotella species are part of the human oral and vaginal flora. They play a role in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease, gingivitis, extraoral and some odontogenic infections, and strains are usually carried in families, in so-called intrafamilial carriage. It is also associated with carotid atherosclerosis.

1928 Palestine Cup
|
The 1928 People's Cup (, Gvia HaAm) was the first season of Israeli Football Association's nationwide football cup competition. Matches began on 7 April 1928 and the final was played on 26 May 1928.
Hapoel Allenby Tel Aviv won the cup, beating Maccabi Hasmonean Jerusalem 2–0 in the final. However, the Jerusalem club appealed to the F.A., claiming that a Hapoel player, Moshe Meir was not registered. The appeal was accepted and the teams were ordered to share the cup.
Background
Starting in 1922, unofficial cup competitions were held in Mandatory Palestine on an annual, national basis under the sponsorship of Britain's military garrison there, at start involving British teams only, but in subsequent years, Arab and Jewish teams as well. As these cups pre-date the existence of a national football association, they are not considered official by the Israel Football Association. During this time there was also a national cup organised by the Maccabi organisation, the Magen Shimshon, but this only included Maccabi clubs.
Results
First round
The matches were played on 7 April 1928 and 14 April 1928.
Quarter-finals
The matches were played on 21 April 1928 and 28 April 1928. The Replay between Hapoel Haifa and British Police was played on 5 May 1928.

Pier 35 (San Francisco)
|
Pier 35 is a pier in The Embarcadero, San Francisco, USA, just to the east of Pier 39.
Background
Pier 35 served as San Francisco's primary major cruise ship terminal for eight decades, servicing several cruise operators including the Grace Line, Matson Line, Pacific Far East Line, and Princess Cruises, whose ships Star Princess, Sapphire Princess, and Sea Princess made regular stops at the pier throughout the year.
The bulkhead wharf and pier substructure were built in 1914, and the bulkhead building and transit shed were built in 1915-1916. It was rebuilt by the State Board of Harbor Commissioners and dedicated as the new San Francisco terminal for the Grace Line on October 19, 1933. , one of the line's large new liners, was present and the first of the big new intercoastal liners to use the pier. The rebuilt pier was designed to expedite cargo and passenger passage from ship to destination. Large, comfortable rooms were located on the elevated gallery for passengers and friends for boarding and debarking. The manager for Grace in San Francisco estimated the new facility would handle 12,000 passengers, 60,000 visitors and 300,000 tons of cargo during the next year.
In 1981, major changes were made to the east aisle of the interior of the transit shed, including the addition of new offices, waiting rooms, an escalator, and a staircase, and alterations to the mezzanine gallery.
On New Year's Eve 2009, a stabbing incident took place on the pier.
Current usage
Since the opening of the James R. Herman Cruise Terminal at Pier 27 in 2014, Pier 35 has been used as a backup facility for cruise ship operations. The pier's transit shed has been converted for use as a rentable event space.
In 2020, the historic Liberty ship SS Jeremiah O'Brien was temporarily moved to Pier 35 following a fire which damaged its previous home at Pier 45. The Jeremiah O'Brien relocation was made permanent in 2023 when the nonprofit organization responsible for the ship signed a long-term lease with the Port of San Francisco.

Miles de Cogan
|
Milo de Cogan (fl. 1170–1182) was an Anglo-Norman knight from Glamorgan who played a significant role in the Norman conquest of Ireland under Richard de Clare, 2nd Earl of Pembroke; a man better known to Irish history as Strongbow.
Origins
The family took its name from the manor of Cogan, in Glamorgan, Wales, now a suburb of Penarth, 4.5 miles (7.2 km) south west of Cardiff. He was a nephew of Robert FitzStephen and Maurice FitzGerald. The Liber Niger Scutarii of 1166 recorded Milo as holding Cogan as two knight's fees, under the overlordship of William Fitz Robert, 2nd Earl of Gloucester (d.1183).
This family is believed to trace back to the original viking settlers of Normandy.
Career
In August of 1170, Milo joined his uncles in sailing to Ireland with Strongbow. Less than a month later, he led one of two bands in an assault on Dublin, his cousin, Raymond FitzGerald having led the other. These bands sacked the city and slaughtered many of its inhabitants. Milo was afterward made constable of the settlement.
In 1171, the king of Dublin, Ascall mac Ragnaill, who had successfully fled, returned with 60 ships and assaulted the city. Milo boldly sallied out to meet them, but was quickly driven back. His brother, Richard, however, had remained hidden behind the attackers and fell upon them from the rear, causing a panic which allowed most of them to be killed, while some fled. Ascall was captured and beheaded on Milo's order, having threatened to return if he were ransomed.
Shortly thereafter, Dublin was again besieged, this time by Ruaidrí Ua Conchobair, who brought 30,000 men to this end. Milo led one of three small contingents in a sally outside the castle walls, defeating the besiegers against all odds.
Another siege was laid in 1172, led by Tigernán Ua Ruairc, which Milo ably defeated, once again sallying out to surprise and rout the attackers. Later that year, Milo took part in the capture of Limerick and was given command of its garrison.
Thereafter, he spent two years fighting in England and France, under the banner of Henry II, together with Robert FitzStephen. In 1177, the two of them were granted, the Kingdom of Cork, to be held by the feudal tenure of 60 knight's fees.
Marriage and children
He married Christiana Paynel, a daughter of Fulk Paynel II (c. 1118 - c. 1208), feudal baron of Bampton, Devon. His children included:
William de Cogan, his heir as tenant of Cogan, who at some time before 1182 witnessed three charters of Margam Abbey, Glamorgan. He was appointed constable of Neath Castle, Glamorgan, at some time after 1184.
Another possible relative was John de Cogan, who granted land in Penarth to St Augustine's Abbey in Bristol.
Death
According to his cousin, Gerald of Wales, Milo de Cogan and Robert FitzStephen, along with one of FitzStephen's sons, Ralph, who was also Milo's son in law, were en route from Desmond to Lismore in 1182, to negotiate with the people of Waterford, when a certain Mac Tyre, who had invited them to lodge with him, crept up behind them with a few men and murdered them with long axes.
Irish accounts relay that in fact, Milo and FitzStephen were marching to attack Waterford when Mac Tyre, king of Uí Meic Caille, slaughtered them and their host, possibly including Raymond FitzGerald and another of FitzStephen's sons. Gerald's text warns his readers of an alleged habit of the Irish in spreading plainly false rumours concerning the deaths of their enemies.
Later succession
The succession can be traced through the history of the Feudal barony of Bampton.
Richard de Cogan (thought to have been the son of William de Cogan, son of Miles), in 1207 received large grants of land in Ireland. The descent from him was as follows:
John I de Cogan (died 1278). In the extent made in 1262 he was recorded as holding two fees in Cogan, valued at £10. In 1267, he obtained the feudal barony of Bampton in Devon, surrendered to him after the death of Edmund of Lancaster (died 1296), who had taken it into his wardship following the death of Auda Paynel (died 1261), wife of John II de Ballon (died 1275) of Much Marcle, Herefordshire, and heiress of the Paynel barony of Bampton. The Devon historian Tristram Risdon (died 1640) stated that at Bampton the Cogans "had...a very stately house and kept great entertainment when they lived here, and having greater possessions in Ireland for the most part dwelt there".
John II de Cogan. (son). He received livery of his inheritance in 1280/81 and was still alive in 1320 when recorded as a tenant in the survey made in that year by Hugh Despencer, Lord of Glamorgan.
(a later descendant) Richard de Cogan (died 1368/69)
John III de Cogan (died 1389), only son and last in the male line. His heir to his lands in Ireland, Devon and Somerset was his sister Elizabeth.
Descendants of collateral lines of this family eventually adopted the names of Gogan and Goggin, which name is common in Ireland today.

Saranya Ponvannan was cast as the hero's mother and she also sang a folk number for the film. Vijay Vasanth trained with Koothu-P-Pattarai and also learned certain kinds of fights for his role.
The shooting started on 12 December 2012 and the first look poster was released on the same day. The climax action sequences were being shot in an unopened shopping mall in Chennai in March 2013.
Soundtrack
The music was composed by Premgi Amaren. The audio launch of Ennamo Nadakkudhu happened in Chennai on 16 December 2013.
Critical reception
The film received overall positive reviews. The Times of India gave 3.5 stars out of 5 and wrote, "There is a lot to like in Yennamo Nadakkudhu and first and foremost among these is the script. The film is tautly written with one scene leading into another or informing the other so that there is hardly a wasted moment. Generally, thrillers tend to lose some bit of the tension after the revelation but this film manages to keep you on the edge of the seat till its climax and it is certainly its biggest triumph. Yennamo Nadakkudhu is the surprise of the season". Sify wrote, "Ennamo Nadakkuthu is a racy edge of the seat thriller with lots of twists and turns, till the very end. The film works due to its speed, earthy dialogues, performances from its actors and a cracker of a climax". The New Indian Express wrote, "With an intriguing screenplay and with enough twists and turns to keep up the momentum, the film is a racy, riveting action-suspense thriller. Ennamo Nadakkuthu is an impressive work from a debutant maker". Behindwoods.com gave 2.5 stars and wrote, "The ups, downs, twists and turns in the script make the movie interesting to watch and takes it to a pacy finale that might make the audience forget that their seats have push backs. The director has placed some of the leads pretty neatly in the initial portions of the script and the unwinding of those leads in the climax sequence shout out the subtle brilliance in the scripting. Although the movie has a few pinches of cinematic elements here and there, the perfection in the script and the flawlessness in the execution allows the movie to take a step up". Indiaglitz.com wrote, "Ennamo Nadakkudhu is a good relief from usual masala with a practical concept told with a high quality of cinematic touch, and makes for a good watch".
The Hindu was more critical of the film, writing, "it would have been all very well had Vijay [Vasanth] used just brains and got the job done, the plot might have worked and made it a neat film. But the minute we see him jumping off buildings and dodging goondas in hot pursuit, you are tempted to ask — Oh really?"

Inna Zhelannaya
|
Inna Yurievna Zhelannaya (, February 20, 1965, Moscow) is a Russian singer-songwriter, best known as a frontwoman of the folk band Farlanders (1994-2004).
Biography
Inna Zhelannaya was born in Moscow and spent her childhood years in Zelenograd, where she studied at a musical school and sang in a choir led by her mother, Alla Yosifovna. After the graduation she joined the musical college in Elista, Kalmykia, then returned to Moscow to continue her education. As a student, she got interested in rock music and started writing her own songs.
Career
In 1985, Zhelannaya formed her first band, Focus, with Eduard Vokhmyanin. Two years later she became the leader of her own group, M-Depo. In 1989, Zhelannaya joined the well-known Moscow band Alliance and started collaborating with author and multi-instrumentalist Sergey Starostin, who introduced her to the Russian musical folklore and soon also joined the band.
Alliance's album Sdelano v Belom (Made in White) was released in 1991 and won the Radio France International's Best East-European album award two years later. In 1994 the band travelled to France to take part in the concert for the Radio, but without the singer, as Inna Zhelannaya had left in 1992 to give birth to her child.
In 1994 she re-emerged with her own band, Farlanders, joined by ex-Alliance members Sergey Kalachyov (bass), Sergey Klevensky (clarinet) and Sergey Starostin. In 1995 they released the album Vodorosl (Seeweed). The song Tolko s Toboy (With You Only) was included in the Putumayo World Music compilation (featuring also Peter Gabriel, Gipsy Kings, Bob Marley, Johnny Clegg among others) which led to Farlanders’ traveling to the USA when they toured the East Coast, starting in Washington DC. The tour's high point was the band’s performance at the 1996 Summer Olympics' opening ceremony.
Inozemets (Foreigner, 1998) CD, recorded in the Netherlands and released by Moscow GreenWave Records, came out in the USA under the title Inna and the Farlanders. Later that year the band played at the WOMEX (Worldwide Music Expo) forum in Stockholm. Live album Moments, recorded in Bremen, Germany, came out in 2000 on GreenWave.
In 2001 the German Jaro Medien record label released Winter in Moscow CD, recorded in the early 1990s by Zhelannaya, Starostin and Norvegian singer Mari Boine. It was followed by Tantsy Teney (Shadows' Dances, 2001), an acoustic set of songs written by Sergey Kalachyov based on Inna's lyrics. Another studio album Vymysly (Fairytales) featuring Russian folk songs came out in January 2004 on GreenWave. Farlanders' jubilee 2004 concert celebrating the band's 10 years career (it was released on DVD in 2006, as Инна Жаланная и Farlanders) proved to be their last: the band broke up to reunite just once, on April 2, 2005, to perform at the Goldenmask theater festival, with Trey Gunn, whom Inna played with in 2004.
Gunn also played on three songs of Inna Zhelannaya's Kokon (The Cocoon, 2008) CD. Before that in 2006 the singer joined the band Malerия to record the album 77RUS which came out in June of that year.
In 2013, Inna Zhelannaya started working with a new band featuring Sergey 'Grebstel' Kalachov (bass), Oleg Maryakhin (saxophone, electronics), Dmitry Frolov (drums) and Vladimir Goubatov (sound engineer, referred to as a band member), her new songs combining elements of folk, progressive rock, jazz, trance, electronic, and psychedelia. Zhelannaya's double album Izvorot (The Bending) came out in October 2014, to some critical acclaim. "It's as if King Crimson would have approached the traditional musical folklore rooted out of the deepest Russian backwood," a Russian Rolling Stone reviewer opined.
On 18 May 2017 Zhelannaya and Kalachov (now, drums and arrangements) presented their new art and music project called VILY (ВИЛЫ, Fairies, see Vila (fairy)), featuring three more modern folk female singers, Margarita Kozheurova, Svetlana Lobanova and Alyona Lifshits.

1929 Palestine Cup
|
The 1929 Palestine Cup (, HaGavi'a HaEretz-Israeli) was the second season of Israeli Football Association's nationwide football cup competition. The joint-winners of the previous competition were Hapoel Tel Aviv and Maccabi Hasmonean Jerusalem.
Maccabi Tel Aviv won the cup, beating Maccabi Hasmonean Jerusalem 4–0 in the final, which was held on Maccabi Petah Tikva ground.
For the first (and penultimate) time, teams were allowed to enter reserve teams into the competition. However, only Maccabi Tel Aviv took advantage of this, and its B "Nordia" team reached the quarter-finals, before falling to Maccabi Zikhron Ya'akov after a replay.
Results
First round
The draw for the first and the second rounds was held in mid-November 1928. The matches were supposed to be played on 1 December 1928, however, the match between Maccabi Tel Aviv and PGH was postponed to 15 December 1928, and was played on Hapoel Tel Aviv ground.
Second round
Second round matches started on 5 January 1929 with Maccabi Tel Aviv narrowly beating a Royal Air Force team of the 14th squadron, stationed in Amman and the previous year's cup final winner (and cup joint-holders) Hapoel Tel Aviv surprisingly losing to a British military team from the Royal Corps of Signals, stationed in Sarafand in Extra time. Hapoel Tel Aviv appealed the result, claiming that according to the competition rules the match shouldn't have gone to extra time, but to a replay, however, the appeal was rejected and Hapoel's elimination was confirmed. The tie between the Arab team St. George and Maccabi Petah Tikva went to a replay after a 3–3 draw in Petah Tikva. In Jerusalem the Arab team won 2–1 and progressed to the quarter-finals.
Replay
Quarter-finals
Matches were played on 2 February 1929, except for the match between Hapoel Haifa and Wireless Sarafand, which was postponed due to weather conditions and was played on 16 February 1929. The match between Maccabi "Nordia" Tel Aviv and Maccabi Zikhron Ya'akov went into a replay, which was played on 16 February 1929. The match was abandoned at the 65th minute due to the waterlogged pitch, with Maccabi Zikhron Ya'akov leading 2–1, and the result was confirmed as final.

Lee Hall Depot
|
Lee Hall Depot is a historic train station and museum located in the Lee Hall neighborhood of Newport News, Virginia. It was built in about 1881, with a one-story cargo bay, and the two-story main section was added in 1893. Another one-story wing was added by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway to the north end of the depot in 1918 to handle an influx of military personnel to Fort Eustis. The building is currently in use as a local history museum, focusing on the station's history, and the history of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad in Warwick County.
History
Station use
Lee Hall Depot was built around 1881 as a part of the Peninsula Extension of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, being the most Western part of the Warwick County region of the expansion. It connected the Warwick Courthouse with the stations at Williamsburg and Yorktown, along with other stations on the peninsula. On October 19, 1881, the first passenger train to depart from Newport News left the station and arrived at Yorktown for the ‘Cornwallis Surrender Centennial Celebration”, a commemoration of the British defeat at the Battle of Yorktown, via temporary track. After this, it was mostly used to ship agricultural products from nearby farms. The two-story midsection was added in 1893.
A large waiting room was added in 1918 to help deal with an increase in soldiers, other military personnel, and supplies being shipped out from and taken to the nearby Camp Abraham Eustis, now Fort Eustis, giving the building its current two-story midsection and pair of wings. The ticket office was heavily remodeled in 1932. To help supplement the cargo bay, which was overflowing due to supplies being shipped in and out for the war effort, a storage shed (now demolished) was built in 1943.
The office used by the station's Railway Express Agent was removed between 1955 and 1956, and after that the depot was used for passenger service by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad until Amtrak took over service on May 1, 1971. Amtrak resumed service to Lee Hall, albeit as a request stop, with the Colonial on October 30, 1977. Starting in 1978, the waiting room was leased to the 'Peninsula Model Railroad Club' to house their N scale model railway.
In 1981, to celebrate the centenary of the peninsular extension, the depot was renovated and some celebrations took place there on October 16, 1981. Among the festivities at the depot were the unveiling of a large oil painting created by Sidney King of the first trip from Lee Hall to Yorktown, Chesapeake and Ohio 614 and an Amtrak locomotive both giving brief train rides, ending at the station, and two "Silver Spike" reenactments by CSX and Virginia officials. The event was attended by Virginia's governor, John N. Dalton, the then President of CSX, Hays T. Watkins, French dignitaries, and the Member of the U.S. House of Representatives for Virginia's 1st district, Paul Trible.
Lee Hall was dropped from the Colonial, now renamed to New England Express, in April 1995, after which, the building was used as a railcar maintenance facility. The Lee Hall Train Station Foundation was founded in 2000 to help preserve the building; due to this, the Peninsula Model Railroad Club moved out of the building in 2001.
Restoration
A $3 million grant was awarded to Newport News to restore the building in 2005, of which $600,000 was used to restore the outside of the building.
Relocation
In 2009, Lee Hall Depot was moved 165 feet from its original location to the opposite side of the tracks to meet 1993 requirements that had to be met to prevent the depot from being demolished by the CSX Railroad. The process involved carefully splitting the building into two sections, one being the waiting room wing, and the other the cargo bay and mid-section, and then joining them together on a new foundation. The process was undertaken by PMA Designs, Expert House Movers, and the City of Newport News at a cost of $900,000.
Completion
The Lee Hall Depot was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in November, 2010 during its restoration. The exterior renovations were completed in 2014. In September 2015, the Lee Hall Train Station Foundation received a $600,000 federal grant to pay for the building's interior refurbishment. The museum had a soft opening in June 2021, but officially opened in July of that year.
Architecture
The Lee Hall Depot was built in stages, to a standardized design used for all Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad freight houses. Its construction began sometime in 1881. The initial building was a simple one-story freight depot building measuring by , with five double sliding doors along the freight platform. In 1893 a two-story section with a trackside pentagonal facade was added to the building. It had an office for the operator, a baggage room, and space for the Railway Express Agency. The upstairs section contained a four-room living accommodation for the stationmaster. The wood frame depot and addition were detailed using Stick style applied elements. A more ambitious design for the 1918 additions included substantial Stick style detailing of overhangs and surfaces, but was built with more restraint. The 1918 section included a ticket office situated between separate waiting rooms; one for white passengers, and a smaller one for "colored" passengers. This section's interior was finished in beaded wood paneling. The operator's bay had an indoor water well, which was accessible through a trapdoor in the floor.
Collection, displays, and exhibits
Caboose
In June 2018, the Lee Hall Train Station Foundation was donated CSXT 900066, originally C&O 904144, a type-C27A bay-window caboose by the CSX for display. The caboose, which was built for the C&O by Fruit Growers Express at their Alexandria repair shop in 1980, had been in use as a shoving platform, a type of railroad car used when trains have to reverse for a long period of time, as a place at the "front" for the switcher crew to stand, but was decommissioned after it was discovered to have a brake defect, and slated to be scrapped. After being contacted by the Lee Hall Train Station Foundation, and initially turning them down, CSX decided to donate the caboose to the museum.
After the donation, the car was moved to the U.S. Army Transportation Museum and restored by a large group of volunteers at a cost of $18,262. It was then donated to the City of Newport News, due to the fact that the foundation could not afford the $5 million liability insurance required to have the caboose moved by rail. The caboose was delivered to the depot by the Fort Eustis Military Railroad, and placed on a piece of display track, originally a siding for the station, by crane on May 19, 2022. The caboose is currently open for tours on Saturdays and during special events.
Hospital Car
The Lee Hall Train Station Foundation is currently restoring an hospital car built in 1944 used at the nearby Fort Eustis during World War II; the car was formerly owned by the U.S. Army Transportation Museum. Once the restoration is completed, the car will be moved to the museum grounds and put on display on the exhibition track next to the caboose.
Model Trains
The cargo bay contains a large collection of model trains, of which most are in O gauge. The collection is kept in several large display cases, which also contain plaques and signs. The collection was donated to the museum by former Lee Hall Train Station Foundation president, Milton "Ed" Lyon.
Stationmaster's quarters
Lee Hall is unique among railway stations in that the second story of its main body was where the stationmaster would live, along with his family if he had one; stationmasters were often bachelors. It housed a parlor, kitchen, and bedroom. These rooms have been recreated as so to give an idea of what these rooms might have looked like during the interwar period, along with interpretive signs attached to plastic barriers giving context as to what the rooms were and how they were used. Inside is period furniture, cookware, toys, décor, clothes, and other objects, along with C&O memorabilia, which is also of the time. The only pieces original to the station are the porcelain sink and water heater.
This space is often fitted out to house other temporary and smaller exhibits.
Simulator
The Lee Hall Depot owns a wooden "replica" of a C&O diesel locomotive cab that is used to simulate driving a modern-day locomotive. It uses a locomotive control stand taken from an actual engine, with the switches and levers connected to a computer system attached to the back of the simulator. The brake valves were donated by Multi-Service Supply Inc. of Pennsylvania. A TV screen stands in as the front window and plays footage of a train journey from Williamsburg to Newport News. This simulator was built by museum volunteers.
Chessie’s Place
“Chessie’s Place” is the children's area of the museum, focusing on Chessie, the mascot of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad. It contains toy and model trains, informational signs and pamphlets, a wooden toy train table, musical instruments, story books, arts and crafts, and other activities.

Avala Hejje () is a 1981 Indian Kannada-language film, directed by H. R. Bhargava, starring Dr. Vishnuvardhan, Lakshmi, Dr. Ambrish and Dwarakish. This film is partially based on the 1978 Bollywood film Trishna which itself was remade from Tamil film Thoondil Meen. It was remade in Telugu as Bandhalu Anubandhalu.

Lakshmi is now happily married to Vishnuvardhan, who is a neurosurgeon. In the absence of Vishnuvardhan, Ambareesh visits Lakshmi to threaten her. One day Lakshmi unintentionally fires the bullet from her husband's revolver to Ambareesh's forehead and he becomes unconscious. With the help of Dwarakish, Vishnuvardhan's assistant in Hospital, Lakshmi takes Ambareesh's body out of the city and drops it from a bridge, thinking he has died. Without knowing all these incidents, Vishnuvardhan returns to home and finds one of the bullets missing in the revolver, which is clarified by Lakshmi's arguments. Unknowingly, Ambareesh is admitted to Vishnu's hospital and he forgets all his past. Doctor Vishnu treats him and is determined to cure him. When Ambareesh recalls his past, he sees Vishnu, who will be his brother, who he lost in his childhood and recalls everything. The rest of the story is about how Vishnu and Ambareesh confront each other and solve the problems.

Gleneagles Hotel, Torquay
|
The Gleneagles Hotel was a hotel in Torquay, Devon, England. The 41-bed establishment, which opened in the 1960s, was the inspiration for Fawlty Towers, a British situation comedy first broadcast in the mid-1970s. John Cleese, and his then wife Connie Booth, were inspired to write the series after they had stayed at the hotel and witnessed the eccentric behaviour of its owner, Donald Sinclair (who sold the hotel in 1973). Later the hotel was managed by Best Western. In February 2015 the hotel closed. It has since been demolished and replaced by retirement apartments.
History
The Gleneagles was not originally built as a hotel but was modified to become one. The hotel was first opened in 1963 and was managed by Donald Sinclair. It was initially described as "upmarket" because it advertised private bathrooms in every room. In the early 1970s, cast members of Monty Python's Flying Circus stayed at the Gleneagles for a planned three weeks, while filming in Paignton. Due to Sinclair's rudeness towards them, which included criticising Terry Gilliam's "too American" table etiquette and tossing Eric Idle's briefcase out of a window "in case it contained a bomb", the cast left the hotel apart from John Cleese and his wife, Connie Booth. Cleese described Sinclair as "the most marvellously rude man I've ever met" and based his Basil Fawlty character on him when he and Booth created Fawlty Towers five years later. Sinclair sold the Gleneagles in 1973. For the rest of its existence, the hotel retained a reminder of Sinclair's legacy: the 41 rooms all had names such as Coral or Mimosa. This was introduced in the Sinclair era of Gleneagles.
In August 2003, developers submitted plans to demolish the hotel and build a block of flats on the site, claiming the building was "unattractive with little architectural merit". In October, Torbay Town Council rejected the application, claiming that it would be against its rules of tourism. In September 2006, Prunella Scales, who played Sybil Fawlty, was "guest of honour" at the reopening of the hotel after a £1 million makeover. The hotel was a part of the Best Western hotel chain.
After the hotel was closed permanently in February 2015, permission was given in November 2015 to demolish the hotel and replace it with retirement apartments, to be built by Churchill Retirement Living.
The development was named Sachs Lodge in memory of Andrew Sachs who played Manuel in the sitcom and who died in 2016.
In popular culture
The Gleneagles Hotel is mentioned in "The Builders" episode of Fawlty Towers as a suggestion for alternative dinner arrangements for the guests while Fawlty Towers was undergoing renovations.

Klaus Quaet-Faslem
|
Klaus Quaet-Faslem (5 September 1913 – 30 January 1944) was a Luftwaffe ace and recipient of the Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross during World War II. The Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross was awarded to recognise extreme battlefield bravery or successful military leadership. On 30 January 1944 he was killed in a flying accident due to bad weather. He was posthumously awarded the Knight's Cross on 9 June 1944. During his career he was credited with 49 aerial victories.
Career
On 20 October 1940, Quaet-Faslem was transferred from Jagdfliegerschule 1 (1st fighter pilot school) at Werneuchen to III. Gruppe (3rd group) of Jagdgeschwader 53 (JG 53—53rd Fighter Wing) where he assumed the position of adjutant. At the time, III. Gruppe was commanded by Hauptmann Wolf-Dietrich Wilcke.
Operation Barbarossa
In preparation of Operation Barbarossa, the German invasion of the Soviet Union, JG 53 arrived in Mannheim-Sandhofen on 8 June 1941 where the aircraft were given a maintenance overhaul. On 12 June, the Geschwader began its relocation east, with III. Gruppe moving to Suwałki in northeastern Poland. Two days later, III. Gruppe transferred to a forward airfield at Sobolewo.
On 21 November 1941, Quaet-Faslem was appointed Staffelkapitän (squadron leader) of 2. Staffel of JG 53, succeeding Oberleutnant Ignaz Prestele who was transferred.
On 19 August 1942, Quaet-Faslem was transferred and was succeeded by Leutant Walter Zellot as commander of 2. Staffel of JG 53. On 31 August, he took command of I. Gruppe of Jagdgeschwader 3 "Udet" (JG 3—3rd Fighter Wing), succeeding Hauptmann Georg Michalek.
On 17 August 1943 during the Schweinfurt-Regensburg mission, Quaet-Faslem claimed his 48th aerial victory when he shot down a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress bomber.
On 30 January 1944, Quaet-Faslem was killed in a flying accident when his Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-6 (Werknummer 15243—factory number) crashed in bad weather at Langeleben near Helmstedt. Following his death, Hauptmann Joachim von Wehren temporarily assumed command of the Gruppe before Hauptmann Josef Haiböck officially took command on 8 February. His grave is located on the cemetery Mönchengladbach-Holt, next to the grave of Wolf-Dietrich Wilcke.
Summary of military career
Aerial victory claims
According to Obermaier, Quaet-Faslem was credited with 49 aerial victories, of which 41 were claimed on the Eastern Front, one over Poland and seven over the Western Allies, including two four-engine heavy bombers. Mathews and Foreman, authors of Luftwaffe Aces — Biographies and Victory Claims, researched the German Federal Archives and found records for 49 aerial victory claims, plus one further unconfirmed claim. This figure includes 42 aerial victories on the Eastern Front and seven on the Western Front, including two four-engine heavy bombers and one de Havilland Mosquito fighter bomber.
Victory claims were logged to a map-reference (PQ = Planquadrat), for example "PQ 4939". The Luftwaffe grid map () covered all of Europe, western Russia and North Africa and was composed of rectangles measuring 15 minutes of latitude by 30 minutes of longitude, an area of about . These sectors were then subdivided into 36 smaller units to give a location area in size.

Ludwig Finscher

Ludwig Finscher (14 March 193030 June 2020) was a German musicologist. He was a professor of music history at the University of Heidelberg from 1981 to 1995 and editor of the encyclopedia Die Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart. He is respected internationally as an authority on the history of Western Classical music from the 16th century to contemporary classical music, with a view on music in cultural, social, historical and philosophical context, in a clear language for both specialists and lay readers.
Life and career
Born in Kassel, the youngest of five siblings, Finscher studied musicology, English, German and philosophy at the University of Göttingen from 1949 to 1954. Students at the same time included Gerhard Croll, Carl Dahlhaus and Rudolf Stephan. He earned a doctorate with a thesis about the masses and motets by Loyset Compère, with advisor Rudolf Gerber. From 1954, he worked for the Deutsches Volksliedarchiv (German archive of folk songs) in Freiburg im Breisgau. He returned to Göttingen in 1955, working as a freelance journalist and music critic. He became a scientific assistant to Walter Wiora in 1960, first at the University of Kiel and from 1965 at the University of Saarbrücken. In 1967 he obtained his habilitation in Saarbrücken with the work Das klassische Streichquartett und seine Grundlegung durch Joseph Haydn (The classical string quartet and its foundation by Joseph Haydn). From 1968 to 1981, he held a chair for musicology at the University of Frankfurt, and from 1981 until his retirement in 1995 the same position at the University of Heidelberg.
Finscher was president of the Gesellschaft für Musikforschung (Society for music research) from 1974 to 1977 and the International Musicological Society from 1977 to 1981.
He died in Wolfenbüttel on 30 June 2020 at the age of 90.
Research work
One of Finscher's most important accomplishments was his editing, beginning in 1994, of the new edition of the encyclopaedia Die Musik in Geschichte und Gegenwart in 28 volumes, for which he wrote or updated some 40 articles. His extensive works on string quartets, chamber music and Joseph Haydn are regarded as musicological standards, as is the two-volume Music of the 15th and 16th centuries.
Finscher contributed to the complete editions of the works of Christoph Willibald Gluck, W. A. Mozart, and Paul Hindemith. He was also co-editor of the Capellae Apostolicae Sixtinaeque Collectanea Acta Monumenta. He published over 130 articles in anthologies and journals, aiming for simple wording accessible to lay readers as well as specialists.
His approach was described by the Balzan Foundation:

Miami Pop Festival (album)
|
Miami Pop Festival is a posthumous live album by the Jimi Hendrix Experience, documenting their May 18, 1968 performance at the Pop & Underground Festival in Hallandale, Florida. It features eight songs recorded during their evening performance, along with two extra songs.
The album was released on November 5, 2013, in conjunction with the Jimi Hendrix video documentary, Hear My Train A Comin'. "Fire" and "Foxey Lady", recorded during the afternoon-show, were also released as a stereo 45 rpm single. The album reached number 39 on the US Billboard 200 album chart and number 120 on the Belgian (Walloon) chart.
Critical reception
In a review for AllMusic, Mark Demming gave the album three and a half out of five stars and writes "the recording is clean and full of detail ... and the Experience sound quite good ... but it doesn't cast much new light on his music or his performance style, making for a good but not a great live release."
Track listing
Hendrix wrote all of the songs, except where noted.

Bibi Ferreira

Abigail Izquierdo Ferreira (1 June 1922 – 13 February 2019), known as Bibi Ferreira, was a Brazilian actress, singer, and director. In a career spanning more than 75 years, Ferreira directed and performed in numerous theatrical productions and was recognized as one of the great divas of Brazilian music.
Early life
Ferreira was born in Rio de Janeiro, the daughter of stage actor Procópio Ferreira and Argentine dancer Aida Izquierdo, born in Buenos Aires. Her paternal grandparents came from Madeira Island, Portugal; her maternal grandparents, Antonio Izquierdo and Irma Queirola, were from Spain. She learned dance at Teatro Municipal in Rio de Janeiro.
Career
Her father invited his daughter to join his company. She made her stage debut performing La Locandiera at Teatro Serrador in Rio de Janeiro, on 28 February 1941. She formed her own company three years later. During this period, she began hosting several talk and variety television shows, giving new artists and playwrights the opportunity to present their work.
In 1962, she was cast in the Brazilian production of My Fair Lady, which set a Brazilian record for its -year run. She then played leads in Hello Dolly and Man of La Mancha. In the 1970s, she began directing her own productions. Ferreira began performing in a musical about Édith Piaf in 1983, and toured the show through Europe.
Ferreira was a prominent figure in the Brazilian entertainment industry. Her protégé, singer Maria Bethânia, said of Ferreira, "Everything she does has helped Brazil with its identity." The French Government awarded her the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 1985. In 2016, Ferreira appeared in "Bibi Times Four", a one-woman show at Symphony Space in New York City.
Later life and death
In 1968, Ferreira married Paulo Pontes, a playwright. In 1970, she performed in Gota D'Agua, a play Pontes wrote. Pontes died in 1976. Ferreira died in Rio de Janeiro on February 13, 2019, from a cardiac arrest.

Recitation (horse)
|
Recitation (foaled 20 February 1978) was an American-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. He was one of the best European two-year-olds of 1980, when he won the Coventry Stakes by five lengths and the Grand Critérium in France. In the following year he won the Poule d'Essai des Poulains, but was beaten in his last three starts. In all, he recorded five wins and five placings in a career of thirteen races. He was retired to become a breeding stallion in Kentucky, but had little success as a sire of winners.
Background
Recitation was a "big, well-made" bay horse with a white blaze and two white socks bred in Ohio by Marvin Warner Sr. He was from the first crop of foals sired by the 1976 Preakness Stakes winner Elocutionist. Recitation's dam Irish Party won nine races and became a successful broodmare: her other descendants include the Breeders' Cup Classic winner Volponi.
As a yearling, the colt was offered for sale and bought for $35,000. He entered the ownership of Mr A. Bodie and was sent to Europe where he was trained by Guy Harwood at Pulborough in West Sussex. At the time, Harwood was noted for his modern approach to training, introducing Britain to features such as artificial gallops and barn-style stabling.
Racing career
1980: two-year-old season
After finishing third over five furlongs on his racecourse debut, Recitation won a maiden race over the same distance at Newbury Racecourse, beating I'll See You by half a length. The colt was then moved up sharply in class for the Group Three Coventry Stakes over six furlongs at Royal Ascot in June in which he was ridden by Greville Starkey and started at odds of 11/1. In a performance which Timeform described as "a revelation", Recitation took the lead a quarter mile from the finish and drew clear of the field to win easily by five lengths from Motavato, Bel Bolide and Another Realm. The form of the race was subsequently boosted when the third and fourth placed horses won the Gimcrack Stakes and the Richmond Stakes respectively. In the July Stakes at Newmarket Racecourse Recitation started 2/5 favourite against two opponents, but was beaten two and a half lengths by Age Quod Agis.
After a break of two months, Recitation returned in the Westhampnett Stakes at Goodwood Racecourse in September. In a race run in thick fog, Recitation led until the final furlong, but was caught and beaten a neck by Clear Verdict. Later in the month he was moved up in distance for the Group Two Royal Lodge Stakes over one mile at Ascot. In a strong field Recitation finished second to the Seaton Delaval Stakes winner Robellino, with the Champagne Stakes winner Gielgud in third and Beldale Flutter in fourth. On 12 October, Recitation was sent to France to contest that country's most prestigious two-year-old race, the Group One Grand Critérium over 1600 metres at Longchamp Racecourse. He started a 14/1 outsider in a field of eleven, with the betting being headed by the Prix des Chênes winner Dunphy and the Critérium de Maisons-Laffitte winner Cresta Rider. Starkey restrained the colt at the back of the field and turned into the straight in ninth placed. Recitation was then switched to the outside and produced a strong late run to dispute the lead 200m from the finish and won by a short-head from the Irish-trained Critique. On his final appearance of the year, Recitation returned to England for the William Hill Futurity at Doncaster Racecourse. Running less than two weeks after his win in Paris, he finished fourth behind Beldale Flutter, Shergar and Sheer Grit.
1981: three-year-old season
Recitation began his three-year-old season in the Group Three 2000 Guineas Trial Stakes over seven furlongs at Salisbury Racecourse and won easily by two lengths from Tahoe and Dalby Mustang. With the Harwood stable relying on To-Agori-Mou in the 2000 Guineas, Recitation was sent to contest the French equivalent, the Poule d'Essai des Poulains at Longchamp on 26 April. Cresta Rider started favourite, with Recitation second choice in the betting on 2.4/1. Starkey settled the colt just behind the leaders before moving through on the inside to take the lead on the turn into the straight. He quickly went clear of the field and won easily by two and a half lengths from Redoubtable, with Cresta Rider in third. Recitation returned to France for the Prix du Jockey Club on 7 June at Chantilly Racecourse. He was never in contention and dead-heated for seventh place behind Bikala. The colt was brought back in distance for the Prix d'Ispahan at Longchamp on 4 July but showed no improvement, finishing sixth behind The Wonder. In Autumn he was brought back to seven furlongs for the Harroways Stakes and finished second to the four-year-old Belmont Bay.
Assessment
In 1980, the independent Timeform organisation gave Recitation a rating of 126, eight pounds below the top-rated juvenile Storm Bird. In the official International Classification he was rated six pounds below Storm Bird and was the joint-highest-rated two-year-old to race in France. In the following year he was rated 124 by Timeform, sixteen pounds below Shergar. The International Classification rated him the twelfth-best three-year-old colt in Europe.
Stud record
Recitation was retired from racing to become a breeding stallion at the Ashford Stud in Kentucky, starting at a fee of $40,000 a foal. He was later exported to stand as a stallion in Japan. He was not a success at stud, with his best winner being Country Recital who won the Grade III Chrysanthemum Handicap in 1986.

RV Song of the Whale
|
RV Song of the Whale is a research vessel owned by Marine Conservation Research International and operated by Marine Conservation Research Ltd. The 70-foot vessel was designed specifically to carry out research on cetaceans (and other marine fauna) using benign research techniques such as passive acoustic monitoring.
Description
Song of the Whale is a cutter-rigged steel-hulled research vessel commissioned by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) and built in 2004. The vessel was designed by Rogers Yacht Design of Lymington and built to Lloyd's Special Service Craft Rules for world-wide service - the first sailing vessel to meet those standards for 30 years. Ordered from Blondecell Ltd, the subcontracted steel hull was fabricated by Corus Steel and assembled by Riverside Fabrication at Falmouth, Cornwall. The addition of the composite superstructure and the full outfitting was carried out at Blondecell's facility at Cracknore Hard, Marchwood, Hampshire. The vessel cost £1.5 million.
The design minimises acoustic emissions to facilitate the benign research techniques favoured by her former owners IFAW and the engine-room is encased in a Faraday cage to contain electrical fields. The outfit of Song of the Whale includes the latest computerised recording and tracking devices to ensure that best and most advanced acoustic research can be carried out. To assist physical observation, there is a two-person crow's nest.
The new vessel was launched in St Katharine Docks, London, on 6 June 2004 by Pierce and Keely Brosnan.
Operation
Song of the Whale was formerly owned by IFAW until 14 March 2014 when the vessel was granted to Marine Conservation Research International of Kelvedon, UK. She is based at Ipswich and continues to carry out the research for which she designed, using benign techniques. She replaced a smaller vessel of the same name, a converted 46-foot luxury yacht, which had been in service for 17 years.
Song of the Whale carries out most of its research under sail to reduce the impact on the whales and other marine mammals being researched. The focus of projects is on their presence, distribution, movements and behaviour. Noise suppression is particularly important when assessing populations of whales as the researchers can listen to their sounds up to 20 miles away using hydrophone arrays, not relying solely on surface sightings. Research undertaken is focused on the conservation of threatened species and habitats and includes work on the problems of underwater noise, whales becoming entangled in fishing gear or in collisions with ships.

Ralph Merrifield
|
Ralph Merrifield (22 August 1913 – 9 January 1995) was an English museum curator and archaeologist. Described as "the father of London's modern archaeology", Merrifield was a specialist in the archaeology of both Roman London and magical practices, publishing six books on these subjects over the course of his life.
Merrifield began his career in 1930 as an assistant at Brighton Museum. In 1935 he gained an external degree in anthropology from the University of London. During the Second World War he served in the Royal Air Force. In 1950 he became assistant keeper of the Guildhall Museum in London. In 1956 he relocated to Accra to oversee the opening of the new National Museum of Ghana, before returning to work at the Guildhall Museum. He produced a synthesis of known material on the archaeology of Roman London, published as The Roman City of London in 1965.
He was appointed senior keeper of the new Museum of London on its establishment in 1976, and soon after was promoted to deputy director. He retired in 1978 but remained active, lecturing, and publishing The Archaeology of Ritual and Magic (1987) and further studies of Roman London. He was a keen supporter of the Standing Conference on London Archaeology, a body designed to monitor the impact that English Heritage was having on the city's archaeology, which he believed to be negative.
Biography
Early life: 1913–1949
Merrifield was born on 22 August 1913 in Temple Fortune, a suburb of north-west London that at the time was yet to be fully developed. His parents had married in 1912, and his father, Albert Merrifield, was a railway clerk, whereas his mother, Margaret, had "excellent qualifications and was experienced as a primary school teacher". About a year after his birth the family moved to Southend-on-Sea, Essex, where his father died aged 36 on 6 May 1916: Merrifield was then three months short of his third birthday. His mother then moved with him to Brighton, Sussex, on the south coast of England, where they lived with her parents above a shoe shop run by her father.
Merrifield's education began at Pelham Street Council School in Brighton, where "a report issued on 29 September 1922, when he was nine years old, [used] the phrase 'top boy' twice in connection with his scholarly progress." He undertook his secondary education at the Municipal Secondary School for Boys on York Place in Brighton, and it was while studying there, in 1930, that he became an assistant to H. S. Toms, curator of Brighton Museum and former assistant to the archaeologist Augustus Pitt Rivers. Inspired by the museum's ethnographic collection, which he helped catalogue, Merrifield embarked on a University of London external degree, which he completed in 1935; although its main focus was on anthropology, taking the degree also allowed him to take an intermediate course in botany. It was at this time that he developed a keen interest in the archaeological evidence for religion and magical practices.
In 1940, during the Second World War, Merrifield was conscripted into the Royal Air Force, and in 1943 was transferred to its intelligence division, specialising in the interpretation of aerial photographs. He was posted to India and then Java. In 1945, after the conflict ended, he returned to work at Brighton Museum.
The Guildhall Museum and the National Museum of Ghana: 1950–1974
In 1950 Merrifield took a post as assistant keeper of the Guildhall Museum in London, a job that he would retain until 1975. At the time the museum lacked premises, and Merrifield assisted its keeper, Norman Cook, in establishing an exhibit at the Royal Exchange in 1954. During these post-war years the city's archaeological community was largely preoccupied with salvaging Roman and medieval structures damaged in the Blitz, and by subsequent urban redevelopment.
In November 1956 Merrifield was sent to Accra in Ghana to establish the National Museum of Ghana. The museum was due to be completed in time for the day of Ghana's independence from Britain in April 1957, displaying exhibits that had previously been at the University Museum of Ghana. Upon arrival Merrifield found that construction was delayed, but, "by an ingenious co-ordination of processes", he had the museum ready for its official opening by the Duchess of Kent. Returning to the Guildhall Museum he campaigned for the archaeological excavation of sites prior to their redevelopment, resulting in the establishment of the museum's Department of Urban Archaeology in 1973.
In 1962 he published his first important academic paper, a study of Roman coins found at the bottom of the River Walbrook. Although not a specialist in any one particular aspect of Romano-British archaeology, he was able to synthesise a wide range of evidence to develop a picture of life in Londinium, the Roman settlement located in the City of London, publishing The Roman City of London in 1965. The project had been suggested to him two years previously by the publisher Ernest Benn, and represented the first detailed study of Roman London to be published for 35 years. To produce it, Merrifield catalogued all known Romano-British remains in the city; at the same time he developed ideas for where further remains might be located. The archaeologist W. F. Grimes described it as "a landmark in the study of Roman London", and the archaeologist Harvey Sheldon called it "a masterful historical synthesis". The book established Merrifield's reputation to a wider audience. He followed this with two works aimed at a general audience, Roman London (1969), in which he looked at evidence for Romano-British occupation across the wider Greater London area, and The Archaeology of London (1975), in which he surveyed the archaeological evidence of the region from the Palaeolithic through to the Early Middle Ages.
Museum of London and retirement: 1975–1995
In 1975 the Guildhall Museum was amalgamated with the London Museum to become the Museum of London, and Merrifield became its senior keeper: he was promoted to the position of deputy director in 1977, and was responsible for designing the Museum's first Roman gallery. From 1976 to 1978 he also served as president of the London and Middlesex Archaeological Society. Merrifield retired in 1978, and a festschrift, entitled Collectanea Londiniensia: Studies in London Archaeology and History Presented to Ralph Merrifield, was published in his honour. Recognising his many years of service to the archaeological field, the University of London awarded him an honorary doctorate.
During his retirement he continued to take an active role in researching London's past. In 1983 he published London: City of the Romans, in which he updated his account of Londinium with information obtained over the previous decade and a half. His book The Archaeology of Ritual and Magic appeared in 1987, and was written to combat what Merrifield identified as a widespread neglect of ritual aspects in the archaeological record. Concurring with Merrifield's assessment about this neglect, the later archaeologist Roberta Gilchrist described the book as a "rare contribution" to the discipline. The historian of religion Hilda Ellis Davidson praised the "cautious and balanced arguments" of Merrifield's work, opining that it should be read by every archaeologist as a corrective to what she thought was their widespread ignorance of folklore.
Merrifield was uneasy with the changes made to London's archaeological establishment by English Heritage during the early 1990s, strongly supporting the creation of the Standing Conference on London Archaeology to monitor English Heritage's actions. He also continued to talk on archaeological subjects, and his final lecture, "Magic Protection of the Home", was given to extramural students in Northampton in December 1994.
Personal life and death
Merrifield married Lysbeth Webb, a colleague at the Guildhall Museum, in 1951. The couple went on to have one son and one daughter.
Following a short illness, Merrifield died of cardiac arrest in King's College Hospital, London, on 9 January 1995, leaving behind his wife, children, and grandchildren.
Legacy
Merrifield came to be known as the "father of London's modern archaeology", the archaeologist Harvey Sheldon describing him as the "father figure" of London archaeology. According to archaeologist W. F. Grimes, it was Merrifield's "work in and about London [that earned him] an honoured place in British Archaeology". In Ronald Hutton's introduction for Physical Evidence for Ritual Acts, Sorcery and Witchcraft in Christian Britain, edited by him and published in 2016, he referenced a work from 2012 by Roberta Gilchrist, who noted then "a stubborn reluctance to address [the] phenomenon [of ritual and magic] in relation to later medieval archaeology". Hutton noted further that, "when a top-ranking scholar like Gilchrist expresses concern about an issue, that is a sign in itself that it is emerging into greater prominence." In 2014, the Society for Historical Archaeology's journal Historical Archaeology published an issue mainly comprising papers presented to a symposium held in 2012 in Baltimore, Maryland, USA, on the topic "Manifestations of magic: The archaeology and material culture of folk religion". In an introductory paper a guest editor, M. Chris Manning, described The Archaeology of Ritual and Magic as "seminal", and wrote that "[m]any of the participants' ... research [had] been informed by Merrifield's work". However, the "volume edited by ... Hutton [in 2016] was the first [book] to cover similar ground in twenty-eight years."
In Merrifield's obituary in British Archaeology magazine, Max Hebditch, director of the Museum of London, described him as being both "generous with his knowledge and friendship" and "energetic and active to the end". Sheldon stated that he was "universally loved and admired, [having done] more than anyone else, both by example and influence," to place London's archaeology on a firm footing. Writing in The Independent, Peter Marsden commented on Merrifield's "quiet manner [that] obscured a steely determination" to advance scholarship.
Works
A list of Merrifield's published work, including books, articles, and book reviews, was compiled by John Hopkins and Jenny Hall and included as part of his 1978 festschrift.

The Monsoon Oracle
|
The Monsoon Oracle is a 2013 documentary film directed by Shrenik Rao.
Synopsis
The Monsoon Oracle is an intimate portrayal of the central festival of Telangana, called Bonalu. It narrates stories of women and men who dedicate their lives to enacting the roles the Hindu goddess Mahankali’s oracles and to the role of Pothuraju, the goddess's whip wielding brother.
It presents an insight into extraordinary ritualistic practices that are performed every year in India in the hope of a bountiful Monsoon and explores the emotional and psychological dimensions of these annual role enactments. Their stories reveal the relationship between the effective charge of a religious crowd and an extreme form of animal sacrifice.
The Film also delves into themes of modernization, commercialization, and politicization of religion in modern India. The dialogue in the film takes place in TelanganaTelugu with English subtitles. The narration is in English.
In an Interview with Deccan Chronicle, Shrenik said
"It's about people, their stories, their tradition of predicting monsoons and the oracles. The idea germinated as I watched a report on a local news channel. I decided to pursue it because of the contrast the traditions offered against the backdrop of a high tech Hyderabad".
The Monsoon Oracle has been critically acclaimed and screened at Massachusetts Institute of Technology(MIT) and at the University of Chicago .

Eric Corton
|
Eric Corton (born 11 January 1969 in Oosterbeek) is a Dutch presenter, actor, author and diskjockey. He is the face of the annual multi-media charity event Serious Request.
Career
Eric Corton is an educated actor on the Maastricht Academy of Dramatic Arts, but he is a common celebrity and television personality in the Netherlands, not specifically known as an actor. He sang and played guitar for the now extinct bands Eric Corton Trio and Tacker. Despite his thorough acting background, Eric got known as a diskjockey at Dutch radio station 3FM before anything else, while his characteristic voice was used in numerous commercials too.
Acting
In 1995 Corton featured in the Veronica-series '20 Plus'. He met his wife Diana Sno on the set of that show. He was also part of the a comedy company called Purper, which played in theaters. He has also played in several Dutch movies and television series, but due to other commitments these have not been big, substantial roles. Most characters he played were either for his warm voice, or his typical masculine appearance.
He did bring his theater and acting experience to the spotlight already, but not with great acknowledgment. That would rapidly change when in 2012 he got cast for the series Penoza, alongside the much laurelled actress Monic Hendrickx, in a cast featuring several top-rated actors in the Netherlands. In the series, he plays the character of John de Weerd, a big-hearted, withdrawn and loving man, who would not harm a fly, but who is married to a Carmen (played by Monic Hendrickx) who gets dragged deeper and deeper into the world of the international organized crime against her own will, due to the mistakes her late husband and brother had made. The character of John strongly disapproves of the actions his wife has to take, but he lets her, out of his eyesight. In the meanwhile he takes care of both her and his sons from prior relationships, as well as Camen's orphaned grandson.
Presenting
In 2002 and 2003 Eric was the voice over for Robot Wars: The Dutch Battles, a spin-off from the British television show.
He also presented ‘De Garage’ for another broadcaster than BNN, namely VPRO and several radio shows.
DJ
Eric is a well-known radio host and DJ. Partly due to his remarkable features, among which several tattoos, including on his hands, he is embraced by the Dutch rock scene, more than any other radio DJ. He is also an avid supporter of live music, using his radio station to promote Dutch live bands on any given occasion. One of the bands that profited from Eric's support is Voicst, which he aired on any occasion for a long period of time on his radio shows.
Music
Eric is a well-known rock fan and has testified on this in several interviews. He was a guest as fan of Queens of the Stone Age on Dutch television show De Wereld Draait Door, which is the biggest daily talkshow of the Netherlands. The same report also featured politician Esther Ouwehand.
Eric has had a career as a musician himself too. The highlight in Eric's career was his band Tacker.
He also was part of the eponymous band Eric Corton Trio
He also shared the stage with Seasick Steve and the Belgian rockband Triggerfinger at the Pinkpop Festival, being humorously announced as "the most handsome grey man from Holland", by Triggerfinger singer Ruben Blok.
Eric Corton is co-initiator of Cortonville, a live music platform for Dutch musicians, including albumreviews, interviews, reports, backgrounds, concertregistrations. Cortonville also organizes music events and small tours, in which new and coming bands are often given a change to display themselves to bigger audiences they would have had by their own power.
Writing
Eric Corton has a big love for cars. He has owned many cars and said about this on Dutch television: I can fall in love with a car, but when I see another one I fall in love with, my current car has to go. That's my form of infidelity like a rock star, while I treat my actual wife with a lot more respect and devotion. He wrote down a lifetime of stories, following the cars he then possessed, suitably dubbed ‘Eric Corton: Auto-Biography’, which was released in 2013.
He had written a lesser known book before in 2010, named ‘Wilde Wereld’ (which means "wild world"), about African Stories. This was Eric's debut as an author and it displays the stories, often very touching of nature, he heard by African children for his work as ambassador for The Red Cross.
Trivia
In 2011 he received the "Pop Media Award". The jury described him as a "musician, DJ, program maker, tv-presenter, and an advocate for alternative music on stations that usually don't pay attention to is in particular".
He officially married a couple as a special Civil registry servant. He did this in 2007, in the Glass House, after an auction for Serious Request.
Eric Corton is an official The Red Cross ambassador. He travels to Africa to show the Dutch viewers what this year's theme for Serious request is and why it is important. This gave him the officious title "mister Serious Request".
Despite being born in 1969 he works for BNN, which explicitly aims at a teenage and young adult audience. Besides hosting shows, he is the voice-over or announcement voice for most of the BNN radio and television shows.
He was a candidate for the Dutch House of Representatives in 2021 for the GreenLeft party, running as a lijstduwer.
Private life
Eric Corton is married to actress Diana Sno. The couple has one son and a daughter.
Eric was born in Oosterbeek, near Arnhem, but now resides in Amsterdam.

Europe Theatre Prize
|
The Europe Theatre Prize (Premio Europa per il Teatro) is an award of the European Commission for a personality who has "contributed to the realisation of cultural events that promote understanding and the exchange of knowledge between peoples". "The winner is chosen for the whole of his artistic path among notable personalities of international theatre considered in all its different forms, articulations and expressions". The prize was established in 1986 when Carlo Ripa di Meana was first Commissioner of Culture. In those years a contribution to its creation also came from Melina Mercouri, who was patroness of the Prize, and from Jack Lang, then French Minister of Culture and current President of the Prize. The European Parliament and the European Council have supported it as a "European cultural interest organisation" since 2002.
In 1987 the prize was first awarded to Ariane Mnouchkine for her work with the Théâtre du Soleil. She received a money prize and a sculpture of Pietro Consagra. The first international jury was chaired by Irene Papas. Recipients have included choreographer Pina Bausch and stage director Patrice Chéreau.
In 1990, an additional award Europe Prize Theatrical Realities (Premio Europa Realtà Teatrali) was established looking at innovation in theatre and first awarded to Anatoly Vasiliev. In Edition XII, they were Viliam Dočolomanský (Slovakia), Katie Mitchell (United Kingdom), Andrey Moguchy (Russia), Kristian Smeds (Finland), Teatro Meridional (Portugal) and Vesturport (Iceland). Recipients have also included Heiner Goebbels, Oskaras Koršunovas (2002) and Rimini Protokoll (2008).
The program for both awards is rich in theatrical presentations. Lasting a week, it has been termed the "'Oscars' of European theatre" and "Oscar of Drama".
History of the Prize
The first nine editions of the prize were awarded in Taormina. To achieve a more international aspect it became itinerant, so the ceremonies were held in Turin for Edition X, as part of the cultural program for the 2006 Winter Olympics in collaboration with the Teatro Stabile. Editions XI and XII were held in Thessaloniki, Greece, Edition XIII in Wrocław, Poland, as part of the UNESCO's Grotowski Year.
In 2011 the awards were given at the Alexandrinsky Theatre of St. Petersburg, then Culture Capital of Russia. A critic described the performances of innovative theatre: "Their shows demonstrate that the dialogue between the arts and cutting edge technology opens up new ways towards creation and knowledge. Computer generated images, pantomime, dancing, circus and music expand the frontiers of the theatre and make it more dramatic. Shows such as Faustus based on Goethe's play, Metamorphosis by Kafka, Mr Vertigo by Paul Auster, Cabo Verde by Natalia Luiza and Miguel Seabra, and Happiness by Maurice Maeternlick are overwhelming both in their use of technique and the emotions they exude."
In 2016, the Edition XV was presented in Craiova, Romania, following the prestigious International Shakespeare Festival, which reached its 10th edition in the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death on April 23. This edition of the Prize was organised under the patronage of the City of Craiova, which wanted to unite the two events, in cooperation with the Shakespeare Foundation and the city's National Theatre ‘Marin Sorescu', to which can be added the contribution of the Romanian Cultural Institute.
In 2017, the Prize returned for the Edition XVI to Italy, in Rome, as a special project promoted by the Minister of Culture, as both an ideal conclusion to the 60th anniversary of the Treaties of Rome and the opening event of the European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018. These celebrations coincided with the 30th anniversary of the Prize itself, the first cultural initiative launched by the European Community in the field of theatre. The 16th Prize was given to two emblematic figures of the international stage: Isabelle Huppert and Jeremy Irons, artists capable of transferring the theatrical dimension to that of cinema and vice-versa so that the Prize went once again to actors, after Michel Piccoli's 2001 award of the 9th Prize. The ceremony finished with a staged reading of Harold Pinter's Ashes to Ashes, masterfully performed by Huppert and Irons, who have been defined by The Guardian 'theatrical dynamite'.
In November 2018, the Europe Theatre Prize returned for the second time to St. Petersburg, Russia, thanks to the support and patronage of the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation and the City Government, and was included in the VII "St. Petersburg International Cultural Forum" as a flagship event among theatrical events. The Baltic House Theatre-Festival of St. Petersburg presented the Edition XVII of the Prize, collaborated in the realization of the event, supported and organized it in Russia, as well as hosting various scheduled performances. With its return to Russia as part of the VII Cultural Forum, the Prize once again served as a bridge that uses theatre and art to connect and encourage dialogue across geographical, cultural, political and social differences.

MUSA (Music of the United States of America) is a 41-volume series of critical editions of American music, representing the full range of genres and idioms that have contributed to American musical culture.
It was established by the American Musicological Society in 1988 and is hosted by the University of Michigan at its American Music Institute. The criteria used in developing MUSA volumes are:
That the series as a whole reflect breadth and balance among eras, genres, composers and performance media
That it avoid music already available through other channels, duplicating only where new editions of available music seem essential
That works in the series be representative, chosen to reflect particular excellence or to represent notable achievements in this country's highly varied music history
MUSA receives funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities and is published by A-R Editions of Madison, Wisconsin. The founding editor-in-chief of MUSA is Richard Crawford, and the current editors-in-chief are Mark Clague (University of Michigan) and Gayle Magee (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign).

Olympos Aerial Tram
|
The Olympos Aerial Tram (), aka Olympos Cable Car, is an aerial lift of tramway type located in Antalya Province, southern Turkey, serving the peak of Mount Olympos ( at an altitude of from Kemer. It went into service in 2006.
The aerial lift line was constructed by the Austrian Doppelmayr Garaventa Group. With its length of , it is one of the longest passenger-carrying aerial tramway lines in the world. There are four supporting towers located between the two terminals. The aerial tram consists of two passenger cabins, each capable of carrying 80 passengers. Two fixed track cables are for support while one loop of cable, solidly connected to the cabins, is for haulage. An electric motor drives the haulage rope, which provides propulsion. When the cabins arrive at the end stations, the cable loop stops and reverses direction so that the cars shuttle back and forth between the terminals.
The base station is located between the towns of Çamyuva and Tekirova in Kemer district at altitude and about south of Antalya. The mountain station offers a panoramic view of the Mediterranean coast from Finike in the southwest and Side in the northeast, and features a restaurant and gift shops.
In case of a power supply cut, a hydrostatic emergency power system ensures safe continuation of operations. Passengers can be evacuated by ropes at locations where the cabin is not very high from the ground. Evacuation of passengers is also possible by small emergency cabins capable of carrying 25 people, or by helicopter in good weather.
Mt. Olympos is situated within the Beydağları Coastal National Park. The site offers trekking, mountain climbing and paragliding activities in the summer and skiing in the winter time.
Operation hours are everyday from 10 to 17 hours.

Kurt Heise
|
Kurt Heise (born February 9, 1966) is a Republican politician from Michigan formerly serving in the Michigan House of Representatives.
Prior to his election to the House of Representatives, Heise was the director of the Wayne County Department of Environment and county drain commissioner from 2003 to 2009. He is a municipal attorney and environmental consultant, and a member of the Blue Ribbon Commission on Lake St. Clair.
He is also the primary backer of a bill currently on the House floor (5/20/2015) that would exempt much of the specifics of Michigan's energy infrastructure from inquiries under the Freedom of Information Act. Heise formally announced his candidacy for the Republican nomination for Plymouth Township Supervisor in the 2016 election but was kicked off the ballot due to unfinished paperwork. Despite being kicked off the ballot, Heise won a write-in campaign in the Republican primary election for Plymouth Township Supervisor.
Political positions
In 2022, as Plymouth Township Supervisor, Heise recommended using the township's $2.83 million portion of the federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) for golf course and sidewalk updates. This caused controversy among some Plymouth Township residents, who felt that the funds should go toward road repairs and feared that the sidewalk projects would be used to justify cancelling school bus routes.
In the 2022 Michigan gubernatorial election, Heise supported Tudor Dixon for governor. Dixon lost to incumbent Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
Heise named finding a solution to Plymouth’s 35th District Court funding shortfall as a township priority for 2023. The issue has been attributed to police writing fewer tickets following the wider adoption of ride share services that have decreased the number of DUIs and OWIs, as well as a reduced number of drivers on the road in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic. Heise has indicated support of illegal policing tactics to raise revenues through increased traffic ticketing and reducing court staff.
U.S. House of Representatives elections
2018
In 2018 he filed to run to replace two term Representative Dave Trott. However, in February he withdrew from the race and endorsed State Senate Leader Mike Kowall.

The Observer (Cape newspaper)
|
The Observer of South African Affairs was a Port Elizabeth based newspaper of the Cape Colony, that was published from 6 July 1876.
In the 1880s it underwent a series of name changes, to the Port Elizabeth Spectator (May 1886 - September 1888), and the Spectator and Evening Mail (September 1888 - January 1890).
It took an extreme pro-imperialist "jingoist" stance and strongly opposed the "Cape Liberal Tradition" that was centred on Cape Town and dominated Cape politics at the time. The Observer, together with the Grahamstown Journal of Robert Godlonton, championed the reactionary 1820 Settler lobby in pushing for expansionist policies against the neighbouring Xhosa people. It called for restrictions on the multi-racial Cape Qualified Franchise and for the establishment of an independent "Eastern Cape Colony" separate from the Cape Colony.
The Observer ran a series of satirical cartoons, starting with its first edition on 6 July 1876. After the 27 June 1878 edition, the resident cartoonist, Charles J Barber, moved to the rival Port Elizabeth publication, The Cape Hornet and was replaced by William Howard Schröder who had just moved from the Lantern newspaper of Cape Town. The cartoons attacked both the neighbouring Xhosa people, and the liberal Cape government which was restricting the settlers' expansion into Xhosa land.

HIV Organ Policy Equity Act
|
The HIV Organ Policy Equity Act (the HOPE Act) is a law that modifies rules regarding organ donation between HIV-positive individuals. The law authorizes clinical research and the revision of rules about organ donation and transportation as a result of the research. Organs from HIV donors would only be going to individuals who are already HIV positive, but could lead to 600 additional organ transplants a year. The use of HIV-positive organs was previously a federal crime. This bill passed the United States Senate during the 113th United States Congress, and also passed the United States House of Representatives. It was signed into law as PL 113-51 by President Barack Obama on November 21, 2013.
The HIV Organ Policy Equity Act revised the Organ Transplant Amendments Act of 1988, a law that prevented patients from receiving organs from HIV positive people. The HIV Organ Policy Equity Act shortened organ transplant wait times, including the wait times for people without HIV as more HIV positive patients receive organs.
Provisions of the bill
This summary is based largely on the summary provided by the Congressional Research Service, a public domain source.
The HIV Organ Policy Equity Act amends the Public Health Service Act to repeal the requirement that the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network adopt and use standards of quality for the acquisition and transportation of donated organs that include standards for preventing the acquisition of organs infected with the etiologic agent for acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS).
The bill replaces this requirement with authorization for the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network to adopt and use such standards with respect to organs infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), provided that any such standards ensure that organs infected with HIV may be transplanted only into individuals who are: (1) infected with such virus before receiving such an organ; and (2) participating in clinical research approved by an institutional review board under the criteria, standards, and regulations regarding organs infected with HIV developed under this Act or, if participation in such research is no longer warranted, receiving a transplant under such standards and regulations.
The bill would revise similarly the requirement that organ procurement organizations arrange for testing to prevent the acquisition of organs infected with the AIDS etiologic agent to require that they arrange for testing to identify organs infected with HIV.
The bill directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) to develop and publish guidelines for the conduct of research relating to transplantation of organs from HIV-infected donors.
The bill also requires the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network to revise its standards of quality regarding HIV-infected organs and the Secretary to revise related regulations.
The bill requires the Secretary to: (1) review annually the results of scientific research in conjunction with the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network to determine whether they warrant revision of quality standards relating to donated HIV-infected organs and to the safety of transplantation of organs with a particular strain of HIV into a recipient with a different strain; and (2) direct the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network, if the review so warrants, to revise its standards in a way that ensures the changes will not reduce the safety of organ transplantation.
Finally, the bill amends the federal criminal code to declare that an organ donation does not violate the prohibition against a knowing organ donation by an HIV-infected individual if the donation is made in accordance with this Act.
Congressional Budget Office report
This summary is based largely on the summary provided by the Congressional Budget Office, as ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions on March 20, 2013. This is a public domain source.
S. 330 amends provisions of the Public Health Service Act that authorize the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to establish guidelines and quality standards for conducting research relating to donated organs and for acquiring and procuring such organs.
The bill removes a provision in current law that prohibits the acquisition and procurement of donated organs that are infected with the virus that causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome. S. 330 also requires the Secretary of HHS to develop guidelines for conducting research relating to organ transplants from donors who are infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). The Secretary is required to annually review the results of the research to determine whether the results warrant revising the quality standards for acquiring and procuring donated organs. Finally, the bill authorizes the Secretary to establish standards for acquiring and procuring donated organs that are infected with HIV, provided that any such standards ensure that an organ infected with HIV may be transplanted only into individuals who are infected with HIV before receiving such organ.
To implement S. 330, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimated that HHS would incur administrative costs of less than $500,000 annually and about $1 million over the 2014-2018 period. Any such costs would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds. Pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply to this legislation because it would not affect direct spending or revenues.
The bill contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act.
Procedural history
The HIV Organ Policy Equity Act was introduced into the Senate on February 14, 2013 by Sen. Barbara Boxer (D, CA). It was referred to the United States Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. On June 17, 2013, the Senate voted by unanimous consent to pass the bill.
The HIV Organ Policy Equity Act was received in the United States House of Representatives on June 18, 2013. It was referred to the United States House Committee on Energy and Commerce, the United States House Energy Subcommittee on Health, the United States House Committee on the Judiciary, and the United States House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, Homeland Security and Investigations. On November 8, 2013, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor announced that the HIV Organ Policy Equity Act would be considered under a suspension of the rules on the House floor on November 12, 2013.
Debate and discussion
The Human Rights Campaign was in favor of the bill. According to the Human Rights Campaign, "the Act is supported by dozens of organizations that advocate on transplant policy and communities with an increased need for transplantation, including: AIDS United, amfAR, American Medical Association, American Society for Nephrology, Association of Organ Procurement Organizations, American Society of Transplantation, American Society of Transplant Surgeons, Dialysis Patient Citizens, HIV Medicine Association, and United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS)."

Stockholm bid for the 2022 Winter Olympics
|
Stockholm 2022 was a bid by Stockholm with Åre and the Swedish Olympic Committee for the 2022 Winter Olympics. The bid was announced at November 11, 2013. The IOC will select the host city for the 2022 Winter Olympics at the 127th IOC Session in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on July 31, 2015. Stockholm previously hosted the 1912 Summer Olympics and hosted equestrian events at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne.
On 17 January 2014, the Moderate Party in Stockholm decided not to support the bid, and after that there is a clear majority in the city council against organising the games.
On 17 January 2014, Stockholm dropped a bid for 2022 Winter Olympics.
History
In summer 2013, the Swedish Olympic Committee (SOK) has expressed plans to submit an application for the 2022 Winter Olympics and the 2022 Winter Paralympics in the capital Stockholm. Four alpine skiing events will be held in Åre in northern Sweden. SOK has the support of the Swedish Sports Organization for the Disabled and Swedish Paralympic Committee and the Swedish Sports Confederation. Some people has expressed that the distance between Stockholm and Åre is too far, about . Åre has three times before applied for the games together with nearby city of Östersund, but have been turned down all times. Östersund was also interested in a potential 2022 bid, but the Swedish Olympic Committee decided not to move forward with bidding due to a lack of financial guarantees from the government. Östersund is probably also too small to host the Olympic Games. Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth, Minister for Culture and Sports, has said that she finds it difficult to see a future Olympic games in Sweden. The president of the Swedish Olympic Committee Stefan Lindeberg thinks that Stockholm's size is perfect for the Winter Olympics and says the city already has the most of what is needed. According to calculations, a Swedish Olympic Games will costs approximately 15–20 billion SEK (€ 1.7–2.3 billion).
On October 1, 2013, investigator Jöran Hägglund indicated that it is entirely possible to host the Winter Olympics in Stockholm. Hägglund estimated the implementation budget to 9.79 billion SEK (€ 1.13 billion) and the investment budget to 2.5 billion SEK (€ 290 million). The games will be concentrated entirely in the Stockholm area, and only eight of the alpine events are planned to be held in Åre. He also said that five investments are necessary; a new track to bobsleigh, luge and skeleton, improve the vertical drop fairly much in Flottsbrobacken, a new ski jump, speed skating venue and a cross country venue. The infrastructure and other ice venues already exists in Stockholm. The reason for this cost cut is that the Swedish government does not want to support the games with big money (several 100 million euros). However the IOC requires the government to guarantee support for cost overruns etc. A more thorough investigation showed that the cost estimation was uncertain. IOC requirements would demand reconstruction of several existing arenas, adding VIP lounges for IOC members and separate ones for media, restaurant kitchens etc.
Previous bids
Stockholm hosted the 1912 Summer Olympics. Stockholm also hosted the Equestrian events in the 1956 Summer Olympics.
Stockholm bid to host the 2004 Summer Olympics but lost to Athens.
Previous bids by other Swedish cities
Gothenburg (with cities spread over Sweden) bid to host the 1984 Winter Olympics but lost to Sarajevo. Falun (with Åre) bid to host the 1988 and 1992 Winter Olympics but lost to Calgary and Albertville respectively.
Östersund bid to host the 1994, 1998 and 2002 Winter Olympics but lost to Lillehammer, Nagano and Salt Lake City respectively.
Future bids
Stockholm co-bidded for the 2026 with Åre, but lost out to Milan-Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy.
Venues
List of proposed venues:
Competition venues
Non-sporting venues
Transportation
Stockholm is served by the Stockholm-Arlanda Airport, which has intercontinental flights. The distance between Stockholm and Åre is about . There will be air connections to Åre Östersund Airport around 90 km from Åre. There are suggestions to use an airfield at Järpen ( from Åre), which probably must be upgraded to be used for commercial passenger flights. Groups in large planes going to Åre will probably use the Trondheim Airport in Norway ( from Åre). There are train connections between Stockholm and Åre, needing around 6 hours.

Temple Beth El (Madison, Wisconsin)
|
Temple Beth El, also known as Temple Beth-El, is a Reform synagogue in Madison, Wisconsin, in the United States. The synagogue was founded in 1939.
History
The synagogue's founding rabbi was Dr. Manfred Swarsensky. He was a Holocaust survivor who emigrated from Berlin, Germany, to the United States in 1939, established the synagogue, and was the rabbi of Temple Beth El for 36 years, until he retired. At the beginning, the synagogue had 12 members.
In 1950, when the synagogue had 150–200 families as members, it built the present synagogue building on land it had purchased on Arbor Drive, and dedicated the new building. By the end of Swarsensky's tenure, the synagogue had 400 families as members. The synagogue after his death created in his honor an annual lectureship, known as the "Swarsensky Weekend".
Rabbi Kenneth Roseman, who has a Ph.D. in Jewish history, was the rabbi of the synagogue following Swarsensky, from 1976 to 1985. He was followed by Rabbi Jan Brahms, who served for nineteen years before deciding in 2004 to take a post at a smaller congregation in The Woodlands, Texas. Brahms was known for his interfaith activities and for his many columns on religious topics for The Capital Times newspaper. During Brahms' tenure the congregation grew from 480 families to about 700.
After Brahms, Daryl Crystal served as rabbi on an interim basis until the current rabbi, Jonathan Biatch, took the position in 2005.
Lawrence Kohn served as Education Director for 35 years, starting in 1979. Henry James Cargas was the first Rabbi Manfred Swarsensky Scholar at the synagogue, in 1982.
In 2008, the Madison Jewish Community Day School opened in rented space at Temple Beth El. Beginning in February 2014, the synagogue hosted Beth Israel Center’s after-school services while renovations were underway at Beth Israel for six months. The synagogue had to postpone a planned group trip to Israel scheduled for August 2014 due to fighting in Israel. Rabbi Biatch said: "There's a great deal of disappointment. But there is optimism that we will go eventually."
Former National Football League player Gabe Carimi and his family attended the synagogue as he grew up. Carimi celebrated his bar mitzvah at the synagogue, and helped in the synagogue's Hebrew school when he was in high school.
In 2014, the synagogue had 650 member families. The congregation is a member of the Union for Reform Judaism. Its members reflect Madison’s demographic as the seat of state and county government, home of the University of Wisconsin, and a regional center for medical care, scientific research, and business.

Arapaha
|
Arapaha (also Arapaja or Harapaha) was a Timucua town on the Alapaha River in the 17th century. The name was also sometimes used to designate a province or sub-province in Spanish Florida.
Arapaha entered historical records with the establishment of the mission of Santa María de los Angeles de Arapaha in the 1620s. This mission was to the north of missions established in Timucua Province (in the original narrow sense of the territory of the Northern Utina), and northeast of Yustaga Province. The town of Arapaha was probably located on the Alapaha River. ("Arapaha" is presumed to have been changed to "Alapaha" by speakers of one of the Muskogean languages, which lack "r".) "Arapaha" likely meant "many houses" or "bear town" in the Timucuan language. The people referred to by the French as "Onatheaqua" in the 1560s may have been the same as the Northern Utina or Arapaha.
Several other missions are associated with Santa María de los Angeles de Arapaha in Spanish records, including Santa Cruz de Cachipile (near present-day Lake Park, Georgia), San Ildefonso de Chamini (or Chamile) (near Hixtown Swamp in Madison County, Florida) and San Francisco de Chuaquin (on the lower Withlacoochee River near the Suwannee River). Chuaquin was on or close to the royal road between St. Augustine and Apalachee Province. Apapaha, Cachapile and Chamile were located north to northwest of San Augustín de Urihica, well off of the royal road. Cachipile and Chaquin were subject to the chief of Chamile.
Whether Arapaha and its associated towns/missions constituted a province in northernmost Florida and southernmost Georgia separate from Northern Utina Province is unclear. A Spanish traveler in 1630 referred to "Harapaha Province" located between Santa Isabel de Utinahica and Apalachee Province. The missions at Arapaha, Cachipile, Chamile and Chuaquin were reported to be in Northern Utina Province in 1655, but Arapaha, Cachipile and Chamile were located further from St. Augustine than were the missions of San Pedro y San Pablo de Potohiriba and Santa Elena de Machaba in Yustaga Province, which were themselves further from St. Augustine than were the southerly Northern Utina missions. The chiefs of Arapaha, Cachipile, Chamile and Chuaquin did not join the Timucua Rebellion of 1656, which was instigated by the head chief of the Northern Utina, indicating the possibility of some degree of autonomy or separation.
In the wake of the Timucua Rebellion of 1656, the Spanish executed many of the chiefs of Timucua (Northern Utina), Yustaga and Potano Provinces. Many of the towns thus left leaderless were already depopulated. The Spanish pressured the chiefs and people of Arapaha, Chamile, Cachipile and Chaquin to move to towns along the royal road. The chief of Arapaha was given Santa Fé de Toloca as his chief town, as well as jurisdiction over San Francisco de Potano, San Pedro y San Pablo de Potohiriba, San Juan Guacara and other mission towns. The old towns were largely depopulated when visited in 1658. The residents who had not moved to the towns on the royal road had mostly died or fled to the woods.

Faux de Verzy
|
A Fau de Verzy is either a Dwarf Beech (Fagus sylvatica variety tortuosa), a dwarf oak tree, or a dwarf chestnut tree. These grow in the forest of Verzy, 25 km south of Reims in France.
In this forest are less than a thousand dwarf beeches, some dozen dwarf oaks and some dwarf chestnuts (see Biology below), but this article speaks in the main about dwarf beeches.
Etymology and toponymy
The word designated the beech in Old French (the plural was ); this word came from the Latin , now the French word for beech is that has a Germanic origin.
These trees therefore give the name, Les Faux de Verzy, to the touristic area located in France 25 km south of Reims in Marne where the world’s largest concentration of dwarf beeches stands with about a thousand trees.
The dwarf beeches (The faux)
They are not more than high. In summer, they spread their leaves like heavy sun umbrellas; some looking like leaf igloos. In winter, their tortuous shape can be seen naked: trunks and branches are crooked, bent, twisted and pendulous to the ground.
Such dwarf beeches are also known in other places: in Germany (in the Süntel area, not far from Hanover), in Sweden (at Dalby Söderskog National Park near Malmö, not far from the northern limit for this species), in Denmark, and in another place in France (in Lorraine). Nobody knows whether these plantings have the same origin or not. But there are too few such beeches in these two places to feel confident about the future of their population.
The situation is healthier around the dwarf beeches of Verzy, especially now that the construction of a pathway enables visitors to admire them without making harmful trampling on the ground over the fragile roots. A fenced reserve also enables the preservation of a part of the population.
With more than 1,000 dwarf beeches, the National Forest of Verzy is the world's principal reserve of dwarf beeches.
Among them, the most specific ones were given a name inspired by their peculiar shapes:
•the umbrella Fau,
•the Fau of the bride,
•the ox-head Fau,
•the Fau of the Young Lady (the legend says that Joan of Arc came and had a rest in this forest).
This area has been listed at a national level since 1932.

History
A mass of speculation, from far-fetched to more credible, but often scientifically unfounded, have been put forward to explain the origin of the Faux of Verzy.
It is known that there were already some “Faux” in the forest of Verzy thanks to old books written in the abbey of St-Basle during the 6th century.
The monks may have increased their number by layering and then by transplanting them in the forest to make a kind of “botanical garden”. These monks were great travellers and, according to Y. Bernard they may have brought back a treasured young plant from an eastern area that they were passing through for evangelizing.
A dwarf beech called ( standing for meaning tree, and meaning fairy at that time) which together gives ‘’the tree of the fairies’’ stood in the south of Domrémy-la-Pucelle, the native village of Joan of Arc. This beech was already one hundred years old at that time; it was venerated because of its beauty and was the subject of rural worship: a procession used to walk there every year to chase away the bad spirits.
During Joan of Arc’s trial of rehabilitation (1450-1456), 11 witnesses spoke about this very tree as if it was an essential piece of information.
It was said that when going with Charles VII of France to the abbey of St Basle, Joan of Arc climbed up in the branches of a fau at Verzy and sat down. True or not, the story shows the swarm of legends which had surrounded these dwarf beeches that still are a mystery for the scientists.
Biology
The dwarf beech trees belong to the family Fagaceae as the usual common beech trees do. Their distinctive features are, apart from their shape:
their life expectancy. Not up to 800 years as it was claimed, but tree rings counts reached 350 at Verzy.
their capability of anastomosis (self welding of branches, even between different beeches and trees of different species as oaks).
their easiness in natural layering.
their seeds are rare and their rate of germination is lower than 10%. Furthermore, only 40% of these 10% will be dwarf beeches.
A genetic mutation is now the most probable hypothesis to explain the dwarf aspect of these trees. This mutation may have occurred spontaneously or could have been introduced by a pathogenic agent centuries ago, the mutation would be stable and hereditary.
Friedrich Lange proposes the hypothesis of a recessive mutation. He based this conclusion on the appearance inside a forest of common beech trees in the neighborhood of an old colonisation of disappeared dwarf beech trees of spontaneous seedling of dwarf trees. According to Lange, that is an out turn of the recessive characteristic actual in heterozygote coming from a common beech.
The hypothesis of a temporary adaptation ( in French) due to the local environment, still frequently in favour in the area, can’t be taken on because this adaptation is not genetically stable; the dwarf beeches, when they are transplanted from Verzy to other environments or when they are grafted on a common beech tree keep their dwarf tree aspect.
The earth of Verzy is poor for agriculture. Could this have led to a lineage of a distinct phenotype? No, because many beeches there are not dwarf beeches.
The hypothesis of a pathogen which may have induced a mutation is compatible with the fact that there are some dwarf oak trees Quercus petraea and some dwarf chest nut trees Castanea sativa or sweet chestnut.
Nevertheless, the photonic and electronic analysis with transmission carried out by J. C. Audran in 1985 failed in discovering an active presence of virus or of mollicutes (a class of small bacteria).
Year after year, even stranger trees are found in this area; these ones look globally as dwarf beech trees but with a branch growing as it would do in a common beech tree. These stranger trees seem to be more frequent, they are called chimera beech trees.
In 1998, by comparing the DNA coming from common beech trees, dwarf beech trees from Verzy, common purple beech trees and purple dwarf beech trees from the Süntel, Anita Gallois working in the laboratory of biology and plant physiology in Reims University brought to light that these morphological differences are indeed there because of a genetic factor, a result that confirms the hypothesis of a mutation.
Tourism and prospect
These dwarf beeches have been taken care of for decades. The Süntel area is not much visited and it expands thanks to replantations and graftings. This area of Verzy belongs to the French National Forests Office and thus is visited by hundreds of thousands of tourists every year who were a threat for the survival of this variety. The forest path was diverted to turn the visitors towards some dozens of specimens protected by barriers. This low strain brought by this protection plan is justified by the pleasure to pass on these natural beauties to the future generations. Explanatory boards explain walkers-by about the importance of the safeguard of such a natural heritage.
The National Institute of Agricultural Research and the Nancy botanical and gardens conservatory collect beechnuts for future uses. The laboratory in plant biology of the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne proceeds in vitro micropropagations.
In the Arènes de Lutèce, in the 5th arrondissement of Paris, stands a 2 meter high dwarf beech tree belonging to the same species; it was planted in 1905.

William Elgin Swinton
|
Dr William Elgin Swinton FRSE FLS (30 September 1900 in Kirkcaldy – 12 June 1994 in Toronto), was a Scottish paleontologist.
Life
William Swinton was born in Kirkcaldy in Fife, the son of William Wilson Swinton, a clerk, and Rachel Cargill; he had one sibling, his younger sister Mary. He received his secondary education in Dundee and Glenalmond College. From 1917, he studied Sciences at the University of Glasgow, graduating BSc in 1922. In 1920, he partook in an expedition to Spitsbergen. Between 1922 and 1924, he was an assistant at the geology department of the British Museum (Natural History) in London. Subsequently, Swinton was appointed as a curator of fossil amphibians, reptiles and birds. In 1933, he received his first doctorate (Ph.D) from the University of Glasgow.
In 1932 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. His proposers were Douglas Alexander Allan, Robert Campbell, Herbert Harold Read and Thomas Matthew Finlay.
He enlisted in the Royal Navy in 1937, and served during the entire Second World War with Navy intelligence, eventually reaching the rank of Lieutenant commander. In the late 1950s he joined an expedition to climb Mount Everest, but he failed to reach the summit. He received the Darwin Medal from the USSR Academy of Sciences in 1959. Two years later, he emigrated to Canada to take up a post in Toronto.
Career at the British Museum (Natural History)
At the museum, Swinton was responsible for writing a large number of museum guides and books; the latter mainly popularizing works about paleontology. One of his most famous works was The Dinosaurs from 1934. These books were translated into many languages, making him influential in determining the public perception of dinosaurs in the middle of the twentieth century. However, his ideas on dinosaur anatomy, ecology and systematics were already old-fashioned in the 1930s, while his evolutionary concepts were formed during the eclipse of Darwinism. These problems became worse as the books were being reprinted for decades.
Career in Canada
Swinton left the BMNH in 1961, to accept a post as professor of zoology at the University of Toronto, Canada. He combined this post with the directorship of the department of biology at the Royal Ontario Museum, and was soon appointed a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. In 1963, he became overall director of the ROM. Under his directorship, the museum gained both in public attendance and scientific prestige. His last appointment, until 1979, was as an extraordinary professor at Queen's University in Kingston.
He died in Toronto in 1994, 93 years old. Swinton remained unmarried and had no children.
