Jungle Mystery | Production | Production
The film is noteworthy for its extensive use of stock footage of various jungle animals, many of them repeated frequently throughout the serial. (There's even a shot of tigers, which are not native to Africa.) Apart from one sequence filmed in Bronson Canyon, it was shot entirely on the Universal backlot and soundstages.
Although it had been believed lost for many years, the original nitrate negative was in fact still in the Universal vaults. It was preserved in 2016 (along with the edited 1935 feature version which ran only 75 minutes) and officially re-premiered at the Cinecon Classic Film Festival in Hollywood, CA during the 2016 Labor Day weekend. |

Maryland Route 131 | Short description | Maryland Route 131 (MD 131) is a state highway located in Baltimore County in the U.S. state of Maryland. Known as Seminary Avenue, the state highway runs from MD 25 in Brooklandville east to MD 45 in Lutherville. MD 131 was mostly constructed by 1910, with the remainder completed in the early 1920s. |

thumb|right|View west along MD 131 at I-83 in Lutherville
MD 131 begins at a four-way intersection with MD 25 (Falls Road) in Brooklandville. The west leg of the intersection is the entrance to St. Paul's School. MD 131 heads east as a two-lane undivided road through the southern end of the suburban community of Mays Chapel. The state highway passes over Interstate 83 (I-83, Harrisburg Expressway) with no access and enters Lutherville, where the road crosses MTA Maryland's Baltimore Light RailLink at-grade. MD 131 continues through the Lutherville Historic District and intersects Bellona Road before reaching its eastern terminus at MD 45 (York Road). Seminary Avenue continues east as a county highway that intersects MD 146 (Dulaney Valley Road) and passes through Hampton before ending at Providence Road. |
Maryland Route 131 | History | History
Seminary Avenue was paved from Brooklandville east to the rail crossing—then part of the Northern Central Railway—by 1910. The remainder of the highway was paved by 1923. The bridge that carries Seminary Avenue over I-83 has a bronze dedication plaque for the highway construction project. Aside from that construction around 1954, there has been very little change to MD 131 since then.

Sheboygan Christian School | Use mdy dates |
Sheboygan Christian School is a state and nationally accredited, independent, 3K-12th grade Christian School. Each day SCS serves more than 500 students from over 300 families residing in Sheboygan, Manitowoc and Calumet counties. SCS families represent over 50 different churches. |
Sheboygan Christian School | History | History
Established in 1971, Sheboygan County Christian High School was founded by parents who wished for secondary education taught with a Biblical worldview. Its original location was inside a church on the outskirts of Sheboygan. The school has been overseen by an association of Christian parents committed to training their children in keeping with the teachings of the Holy Bible and governed by an elected board of trustees. It has grown to its present location at 929 Greenfield Avenue, on the south side of Sheboygan.
In December 2015, the associations of Sheboygan County Christian High School and Sheboygan Christian School (a pre-kindergarten through 8th grade school on the city's north side) voted to merge. With the merger, the two schools merged both their associations and boards of trustees. Another addition was built onto the high school campus, and the K-8 school moved into the new wing, beginning with the 2021–22 school year. |
Sheboygan Christian School | Curriculum | Curriculum
The school day consists of eight periods of 45 minutes each, during which all students are required to take six courses. Courses in the arts, business education and applied arts are combined with more traditional offerings. The school year of 180 days consists of two semesters, each divided into two nine-week marking periods. A final exam is administered at the end of each semester.
The school offers advanced placement biology. Some courses are offered through Lakeland College, along with blended learning courses and independent studies opportunities. |
Sheboygan Christian School | Visual learning | Visual learning
Through artistic talents of staff and students, Christian High has large murals in almost every classroom, relating to the subject taught in each classroom. For example, the English room has Shakespearian figures painted on the back wall and the history room has World War I paratroopers landing in the corner. |

Roman Catholic Diocese of Santo Tomas de Guiana | History | History
It was erected by Pope Pius VI on 19 December 1791, and comprised the former state of Bermúdez, districts of Nueva Esparta and Guayana, and territories of Amazonas, Colon, Colón, Orinoco and Yuruary, in the south and east of Venezuela.
The Caribs were Christianized by the early Spanish Franciscan missionaries. The episcopal city, Ciudad Bolívar, was established in 1764 by two Jesuits under the governorship of Joaquín de Mendoza, on the right bank of the Orinoco, and called San Tomás de la Nueva Guayana; but owing to a narrowing of the river was commonly known as Angostura. It played an important part in the national history, and in February 1819 Simón Bolivar was elected president there by the Congress of Colombia; in his honor the city has been renamed Ciudad Bolivar. |

La Ricerca della Lingua Perfetta nella Cultura Europea | Short description | thumb|First edition
La ricerca della lingua perfetta nella cultura europea (The Search for the Perfect Language (the Making of Europe); trans. James Fentress) is a 1993 book by Umberto Eco about attempts to devise an ideal language. The writing is essayistic and uses the myth of Babel as a paradigm for connecting linguistic and social practices. Emphasizing that the quest for a perfect language has never been devoid of ideological motivation, Eco outlines some objections to the idea and suggests that an International Auxiliary Language, such as Esperanto, is a more realistic project. He points out that the impossible quest has had some useful side effects (taxonomy, scientific notations etc.) but dwells mostly on exotic proposals. Lengthy passages are devoted to Dante, Lull, Kircher, various 17th-century authors and a few less well-known names from later times. The contemporary project for a politically and culturally unified Europe provides the perspective for a more serious consideration of the theme. |

The Boston and Sandwich Glass Company was incorporated in 1826 to hold the glass factory built a year earlier in Sandwich, Massachusetts, by Deming Jarves. The factory was closed in 1888 amid disputes with a newly formed glassmakers' labor union.
The factory was one of the earliest to produce pressed glass.
The company was an employer of Nicholas Lutz. Article reprinted at Collectors Weekly, retrieved May 10, 2013. The Sandwich Glass Museum now contains many pieces from the company. |

Margery Brews | Infobox person
| Margery Paston (née Brews or Brewes; died 1495) was an English gentlewoman. She is credited with authoring the first known Valentine love letters in 1477 to her betrothed and future husband John Paston III, which survives in the Paston Letters.Davis, Norman. The Paston Letters: A Selection in Modern Spelling. Oxford University Press, 1983 pp. 233–5. |
Margery Brews | Biography | Biography
Some sources place her birth year in the 1440s and others in the 1450s. Noted for her wit, Margery was the daughter of Sir Thomas Brews or Brewes, of a rising gentry family, and Elizabeth Debenham. Her letters place her in Topcroft, Norfolk, scribed by Thomas Kela, a Brews family servant.
Margery met John Paston III, and the pair began an exchange of letters to one another. John had sought a wife for many years before happening upon Margery. However, their courtship was brought to a halt when Margery's father disapproved of the match as he wanted her to marry wealthier, while the Pastons desired higher than the Brews' dowry offer of no more than £100. Moreover, a further rift was caused by John not seeking permission from his older brother John Paston I to ask for Margery's hand. However, Margery's mother Elizabeth supported the match and began a correspondence with the Pastons. In letter dated circa 10 February 1477, Elizabeth wrote the following, inviting John III to negotiate in person:
Here, Elizabeth links the Feast of Saint Valentine to romantic love. A couple centuries prior, Geoffrey Chaucer had written the poem Parlement of Foules, in which he describes birds seeking their mate mate on that day, believed to have been written amidst the marriage negotiations between Richard II and Anne of Bohemia. Elizabeth's letter appears to reference bird mating season as well.
After the weekend in question, Margery sent two further letters of note. She addresses John as "my right well-beloved Valentine" or "dearly beloved Valentine", and in the second, she signs off as "your Valentine". Margery's letters employ both romantic and practical persuasion, presenting herself as a worthy suitor.
The impasse was resolved, and two months later, John and Margery married. In later letters such as in 1484, Margery calls John her "sweetheart", writes of dreaming about him and desire to be held by him. This suggests Margery and John's affection did not wane, and that they enjoyed a loving marriage. The couple had at least three children: Christopher, believed to have died in childhood, William, and Elizabeth. In 2019, a brass plaque commemorating Anne (or Anna), another daughter of John's, was discovered in Oxnead. Through this, three further siblings of Anne's were discovered: sisters Dorothy and Philippa, and a brother Philip.
Margery passed away in 1495, survived by her husband. She was buried at Whitefriars in Norwich, a now-ruined Carmelite Friary near Whitefriars Bridge. |

Lac des Brenets | Short description | __NOTOC__
Lac des Brenets (Swiss name) or Lac de Chaillexon (French name) is a lake on the river Doubs on the border of Switzerland and France. |
Lac des Brenets | Characteristics | Characteristics
The depression in which the lake lies was formed by the movements of a glacier, while the lake itself was formed by a natural barrier around 12,000 years ago. At the downstream end is a waterfall known as the Saut du Doubs. A few hundred metres away, a bridge connects the French and Swiss sides of the lake.
The lake was effectively dried out completely during the European drought of 2022, causing all ship operations to cease. |

Lil' L.O.V.E. | Use mdy dates | "Lil L.O.V.E." is a song by American hip hop group Bone Thugs-n-Harmony for their studio album Strength & Loyalty (2007). It features singer Mariah Carey and rapper Bow Wow and was released as the second single from the album in 2007. The artists co-wrote the song with Shawntae Harris, James Phillips, and Jermaine Dupri; the latter is also the producer. In the chorus, Carey expresses her need for a 'Lil L.O.V.E' and 'T.I.M.E' from her suspected lover. In the United States, "Lil’ L.O.V.E." was released as a digital download on May 8, 2007. The song was officially released as a single in the U.S. on June 5, 2007. |
Lil' L.O.V.E. | Reviews | Reviews
"Lil L.O.V.E." has received very positive reviews from important industrial magazines and websites.
Cinema Blend expresses, "Mariah Carey and Bow Wow join the cause for "Lil L.O.V.E." Mariah reveals she's still plenty relevant and is not vanishing anytime soon. Bow Wow sounds pleased with himself in the song's background, so good for him."
According to Billboard, “… “Lil L.O.V.E.," featuring a melodious and round duet with Mariah Carey, is their 2007 version of the 1998 hit "Breakdown" …"
Additionally, SoundBytes - News4Jax praises Carey, calling her the main focus of the song. "The group can also show a softer side without stooping to syrupy-ness. Mariah Carey's sensual crooning is the first voice you hear on "Lil L.O.V.E." and before listeners know it, they're hooked and drawn into the midst of a seductive club jam. Dupri, who specializes in such designer dance floor material, helms the song's dense, layered keyboard noodling and synthetic bass pattern that while completely formulaic, could've been a contender on the R&B charts if Carey was its sole focus. Instead, the song's potential is blocked by the Thugs' and Bow Wow's loquaciousness on the mic." |
Lil' L.O.V.E. | Music video | Music video
The video was directed by Chris Robinson who last directed Carey in the video for her single "I Know What You Want" with Busta Rhymes.
In the video are guest appearance of Swizz Beatz and Jermaine Dupri.
The video premiered in BET's 106 & Park on July 5, 2007. |

MANIAC III | Short description | The MANIAC III (Mathematical Analyzer Numerical Integrator and Automatic Computer Model III) was a second-generation electronic computer (i.e., using solid-state electronics rather than vacuum tubes), built in 1961 for use at the Institute for Computer Research at the University of Chicago.
It was designed by Nicholas Metropolis and constructed by the staff of the Institute for Computer Research. Its design was changed to eliminate vacuum tubes, thus it occupied a very small part of a very large and powerfully air-conditioned room. It used 20,000 diodes, 12,000 transistors, and had 16K 48-bit words of magnetic-core memory. Its floating-point multiplication time was 71 microseconds, and division time was 81 microseconds.
The MANIAC III's most novel feature was unnormalized significance arithmetic floating point. This allowed users to determine the change in precision of results due to the nature of the computation.
It weighed about . |

The Lost Special (serial) | short description | The Lost Special is a 1932 American Pre-Code Universal movie serial based on the 1898 short story "The Lost Special" by Arthur Conan Doyle. This adaptation deleted all references to Doyle's Sherlock Holmes character, and moved events to the American Old West.
This was the 84th serial (and the 16th serial with sound) to be released by Universal. |
The Lost Special (serial) | Plot overview | Plot overview
A special train carrying gold bullion is hijacked on its way from the Golconda Mine. Laying down portable tracks, the bandits take the train off the main line, hide it in an abandoned mine shaft, steal the gold, and eradicate their makeshift tracks, leaving a mystery in their wake. Part owner of the mine, Potter Hood, and the railroad president, Horace Moore, search for the mysteriously disappeared train and gold. They are unaware, however, that the criminals are working secretly for Sam Slater, the other partner in the gold mine, who wants to sabotage mine operations enough that he can take over completely. Potter's son, Tom Hood, arrives home from college and determines to solve the mystery with the aid of his pal Bob Collins. They board the gold-shipment special train on its next run. Meanwhile, newspaper reporter Betty Moore – who is niece to the railroad president – and her friend Kate Bland begin their own investigation. After the four youths foil an attempt at a second heist, they join forces. The next 11 chapters show the characters' attempts to locate the "Lost Special" train and identify the ringleader.
Cliff-hanger endings include a runaway car sailing off a cliff into a lake, the heroine's car crashing headlong into an oncoming train and our heroes being trapped by rising water in a dungeon. |

This Man Must Die | Plot | Plot
Returning from the beach, Charles Thénier's young son Michel is killed by a hit-and-run driver in a sports car. Charles vows to have his revenge, keeping a journal in which he states his intention to kill the offender once he finds him.
The police investigation is fruitless. Charles thinks the guilty party may run a garage, since there is no record of a car going in for repairs. By chance, while pursuing this hunch, he discovers that the actress Hélène Lanson was the passenger in a car that was damaged on the day of his son's death. Using his pen-name Marc Andrieux, he seduces her and discovers that the driver was her brother-in-law Paul Decourt. Hélène confesses that she has had depressive anxiety recently. Charles presses her to explain more but couldn't get more information. Eventually he overcomes Hélène's reluctance and arranges a trip for both of them to visit her sister's family in Brittany.
Charles discovers that Paul is detestable, cruel to his wife and hated by his teenage son Philippe. He also observes that Paul is a terrible womanizer and confirms that Hélène once slept with Paul. He has conflicting thoughts as to whether or not he will kill Paul but, although hesitatingly, rescues him from a cliff-fall. Philippe confides to Charles his own desire to kill his father.
Charles decides to kill Paul in a staged sailing accident and buys a boat for that purpose. However, while at sea, Paul pulls a gun on him and reveals that he has read Charles's journal and passed it to his solicitor to take to the police should something happen to him. After returning to the harbour, Paul throws Charles out of his house.
Charles appears to abandon his plan to murder Paul and drives away with Hélène. In a roadside restaurant, a television announcer reports Paul's death from poisoning and appeals for Charles and Hélène to return, which they do. Charles argues with the police that it would be foolhardy for him to kill Paul when he knew the journal would reach them. However, the police puts forward a theory that Charles has planned for the diary to be discovered and to use the argument to deflect their suspicions. Charles was arrested, but the police could not find the poisoned bottle Paul was supposed to die from. (Charles left before Paul was poisoned.) He was released soon after as Philippe confesses to the murder and provides the key evidence (the poisoned medication bottle) as a proof.
Back at their hotel, Charles is weary and promises to tell Hélène the entire story the next day. She wakes to find his note explaining that Philippe has confessed to the crime in order to save him and he (Charles) is the real murderer. He tells her to share his confession with the police and that he will punish himself and never be seen again. While the film shows him sailing oceanward, Charles recites in a voice-over a line from the Vier ernste Gesänge by Johannes Brahms: "For that which befalls man befalls the beast, as the one dies, so dies the other". |
