L'église du Saint-Sacrement est un édifice religieux catholique sis à Bomel, un faubourg-nord de la ville de Namur (Belgique). Construite au début du  pour un quartier en pleine expansion l'église est lieu de culte principal pour les catholiques du quartier de Bomel.

Histoire
Thomas-Louis Heylen OPraem est élu évêque de Namur en 1901. Fervent de la dévotion eucharistique il est bientôt nommé par le pape Léon XIII président du comité permanent des Congrès eucharistiques internationaux. Il s'empresse d'en organiser un dans son diocèse de Namur. Le  Congrès international eucharistique se tient à Namur en 1902.

C'est dans la même ferveur eucharistique que, lorsque le projet d'une église à Bomel, un faubourg en pleine expansion à la sortie nord de la ville de Namur, se concrétise, Thomas-Louis Heylen décide d'en faire un hommage à l'Eucharistie.

Le chantier de l'église est ouvert en 1906 et l'édifice est consacré et ouvert au culte deux ans plus tard. Durant de nombreuses années les services pastoraux furent assurés par une communauté de Chanoines du Latran, jusque vers 1991. L'église est lieu de culte de la communauté catholique de Bomel et des environs.

Description
Bâtiment en forme de croix latine au sol, l'église a son clocher dans l'angle formé par le transept droit avec le sanctuaire.
L'ornementation générale de l'église, et surtout ses vitraux, est nettement eucharistique. Sur toute la façade les trois hautes fenêtres ogivales sont des vitraux illustrants, à gauche et droite des anges agenouillés en adoration devant un grand ostensoir eucharistique. Dans la fenêtre centrale : une gloire eucharistique. Sur des vitraux de murs latéraux de l'église des représentations de sainte Julienne de Cornillon (à qui l'on doit l'institution de la 'Fête-Dieu'), saint Pierre-Julien Eymard (qui conçut l'adoration eucharistique perpétuelle) et saint Pascal Baylon (franciscain du  connu pour sa dévotion eucharistique), l'un portant un ostensoir et l'autre un calice avec le pain eucharistique.

Blood Money is the fifteenth studio album by Tom Waits, released in 2002 on the ANTI- label.

The album contains songs written for the musical Woyzeck, based on the play of the same name by Georg Büchner. The theatrical adaptation was directed by Robert Wilson, with whom Waits had worked on two previous plays: The Black Rider and Alice, both of which resulted in albums. The latter was released simultaneously in 2002 with Blood Money. The play premiered at the Betty Nansen Theatre in Copenhagen in November 2000.

The song "God's Away on Business" was featured in the 2005 film Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room. "All the World is Green" was featured in the 2005 film The Secret Life of Words. "Misery is the River of the World" was featured in The X-Files episode "Babylon", which aired on February 16, 2016. "Starving in the Belly of a Whale" was featured in the film Buster's Mal Heart (2016) as the opening song.

The album ranked at #18 in Metacritic's Top 30 albums of 2002.

As of 2003, Blood Money has sold 143,000 copies in the US, according to Nielsen Soundscan.

Januar 1838 in München). Nach dem Tod seines Vaters 1838 erbte Anton dessen Grundbesitz und Ziegeleien in Bogenhausen. Zunächst leitete er die Geschäfte unter der Aufsicht eines Vormundes. 1841 setzte er einen Verwalter ein, um sich mehr der Kunst widmen zu können. Er gab die Geschäfte jedoch nie völlig aus der Hand.

am 28. Mai 1804 die Maurermeistergerechtigkeit. Dieses Niederlassungsrecht vererbte Joseph Höchl an seine zweite Frau Josepha Widmann, die Schwester von Maurermeister Xaver Widmann (* 1792; † 1859), welche sie am 8. November 1847 an den 1839 geprüften Baumeister Johann Nepomuk Bürkel (* 15. Mai 1812 in Pfaffenhofen an der Ilm dortiges Kirchenbuch 1812, S. 199) für 4000 Gulden verkaufte.

Musiker
Anton Höchl nutzte ab dem 6. Januar 1838 das Höchl-Schlössl auch für Abendmusiken, bei der er Cello, Bratsche oder Flöte spielte, für die Nachbarschaft, zu welcher Max Joseph in Bayern gehörte.

Mäzen
Er vererbte seine Sammlung an die Neue Pinakothek, darunter ein Bild von Eduard Schleich dem Älteren.

Amom Mandel Lins Filho (Recife, 2 de janeiro de 2001), é um empresário, ativista e político brasileiro filiado ao Cidadania. Em 2020, aos 19 anos, foi eleito o vereador mais jovem na história de Manaus. Em 2022, já com 21 anos, foi eleito deputado federal, sendo ao mesmo tempo o mais votado e o mais jovem na história do Amazonas, e tendo ainda a maior votação proporcional do Brasil nas eleições gerais de 2022, com 14,5% dos votos do Amazonas.

Perfil

Amom nasceu no Recife, em Pernambuco, em 2 de janeiro de 2001, sendo filho da magistrada Elza Vitória de Sá Peixoto Pereira de Mello, e do professor universitário e auditor fiscal Amom Mandel Lins, e neto, pelo lado materno, do desembargador Domingos Jorge Chalub, descendente de libaneses.

É enteado de Mário Manoel Coelho de Mello, ex-secretário de Estado de Apoio ao Governo em Brasília e conselheiro do Tribunal de Contas do Estado do Amazonas (TCE-AM), segundo marido de sua mãe. Aos cinco anos, a família mudou-se para Manaus, terra natal de sua mãe, onde reside desde então.

Amom cursa Direito na Universidade Federal do Amazonas (UFAM) e Gestão Pública na Estácio de Sá. É dono de duas empresas, um estacionamento e uma empresa de tecnologia.

Defensor da causa do voluntário, milita pela popularização desse tipo de atividade no país e integra o pool de voluntários da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU) desde 2019. Desde 2015 participa voluntariamente como editor nos projetos da Wikimedia Foundation, como a Wikipédia e o Commons, entre outros.

Em 2015, Amom foi diagnosticado com retocolite ulcerativa, doença autoimune que se reflete numa inflamação no intestino, e tireoidite de Hashimoto, igualmente autoimune, refletida em alterações na tireoide. Ambas as doenças, embora incuráveis, são tratáveis.

Em 24 de março de 2022, Amom foi internado no Hospital Santa Júlia, em Manaus, após complicações causadas por estas doenças, na sequência de fortes dores articulares que dificultavam sua locomoção. O internamento ocorreu após vários exames e consultas com especialistas em reumatologia e gastroenterologia. Pouco antes, Amom havia revelado publicamente ser portador destas doenças crônicas autoimunes, cuja bandeira vinha levantando desde a campanha. Nenhuma outra interrupção na trajetória política por motivos de saúde foi registrada até então.

Atividade política

Amom participa de grupos de ativismo desde os 12 anos, porém se filiou pela primeira vez a um partido politico apenas aos 19 anos. Em abril de 2022, após ter deixado o Podemos e ficar algum tempo sem partido, filiou-se ao Cidadania. Nas suas atividades, Amom prioriza a pauta ambiental, o desenvolvimento sustentável e o trabalho voluntário. Amom é o idealizador do projeto "Galho Forte", criado em 2020, visando tornar Manaus uma cidade mais verde e sustentável. No decorrer da primeira fase do projeto, foram plantadas mais de 7 537 árvores frutíferas na cidade e em comunidades ribeirinhas da região, o equivalente à quantidade de votos recebidos na sua primeira eleição.

Vereador de Manaus

Sua candidatura para a Câmara Municipal de Manaus (CMM) foi motivada, segundo o próprio, pela falta de representatividade em pautas da juventude e do apoio a projetos filantrópicos. Foi eleito pelo Podemos para o cargo nas eleições municipais de 2020 com mais de 7,5 mil votos. Assumiu em 1.º de janeiro de 2021, com apenas 19 anos, sendo o mais jovem vereador eleito na história de Manaus.

Para assumir o cargo de deputado federal, Amom Mandel renunciou ao mandato em 26 de janeiro de 2023. Na CMM, Amom foi substituído por Roberto Sabino, ex-vereador da capital amazonense e primeiro suplente do Podemos (PODE) em 2020.

Adiamento do ENEM

A trajetória como vereador ficou marcada por destaques a nível nacional. Logo nas primeiras semanas de mandato, ganhou na Justiça contra o Governo Federal, conseguindo adiar o Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio (Enem) no Amazonas durante o pico da pandemia de COVID-19 e da crise da falta de oxigênio no Estado. A iniciativa, embora criticada por alguns setores da sociedade, foi motivada, segundo declarações dos autores da ação, pelo aumento de casos de COVID-19 em todo o estado, com mais de 9 mil pessoas infectadas nos cinco dias anteriores, segundo a Fundação de Vigilância em Saúde do Amazonas (FVS).

Denúncias em sequência

Após a ação judicial que adiou o ENEM no Estado, foram apresentadas uma série de denúncias de grande repercussão, como o caso dos "fura-filas" das vacinas em Manaus, igualmente de repercussão nacional, das cestas básicas com itens vencidos encontradas por sua equipe em unidades da Prefeitura de Manaus de todas as zonas da cidade no ano de 2021, das escolas municipais com estrutura precária e alimentos vencidos em Manaus.

Aumento do cotão

Único vereador da sua legislatura não utilizar a Cota para o Exercício da Atividade Parlamentar (CEAP), popularmente conhecida como "cotão", em dezembro de 2021, posicionou-se contra a aprovação repentina do aumento da verba em mais de 83% e ajuizou ação na justiça. A verba, que serve para cobrir gastos com combustível, aluguel de veículos e internet, passou de 18 mil para mais de 33 mil reais por mês na última votação do ano antes do natal. Segundo Amom, o caráter de urgência com que foi feita a votação teria sido uma manobra para impedir a discussão adequada da pauta, facilitando a aprovação. Em 22 de fevereiro de 2022, Amom denunciou assessores parlamentares de vereadores da Casa por estarem divulgando notícias falsas, supostamente em retaliação às investidas contra o "cotão", através do WhatsApp, recorrendo a números de telefone cadastrados fora do país, disseminando conteúdo falso em grupos de conversas virtuais.

Troca de mobiliário

Em março de 2022, posicionou-se contra o que considerou como "gastos excessivos e desnecessários" da Câmara Municipal de Manaus com a substituição do mobiliário, no valor de mais de 3 milhões de reais, mesmo com a troca já realizada na gestão anterior. O móveis foram, segundo veículos de comunicação locais, alegadamente comprados por valores acima dos praticados no mercado. A compra realizada pelo Presidente do órgão foi feita em estabelecimentos cujas propriedades seriam total ou parcialmente de parentes do parlamentar, o que não o impediu de realizar as denúncias na Tribuna.

Produtividade legislativa

Ao longo de sua trajetória na Câmara Municipal de Manaus, Amom obteve a maior produtividade legislativa da história do parlamento proporcionalmente ao tempo do mandato, atingindo a marca de mais de 25% do total de Projetos de Lei, Requerimentos e Indicações Legislativas protocoladas na Câmara Municipal à época. Dentre os Projetos de Lei, estão propostas voltadas aos pacientes com doenças autoimunes como retocolite ulcerativa, tireoidite de Hashimoto ou lúpus eritematoso sistêmico, projetos voltados à transparência, o amparo às comunidades afetadas por inundações, dentre outras pautas. Amom apresentou ainda o PL n.º 097/2022, equiparando pessoas autoimunes a Pessoas com Deficiência, no que diz respeito aos direitos e benefícios sociais, como direito a percentual de vagas reservadas em concursos públicos.

Deputado federal

Anúncio da candidatura e violência

Em meados de 2022, Amom anunciou a candidatura a deputado federal pelo Amazonas, filiado ao Cidadania, contando com o apoio do então candidato do partido ao governo, Amazonino Mendes. Com uma reação conturbada no meio político, dentre outras situações, a eleição foi marcada pela violência. Durante a campanha, a equipe de Amom sofreu um atentado a tiros no bairro Cidade de Deus, na Zona Norte de Manaus, contra um automóvel em que estavam representantes do comitê de campanha, que, segundo as informações oficiais, averiguavam denúncias relacionadas ao transporte coletivo. O veículo estava com adesivos da convenção e da pré-campanha de Amom e foi atingido por um tiro de revólver, sendo por isso sujeito à perícia policial, embora sem vítimas fatais. O boletim de ocorrência foi registrado com as respectivas fotos. Na época, cientistas políticos, chegaram a afirmar, em entrevistas às emissoras locais, que o caso poderia configurar crime político.

Tempo de TV

Amom contou com apenas 1 segundo de tempo de TV, tendo as peças publicitárias sido consideradas algumas das mais inusitadas das eleições naquele ano. Na principal delas, o candidato utilizou o seu único segundo supostamente para o "bem estar" do cidadão ao pedir que o eleitor "beba água". A frase acabou virando um bordão de campanha, com o político afirmando que os adversários teriam que beber água, pois a campanha seria difícil de "engolir".

Fundo eleitoral e gastos de campanha

Amom teve a campanha mais barata dentre os deputados eleitos pelo Amazonas em 2022. Segundo dados disponíveis na plataforma do Tribunal Superior Eleitoral, foram utilizados 478 mil reais para uso na campanha, exclusivamente de doações de pessoas físicas, já que não utilizou recursos do fundo eleitoral. As doações vieram sobretudo de familiares do lado materno, tendo a família Chalub doado 212 mil reais, e sua mãe, Elza Pereira de Mello, outros 36 mil reais. O fato chamou a atenção de opositores e motivou críticas pelo não uso da verba pública.

Ataques hackers

Em 25 de setembro de 2022, a Justiça do Amazonas foi favorável à ação de Amom contra o Facebook após uma série de ataques de perfis falsos e robôs ao Instagram do candidato, entre os dias 13 e 16 do referido mês. O ataque materializou-se através do aumento instantâneo de mais de 25 mil perfis falsos como seguidores, podendo causar a suspensão da conta pela plataforma, por quebra de diretrizes, assim como a diminuição do engajamento de seu perfil, importante métrica utilizada na avaliação do desempenho em ambiente virtual. Efetivamente, apurou-se que o engajamento caiu de 4,25% para 2,32% por publicação. A ação movida por Amom e assinada pelos advogados Frank Menezes e Daniel Sodré foi considerada inédita no Amazonas pela matéria até então inexplorada na esfera judicial.

Notícias falsas

A campanha de Amom a deputado federal foi também marcada pela divulgação de várias notícias falsas a seu respeito. Em 30 de setembro, a justiça eleitoral, por decisão do juiz federal Márcio André Lopes Cavalcante, determinou que vídeos publicados na internet por Márlio Ribeiro, autointitulado "apóstolo da Igreja Assembleia de Deus do Avivamento", com notícias falsas sobre Amom, fossem excluídos, uma vez que poderiam induzir o cidadão ao erro no dia das eleições. Os vídeos, publicados nas redes sociais e grupos de mensagens, afirmavam que Amom seria contra as práticas cristãs, entre outras acusações sem embasamento. Márlio Ribeiro se apresentava, em vídeos divulgados e posteriormente apagados no seu perfil, como cabo eleitoral de um adversário político de Amom na eleição. Um vereador de Manaus, alvo de críticas de Amom por utilizar em excesso o chamado "Cotão" e não realizar prestações de contas complementares à da Câmara Municipal, também havia divulgado notícias falsas contra Amom.

Recorde de votos

Em 2 de outubro de 2022, dia das eleições gerais, Amom arrancou como deputado mais votado ainda com 3% das urnas apuradas no Amazonas, apresentando uma larga vantagem em relação aos adversários e contando, naquele momento, com 25,32% dos votos. Com apenas 73,12% das seções apuradas pelo Tribunal Superior Eleitoral, foi considerado matematicamente eleito, com 288 555 votos quando da apuração final. Foi o deputado federal mais votado e o mais jovem já eleito na história do Amazonas, aos 21 anos, tendo ainda a maior votação proporcional nas eleições gerais de 2022, com 14,5% dos votos do Amazonas. A diferença para o segundo colocado foi de mais do que o dobro dos votos.

Vroman's Bookstore is reportedly the oldest and largest independent bookstore in Southern California.

The store hosts over 400 free community events a year including children's storytimes, trivia nights, craft classes, bake-offs, and launch parties, and has hosted such authors as President Bill Clinton, President Jimmy Carter, Irving Stone, Upton Sinclair, Ray Bradbury, David Sedaris, Salman Rushdie, Walter Mosley, Joan Didion, Barbara Walters, Anne Rice, Neil Gaiman, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, and Bernie Sanders.

Background
Founded in 1894 by Adam Clark Vroman, the original Vroman's Book and Photographic Supply store was located at 60 E. Colorado St in Pasadena, California. Mr. Vroman loved books and loved giving back to his community. Mr. Vroman was also a passionate photographer, specializing in scenes of the American West and his portraits of Native Americans. When Mr. Vroman died in 1916, he left the bookstore to long-time employees.

During World War II, Vroman's donated and delivered books to Japanese Americans interned at nearby camps, such as the Manzanar camp in Owens Valley.

In 2008, Vroman's was named Bookseller of the Year by Publishers Weekly, an international news magazine of book publishing.

In 2009, Vroman's bought another beloved independent bookstore, Book Soup in West Hollywood, after its owner died and the store was in danger of closing.

In 2020, Vroman's Bookstore itself was in danger of closing due to a significant drop in sales resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic.

mozDex was a project to build an Internet-scale search engine with free and open source software (FOSS) technologies like Nutch. Since its search algorithms and code were open, it was hoped that no search results could be manipulated by either mozDex as a company or anyone else. As such, instead of having to trust mozDex to be fair, it puts the trust on the community of users through the same "peer review" process that is believed to enhance security of free software like Linux.

mozDex aimed to make it easy and encourage building upon this open search technology to extend it with various additional potentially useful search related features. Some of the latest features added or announced by mozDex included social bookmarking via free skimpy service, "did you mean" spell checking, anti-spam technology and instant crawl.

As an open search engine, mozDex relied heavily on community feedback and actively solicited user opinions as well as encouraged discussions about various aspects of mozDex's growth.

In 2006, mozDex aimed to add around 15 million pages a day in order to reach the goal of more than 4 billion pages indexed at the end of 2006.

}}Yo! Bum Rush the Show es el álbum debut de la banda estadounidense de hip-hop Public Enemy, lanzado en Estados Unidos el 26 de enero de 1987 por Def Jam Recordings. El logo del grupo, la silueta de un hombre afroamericano en la mira de un rifle, debutó en carátula de este disco. Yo! Bum Rush the Show ofrece un sonido pesado del equipo de producción The Bomb Squad.

El álbum alcanzó el número 125 en la lista Billboard 200 y el número 28 en la lista Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. La revista NME lo nombró el álbum del año 1987 en su encuesta de críticos. El escritor Cheo H. Coker lo ha citado, junto a Licensed to Ill de Beastie Boys (1986) y a Radio de LL Cool J (1985), como uno de los tres discos más influyentes en la historia del hip-hop. En 1998 fue seleccionado como uno de los cien mejores discos de rap según la revista The Source. El 2003 fue ubicado en el puesto número 497 de los 500 mejores álbumes de todos los tiempos de la revista Rolling Stone.

 Música

Según Jon Pareles del The New York Times, "desde su primer álbum, Yo! Bum Rush the Show de 1987, el grupo se ha promocionado como una destilación de la furia negra y la resistencia. Pretendía ser la voz de una comunidad, no solo otro grupo de presumidos". En Yo! Bum Rush the Show debuta el estilo de producción de sample/heavy de The Bomb Squad, el que es importante en los siguientes trabajos del grupo. Joe Brown del The Washington Post describió la música del álbum como "una marca más seria de la agresión de los barrios marginales", en comparación con Licensed to Ill de Beastie Boys (1986), sus compañeros de discográfica. Sobre su estilo musical, Brown escribió que "el rap mezquino y minimalista de Public Enemy está marcado por una ausencia absoluta de melodía - el tenebroso sonido es solo un pulso palpitante, baterías duras y un gemido electrónico diseñado para irritar, como el taladro de un dentista o un mosquito persistente". El sonido del álbum es acentuado por el Scratch del DJ Terminator X. El escritor del Chicago Tribune, Daniel Brogan, describió el estilo de Public Enemy en este álbum como "crudo y confrontacional", escribiendo que el grupo no apunta ni tiene oportunidad de ganar aceptación en el público".

Yo! Bum Rush The Show


Peter Collinson (Londres, 28 de enero de 1694–Brentwood, 11 de agosto de 1768) fue un naturalista británico, miembro de la Royal Society y principalmente conocido por su amistad con Benjamin Franklin y su correspondencia acerca de la electricidad.

Era hijo de un comerciante de telas londinense, uniéndose al negocio familiar. Mostró temprano interés en la botánica. Su familia fue parte de la Sociedad religiosa de Amigos (cuáqueros).

En octubre de 1728, Collinson le escribe a Sir Hans Sloane, presidente de la Royal Society, acerca de extraños sucesos que tuvieron lugar en Kent y el 7 de noviembre de 1728 es propuesto a ser electo miembro de la sociedad (que se hizo efectivo a partir del 5 de diciembre del mismo año).

Collinson comercializaba sus telas a los estadounidenses, y a su vez obtuvo de sus contactos comerciales: semillas y plantas. Así comenzó a entender que esas importaciones representaban una fuente potencial de ganancias y así comenzó a importar especímenes botánicos de EE.UU. para los coleccionistas en Gran Bretaña.

Forjó amistades con científicos famosos como Sir Sloane, Carlos Linneo, y Benjamin Franklin.

Falleció de disuria.

Biological rhythms are repetitive biological processes. Some types of biological rhythms have been described as biological clocks. They can range in frequency from microseconds to less than one repetitive event per decade. Biological rhythms are studied by chronobiology. In the biochemical context biological rhythms are called biochemical oscillations.

The variations of the timing and duration of biological activity in living organisms occur for many essential biological processes. These occur (a) in animals (eating, sleeping, mating, hibernating, migration, cellular regeneration, etc.), (b) in plants (leaf movements, photosynthetic reactions, etc.), and in microbial organisms such as fungi and protozoa. They have even been found in bacteria, especially among the cyanobacteria (aka blue-green algae, see bacterial circadian rhythms).

Circadian rhythm
The best studied rhythm in chronobiology is the circadian rhythm, a roughly 24-hour cycle shown by physiological processes in all these organisms. The term circadian comes from the Latin circa, meaning "around" and dies, "day", meaning "approximately a day." It is regulated by circadian clocks.

The circadian rhythm can further be broken down into routine cycles during the 24-hour day:
 Diurnal, which describes organisms active during daytime
 Nocturnal, which describes organisms active in the night
 Crepuscular, which describes animals primarily active during the dawn and dusk hours (ex: white-tailed deer, some bats)

While circadian rhythms are defined as regulated by endogenous processes, other biological cycles may be regulated by exogenous signals.  In some cases, multi-trophic systems may exhibit rhythms driven by the circadian clock of one of the members (which may also be influenced or reset by external factors).  The endogenous plant cycles may regulate the activity of the bacterium by controlling availability of plant-produced photosynthate.

Other cycles
Many other important cycles are also studied, including:
 Infradian rhythms, which are cycles longer than a day. Examples include circannual or annual cycles that govern migration or reproduction cycles in many plants and animals, or the human menstrual cycle.
 Ultradian rhythms, which are cycles shorter than 24 hours, such as the 90-minute REM cycle, the 4-hour nasal cycle, or the 3-hour cycle of growth hormone production.
 Tidal rhythms, commonly observed in marine life, which follow the roughly 12.4-hour transition from high to low tide and back.
 Lunar rhythms, which follow the lunar month (29.5 days). They are relevant e.g. for marine life, as the level of the tides is modulated across the lunar cycle.
 Gene oscillations – some genes are expressed more during certain hours of the day than during other hours.

Within each cycle, the time period during which the process is more active is called the acrophase.  When the process is less active, the cycle is in its bathyphase or trough phase.  The particular moment of highest activity is the peak or maximum; the lowest point is the nadir.  How high (or low) the process gets is measured by the amplitude.

Biochemical basis of biological rhythms
Goldbeter's book provides a thorough analysis of the biochemical mechanisms and their kinetic properties that underlie biological rhythms.

Kistner & Siegel ist ein Musikverlag, der 1923 durch die Verschmelzung der Verlage "C. F. W. Siegel" und "Fr. Kistner" in Leipzig entstand. Namensgeber dieses Verlags sind Carl Friedrich Kistner (1797–1844) und Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Siegel (1819–1869).

Geschichte

Fr. Kistner
Die Geschichte von Kistner & Siegel begann, als Carl Friedrich Kistner am 1. Juni 1831 eine Musikalienverlagshandlung, die von Heinrich Albert Probst 1823 in Leipzig gegründet wurde, kaufte und diese in den ersten Jahren unter der Firma "H.A. Probst-F. Kistner" führte.
1836 benannte Kistner den Musikverlag in "Fr. Kistner" um.
Nachdem Carl Friedrich Kistner starb, führte sein Bruder Julius Kistner den Verlag als Prokurist der Witwe von Friedrich Kistner, Amalie Friederike Clementine, geb. Karthauß, zusammen mit Carl Gurckhaus und Bartholf Senff. 1866 kaufte Carl Friedrich Ludwig Gurckhaus (1821–1884) den Verlag von den Erben. Als dessen Sohn Carl Otto Ludwig Gurckhaus 1918 starb, verkaufte seine Witwe und Erbin Magdalena Gurckhaus den Verlag an Carl und Richard Linnemann, die Inhaber von C.F.W. Siegel.

C. F. W. Siegel
Am 1. Januar 1846 gründete Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Siegel zusammen mit Edmund Stoll die "Buch- und Musikalien-Verlags und Sortimentshandlung Siegel & Stoll" in Leipzig. Vier Jahre darauf trennten sich Siegel und Stoll. Siegel übernahm den Verlag allein. Er kaufte mehrere Verlage hinzu, so beispielsweise 1852 einen Teil des Verlages J. G. Haecker, ein Jahr später den Verlag "Ernst ter Meer" in Aachen. 1870 übernahm Richard Linnemann sen. den Verlag und änderte die Firma in "C.F.W.Siegel's Musikalienhandlung (R. Linnemann)". Seine Söhne Carl und Richard Linnemann traten 1901 in den Verlag ein. Im Jahre 1903 übernahmen sie den Buch- und Musikverlag E.W. Fritzsch, den Ernst Wilhelm Fritzsch vor 1870 gegründet hatte.
1923 fusionierten die Verlage Kistner und Siegel.

Entwicklung nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg
Im Dezember 1943 wurden die Verlagsräume ausgebombt, wodurch der Verlag zunächst zum Erliegen kam. Zuletzt wurde der Verlag in Leipzig von Dr. Walter Lott geleitet, nach dessen Tod von seiner Witwe und Erbin Theodora Lott. Aufgrund der politischen und wirtschaftlichen Verhältnisse gründeten sein Bruder Rudolf Lott und Theodora Lott 1948 den Verlag in Lippstadt neu. Die Tochter von Rudolf Lott, Marianne Feder, führte den Verlag sodann ab 1965 in Köln. Ihre Tochter und Erbin Annette Feder übernahm den Verlag 2004. Seit 2008 befindet sich der Verlag unter der Firmierung "Fr. Kistner & C.F.W. Siegel & Co. KG" in Brühl bei Köln und wird von dem persönlich haftenden Gesellschafter Dr. Ulrich Andryk geleitet.

Komponisten und Werke
Zu den Verlagsautoren zählen unter anderem: Bennett, Bortkiewicz, Bruch, Burgmüller, Chopin, Czerny, Franz, Gade, Goetz, Grabner, Hiller, Jadassohn, Kalkbrenner, Kretschmer, Liszt, Mendelssohn Bartholdy, Moscheles, Onslow, Raff, Reinecke, Rubinstein, Smetana, Svendsen, Wagner.

Bekannt ist der Verlag auch durch seine ORGANUM-Reihe.

Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon avanturistička je videoigra objavljena za Windows, Xbox i PlayStation 2 u studenome 2003. Treća je igra u serijalu Broken Sword i objavljena je šest godina nakon prethodnog dijela The Smoking Mirror. The Sleeping Dragon prva je igra u serijalu s trodimenzionalnom grafikom i jedina u cijelom serijalu u kojoj se ne pojavljuje sučelje za miš. Igrač igra u ulozi Georgea Stobbarta, američkog odvjetnika za patente; Stobbart leti u Kongo kako bi sastavio patent za znanstvenika koji tvrdi da je pronašao izvor neograničene energije.

O idejama za treću epizodu serijala počelo se raspravljati 2000. Kako bi igru učinio nalik na film, Revolution je pozvao kinematografskog konzultanta Boba Keena, koji se pobrinuo za to da svaka scena u igri prenosi odgovarajuće osjećaje i atmosferu. Igra je u početku trebala sadržavati kraće videozapise koji bi izgledom podsjećali na crtane filmove (što je bio slučaj u prethodnim dvama dijelovima), no Revolution se ipak odlučio prikloniti stilu sličnom japanskim animiranim filmovima. Za razliku od prvih dviju igara u serijalu, koje su izrađene uz pomoć Virtual Theatrea, The Sleeping Dragon izrađen je pomoću softvera RenderWare. Glazbu za igru skladao je Ben McCullough, a Rolf Saxon ponovno je posudio glas Georgeu Stobbartu.

Igra je dobila iznimno pozitivne ocjene. Recenzenti su pohvalili njezinu priču, scenarij, humor, grafiku i činjenicu da podsjeća na film, ali su kritizirali to što ne sadrži sučelje za miš i što se sastoji od zagonetki koje se ponavljaju. Charles Cecil izjavio je da je prodano nekoliko stotina tisuća primjeraka igre.

Igrivost
Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon razlikuje se od prethodnih dijelova u serijalu Broken Sword jer se služi sučeljem za izravno upravljanje likovima. Igrač upravlja pokretima Georgea Stobbarta koristeći se tipkovnicom ili kontrolerom, a u nekoliko navrata može igrati i u ulozi Nicole Collard. Georgeov je zadatak prikupljati predmete koji se mogu upotrijebiti samostalno ili s drugim predmetima, dijelovima krajolika ili ostalim osobama u svijetu igre kako bi riješio zagonetke i napredovati kroz igru. George može i komunicirati s ostalim likovima pomoću dijaloškog stabla radi savjeta o tome što mora učiniti kako bi riješio zagonetku ili da bi se priča mogla nastaviti. Igraču je u donjem desnom kutu ekrana ponuđen izbor radnji; ondje se nalaze četiri kruga, u svakom trenutku dostupna mu je najmanje jedna radnja, a katkad istovremeno na raspolaganju ima njih četiri. Igrač izabire željenu radnju služeći se odgovarajućim gumbom. Kao što je bio slučaj s prvim dvama igrama u serijalu Broken Sword, u The Sleeping Dragonu igračev lik može umrijeti.

Scenarij
Nakon događaja iz Smoking Mirrora koji su se odvili prije nekoliko godina, George Stobbart vratio se svojem odvjetničkom poslu; sa svojim pilotom Harryjem Gilliganom leti prema porječju Konga kako bi upoznao znanstvenika Cholmondelyja, koji tvrdi da je izradio stroj koji može stvarati neograničenu energiju. Međutim, u međuvremenu dođe do oluje i njihov se avion sruši na vrh litice u blizini znanstvenikova laboratorija. Nakon što izađe iz olupine, George se zaputi prema laboratoriju. Kad stigne do njega, svjedoči sceni u kojoj znanstvenika blijed, visok i tanak čovjek pod imenom Susarro i njegov tjelohranitelj ispituju o nepoznatoj temi, a potom ga ubijaju vatrenim oružjem.

Nakon što u laboratoriju uoči skrivenu razglednicu, George putuje u Glastonbury u Engleskoj kako bi pronašao čovjeka pod imenom Bruno, prijatelja znanstvenika kojemu je savjetovao da pobjegne. Dok pokušava saznati gdje je Bruno, George otkrije da je nestao prije nego što je došao i da je sad u opasnosti. Premda ne zna gdje se točno nalazi, nakon što posjeti gataru, George primijeti da je obližnju zgradu zahvatio požar, odluči se posvetiti tomu i spasi starca koji je bio svezan u gorućoj zgradi. U razgovoru s njim sazna da je njegovo ime Bruno Ostvald; riječ je o znanstveniku i neotemplaru kojeg je već upoznao u pariškom Hotelu Ubu. Bruno kaže Georgeu da je napustio neotemplare nakon događaja koji su se odvili u igri Shadows of the Templar i da ih sad vodi Susarro, koji ih je preimenovao u Cult of the Dragon (Zmajev kult). Susarro se želi domoći besmrtnosti koristeći se Zemljinim zmajevim linijama, kojima se Cholmondely služio u eksperimentima. Bruno izjavi da posebnim uređajem može pronaći zmajeve linije i da Sussaro vrlo vjerojatno putuje u Pariz kako bi pronašao nešto važno; zbog toga ga George i Bruno odluče slijediti.

Za to se vrijeme u Parizu Nico Collard sprema za sastanak i intervju s hakerom Vernonom Blierom u njegovu stanu; Blier je uspio dešifrirati Voynichev rukopis, ali zbog onoga što je saznao iz njega počeo je vjerovati da mu je ugrožen život. Netom prije nego što Nico stigne k njemu, Bliera ubije žena po imenu Petra, koja mu se lažno predstavila kao Nico. Kad se Nico i Petra suoče u stanu, Petra je ne uspije ubiti i pobjegne, ali za sobom ostavi nekoliko tragova. Nico u žurbi pokuša otkriti što više informacija o Petri kako bi dokazala vlastitu nevinost, ali nakon što policija dođe na mjesto zločina, dežurni detektiv odluči je uhititi na temelju svjedočenja Vernonove stanodavke. Nakon uhićenja i oslobođenja dva dana poslije Nico odluči istražiti što je Blier otkrio i vrati se u njegov stan; ondje zatekne njegovu djevojku Beatrice, koja se i dalje pokušava pomiriti s njegovom smrću. Nico potom otkrije skriven sef i otvori ga, a u njemu pronađe dijagram i DVD. Nakon toga se vrati u svoj stan i odluči odgledati videozapis na DVD-u, u kojem Blier govori o onome što je otkrio – tvrdi da bi bizarne oluje diljem svijeta mogle značiti da će uskoro doći do globalne katastrofe. Taj videozapis odluči pokazati i svojem prijatelju Andréu Lobineauu u nadi da će joj pomoći. Nico sazna da se na pariškom Île Saint-Louisu nalazi napušteno kazalište i da je povezano s maskom koju je Petra imala sa sobom. Odluči poći u to kazalište radi istrage, ali je zarobe Petra i njezin šef Susarro.

Ubrzo nakon toga Bruno i George stignu do istog kazališta, kamo ih je doveo Brunin uređaj za pronalaženje izvora energije. George odluči provaliti u nj i ondje zatekne Susarra, Petru i Flapa (koji je preživio pad iz vlaka u igri Shadows of the Templars) kako ispituju Nico o njezinoj istrazi. Kad na kraju s Nico ostane samo Flap, George je spasi tako što ga onesvijesti. Potom jedno drugomu otkriju kakvi su ih događaji doveli do ponovnog susreta i odluče se zajedno dati u potragu za izvorom energije koji je Bruno uočio. Pritom naiđu na dva ključa: prvi, koji pronađu u sefu, izvor je energije koji je Bruno detektirao te je izrađen od kamena i optočen kristalima, a drugi, koji pronađu u stupu energije u neobičnoj komori, izrađen je od kamena i na njemu se nalazi omega, znak iz grčkog alfabeta. Zatim pobjegnu od Susarra i Petre (koji su prethodno imali posla s tajnovitim čovjekom s kapuljačom), ali Georgea elektrošokerom napadne nepoznati napadač koji mu otme prvi ključ.

U Nicinu stanu Bruno izjavi da je ukradeni ključ zapravo Ključ kralja Salomona; Susarru je potreban da bi mogao doći do posebne armilarne sfere u drevnom zdanju čija je lokacija nepoznata. Dok promatra kamen sa slovom omega, George shvati da je već vidio jednako stiliziranu omegu u Kongu, pa otputuje onamo s Nico i dadnu se u istragu. Ubrzo pronađu još jedan kamen, na kojem se nalazi alfa, i uspiju pobjeći od Petre, koja ih je slijedila. Kad se vrate u Pariz, saznaju da je Nicin stan pretresen, a Bruno otet i odveden u Prag. Nico odluči otkriti u kojem se točno dijelu Praga nalazi Bruno, pa se vrati u napušteno kazalište i u potrazi za tragovima sazna da je odveden u Susarrov dvorac. George i Nico dođu do dvorca i uspiju pronaći Bruna, no saznaju i da se armilarna sfera nalazi u Egiptu, a da je Ključ kralja Salomona oteo templarski kaptol svetog Stjepana: preživjela grupacija Templara koja i dalje postoji, a poznata je i Susarru. George i Nico vrate se u Pariz, a Bruno je odveden u Egipat. George pođe potražiti kaptol svetog Stjepana u Montfauçonu, ali stigne prekasno – njegovo su sjedište već napali Susarrovi ljudi. Iako naiđe na trupla, uspije pronaći i preživjele, pa tako i samog Učitelja kaptola. Učitelj Georgea zatraži da zaustavi Susarra, kaže mu da im je oteo Ključ kralja Salomona, predaje mu treći kameni ključ (sa slovom psi) i proglasi ga vitezom.

Nakon što uspiju locirati zgradu s armilarnom sferom u Egiptu pomoću triju kamenih ključeva, George i Nico ušuljaju se u nju i vide da je Susarro natjerao Brunu da aktivira armilarnu sferu. Dok se sfera pokreće, George i Nico pokore Susarra, a zatim stigne Petra u pratnji čovjeka s kapuljačom, koji ubija Susarra služeći se natprirodnim moćima. Za tu se osobu ispostavi da je veliki majstor neotemplara; iako se mislilo da je ubijen u Bannockburnu, uspio je preživjeti, a Petru je nagovorio da radi za Susarra dok ne dođe do potrebnih informacija. Nakon što armilarna sfera pokaže na kojem će mjestu izbiti iznimna količina energije, veliki majstor detonira naboje dinamita u zgradi tijekom bijega s Petrom i tako zatoči Georgea, Nico i Brunu u zgradi, a Flapa ubiju ruševine. Njih troje shvate da će jedino moći pobjeći ako se jedan od njih žrtvuje u sobi sa zagonetkom; Bruno se odluči žrtvovati i izjavi da se nada otkupljenju za prošle grijehe kako bi George i Nico mogli zaustaviti velikog majstora.

George i Nico stignu na mjesto na kojem će izbiti energija, za koje se ispostavi da se nalazi u Glastonburyju, a snažne oluje počnu pogađati čitav svijet; cijeli je grad poplavljen kad stignu u nj. Nico se suoči s Petrom, a George pokuša zaustaviti velikog majstora i stigne taman u čas kad veliki majstor apsorbira energiju toga mjesta i pretvori se u zmaja, nakon čega se zemlja ispod njih dvojice uruši. George pronađe mač u pećini u koju sleti, njime ubije zmaja i spasi svijet. Kad do njega dotrči Nico, a u međuvremenu Petra umre jer je pogođena zmajevom vatrom, George baci mač u poplavnu vodu; naposljetku se par počne pitati što ih čeka u budućnosti.

Rad na igri

Revolution je 2000. prvi put počeo raspravljati o mogućoj trećoj igri u serijalu Broken Sword. U početku je The Sleeping Dragon trebao sadržavati kraće videozapise koji bi izgledom podsjećali na crtane filmove, što je bio slučaj s prvim dvama igrama u serijalu, no Revolution je naposljetku odlučio da se neće koristiti "plosnatim" izgledom smatrajući da mu manjka dubina. Autori igre željeli su da igra izgleda vjerodostojno, ali ne nužno i realistično – pa su slijedili stil japanskih animiranih filmova. Teksture su izrađene ručno kako bi igra izgledom podsjećala na "crtiće", a u mapi osvjetljenja izračenjem se stvaralo realistična rasvjeta. Zahvaljujući boljem sklopovlju i promjenama u metodologiji, igru karakterizira 24-bitna boja.

Charles Cecil redatelj je igre, a Tony Warriner zaslužan je za programiranje umjetne inteligencije i dizajniranje određenih dijelova igre. Kako bi igra podsjećala na film, Revolution je pozvao kinematografskog konzultanta Boba Keena, koji se pobrinuo za to da svaka scena prenosi odgovarajuće osjećaje i atmosferu. Glazbu za igru skladao je Ben McCullough. Snimanje glasova u početku je trebalo trajati pet dana, ali je naposljetku trajalo četiri. Glumci su snimali glasove zajedno, što je potaknulo bolju glumu i interakciju. Čitav scenarij sastoji se od 6000 rečenica, a gotovo jednako mnogo bilo ih je i u prethodnoj igri. Iako je Rolf Saxon ponovno posudio glas Georgeu Stobbartu, Nicole "Nico" Collard ovog je puta glumila Sarah Crook.

Revolution je održao audiciju za glumce u studiju The Spotlight (na londonskom Leicester Squareu). U početku je Nico glas trebala posuditi izvorna govornica francuskoga jezika radi autentičnog izgovora, no na kraju je tu ulogu dobila Sarah Crook, izvorna govornica engleskoga jezika. Među ostalim glumcima navedeni su Alison Pettit, Andrew Secombe, Bob Golding, Jay Benedict, John Bull, Laurence Bouvard, Peter Marinker, Rachael Rogers, Rachel Preece, Simon Treves i Seamus O'Neil.

Cecil je u intervjuu izjavio da je u izradu igre utrošeno 2 milijuna funti. Warriner je istaknuo da je rad na igri bio skuplji nego na prijašnjim projektima i da je bio skuplji "za milijun dolara u usporedbi s BS1". Iako je prodajom igra izdavačima priskrbila 40 milijuna dolara, Revolution je bio na velikom gubitku.

Iako inačice igre za PlayStation 2 i Xbox više nisu dostupne, inačica za računalo može se kupiti na Steamu, Mastertronicu i sajtu GOG.com, a također je uključena u Mastertronicovu kompilaciju Broken Sword Complete.

Recenzije
The Sleeping Dragon dobio je vrlo pozitivne ocjene većine recenzenata i prodan je u nekoliko stotina tisuća primjeraka. Godine 2004. Tony Warriner osvrnuo se na uspješnost igre u usporedbi s prethodnim dvjema igrama u serijalu Broken Sword: "[The Sleeping Dragon] po prodaji je otprilike bio jednako uspješan [kao i prethodne igre], a i kupovali su ga uglavnom isti ljudi. Nismo proširili tržište iako smo se upravo tomu nadali." U intervjuu održanom 2006. Cecil je priznao da je u igri previše zagonetaka sa sanducima koje, umjesto da se nadovežu na priču, više funkcioniraju kao mehanizam koji privremeno blokira igračev napredak u igri.

eToychest mu je dao pet od pet bodova i izjavio je da "Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon jasno pokazuje za što je sve sposoban ovaj žanr; nadomak je savršenstvu kao i bilo koja nedavno objavljena avanturistička igra". Just Adventure dao mu je ocjenu A+ (5+) i komentirao: "Ovo je trijumf. Istovremeno je realistična trodimenzionalna igra i izvanredna pustolovina. Igra je iznimno vješto izrađena i dizajnirana. Kad je igrate, osjećate se kao da ste u uzbudljivu filmskom trileru." Gaming Chronicles dao mu je 9,2 od 10 bodova i izjavio da su "avanturističke igre i dalje popularne zahvaljujući dizajnerima poput Revolutiona"; dodao je da je riječ o veličanstvenu postignuću interaktivne zabave te je pohvalio scenarij, likove, kraće videozapise i dijaloge. Naposljetku ju je proglasio "igrom koju bi trebali imati svi oni koji se žele vratiti u zlatno doba avanturističkih igara", ali je ipak istaknuo da je upravljanje likovima katkad prejednostavno. Časopis Edge dao joj je 9 od 10 bodova; pohvalio je scenarij, dijaloge i kraće videozapise, a premda je istaknuo da povremeni tehnički problemi kvare iluziju, nazvao ju je "bajkovitim" i "veličanstvenim povratkom pustolovine". IGN joj je dao 8,4 boda od njih deset i stavio ju je u kategoriju "Impresivno", ali je i izjavio da se sučelje teško rabi i da se zagonetke ponavljaju te time postaju naporne. Adventure Gamers dao joj je četiri zvjezdice od njih pet; proglasio ju je "tehničkim remek-djelom", pohvalio je njezin filmski uvod, scene i vjerodostojna lica likova te je izjavio da je "svakako podigla standarde za sve ostale avanturističke igre", ali je kritizirao način na koji se upravlja likovima i zagonetke koje se ponavljaju. GameSpot je napisao pozitivnu recenziju; njegov recenzent Scott Osborne pohvalio je priču, likove i mjesto radnje, a za razliku od većine kritičara smatrao je da sučelje ima i svojih prednosti, no spomenuo je da su ga frustrirale situacije u kojima su potrebni brzi refleksi i da su mu određene zagonetke (kao i većini) bile dosadne; također je prijavio problem sa zvukom, što naizgled nije spomenuo nijedan drugi recenzent. Iako je Laura MacDonald iz Mr. Bill's Adventurelanda žestoko kritizirala zagonetke koje se ponavljaju, igru je proglasila "trenutačnim klasikom" i pohvalila je priču, sučelje za upravljanje, likove i glazbu. Recenzija Stevena Cartera iz Game Over Onlinea bila je manje pozitivna (kritizirao je priču, sučelje i zagonetke, a većinu zagonetki na kraju opisao je "nevjerojatno jednostavnima"), ali je svejedno pohvalio općenit izgled igre, glumu i glazbu. Computer Games Magazine također je objavio manje pozitivnu recenziju, u kojoj je žestoko kritizirao sučelje.

Godine 2003. urednici Computer Gaming Worlda nominirali su The Sleeping Dragon za nagradu "Avanturistička igra godine", koju je na kraju osvojila igra Uplink: Hacker Elite. The Sleeping Dragon također je bio nominiran za nagradu "Najbolja avanturistička igra za PC" The Electric Playgrounda, no tu je nagradu osvojila igra Beyond Good & Evil.
