Monte Carlo (radio programme)
|
Monte Carlo was a Danish radio programme that was broadcast on the national Danish Radio (DR) channel DR P3. The program consisted of two radio personalities; Esben Bjerre Hansen and Peter Falktoft.
The programme was originally broadcast between 9.00 and 12.00 AM each Sunday, which was later changed when airtime was moved to 2-4 PM on all working days.
The programme contained different features ranging from quizzes to satirical inputs, including (translated) "The Quotation Index", "The Per Wimmer Quiz", "The Mystical Mr. Mox Quiz" and "Heard over the hedge" (#hørtoverhækken). The radio personalities often made fun of a select group of Danish celebrities and politicians, most noticeably the Danish producer, composer and songwriter Remee, the Danish professional road bicycle racer Rolf Sørensen and the Danish politician Simon Emil Ammitzbøl.
In 2012, Monte Carlo was a part of DR's coverage of the United States presidential election, sending from Miami, Florida, from 29 October to 7 November 2012.
In a big poll by DR, Esben Bjerre Hansen and Peter Falktoft were proposed as hosts for the Eurovision Song Contest 2014 held in the Danish capital, Copenhagen, with the two radio personalities receiving a substantial number of votes, although they were superseded by Nikolaj Koppel, Pilou Asbæk and Lise Rønne.

Marcel Pepin
|
Marcel Pepin (February 28, 1926 – March 6, 2000) was a trade unionist in Quebec, Canada. He was the president of the Confédération des syndicats nationaux from 1965 until 1976.
Biography
Pepin graduated with a master's degree in industrial relations from the faculty of social sciences at the Université Laval in 1949.
He became negotiator for the textile workers and steelworkers federations of the CTCC. In 1961 he became the secretary general of the Confédération des syndicats nationaux (CSN). In 1965, he was elected president of the CSN, succeeding to Jean Marchand, who had left the CSN to join the Liberal Party of Canada. During Pepin's tenure as president, the CSN moved toward more radical orientations. In 1972, the three major labour federations of Quebec temporarily concerted their forces into a "common front" (front commun) during negotiations with the government of Robert Bourassa; Pepin and the two other union leaders recommended illegal strikes and defiance of court orders and they were sentenced to jail for those actions. In 1976, Pepin was succeeded by Norbert Rodrigue as president of the CSN.
Pepin was president of the World Confederation of Labour from 1973 until 1981.
From 1980 until 1990 Pepin taught at the school of industrial relations of the Université de Montréal. He retired in 1990.
In 1979, Pepin and other trade unionists and academics published a manifesto for the creation of a socialist movement and in 1981 they founded a left-wing political party, the Mouvement socialiste. That party ran ten candidates in the 1985 and 1989 Quebec general elections, but it remained marginal and was dissolved around 1991.
He was married to Lucie Dagenais. He had five children.

Chasse-marée (cart)
|
In medieval France a chasse-marée was a cart designed to carry fresh fish to inland markets, with a minimum of weight put into construction and provision for harnessing four horses.
The medieval French chasse-marée merchants originally catered to the demand for fresh fish in inland markets by carrying fish in pairs of baskets on pack ponies, as far as possible, overnight. However, the distance coverable before the fish deteriorated was limited.
Later, where the quality of the road permitted, the range might be extended by the use of charrettes (carts). When designed for this trade, with a minimum of weight put into their construction and provision for harnessing the four horses, these vehicles took the name of chasse-marée. As speed was essential, they were normally hauled by two pairs of horses rather than the single horse which is normal for a cart. The vehicle took the form of two wheels, of a diameter large enough to minimize the slowing effect of bumps in the road. On their axle was mounted an open rectangular frame within which were slung the baskets holding the fish, packed in seaweed. More baskets were stacked above. The teams of usually fairly small horses were worked hard and changed at posting stations in the same way as those of mail coaches.
The coast supplying Paris by road was originally, that which was nearest to its market, around Le Tréport and Saint-Valery-sur-Somme. At its most developed, it extended from Fécamp to Calais including such places as Dieppe, Boulogne-sur-Mer and Étaples.
Some horse lovers have been attracted to the idea of driving a version of the chasse-marée carts, as a recreation.

Fun with Frith
|
Fun with Frith was an early Australian television series. It aired on Melbourne station HSV-7 in 1957, from 9 March to 15 June 1957 for a total of 15 episodes. The series was broadcast at 7:25PM on Saturdays, each episode being a brief 5 minutes long. The series featured cartoonist John Frith, who provided jokes and sketches.
Fun with Frith was preceded on HSV's schedule by US series Kaleidoscope and followed by another US series, Grantland Rice.
The archival status of Fun with Frith is not known. Additionally, it was not the only five-minute series to have aired on HSV-7 during 1957. For example, Green Fingers started off as a five-minute series before expanding to 15 minutes. GTV-9, meanwhile, offered a five-minute music series, also at 7:25PM on Saturdays, with Dennis Gibbons and Stan Stafford alternating each week.

Begonia samhaensis
|
Begonia samhaensis is a species in the family Begoniaceae. Similar to Begonia socotrana but separated by the asymmetrically ovate leaves and the unequal tepals in the male flowers; outer tepals broadly orbicular, 1.5–2.2 × 1.7–2.5 cm; inner obovate elliptic, 1.4–2.0 × 0.8 × 1.4 cm.
Ecology
Damp and shady cracks in north-facing limestone cliffs, on the island of Samhah in the Socotra Archipelago, Yemen.
Grows on north facing cliffs on the summit pinnacle and escarpments of the limestone plateau at the centre of Samhah island. Its area of occupation is less than 10 km2. The cliffs where it grows catch precipitation and mists principally from the NE monsoon and represent a unique habitat on Samhah island.
Botanical notes
Unlike B. socotrana, B. samhaensis flowers after rain and is not reliant on short day-length.

FCIP Program
The Fellow Chartered Insurance Professional (FCIP) Program is a designation program for Canada's property and casualty (p&c) insurance industry.
The Institute established the FCIP curriculum in the 1950s. During the late 1970s, the program was revised by approving a set of university based subjects for the program. FCIP candidates then took any of these approved courses, which were offered primarily through the continuing education departments of universities.
The FCIP Program was re-launched in 2010. The current FCIP program includes six courses, developed at a post-degree level, that are tailored specifically to the Canadian p&c sector.
The Institute developed the current FCIP in collaboration with senior industry executives and academics from business schools The virtual program is designed to provide a comprehensive, insurance-focused understanding of strategic leadership and advanced management techniques, leading to the FCIP designation.
More than 3,500 people across Canada hold an FCIP, FIIC, FPAA or FIAC designation.

Institute History
1899 – John B. Laidlaw, manager of the Norwich Union Fire Insurance Society in Canada, contacted insurance managers across Canada to create an insurance institute in Canada like the institutes being formed in Great Britain in the late 1870s. Two hundred and thirty industry representatives responded, forming to the Insurance Institute of Toronto.
1900 – The Insurance Institute of Montreal formed.
1920s – The Insurance Institute of British Columbia and the Insurance Institute of Winnipeg were established.
1931 – President of the Insurance Institute of Toronto, W.H. Burgess, first raised the idea of a national institute.
1947 – The Insurance Institute of Toronto became the Insurance Institute of Ontario.
1952 – All institutes joined in association with The Insurance Institute of Canada to establish a uniform standard of insurance education and examinations. The first president of the Insurance Institute, Norman G. Bethune, outlined the following three major objectives for the organization in the President's Address to The First Annual Meeting of the Insurance Institute of Canada:
The standardization of insurance education across Canada, with a uniform syllabus, uniform examinations, and consequently equal standing for all graduates regardless of education.
A sound and equitable basis of company support of Insurance Institute work.
To provide means of insurance education in other parts of Canada where it is needed.
As initially stated in the resolutions establishing The Insurance Institute of Canada, the purpose of the organization was "to co-operate with all organisations, both insurance and educational, in the interests of insurance education, all to the end that the service of the business to the insuring public and to Canada generally will be maintained and enhanced, and the efficiency, progress and general development of the business will be promoted." A contemporary example of co-operating with other industry organizations to further insurance education can be found on the website of the Insurance Bureau of Canada (IBC), a trade organization for Canada's home, auto and business insurers.
1998 – The CIP Society was officially sanctioned and the new designations were approved.
2002 – 50th anniversary celebration for the Insurance Institute.

Tucker Barnhart
|
Tucker Jackson Barnhart (born January 7, 1991) is an American professional baseball catcher in the Los Angeles Dodgers organization. He has previously played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Cincinnati Reds, Detroit Tigers, and Chicago Cubs. He made his MLB debut in 2014 and won the Gold Glove Award in 2017 and 2020.
Early life
Barnhart was born in Indianapolis, the son of Kevin and Pam Barnhart, and brother to Paige. When Tucker was 11, the family moved west of Indianapolis to Brownsburg, Indiana. He attended Brownsburg High School and played for the school's baseball team. As a junior in 2008, he hit .500 and was named to the Louisville Slugger High School All-American team. In his senior year at Brownsburg, he was named "Mr. Baseball" for the state of Indiana.
Prior to his senior season, Barnhart committed to attend the Georgia Institute of Technology on a baseball scholarship to play for the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
Professional career
Minor leagues (2009–2013)
Heading into the 2009 Major League Baseball draft, Baseball America rated Barnhart as the best available player from Indiana. Due to his commitment to Georgia Tech, he fell to the 10th round, when he was chosen by the Cincinnati Reds with the 299th overall selection. Barnhart opted to sign with the Reds, rather than enroll at Georgia Tech.
In 2010, Barnhart played for the Billings Mustangs of the Rookie-level Pioneer League. In 2011, he played for the Dayton Dragons of the Single–A Midwest League. He spent the 2012 season with the Bakersfield Blaze of the High–A California League and Pensacola Blue Wahoos of the Double–A Southern League. He played for Pensacola in 2013, and was named a Southern League All-Star. The Reds added Barnhart to their 40-man roster on November 20, 2013.
Cincinnati Reds (2014–2021)
With Devin Mesoraco beginning the 2014 season on the disabled list, Barnhart made the Reds' 2014 Opening Day roster, as a backup to Brayan Peña. Barnhart made his major league debut on April 3 against the St. Louis Cardinals. Starting at catcher (with Homer Bailey the starting pitcher) and batting eighth, he went 0-for-4 with one strikeout. Two days later, he got his first big-league hit, a single off New York Mets pitcher Dillon Gee; for the game, Barnhart went 2-for-4.
Barnhart was optioned to the Louisville Bats of the Triple–A International League on April 7, when Mesoraco was activated. He was later recalled by the Reds, and on May 1, he hit his first major league home run, a fifth-inning solo shot off the Milwaukee Brewers' Marco Estrada. He was optioned back to Louisville on May 18. On July 6, with Peña on the paternity list and also forced to play more at first base due to injuries, the Reds recalled Barnhart. Barnhart was optioned back to Louisville on July 11.
Due to injuries to Mesoraco, Barnhart started 67 games at catcher for the Reds in 2015 and 108 games in 2016. On September 22, 2017, Barnhart signed a four-year contract extension with the Reds, worth $16 million, plus a $7.5 million club option for the 2022 season. He led National League catchers in wins above replacement and caught stealing percentage. He also led the major leagues in runners caught stealing (32). After the 2017 season, he won his first Gold Glove Award.
In June 2019, he suffered a moderate abdominal and oblique strain, and was placed on the injured list. In late August 2019, he gave up switch hitting and became a left-handed hitter.
In 2020 for the Reds, Barnhart played in 38 games, batting .204/.291/.388 with five home runs and 13 RBIs. After the season, he was rewarded the Gold Glove Award for NL catchers, the second Gold Glove Award of his career. On May 7, 2021, Barnhart caught Wade Miley's no-hitter. He finished the 2021 season batting .247/.317/.368 with 7 home runs and 48 RBIs in 116 games.
Detroit Tigers (2022)
On November 3, 2021, the Reds traded Barnhart to the Detroit Tigers for Nick Quintana. On November 7, the Tigers exercised the $7.5 million option for Barnhart for the 2022 season. Barnhart batted .221 with a .554 on-base plus slugging in 94 games for the Tigers in 2022.
Chicago Cubs (2023)
On December 29, 2022, Barnhart signed a two-year, major league contract worth $6.5 million with the Chicago Cubs. In 44 games for the Cubs, he batted .202 with one home run and nine RBI. On August 19, 2023, Barnhart was designated for assignment by Chicago. He was released by the Cubs the next day.
Los Angeles Dodgers
On August 30, 2023, Barnhart signed a minor league contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. He hit .227 in seven games for the Triple-A Oklahoma City Dodgers.

Zenos Ramsey Miller (13 September 1895 – 22 July 1922) was an American pursuit pilot and a flying ace in World War I.
Biography
Born in Pao Ting Fu, China, Miller joined the Air Service, United States Army in 1917 during World War I. After pilot training in the United States, Lieutenant Miller was assigned to the 27th Aero Squadron, 1st Pursuit Group, First Army Air Service on 24 November 1917. Scoring his first two victories on the afternoon and evening of 16 July 1918, Miller shot down an enemy balloon over Gland and later forced down a second balloon while dogfighting three Fokkers. He scored a third victory shooting down a Fokker D.VII on 19 July.
During his tour of duty, he had the bad luck to decapitate a French worker who had been cutting the grass at Toul (Gengault Aerodrome) when he flew in to land after one patrol, and after another he accidentally set fire to his own aircraft which was destroyed along with the canvas hangar it was in.
On 20 July 1918, he took off on a combat patrol he shot down two enemy aircraft, becoming his total to five, and becoming an air ace. However, the flight ran into severe weather which caused three SPAD S.XIIIs to crash inside enemy territory. Two of the pilots were killed; Lt. Miller survived but was made a Prisoner of War (POW). Upon returning from the POW camp his report of the last flight was confirmed.
After the war he was demobilized he entered Princeton University and became a doctor. In 1921, a friend of his, Dr. Clarence Gamble, had purchased an old Savoia-Marchetti plane and was attempting to make a transcontinental flight from Boston to Pasadena, California. On 22 July 1922, shortly before the flight, Miller, his brother Ralph, and Gamble were flying over Boston "for a last look at the scene of their medical studies and were returning to the filed preparatory to setting out on the first leg of their journey" when the aircraft went into a spin and crashed into a swamp near Framingham, Massachusetts, killing Miller.

Independence or Death (painting)
|
The 1888 painting Independence or Death (Independência ou Morte in Portuguese), also known as the Cry of Ipiranga (Grito do Ipiranga in the original), is the main artwork representing the proclamation of the Brazilian independence.
Author
Pedro Américo was born in 1843, in the Paraíba Province of Brazil, more specifically in the now municipality of Areia, at the time the small town of Brejo d'Areia. Since his youth, he showed a vocation for painting, being 10 years old when he participated as a drawer of flora and fauna in a scientific expedition through Northeastern Brazil led by the French naturalist Louis Jacques Brunet. At approximately 13 years old, he entered the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts, in the city of Rio de Janeiro. His performance at the academy made him known even to Emperor Pedro II, who sponsored a trip to Paris and studies at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts, where the artist perfected his style, mainly in historical painting. His most famous work, Independence or Death (Portuguese: ), was shown for the first time in the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze (Academy of Fine Arts of Florence) on April 8, 1888. After going to Brazil, remaining there for a few years, he returned to Florence, where he died in 1905.
Context
Pre-execution agreements
Contrarily to what is speculated, Pedro Américo was not invited to execute the painting dedicated to the independence: the artist himself offered to do it. In 1885, according to records made by imperial adviser Joaquim Inácio Ramalho, Américo declared to the commission of works, that he would charge himself with making a historical painting in memory of the glorious act of Prince Regent Pedro, proclaiming the Brazilian independence. Américo's proposal was not immediately accepted, due to a lack of funds and the architecture of the building that would in the future become the Museu Paulista. In December of the same year, the newspaper A Província de São Paulo published an article criticising the government's behaviour, accusing it of giving false hopes to the artist, considered at the time a master of aesthetics.
It is thought that the media's provocations caused the panel in charge of approving or rejecting Américo's request to change its mind. Towards the end of December 1885, Pedro Américo receives a letter from Ramalho accepting his offer.
In a contract signed on July 14, 1886, between Pedro Américo e Ramalho, at the time president of the Commission of the Monument to the Independence of Brazil, the artist committed himself to painting, accordingly to the description of the documents, a "commemorative historical painting of the proclamation of independence by prince regent D. Pedro in the fields of Ypiranga" (Portuguese: ). The deadline for the painting of the work would be three years, and Américo would be paid thirty contos de réis, in addition to the six that the artist received when he signed the contract, money destined to the first studies and preparatory activities for the work. Entirely painted in Florence, it was finished a year before due, in 1888.
History
Américo finished the painting in 1888 in Florence, Italy, 66 years after the proclamation of independence. The Brazilian imperial house commissioned the work, due to investments into the construction of the Museu do Ipiranga (presently the Museu Paulista). The goal of the artwork was to emphasize the monarchy.
Controversy
There exists evidence that the painting is not an accurate description of the events on the shores of the Ipiranga Brook.
Plagiarism accusation
Pedro Américo as a copier
The painting by Pedro Américo can be compared with other works made by different artists. That resulted in plagiarism accusations to the painter. In his work, Américo creates a dialogue between art history and the traditional battle paintings that emphasised the hero (previously made by his teachers). The process of making the painting was complex. The dialogue with historical paintings was well regarded by the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts, in addition to being a technique used by many artists, without being considered a copy. He intended to develop an image that reminded of those works from the past accordingly to the techniques that were used by those artists.
The experience he had 10 years earlier, with his work Batalha do Avaí, that was not well received by critics, classifying it as "anti-academical" (Portuguese: ), made him study in more depth aesthetic topics and publish the literary work Discurso Sobre o Plágio na Literatura e na Arte (Discourse On Plagiarism in Literature and Art) in 1879, years before beginning Independência ou Morte.
The works by French painters Jean-Louis Ernest Meissonier and Horace Vernet were used as sources for Independência ou Morte. Américo studied the works Napoleon III at the Battle of Solferino (1863) and 1807, Friedland (), both by Meissonier and also Bataille de Friedland, 14 juin 1807 (), by Vernet. There are similarities between the paintings: the confrontation between D. Pedro and the soldiers to the right has composition similar to the structure of 1807, Friedland: the concentration of people in both paintings is similar; the elevation of D. Pedro to a higher point in the topography approaches the work of Américo to those of Meissonier. In addition, it can be deduced that Américo wished to portray D. Pedro as a statesman, as can be noticed when analysing the figure of Napoleon in the work of Meissonier.
The historian Lilia Moritz Schwarcz quotes in his book Batalha do Avaí – A Beleza da Barbárie (Battle of Avaí - The Beauty of Barbarism), that the critics of the work by Pedro Américo saw in both A Batalha do Avaí, as in Independência ou Morte, two "brazen" (Portuguese: ) cases of plagiarism of the painters Andrea Appiani and Ernest Meissonier, respectively. According to the historian, the critics saw in Independência ou Morte, a whole scene copy of 1807, Friedland, painted thirteen years earlier by Meissonier, "in which he also portrays Napoleon, a polyvalent figure that serves as a model for Américo to paint both Caxias and D. Pedro I, this one giving the cry of independence at the bank of the Ipiranga" (Portuguese: ).
According to the art historian Maraliz de Castro, the work by Américo has major differences from the paintings by Meissonier, saying the Brazilian concerns himself with every detail, searching for a balance between all the elements, with the goal of creating a significant impression of unity, while in Napoleon III at the Battle of Solferino, the Frenchman wished to simulate an instantaneous photography of reality differently from the carefully organised figures in Independência ou Morte. According to Maraliz, another difference is the movement in the painting by Meissonier: the soldiers run frenetically in direction to the viewer; however Américo composes a form in ellipsis to make up all the characters of the scene, uniting them to the use of perspective. In the other hand, according to the art historian Cláudia Valladão, these details reaffirm the traditional values of Américo, as however he agreed with the group of theoreticians at the time called "idealists", his artistic position was directed at a dialogue with the "realist" tendencies of historical painting, as used by a variety of artists at the time, for example Meissonier. There was also an contemporary accusation of plagiarism published in 1982 by the journalist Elio Gaspari, in his column in the magazine Veja, also refuted by Cláudia Valladão, that comments on the publication: "accusing Pedro Américo of plagiarism is not understand the assumptions of his art" (Portuguese: .
Inspiration pictures
Pedro Américo used some historical paintings as references to compose the artwork Independência ou Morte.
Comparing Américo's painting with A Proclamação da Independência by François-René Moreaux, one realizes that the latter includes many more civilians than the Brazilian in his artwork. The characters in Moreaux's painting look at the sky. Consequently, the emperor is portrayed as a figure fulfilling a divine will by proclaiming independence, not as someone with leadership and political abilities, as done by Américo.
In contrast, the works Independência ou Morte and Retrato de Deodoro da Fonseca from the painter Henrique Bernardelli (which represents the officer declaring the end of the monarchy and the beginning of the republic in Brazil) complete one another: both complied to the interests of the 1889 republic and reaffirmed that historical changes in Brazil were marked by heroes and grandiose events. They illustrate independence and are effective in its propaganda, even if they don't question the new Brazilian autonomy with veracity.
Furthermore, Bernardelli's painting portrays the event in an epic and idealized manner, as in Pedro Américo's artwork. Deodoro, in reality, was sick and constantly bed-ridden, with a chronic lack of air caused by Arteriosclerosis. Accordingly, to reports by the lawyer Francisco Glicério, who participated in the Proclamation of the Republic, the marshal barely had enough strength to put on his uniform. Unlike what is shown in the painting, he was weak and staggering, not being able to stay on top of his horse.
Legacy
Diffusion in didactic books, monuments and digital media
The painting by Pedro Américo appears constantly in Brazilian didactic books, therefore becoming a "canonical image" (Portuguese: ) in the teaching of history in Brazil. A study with children has shown that in part due to the influence of the illustrations in didactic books, they represented the act of independence inspired by the graphical reference of Independência ou Morte. In the books, the painting is used to illustrate the act of founding the Brazilian nationality, showing that the transition to independence is the result of a cry. That common interpretation, represents the cry of Ipiranga as a direction, in a personalised act and centralised in the monarch.
The importance of the work by Pedro Américo, the official portrayal of independence, resulted in it influencing other works, among which the pediment of the Monument to the Independence of Brazil, which emulates the work of Américo.
The painting by Pedro Américo is part of the collection available in the project Google Arts & Culture. The work was digitalised as a gigapixel image with Google's Art Camera, to record details in the work that are imperceptible to the naked eye. Independência ou Morte is the largest painting to be digitalised by Google in Brazil.
Influence on painting
The work by Pedro Américo became the reference, sometimes to be deconstructed, of the portrayal of Brazilian Independence. Creating an alternate version to that of the heroism and triumphalism of Dom Pedro, portrayed by Américo, set the tone, for example, for the production of highlighted works in expositions celebrating the Independence Centenary, as (Session of the State Council), by Georgina de Albuquerque, and (First hearing of Independence Anthem), by Augusto Bracet. In the painting by Albuquerque, the protagonist of the declaration of independence becomes Maria Leopoldina, in a scene where she is shown deliberating with the Council of the Attorneys-general of the Provinces of Brazil the direction to Dom Pedro to end the colonisation of Brazil by Portugal; in the painting by Bracet, Dom Pedro appears as the protagonist of the separation from Portugal, but in a domestic setting and in a jovial attitude, composing the (Independence Anthem).

Bowling (solitaire)
|
Bowling Solitaire is a patience or solitaire card game that uses a single deck standard playing cards to simulate a round of ten-pin bowling.
Two completely different games of Bowling Solitaire were created independently of each other. One was published in the book A Gamut of Games by Sid Sackson in 1969. The other was featured in a computer game by Sierra Online in 1988.
Sid Sackson's Bowling Solitaire (1969)
This solitaire game was designed by Sid Sackson, and published in his book A Gamut of Games (1969). Sackson wrote that he created the game because of his distaste for traditional solitaire games in which a red 9 is placed on a black 10. Besides being popular with modern hobby gamers, Bowling Solitaire has been published as a separate game, and has also been implemented with a digital port.
Rules
Setup: Bowling Solitaire uses the Ace through 10 from two suits. From a shuffled pile of these 20 cards, ten cards representing the "pins" are randomly placed face-up in the same pattern as the pins are arranged for a normal game of ten pin bowling. Three "bowling ball" piles of face-down cards (five, three, and two cards respectively) are also dealt.
Game-play: The top card of all bowling ball piles is turned face up, one of which is selected to "bowl" at the ten face-up pins. A single pin card can be removed if it matches the number on this ball card. Alternatively two or three pin cards that are adjacent can be removed if the final digit of their total value corresponds to the value of the bowling ball card used. Some restrictions apply (e.g. you can't use the very first ball card played to knock over any pins in the back row; pins knocked over must be adjacent).
The next card in the bowling ball pile used is turned face up, and another of the three face-up bowling ball cards is used in the same manner, until no further plays are possible.
Scoring: Removing all ten pins in this way counts as a strike, and concludes the frame. If a strike is not achieved, the top cards from all the ball piles are discarded, and play continues by turning over new cards on each of the piles. This action represents using a second bowling ball. Successfully removing all ten pins with these new cards also concludes the frame and counts as a spare. In the event all ten pins are not knocked over with this continued play, and if no further moves are possible, the frame is concluded with the number of pins removed representing the number of pins knocked over.
To begin a new frame, the 20 cards are shuffled and the process is repeated. A complete game consists of ten such frames. Scoring otherwise works exactly the same as it does in actual ten pin bowling.
Versions
Although Bowling Solitaire was created to be a solitaire game played with a standard deck of playing cards, its popularity led to a version with custom cards. This was published by Eagle-Gryphon Games in 2016, and was included along with their game Elevenses for One.
A digital port using Java was created by Timothy S. Adam.
Sierra Online's Bowling Solitaire (1988)
This solitaire game was designed by Warren Schwader and featured in the 1988 computer game Hoyle: Official Book of Games Vol 2: Solitaire by Sierra Online. It has subsequently been implemented on several websites and programs that implement digital versions of solitaire games. The object of the game is to try to fill as many Pins as possible for each of the ten frames.
Rules
Setup: Bowling has ten "Pin Piles". Two "Ball Piles" located below the deck can contain up to three cards each. The scoring frame is located either above or below the gameplay.
Game-play: To begin playing, turn up one card at a time from the deck. The card turned up must be planted on one of the Pin Piles, or placed onto one of the Ball Piles. All the Pin Piles should be filled in order from lowest ranking cards (towards the bottom) to the highest ranking cards (towards the top right). There are only ten Pins, but there are thirteen ranks of cards. The difficult part of this game is anticipating what ranks will not be drawn from the Deck.
Here is an example of a possible arrangement:
9 _ Q K
5 _ 7
2 4
A
Only a ten or a Jack can be placed onto the empty Pin between the nine and Queen. Only a six can fill the empty space between the five and seven. Place multiple cards of the same rank into the same piles. If a three or an eight is drawn, they must be put in the Ball Pile because it cannot be placed with the Pins.
Scoring: Bowling Solitaire is scored the same way regular ten-pin bowling is scored. To get a strike, fill all the Pins before placing a card in the Ball Pile. To receive a spare, fill all Pins before placing cards into the second Ball Pile. Otherwise, points are scored by the amount of spaces filled before both Ball Piles are filled. After both Ball Piles have been filled with three cards each, that round of the game will end. The game consists of ten rounds.

Hus' House (Vršovice)
|
The Hus' House or Husův sbor is a Hussite church in the Vršovice area of Prague. This building was one of the first buildings in Prague built from pre-stressed concrete and brick panels. It was built in less than a year and includes a "lighthouse" tower topped with symbol of Hussite church, a chalice and a cross.
History
The Hus' House was built in 1930 using the novel material of pre-stressed concrete. The beginning of that build began with the formation of a committee in 1921 to create this church. The land for the building had previously been used for a coaching inn and a blacksmith. The emerging local Hussite group received national recognition in 1923 and their work led to the appointment of Karel Truksta. Truksta was an architect trained in Prague and it was his role to not only make the design but also the specification for builders to quote for the work.
An unusual foundation stone was laid on 29 September 1929, as the stone had an association with the church reformer Jan Hus who had been burnt for his beliefs in 1415. The stone came from Kozí Hrádek castle near Sezimovo Ústí where Hus had preached of his ideas that led to the formation of the Hussite Church. The main contractor was the builder Václav Nekvasil who was told in March 1930 that they needed to complete the build that year. This was achieved on 21 December when the opening was celebrated.
The design included a theatre that seated almost 300 people with space for an orchestra, dressing rooms and make-up and offices. Other activities in the building include a film club, lectures and other cultural activities. The theatre brings in an income and the multi-function building also included accommodation for pensioners and part of the space is let to the branch of a bank. This income pays for maintaining the building and its columbarium as well as contributing to the wider aims of the church.
An Alois Jirásek Theatre was based here although Jirásek had died in 1930. The theatre group was so successful that they credit the closing of the nearby theatre in Vinohrady to their success. The company became known for plays and for opera. The theatre closed in the 1960s due to pressures from the communist authorities who were unhappy with a religious body being involved with a theatre. There have been attempts to relaunch the theatre but the city have said that a prospective company would need to find external funding.
The design of the tower was a collaboration with Pavel Janák who designed the other nearby Hussite church in Vinohrady. It is topped at by a chalice which is a key symbol of the Hussite church as well as a cross. There is an extended floor near the top of the tower which is surrounded by the four large glass panels. The design for the tower has four tall thin shuttered windows. The tower was intended to be seen as a "ship's lantern" which symbolises a "lighthouse" pointing the way to eternity.

Chunnakam market massacre
|
The Chunnakam market massacre was a massacre of Sri Lankan Tamil civilians by the Sri Lankan military in Chunnakam, a suburb of Jaffna in the Northern Province, Sri Lanka in 1984. This was the second such massacre carried out in the town, during the same year after 20 Tamil youth were massacred by the Sri Lankan military at the local Police station just two months earlier.
Massacre
The Chunnakam market, one of the busiest in the island's north is situated 7 km from Jaffna town on the Kankesanturai road. This is a central market, where agricultural produce grown in the districts of Jaffna, Kilinochchi etc. would be brought for sale.
On 28 March 1984, personnel belonging to the Sri Lankan military arrived at the market and the town's bus stop in tanks and jeeps and opened fire at the crowd in both these places. Eight civilians were shot dead, and over 50 were injured. The military then proceeded to set fire to the market and burnt down all of the shops contained within it.
The military then left the location, and drove through Mallakam and Tellipalai along the Kankesanturai road. Here, they started shooting at everyone, who came within their sight. At least one civilian was killed, and female students in Tellipalai, who were returning home from school after completing their examinations were assaulted. Consequently, 26 students were injured. And another than 20 civilians belonging to these two villages were also injured.

Rovello bianco
|
Rovello bianco or Greco Muscio is a white Italian wine grape variety that is grown in the Campania region of southern Italy. While the grape has been described in wine literature since 1875, the variety was on the verge of extinction until a collaboration by the University of Naples Federico II and University of Palermo along with a local wine grower in Taurasi help revive the variety with new plantings in 2003.
History and relationship with other grapes
Rovello bianco was first described growing in the Campanian province of Avellino in 1875 where it was locally known as Greco Muscio. Despite the similarities in synonyms, DNA profiling in the early 21st century has shown that Rovello bianco has no known genetic relationship with the either the white or dark berried Greco grapes or any of the other Italian varieties (such as Maceratino, Grechetto, Pignoletto, Fortana and Erbaluce) that share Greco as a synonym.
Like many Italian varieties, the phylloxera epidemic of the late 19th century followed by the political and economic turmoil of the 20th century World Wars saw a dramatic decrease in plantings that almost lead to the variety's extinction. But a collaboration between the Universities of Palermo and Naples Federico II along with the help of a local Taurasi wine grower lead to new plantings of Rovello bianco in 2003.
Wine regions
Rovello bianco is found almost exclusively in the province of Avellino in Campania. In the communes of Taurasi, Bonito and Mirabella Eclano centenarian old vine plantings of the variety still exist and are used in commercial wine production.
Styles
According to Master of Wine Jancis Robinson, varietal examples of Rovello bianco (also known as Grecomusc) tend to have high levels of acidity with aroma notes of green citrus fruit and ash.
Synonyms
Over the years, Rovello bianco has been known under a variety of synonyms including: Roviello, Rovello, Greco Muscio and Grecomusc.

Sena Jeter Naslund
|
Sena Jeter Naslund (born June 28, 1942) is an American writer. She has published seven novels and two collections of short fiction. Her 1999 novel, Ahab's Wife, and her 2003 novel, Four Spirits, were each named a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. She is the Writer in Residence at University of Louisville and the program director for the MFA in Writing at Spalding University in the same city. In 2005, Governor Ernie Fletcher named Naslund Poet Laureate of Kentucky.
Biography
Sena Kathryn Jeter was born in Birmingham, Alabama in 1942 to Marvin Luther Jeter, a physician, who died when she was 15, and Flora Lee (Sims) Jeter, a music teacher.
In 1964 she earned a bachelor's degree from Birmingham-Southern College. She completed her Master of Arts and PhD at the Iowa Writer's Workshop at the University of Iowa.
Thematically, much of Naslund's work explores women who are "marginalized or misunderstood." In the bestselling Ahab's Wife, for instance, Stacey D'Erasmo suggests
"Naslund has taken less than a paragraph's worth of references to the captain's young wife from Herman Melville's Moby-Dick and fashioned from this slender rib not only a woman but an entire world. That world is a looking-glass version of Melville's fictional seafaring one, ruled by compassion as the other is by obsession, with a heroine who is as much a believer in social justice as the famous hero is in vengeance."
She lives in Louisville, Kentucky, at St. James Court, in the former home of Kentucky poet Madison Cawein.

Elevation Burger
|
Elevation Burger is an American fast casual restaurant chain that specializes in organic hamburgers. The company originated in Falls Church, Virginia, within the Washington Metropolitan Area. They have over 40 locations operating in the United States, Bahrain, Kuwait & Qatar.
History
The initial idea of an organic fast casual restaurant was conceived in 2002 by founder and owner Hans Hess. He opened the first restaurant in September 2005, in Falls Church, Virginia, and was called "the first organic burger joint" by Saveur magazine. The meat for non-vegetarian burgers is USDA-certified organic, grass fed, free range beef.
In Spring 2008, Elevation Burger decided to expand from its original location through franchising with the help of Fransmart the company behind the franchise success of a competitor.
Subsequently, they announced franchising deals for new restaurants in the Washington Metropolitan Area (April 2008), Baltimore, Maryland (September 2008), Austin, Texas (October 2008), Montclair, New Jersey (November 2008), Florida (March 2009), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (May 2009), New York City (May 2009), and Dallas, Texas (June 2009). All stores in Florida, Michigan & Texas have since closed.
Elevation Burger's corporate parent and founder appeared in a June 2009 The Wall Street Journal article as one of the companies recently targeted by fake Twitter profiles. The respective Twitter profile, created in the name of Elevation Burger but promoting a rival, was discovered in March 2009, then suspended after a letter from Hess's lawyer.
On June 20, 2019, Nations Restaurant News reported that Elevation was acquired by Fat Brands for $10 million.
In mid-March 2020, like many other restaurants, indoor dine-ins were shut down. Take-away, drive-thru or pick-up service are the only options customers can place orders.
Awards and innovative ideas
The buildings of the Elevation Burger chain typically pursue LEED certification regulated by United States Green Building Council.
Reception
Elevation Burger was named as one of fast rising casual restaurant chains, catering to health-conscious clients. Its restaurants were praised for the quality of their food and they were included among the local attractions and best restaurants of Washington D.C., Baltimore, and other cities.

Frank Gravino

Frank John Gravino (January 29, 1923 - April 5, 1994) was a longtime minor league baseball outfielder who played from 1940 to 1942 and from 1946 to 1954. Known as the "greatest slugger in Northern League history," he hit .292 with 271 home runs and a .583 slugging percentage in his 12-year career.
Gravino signed with the St. Louis Cardinals and began his career as a 17-year-old pitcher in 1940. Playing for the Class-D Williamson Red Birds that year, he was 10-5 with a Mountain State League-leading 133 walks (in 130 innings pitched) and a 4.57 ERA in 25 games on the mount. He hit .227 with two home runs in 39 games at the plate. The following year, with Williamson and the Class-D Batesville Pilots, he hit .218 with two home runs in 62 games. He only pitched for Batesville that season and had a 3-5 record with a 6.75 ERA in 14 games. He hit .198 with no home runs in 52 games for the Class-D Albany Cardinals in 1942, but was 13-9 with a 3.52 ERA in 28 pitching appearances. He did not play professionally from 1943 to 1945 due to World War II.
He returned to the Cardinals system in 1946 and hit .339 with 30 doubles, 15 triples, 21 home runs and a .628 slugging percentage for the Class-D Hamilton Cardinals and Class-B Allentown Cardinals. The next season, in 115 games split between the Class-C Winston-Salem Cardinals (104 games) and Class-A Omaha Royals (11 games), Gravino hit .299 with 16 home runs. He hit .277 with 18 home runs and 74 RBI for the Triple-A Rochester Red Wings in 1948 and in 1949, in a year split between the Class-A Columbus Cardinals and Omaha, he hit .273 with seven home runs in 70 games.
He left the Cardinals system following the 1949 season and played in the Panamanian Professional Baseball League that winter. He then played in unaffiliated baseball in 1950 and 1951. In 1950, he hit .252 with 18 home runs in 80 games split between the Class-C St. Jean Braves and Class-B St. Petersburg Saints, finishing second, behind Silvio Garcia, in the Provincial League in home runs. He had his first of four straight 35-plus home run seasons in 1951, hitting .289 with 42 home runs in 121 games for St. Jean. He led the Provincial League in home runs and was second in total bases (284) and slugging percentage (.627), behind Joseph Monteiro and Johnny Davis, respectively. Gravino spent most of 1952 with the unaffiliated Class-C Fargo-Moorhead Twins, but began year with the Class-B Cedar Rapids Indians in the Cleveland Indians system. Overall, he hit .280 with 37 home runs in 121 games. He led the Northern League in home runs, RBI (108) and slugging percentage (.643) and made the Northern League All-Star team that season.
With Fargo-Moorhead - now an Indians affiliate - again in 1953, Gravino hit .352 with 52 home runs, 174 RBI, 12 triples, 369 total bases and a .783 slugging percentage in 125 games. He led the Northern League in home runs (the second place finisher had 18), RBI, slugging percentage and total bases. He set league records in home runs and RBI. He placed behind Horace Greenwood in hits with 166, finished behind Santo Luberto in batting average, tied for second in games played and tied for third in triples. His hot hitting helped propel the Twins to a league pennant that season and earned him league MVP honors. Also of note, he played alongside Roger Maris in the outfield that season. He returned to the Twins in 1954 and hit .301 with a record-breaking 56 home runs, 354 total bases and a .707 slugging percentage in 135 games, again leading the Twins to a pennant. Once again, he led the Northern League in hits, slugging percentage and total bases while outnumbering the home run outputs of four entire Northern League teams that season. Despite putting up league-leading numbers in 1954, deteriorating eyesight forced him to end his career prematurely.
Overall, Gravino hit .292 with 1,144 hits, 199 doubles, 64 triples, 271 home runs and a .583 slugging percentage in 1,148 games. He hit over 20 home runs five times and exceeded the .300 batting mark thrice.
He was born in Newark, New York and died in Rochester, New York.
