Heike Langhans(Cidade do Cabo, 9 de Fevereiro de 1988) é uma cantora e compositora sul-africana, é principalmente associada ao projeto dark electronic LOR3L3I:, e também conhecida como ex-vocalista da banca sueca de doom metal Draconian.

Biografia
Heike nasceu na Cidade do Cabo, África do Sul, em uma família de descendência alemã. Durante sua adolescência, ela começou a ser atraída pela melancólica música gótica e começou a se interessar por composição, escrita e canto. Antes de começar a praticar a música profissionalmente, Heike se formou em designer gráfica , profissão que exerce até hoje.

Heike começou sua carreira como cantora na banda sul-africana de metal sinfônico Inferium em 2005 sob o nome de Heike Van Dominic. Ela deixou o grupo em 2010 . Em 2006 , ela criou seu projeto solo chamado: LOR3L3I:, um grupo de dark wave eletrônico gótico. Em 2020 ela lançou um álbum digital chamado "TH3 D3MO COLL3CTION".

Em 2012 , juntou-se à banda sueca de  doom metal, Draconian, após a saída da cantora Lisa Johansson em 2011 depois de fazer contato com o guitarrista Daniel Arvidsson, depois com Anders Jacobsson para tentar a sorte e fazer um teste na Suécia. No início, ela lutou para conseguir um visto de trabalho na Suécia, o que prejudicou a capacidade da banda de gravar um álbum. Até a obtenção do visto, ela se apresentou como cantora temporária na banda de rock gótico "The Great Sleep" na África do Sul. No final de 2013 , ela recebeu seu visto de trabalho e pôde emigrar para a Suécia. Foi então que ela começou a trabalhar com o Draconian. Formou também o projeto paralelo "ISON" com Daniel Änghede (Crippled Black Phoenix, Hearts of Black Science) e lançaram seu EP de estreia "Cosmic Drone" em 2015.

Em 2015, Sovran, seu primeiro álbum com o Draconian foi lançado. A partir de então, várias turnês se seguiram, bem como inúmeros shows durante festivais como o 70,000 Tons of Metal.

Em 2018, Heike e Daniel Änghede lançam o álbum intitulado "Andromeda Skyline" do projeto "ISON", seguido pelo álbum "Inner-space" em 2019, que foi o último álbum do ISON em que Heike participou, antes de deixar o projeto.

Em 23 de abril de 2020, o Draconian anunciou seu segundo álbum com Heike, Under a Godless Veil, agendado para 30 de outubro de 2020.

Em 3 de maio de 2022, Draconian anunciou que a vocalista Heike Langhans deixaria a banda para se concentrar em sua família e seus próprios projetos, e que a ex-vocalista Lisa Johansson voltaria à banda.

Junto com sua intensa atividade musical, ela produz vários trabalhos todos relacionados à gráfica (sejam ilustrações, desenhos ou capas de álbuns).

Jin Au-Yeung (; born June 4, 1982), known professionally as MC Jin, is an American rapper, songwriter, actor and comedian of Chinese descent. Jin is notable for being the first Asian American solo rapper to be signed to a major record label in the United States.

Early life
Jin Au-Yeung was born on June 4, 1982, in Miami, Florida, to Hong Kong immigrants of Hakka descent. He was raised in the general Miami area, where his parents owned a Chinese restaurant and Jin attended John F. Kennedy Middle School in North Miami Beach. Jin went on to attend North Miami Beach Senior High School, from which he graduated in 2000. After graduating, Jin decided to forgo college and begin his rap career. Shortly afterwards, his parents closed the restaurant and the family moved in 2001 to Queens, New York City.

Career

2001–2006: 106 & Park and Ruff Ryders
While in New York, Jin participated in many rap battles with his peers.

Jin's big break came in 2002 when the BET program 106 & Park invited local rappers to compete in a segment known as Freestyle Friday. Unlike other competitors, Jin occasionally spoke Cantonese in his freestyle verses. After winning seven battles in a row, he was inducted into the Freestyle Friday Hall of Fame. The night of the ceremony, he announced that he had signed a deal with the Ruff Ryders Entertainment label.

His first single under Ruff Ryders was titled "Learn Chinese" featuring Haitian rapper Wyclef Jean. It contained a sample from song "Blind Man Can See It", by James Brown (also sampled by Das EFX and Lord Finesse). The second single for the album was originally supposed to be "I Got a Love", featuring and produced by Kanye West. The album was originally scheduled to be released in the summer of 2003 but was delayed for over a year by the label. In October 2004, Jin released his debut album, The Rest Is History, which reached number 54 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart. The two singles, "Learn Chinese" and "Senorita", were not major mainstream successes and the album only sold 19,000 units in its first week. Jin left the label in 2006.

On April 23, 2005, Jin and rapper Serius Jones engaged in a rap battle. The battle was featured on Fight Klub DVD.

On May 18, 2005, Jin revealed that he would be putting his rap career on hold in order to explore other options. To make this clear, he recorded a song titled "I Quit", produced by the Golden Child. The announcement was widely misunderstood to have marked the end of Jin's rap career. However, he later re-emerged under a different alias, The Emcee, and freestyled over such songs as Jay-Z's "Dear Summer." He released a single called "Top 5 (Dead or Alive)" in which he explored the history of hip-hop's greatest artists, using lyrics. The legendary DJ Kool Herc, who is credited as the founder of hip-hop, appears in Jin's music video. With independent label CraftyPlugz/Draft Records, Jin released his second album, The Emcee's Properganda, on October 25, 2005.

Jin collaborated in 2005 with Queens-born rapper Creature on his song "Never Say Die," which also featured Slug and Busdriver.

Jin was also featured on Taiwanese pop artist Leehom Wang's 2005 album Heroes of Earth. Together, Jin and Leehom performed their "Heroes of the Earth" collaboration live in Shanghai on February 16, 2006, at an event arranged by China-resident American A&R exec Andrew Ballen. Ballen was also the first promoter to bring Jin to mainland China in 2003 for his "The Rest is History" tour.

2006–2007: Independent label
Jin released two albums in 2006. The first, 100 Grand Jin, was a mixtape that was released on August 29, 2006. The single released from the album is "FYI", for which the rapper shot and released a music video. The second album is Jin's third LP, I Promise.

On his MySpace, Jin mentioned that he was working on another English album named "Birthdays, Funerals and Things in Between". Jin premiered the song, "Open Letter to Obama," on April 24, 2007, which made him become 1st on then-Presidential nominee Barack Obama's Top 8 list on MySpace.

On April 16, 2007, Jin made a tribute song to the victims of the Virginia Tech massacre called "Rain, Rain Go Away". Later that year, Jin decided to make his November 2006 online album, I Promise available in retail stores; it was given an October 23, 2007, release.

In 2006, the PlayStation 2/Xbox video game NBA Ballers: Phenom featured MC Jin as one of the rapper characters along with Trikz, Ludacris and Hot Sauce.

He released his first all-Cantonese language album, ABC, in 2007.

2008–2011: Success in Hong Kong and newfound Christian faith
In 2008, Universal Music Hong Kong flew Jin out to Hong Kong to promote the re-release of his Cantonese album ABC. In an interview, Jin commented, "I think with various artists, Cantonese hip-hop was starting to become more and more widespread." ABC debuted at #1 and achieved gold status in Hong Kong. He frequently starred in commercials there and made numerous appearances on TVB like Big Boys Club. He is also seen as an important part of recent Asian hip hop trends and was once deemed "the changing face of Cantopop."

Jin did a collaboration with Malaysian rapper Point Blanc in a track titled "One Day" (2008).

He also put the song "Welcome to the Light Club" on his Myspace page. Jin is a Christian, stating in his song "Welcome to the Light Club" he was baptized in 2008. He has featured in Far East Movement's "Millionaire". He has done a track over a DJ Premier-produced joint titled "World Premier". He also collaborated with producer Trendsetter (aka Mark Holiday).

He has recently thrown out a Hip-Hop Census in honor of the 2010 Census and Chinese New Year, 2010. As said by Jin, this mixtape is open to anybody and will be mixed from the general population along with Jin. He released a mixtape entitled "Say Something", on May 15, 2010. Jin released an album with his friend Hanjin Tan in 2010. On July 10, 2010, Jin collaborated with singer Hanjin Tan () to release another Cantonese album  (Buy one get one free). Jin also released a music video for his English single "Angels".

During his time in Hong Kong, Jin has appeared in films such as Gallants and Bruce Lee, My Brother.

In December, 2010, Jin released a Christmas music video entitled "Rap Now, 2010" with Hong Kong Chief Executive, Donald Tsang. The video, with lyrics penned by Jin, featured a number of lines ending with "Act Now!" (), echoing a Hong Kong government slogan. It garnered in excess of nine million views on the CE office's YouTube channel. A CNN report described the video as an "official eyesore" and "a political message thinly veiled as a Christmas card," and further criticized Jin's rapping as resembling "awkward nursery rhymes," in contrast to his earlier performances. However, local newspaper The Standard, in response to critics, stated in an editorial that "Tsang, like the millions who post videos of themselves or their loved ones, only wants to have fun."

On March 7, 2011, Jin released a music video for a song from his upcoming English album entitled "Charlie Sheen," collaborating with artists Dumbfoundead and Traphik. Jin released an EP titled Sincerely Yours, a Christian-oriented and self-improvement-oriented EP featuring positive messages about life and self-reflective insights into his own life. After the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, Jin participated in the Artistes 311 Love Beyond Borders celebrity charity concert on April 1, 2011, to help raise funds for Japan's disaster recovery effort. The 3-hour event raised over HK$26 million (USD$3.3 million).

On May 16, 2011, Jin released the track "AIYA" featuring label-mate, Toestah. On August 8, 2011, Jin released his second Cantonese album,  (Homecoming), in Hong Kong.

2012–2017: Return to the United States
In 2012, Jin announced that he was moving back to the United States to raise his son with his wife in New York.

In February 2012, Jin released a re-vamped version of his EP, Sincerely Yours 2.0, featuring some of the same lyrics, but many others changed, slightly altering the overall feel of the record. In August 2012, Jin released his English album, "Crazy Love Ridiculous Faith", for free download, an album in which he positively addresses both Christians and non-Christians. In December 2012, Jin released the Brand New Me EP.

In late 2013, Jin collaborated with independent label, The Great Company. The first track released on the label was called "Hypocrite (The Gold Chapter)." On December 21, 2013, Jin released the first EP under the label called "Hypocrite."

On October 21, 2014, the label released Jin's first album under their label: XIV:LIX, which is "14:59" in Roman numerals and a reference to the concept of 15 minutes of fame. The album features Teesa, Hollis, Stacie Bollman, Tim Be Told, Bére, and Storm. The album was not a commercial success.

Jin began performing stand-up comedy in New York City in 2015.

2017–present: Success in mainland China
In 2017, he competed in the Chinese rap competition show, The Rap of China, in a masked attire, under the alias of "HipHopMan."

Jin has since released several songs in Mandarin, including "Zero", a promotional song for the 2017 movie The Foreigner starring Hong Kong actor Jackie Chan, who considers Jin to be his friend.

In 2021, he joined the cast of Call Me by Fire as a contestant. He was eliminated in episode 5, only to return later in episode 6, following fellow contestant Henry Huo Zun's withdrawal from the show in light of recent controversies.

Personal life
Jin married his wife Carol on February 12, 2011, in Puerto Rico. The couple met at a concert at where Jin was performing. They have two sons: Chance (born 2012) and Justus (born 2019).

Jin became a born again Christian in 2008. He was converted by Chinese American pastor Jaeson Ma. He has since released several gospel themed projects expressing his faith.

During the 2008 United States presidential election, Jin expressed his support for Barack Obama. Proceeds from his song "Open Letter to Obama" were donated to Obama's campaign. In 2019, he announced on Twitter that he was officially endorsing presidential candidate Andrew Yang in the 2020 Democratic Party presidential primaries. He has released two songs supporting Yang: "Drew Yang Gang, That's Who I Hooked Up Wit'" and "#8MileYang". Jin also toured with Andrew Yang's campaign events. In April 2021, he released "Yang for New York," a song and video in support of Andrew Yang's run for mayor of New York City. The three-minute video features such lyrics as "Everyone — white, brown, yellow and black / It's time to come together, what's ironic is that / NY forward will bring New York Back."

Catchphrases and fan culture
Jin's catchphrase is "Aiya!" (), a Chinese interjection roughly equivalent to "Oh my gosh!". Fans pictured with the logo were able to appear in the music video for his song "Aiya!" (featuring Toestah). Jin also refers to his fans as his "AIYAfambam".

After his success and popularity on the Rap of China, Jin gained widespread respect and popularity throughout China, and also with the Chinese people worldwide. A China fanbase is secure with an official account on Weibo "MCJin欧阳靖全国粉丝后援会"  on August 12, 2017. Jin then officially named his Chinese fans "不帥團隊" (Team Bu-shuai), a name which he came up with due to the focus on looks-oriented artists. Bu-Shuai means 'not handsome' in Mandarin, and Jin joked with his fans that although he is not handsome as compared to many artists, he is proud to be so as he is secure in himself as an 'un-handsome'. The official slogan for Team Bu-shuai is "生活愉快、越來不帥", which means to live joyfully and become more and more 'un-handsome'. A series of official Team Bu=shuai merchandise such as tees, hoodies, windbreakers, and caps donning the slogan and team name (designed by Jin) is also available on Taobao. Jin also released the song "不帥" with an official music video made by him and Team Bu-shuai. The song talks about the special relationship between Jin and his beloved Team Bu-Shuai, promoting the slogan "生活愉快、越來不帥". The fanbase 'Team Bu-shuai' has an official account on Weibo, with over 55,000 followers. Jin actively interacts with its members online, and is known to sometimes arrange to meet them in different cities for movies and coffees offline.

Members of Jin's fan club on Twitter are known as Emojins. He referenced them in his 2018 song 'Debut': "Shout out to the emojins, and the emojins only."

Un mélange par faisceau d'ions ou mélange par faisceau ionique est un mécanisme de mélange atomique qui peut se produire à l'interface séparant deux matériaux différents lors d'une irradiation ionique. Cette méthode est utilisée comme procédé de collage dans les matériaux multicouches, notamment entre un substrat et une couche superficielle déposée. Le procédé consiste à bombarder des échantillons stratifiés avec d'importantes quantités de rayonnements ioniques afin de favoriser le mélange à l'interface. Il est souvent employé dans la préparation de jonctions électriques, notamment entre des alliages hors équilibre ou métastables et des composés intermétalliques. Un équipement d'implantation ionique peut être utilisé pour réaliser un mélange par faisceau ionique.

Mécanisme
Les effets uniques qui découlent du mélange par faisceau d'ions sont principalement le résultat d'effets balistiques. Les ions, possèdent des énergies cinétiques élevées, de l'ordre de 1 keV à 200 keV, qui sont transférées aux atomes cibles lors de la collision. Ces énergies sont suffisamment élevées pour rompre les liaisons intra- et surtout inter-moléculaires et initier des relocalisations au sein d'un réseau atomique. Une réaction en chaine a lieu, les atomes énergisés provoquant de nouveaux déplacements lors de leurs mouvements et une interpénétration des deux interfaces est observée. Il est important de noter que les énergies doivent être suffisamment élevées pour que les réarrangements du réseau soient permanents plutôt que de se manifester comme de simples réponses vibratoires au rayonnement incident. Si les énergies sont maintenues suffisamment élevées le rapport entre les doses de rayonnement et la concentration en alliage à l'interface est plus intéressant que dans le cas des méthodes plus conventionnelles d'implantation.

Analyse
L'ampleur du mélange varie relativement à la masse des ions, l'intensité du faisceau, la tension d'accélération ainsi que la durée d'irradiation. Plus précisément, cette quantité est proportionnelle aux racines carrées du temps, de la masse et de la dose d'ions.

À des températures inférieures à 100 °C pour la plupart des matériaux implantés, le mélange du faisceau ionique est en général indépendant de la température mais, à mesure que la température augmente au-delà de ce point, l'interpénétration augmente de manière exponentielle.

Le mélange de faisceaux ioniques balistiques peut être classé en deux sous-catégories : le mélange de recul et le mélange en cascade, ayant tous deux lieu simultanément lors de l'irradiation. Dans le mélange de recul, les atomes sont déplacés par des événements de collision uniques. Le mélange de recul est principalement observé sous de grands angles à la suite de collisions douces. Le nombre d'atomes subissant une implantation de recul variant linéairement avec la dose d'ions. Ce n'est cependant pas le processus dominant. Un seul ion incident peut ainsi entrainer de nombreux déplacement atomique.

Ce procédé étant relativement similaire à de la diffusion inter-couche, la plupart des modèles de mélange d'ions impliquent un coefficient de diffusion effectif, utilisé pour caractériser l'épaisseur de la couche ayant réagi en fonction de l'irradiation par le faisceau ionique sur une période de temps donnée.

Le modèle de diffusion ne prend pas en compte la miscibilité du substrat et de la couche. L'épaisseur de la couche de mélange sera donc surestimée dans le cas de matériau faiblement miscibles ou non-miscibles. À l'inverse, pour les systèmes hautement miscibles, le modèle sous-estimera le degré de mélange. Les effets thermodynamiques ne sont pas non plus pris en compte mais peuvent être modélisés par des équations qui mettent en jeu les enthalpies de mélange et les fractions molaires de l'espèce cible. On peut ainsi déterminer un "coefficient de diffusion effectif thermodynamique", reflétant les effets de la température.

Avantages et inconvénients
Les avantages du mélange de faisceaux ioniques comme moyen de synthèse par rapport aux modes d'implantation traditionnels sont :

 La capacité du processus à produire des matériaux avec des concentrations élevées de soluté en utilisant des quantités d'irradiation plus faibles
 Un meilleur contrôle de la variation de la bande interdite et de la diffusion entre les couches.
 Un coût moins élevé que celui d'autres techniques de dépôts de couches minces, (dépôt chimique en phase vapeur (CVD), épitaxie par jet moléculaire (MBE)...).

Les inconvénients majeurs sont :

 l'impossibilité de diriger et de contrôler complètement les déplacements des atomes sur les sites cristallins, pouvant causer un désordre les rendant inadaptés aux applications dans lesquelles la quantité de défaut doit être très faible
 de même, le faisceau incident n'est pas parfaitement dirigé et peut entrainer des diffractions électroniques, des diffusions renforcées par rayonnement ou encore des migrations chimiques
 Tous les échantillons doivent ensuite subir un recuit.

شاكر النابلسي (12 مايو 1940 - 14 يناير 2014) كاتب وباحث وناقد أردني مختص بقضايا الإصلاح في العالم العربي والقضايا الإسلامية بالإضافة لكونه باحث ليبرالي في الفكر العربي.
يصنف بين من يوصفون "بالليبراليين الجدد" في المنطقة العربية. له مؤلفات كثيرة وعُرف بمقالاته التي تتناول في مجملها الإصلاح إضافة للمنظمات والأفكار "الراديكالية" و"المتطرفة" في الوطن العربي.
أقام في الولايات المتحدة حتى وفاته في 14 يناير 2014.

نماذج من أفكاره المثيرة للجدل

لعل أهم ما يميز فكر النابلسي هو التفاؤل في نظرته نحو العلمانية في العالم العربي فقد رأى أن انتصارها هو نتيجة حتمية، يقول:  وذكر عدة من الأسباب منها:

أثارت أفكاره المتعلقة بالإسلام جدلاً واسعاً في الأوساط الإسلامية، فقد تميزت كتابات النابلسي بالجرأة على نقد المقدس، ففي سياق حديثه عن القرآن يقول:

ويدخل في هذا السياق أيضاً كلامه حول تاريخ العرب قبل الإسلام، فقد رأى النابلسي أنهم تعرضوا للظلم والحيف بسبب أن الإسلام قام بتعمية ذلك التاريخ وأغلق دونه حجاباً، يقول النابلسي حول هذا الموضوع:

وفي إحدى كتاباته أوضح أن سبب تصادم الإسلام مع اليهودية وتسامحه مع المسيحية يرجع إلى أسباب مادية بحتة، يقول:  كما رأى أن العلة في تحريم الربا في الإسلام هو محاربة اليهود الذين كانوا يتعاملون به على نطاق واسع، قال النابلسي:

مؤلفات

In ihrer Premierenspielzeit absolvierte die Mannschaft nur sechs Spiele, wobei weitere vier wegen Nichtantritts gegen Detroit gewertet wurden. Aufgrund von Verzögerungen beim Bau ihrer Arena wurden die Greyhounds von der Ligenleitung vom laufenden Spielbetrieb ausgeschlossen und das Franchise aufgelöst.

Annia Galeria Faustina the Younger ( AD, – 175/176 AD) was Roman empress from 161 to her death as the wife of emperor Marcus Aurelius, her maternal cousin. Faustina was the youngest child of emperor Antoninus Pius and empress Faustina the Elder. She was held in high esteem by soldiers and her husband as Augusta and Mater Castrorum ('Mother of the Camp') and was given divine honours after her death.

Life

Early life

Faustina, named after her mother, was her parents' fourth and youngest child and second daughter; she was also their only child to survive to adulthood. She was born and raised in Rome.

Her second cousin three times removed, Hadrian, had arranged with her father for Faustina to marry Lucius Verus. On 25 February 138, she and Verus were betrothed. Verus' father was Hadrian's first adopted son and his intended heir; however, when Verus' father died, Hadrian chose Faustina's father to be his second adopted son, and eventually, he became Hadrian's successor. Faustina's father ended the engagement between his daughter and Verus and arranged for Faustina's betrothal to her biological maternal cousin, Marcus Aurelius; Aurelius was also adopted by her father.

Imperial heiress

In April or May 145, Faustina and Marcus Aurelius were married, as had been planned since 138. Since Aurelius was, by adoption, Antoninus Pius' son, under Roman law he was marrying his sister; Antoninus would have had to formally release one or the other from his paternal authority (his patria potestas) for the ceremony to take place. Little is specifically known of the ceremony, but it is said to have been "noteworthy". Coins were issued with the heads of the couple, and Antoninus, as Pontifex maximus, would have officiated. Marcus makes no apparent reference to the marriage in his surviving letters, and only sparing references to Faustina. Faustina was given the title of Augusta on 1 December 147 after the birth of her first child, Domitia Faustina.

Empress
When Antoninus died on 7 March 161, Marcus and Lucius Verus ascended to the throne and became co-rulers. Faustina then became empress. Following the birth of her first child in 147, Faustina obtained the title of Augusta granted to her by the Senate, before her husband Marcus Aurelius became Augustus himself in 161.

Not much has survived from the Roman sources regarding Faustina's life, but what is available does not give a good report. Cassius Dio and the unreliable Historia Augusta accuse Faustina of ordering deaths by poison and execution; she has also been accused of instigating the revolt of Avidius Cassius against her husband. The Historia Augusta mentions adultery with sailors, gladiators, and men of rank; however, Faustina and Aurelius seem to have been very close and mutually devoted.

Faustina accompanied her husband on various military campaigns and enjoyed the excessive love and reverence of Roman soldiers. Aurelius gave her the title of Mater Castrorum or 'Mother of the Camp'. She attempted to make her home out of an army camp. Between 170 and 175, she was in the north, and in 175, she accompanied Aurelius to the east.

Revolt of Avidius Cassius and death

That same year, 175, Aurelius's general Avidius Cassius was proclaimed Roman emperor after the erroneous news of Marcus's death; the sources indicate Cassius was encouraged by Marcus' wife Faustina, who was concerned about her husband's failing health, believing him to be on the verge of death, and felt the need for Cassius to act as a protector in this event, since her son Commodus, aged 13, was still young. She also wanted someone who would act as a counter-weight to the claims of Tiberius Claudius Pompeianus, who was in a strong position to take the office of Princeps in the event of Marcus's death. The evidence, including Marcus's own Meditations, supports the idea that Marcus was indeed quite ill, but by the time Marcus recovered, Cassius was already fully acclaimed by the Egyptian legions of II Traiana Fortis and XXII Deiotariana.

"After a dream of empire lasting three months and six days", Cassius was murdered by a centurion; his head was sent to Marcus Aurelius, who refused to see it and ordered it buried. Egypt recognized Marcus as emperor again by 28 July 175.

The facts concerning the death of Faustina are not definite. She died in the winter of 175 at the military camp in Halala (a city in the Taurus Mountains in Cappadocia).  The causes of her death are of speculation of scholars and range from death from natural causes, suicide, an accident, or even possibly assassination in retaliation for her alleged affair with Cassius earlier that year, depending on the source.

Aurelius grieved much for his wife and buried her in the Mausoleum of Hadrian in Rome. She was deified, with her statue placed in the Temple of Venus in Rome and a temple dedicated to her in her honor. Halala's name was changed to Faustinopolis and Aurelius opened charity schools for orphan girls called Puellae Faustinianae or 'Girls of Faustina'. The Baths of Faustina in Miletus are named after her.

Children

In their thirty years of marriage, Faustina and Marcus Aurelius had many children, at least 14 are known for certain. Only six survived to adulthood, five daughters and the son Commodus. Faustina's role as a mother was glorified, and with the birth of her daughter, Fadilla, coins were issued, portraying her as Juno Lucina.

The Major Indoor Soccer League (MISL) was the top professional indoor soccer league in the United States. The league was a member of both the United States Soccer Federation and FIFA. The MISL had replaced the NPSL which folded in 2001. According to MISL.net, the league ceased operations as of May 31, 2008. "We are considering structural changes that will bring us greater efficiencies, while also allowing long term growth and expansion of the League", said John Hantz, former Chairman of the MISL, and Owner/Operator of the Detroit Ignition. All the teams from MISL went to the new indoor leagues: NISL, MASL and  the XSL.  The NISL and XSL used the same playing rules as the MISL.

History
In the summer of 2001, the National Professional Soccer League disbanded.  The six surviving teams organized the MISL as a single-entity structure similar to Major League Soccer. In 2002, the MISL absorbed two teams from the World Indoor Soccer League, the Dallas Sidekicks and San Diego Sockers. The St. Louis Steamers, another former WISL team, joined the following year.  On May 27, 2008, Commissioner Steve Ryan stepped down as the commissioner of the MISL, and then on June 2, 2008, the Management Committee of the MISL announced they had ceased operations effective May 31, 2008 to reform the league.  All of the MISL's teams from its last season joined either the National Indoor Soccer League, Professional Arena Soccer League, or the Xtreme Soccer League.

Organization
The MISL was organized in a single table playing a 30-game schedule.  Traditionally, the season began in October and ended in March. The league also conducted an All-Star Game at midseason.  It pitted Eastern teams against Western teams and USA All-Stars against World All-Stars as well as the MISL All-Stars against a Mexican team.  No All-Star Game was played in the 2004–2005 and 2006–2007 seasons. The All-Star game scheduled for the 2007–08 season in Stockton, California was also canceled.

The top six teams qualified for the playoffs, which began in April.  In the first round, the sixth place team played the third place team while the fourth and fifth place teams also played either other.  The top two teams received a bye in the first round.  The survivors of the first round played the top two seeds in the semifinals with the first place team playing the lowest surviving seed from the first round and the second place team playing the highest surviving seed.  The two semi-final winners met in the MISL Championship Final.  The first two rounds were a two-game series with a golden goal tie breaker.  The Championship Final was a single game at a predetermined neutral site.

Television
The MISL had a relative lack of television coverage for being a national professional sports league.  In February 2007, the league and Versus announced a partnership to deliver a nationally televised game of the week starting in March 2007. For the 2006–2007 season, Versus broadcast two regular season games, a MISL Championship Series Semifinal game on April 14, and the MISL Championship Series Final. Additionally, the MISL produced its first-ever live magazine show to preview the 2007 MISL Championship Series. Before the 2006–2007 season, national television coverage was limited to the MISL Championships in 2005 and 2006, which were shown on ESPN2.

For the 2007–08, the MISL signed an agreement with Fox Soccer Channel to televise 20 games that season.

In addition to national television, certain games were shown in local markets over local cable networks like CN8.

Rules

The MISL game was the standard North American version of indoor soccer.  It was different from the FIFA-sanctioned futsal.

Each MISL game consisted of four 15-minute quarters.  There were breaks between the first two and the last two quarters.  There was also a 15-minute halftime. Ties resulted in consecutive 15-minute sudden death overtimes.

An MISL field was roughly the size of an ice hockey rink, measuring 200 feet by 80 feet.  Goals measured 14 feet by 8 feet and are set into the boards.  Players were allowed to bounce the ball off the dasher boards.  Play stopped if the ball leaves the field of play.

During an MISL game, each team was allowed to have 6 players on the field at a time.  One player was the goalkeeper who handled the ball while in the penalty arc.  The other players were generally divided as two defenders, one midfielder, and two forwards.  Substitution was unlimited and may happen "on the fly" during play.

Fouls and misconducts were generally the same as outdoor soccer with a few changes.  First, all kicks were direct, with no whistle to restart play, which usually resulted in a "quick start".  Also, the MISL utilized blue cards in addition to the traditional yellow and red cards of outdoor soccer.

Blue cards were for fouls that earn possible two-minute power plays.  Yellow cards were given for dissent, resulting in a 5-minute penalty but the offending team did not play short.

All red cards in the MISL resulted in a two-minute power play.  Red cards were awarded for violent conduct or accumulation of cards (3 blues or 2 yellows).

Originally, the MISL had a multiple point scoring system where goals were worth 1, 2, or 3 points depending upon the distance that they were scored or game situation.  The former WISL teams objected to this.  After the 2003 Championship, the league began using a traditional one-point-per-goal rule because of a controversial goal scored during the deciding game.  However, the league went back to multipoint scoring in 2006 with 2- and 3-point goals.

Gilles de Rais foi uma banda japonesa de rock visual kei formada em Osaka por Joe, Jack, Dee e Sinn, ativa de 1989 a 1995. O álbum Satsui de 1992 alcançou a primeira posição na parada de álbuns independentes da Oricon e foi considerado uma das obras de visual kei mais importantes. Eles deixaram de ser uma banda indie em 1993 assinando com a Pony Canyon. Em 2017, Joe iniciou o Gilles de Rais Project, tornando a banda semi ativa nos dias de hoje.

Carreira

1989–1995: Formação, estreia major e separação
Gilles de Rais foi formada em 1989 na cidade de Osaka por ex-membros das bandas Cry-Max e Christian Doll. No ano seguinte, lançaram seu álbum de estreia intitulado Damned Pictures pela gravadora Moon Drops. Logo depois, conseguiram um contrato na Extasy Records com Yoshiki, que contou que ele e Joe se tornaram amigos brigando entre si. Em 30 de junho de 1991 participaram do evento Moon Light Revolution ao lado de artistas como Luna Sea, Morrie e Tokyo Yankees. Gilles de Rais também fazia shows em conjunto com o Luna Sea com frequência.

Em 21 de janeiro de 1992 lançaram o álbum Satsui. A faixa título e "Suicide" contam com os vocais de apoio de Tetsuya e Hyde do L'Arc~en~Ciel, banda que costumava ser o ato de abertura dos shows do Gilles de Rais. Fizeram três shows em Meguro Rokumeikan e um show solo na Nissin Power Station promovendo o lançamento de Satsui. O álbum alcançou a primeira posição na parada de álbuns independentes da Oricon, vendendo cerca de 20 mil cópias.

No ano seguinte, conseguiram um contrato com a grande gravadora Pony Canyon e lançaram o álbum Because em 18 de junho, que também alcançou a primeira posição de indies da Oricon, foi gravado em Los Angeles e produzido com Joe Barresi. Os ingressos para seu último show como banda independente esgotaram em cerca de 20 minutos. Mais tarde, participaram do evento Neo Generation Wave e tocaram com a banda Speed-ID. Após lançarem os álbuns Gilles de Rais e Japan em 1993 e Crack a Boy em 1994, em junho de 1995 a banda se separou.

2017–presente: Gilles de Rais Project
Em 2017, Joe iniciou o Gilles de Rais Project e se filiou a Haunted House Records, tornando o grupo semi-ativo. Em 5 de abril lançaram o álbum Unfortune contendo demos e gravações ao vivo feitas no início da banda. Em 2018, o projeto fez um show especial chamado Rebel Without a Cause e em 8 de dezembro, Gilles de Rais, Justy-Nasty, Mein Kampf e Strawberry Song Orchestra participaram do festival da Haunted House onde tocaram covers de Dead End, The Mad Capsule Markets, Color e The Williard.

Em 2021, Gilles de Rais lançou uma demo chamada Before the Revolution, contendo 3 canções gravadas em 1989 e nunca lançadas. Com 100 cópias no máximo, foi vendida por pedido na loja da Haunted House. Em 2023, Gilles de Rais anunciou um show em Tóquio com a formação completa no dia 2 de dezembro onde revelarão sua primeira canção inédita em 23 anos, "Cold X", além de contar com a participação de Seth do Moi Dix Mois.

Estilo musical
Os gêneros musicais de seu primeiro álbum Damned Pictures incorporam rock progressivo, post-punk, folk e rock gótico. Após a entrada da banda na Extasy Records, eles adicionaram o hardcore punk ainda focando no post punk e rock gótico. Influenciados por The Stalin, The Williard, Dead End, Boøwy e seus colegas Luna Sea, o guitarrista Jack também citou Ritchie Blackmore e Randy Rhoads como suas influências.

Como uma banda de visual kei (apesar de o termo ainda não existir na época), eles davam ênfase para seus visuais e usavam roupas pretas, maquiagem, máscaras, bandagens ensanguentadas e braçadeiras. Esta estética obscura de Gilles de Rais marcaria o visual kei pelos próximos anos.

Smax is a fictional character from the comic book series Top 10 written by Alan Moore, illustrated by Gene Ha, and published by America's Best Comics imprint of DC Comics. A Top-10 spin-off mini-series also called Smax focused on the character and provided him with more of a backstory.

Character history and description
Jeff Smax (born Jaafs Macksun) is a gigantic, blue-skinned, white-haired, super-powered, demi-ogre policeman who lives and works at Precinct 10, in a city populated by "science heroes". Smax originally hailed from a land based on fantasy myths and fairy tale legends but had left after a horrifying failure during his career as a dragon slayer. Smax is both extremely strong and invulnerable to most forms of harm, including radiation. He is gruff and guarded amongst his peers, mostly due to the frequent loss of loved ones he has experienced in life (most notably his dear friend and late partner, Stochastic Fats). Though initially reluctant to become friendly with his new partner, Robyn Slinger AKA Toybox, he eventually bonds with her, even feeling a need to protect her. The pair are not romantically involved, however; Smax has an intimate relationship with his twin sister, Rexa. This is not an unusual situation in Smax's home dimension, which has far different laws of physics and science. Rexa eventually comes to live with Smax; the details of their unique relationship is known to Robyn, who keeps it secret. Smax is fairly resourceful in the line of duty, but he has a quick temper and is not intellectually inclined, often not thinking things through. Smax has experience using weaponry, including his Singing Sword, but he most often prefers using his fists or his Strong Light energy (which emanates from his solar plexus).

Publishing history
The Smax miniseries was written by Alan Moore, and penciled by Zander Cannon, who also inked the first issue. Andrew Currie inked the rest of the miniseries.

Mini-series plot
The story deals with Smax and Toybox returning, via magical teleportation, to Jeff's magically enchanted homeworld. Smax, now a city dweller, seems embarrassed by his unsophisticated, sword-and-sorcery roots. They attend Smax's uncle's funeral where Jeff introduces Robyn as his wife, though no such relationship exists. At this point Jeff's sister Rexa Macksun is introduced, dressed in the typical garb of a female fantasy barbarian such as Red Sonja and just as tall and physically impressive as her brother with the same blue skin and white hair.

It is revealed Jeff has been away from home for some time, having originally left his world fleeing personal and literal demons. Once a great dragon slayer, a job needed to pay the bills for his adopted dwarven family, Smax fails to stop an extremely powerful, shape-shifting dragon named Morningbright from destroying a little girl. She was burned to ashes in front of him, forever leaving a white burn mark of a hand on his chest.

Further story developments reveal sexual tension between Smax and his sister. The two were born of an unwilling union between a monster and a human warrior woman with magical strength. Despite this, the pressure of twins kills her during childbirth. Her durability is passed on to her children. Their monstrous father would abuse them both and molest the sister, who would also find love and solace in her brother's arms. Smax would eventually kill his father so they could escape together. Though in their medieval homeworld their relationship wasn't particularly frowned upon, Smax developed conflicted feelings about the propriety of their love. For various reasons, Smax, Rexa, Robyn, and other heroes venture out to destroy Morningbright. Smax's heroic efforts cause the mark on his chest to be removed.

The series was collected into a hardcover edition () in 2004 and in paperback () on November 2, 2005.

Geminering, gemination (af latin geminus "tvilling") eller konsonantforlængelse er et begreb inden for fonetik, som beskriver at en konsonant bliver lang, dvs. udtales i en hørbart længere periode end en kort konsonant.

Konsonantlængde er en egenskab i de sprog der skelner mellem korte og lange konsonanter, heriblandt arabisk, berbisk, katalansk, estisk, finsk, klassisk hebraisk, ungarsk, italiensk, japansk, latin og tamil.

De fleste sprog har ikke lange konsonanter. I verdens sprog er vokallængde en mere udbredt egenskab end konsonantlængde. Nogle sprog gør brug af begge uafhængigt af hinanden (f.eks. i arabisk, japansk, finsk og estisk), og nogle har indbyrdes afhængige vokal- og konsonantlængder (som i norsk og svensk).

Konsonantlængde i dansk
Rigsdansk har ikke lange konsonanter, idet dobbelte konsonanter udelukkende er dobbelte på papiret. Eksempler er ordpar som:

dame /da:mə/
damme /dɑmə/

vener /ve:nɐ/
venner /vɛnɐ/

ruser /ru:sɐ/
russer /rusɐ/

Her bevirker enkelt konsonant at den foregående vokal er lang, og dobbelt konsonant bevirker at vokalen er kort, men selve konsonanterne påvirkes ikke.

Jysk skelner derimod mellem korte og lange konsonanter, for eksempel:
kom /kom/
komme /kom:/

møl /møl/
mølle /møl:/

Beskrivelsen af dansk er dog mere kompliceret end som så. I det traditionelle system kan det beskrives således:

I mere lydnære beskrivelser af dansk fonologi vurderer man at dansk har et system med lange konsonanter, som opstår pga. bortfaldet af svage vokaler i moderne udtale:

تصميم الأزياء هو فن من الفنون التطبيقية المتخصصة في تصميم الملابس، وهو جزء من الثقافة الإنسانية حيث يسعى الانسان الى تلبية حاجاته من خلال استخدم ما لديه من خيال ومعرفة ومهارة في ابتكار ما يحقق له هذه الاحتياجات. والتصميم هو فن وقتي أو موسمي حيث يتأثر بما حوله ويعدّ من توابع الحياة الثقافية والتأثيرات الاجتماعية، ويتسم هذا الفن بالتجديد والتنوع الإبهار موسم بعد موسم.

يمكن تعريف تصميم الأزياء بأنه ذلك الكيان المبتكر والمتجدد في خطوطه ومساحاته اللونية وخاماته المتنوعة، التي يحاول مصمم الأزياء أن يترجم بها عناصر التكوين إلى تصميم مستحدث ومعايش لظروف الواقع بصورة تشكيلية جميلة. وهو عملية إضافية، الغرض منها ابتكار عمل جديد يؤدي عدة وظائف منها المادي والجمالي، أي أن عملية التصميم تعدّ عملا مبتكرا يحقق غرضه بإضافة شيء جديد.

واتفق مصممي العالم على أن يكون هناك موسمين للأزياء سنويا، موسم محدد لفصلي الخريف والشتاء أوالربيع والصيف. من أشهر المدن المهتمة بالأزياء هي باريس وميلان ولندن ونيويورك، وتوجد في هذه المدن أشهر المصممين تاريخيا وفي وقتنا الحالي. مثل كوكو شانيل وهي صاحبة دار شانيل و إيف سان لوران وكريستيان ديور ومن الجدد كالفين كلاين ورالف لورين.

وتصميم الأزياء هو اللغة التي تشكلها مجموعة عناصر في تكوين موحد (الخط والشكل واللون والنسيج)، وتعدّ هذه المتغيرات أساس لتعبيره، وتتأثر بالأسس التصميمية لتعطي السيطرة والتكامل والتوازن والإيقاع والنسبة، لكي يحصل الفرد في النهاية على زي يشعره بالتناسق ويربطه بالمجتمع الذي يعيش فيه. ويخضع تصميم الأزياء إلى عناصر مرنة سهلة التبديل والتشكيل مثل الخامات، وهي الأقمشة والمنسوجات سواء منسوجة أو غير المنسوجة وفي وقتنا الحاضر أصبحت متعددة الأنواع والألوان والتركيب النسجي، ويوجد منها الآن العديد من الخامات المنتجة من الألياف الصناعية بجانب الألياف الطبيعية والمخلوطة التي لها طبيعة خاصة .

والتصميم عبارة عن عملية تخطيط حيث يعمل المصمم علي إيجاد حل للمشكلة بناء علي متطلبات العميل والمعلومات والإمكانيات المتوفرة لديه ويجب الاعتماد علي الطرق التجريبية لضمان أن التصميم يراعي كل المتطلبات والشروط المفروضة.

عالم الأقمشة يؤثر كثيرا على عالم الازياء ونستطيع القول بأن صناعة الاقمشة هي المحرك الأول لوضع أساس الموضة في كل سنة طبعا باستشارة كبار المصممين في العالم. وقد بدأ هذا الفن بشكل عام في القرن التاسع عشر مع شارل فريدريك الذي كان أول شخص يضع علامة تعبر عن منتوجاته. ويمكن فقط اعتبار الملابس التي انشئت بعد عام 1858 تصميم ازياء.

وينقسم عالم الازياء إلى نوعين من الملابس:
الملابس الراقية والملابس الجاهزة وقد نجد مصمم يقوم بالاثنين وخاصة المصممين العالميين ذوي رؤوس الاموال العالية جدا، وتعدّ صناعة الملابس تجارة كبيرة ومورد قوي جدا في بعض الدول، والمصممين المشاهير من أغنى الناس في العالم.

تصنيفات الأزياء
هذا وتتنوع مجالات وطرق وأساليب تصميم الأزياء وتختلف باختلاف السوق المستهدف، ويمكن تقسيم الأزياء إلى أربعة أنواع رئيسية هي:
 الأزياء الاستعراضية: Costume Design
يستخدم مصطلح تصميم الأزياء الاستعراضية للتعبير عن الأزياء المستخدمة في العروض المسرحية والسينما، وغالباً ما يقوم مصمم الأزياء الاستعراضية بتصميم الأحذية والقبعات وملابس الرأس وأحياناً أيضاً تصميم الأقنعة والماكياج الذي سيظهر به الممثل.

 الأزياء الراقية: Haute Couture
إن تصميم الأزياء قبل عام 1950م كان مقتصر على الأزياء الراقية Haute Couture أو الأزياء المصممة لمقاس ما Made- to- Measure (الأزياء المصممة لعميل معين)، وتصميم الأزياء الراقية يستخدم لتعريف الأزياء المصممة لفئة من المستهلكين الذين تم تحديدهم جيداً، وتتميز أزياء هذه الفئة بالأناقة والجودة العالية واستخدام خامات مرتفعة الثمن ومحاكة بعناية فائقة في جميع التفاصيل والتشطيبات النهائية.

 الملابس الجاهزة: Ready- to- Wear
والملابس الجاهزة هي الملابس التي تجمع بين بعض صفات الأزياء الراقية وملابس الإنتاج الكمي. فهي ليست مصممة لعميل بعينه، ولكنها تتميز بعناية كبيرة في اختيار خاماتها ومراحل قصها وإنتاجها
 الإنتاج الكمي: Mass Market

نجد أن صناعة الملابس هذه الأيام تعتمد بصورة كبيرة على الإنتاج الكمي ويتم إنتاج هذه الملابس بكميات كبيرة وبمقاسات ثابتة ومحددة وبخامات رخيصة نسبيا، ويستخدم مصممي ملابس الإنتاج الكمي اتجاهات الموضة التي يحددها مصممي الأزياء في بيوت الأزياء الراقية والملابس الجاهزة.

تصنيفات تصميم الأزياء
من المتفق عليه أن التصميم له معنيين فهو عملية (فعل) ومنتج (اسم)، كعملية: البحث وتحديد مصدر الإلهام والتخطيط والتنظيم لتحقيق الأهداف التصميمية، وكاسم: فهو الناتج النهائي من هذه العملية.
 التصميم الوظيفي:
وهو يرتبط بالدرجة الأولى بوظيفة التصميم والهدف الذي صمم من اجله أي الناحية الوظيفية للملبس، فعند وضع الفكرة يضع المصمم نصب عينيه وظيفة الشيء المراد تصميمه، فتصميم ازياء المساء يختلف عن تصميم ازياء لحضور حفلة تنكرية.

 التصميم البنائي:
وفي مجال تصميم الملابس فإن التصميم البنائي الخاص بعملية البناء والتخطيط للزى من تحديد خطوطه البنائية الخارجية وتفاصيل أجزائه الداخلية لخدمة الجسم البشري وراحته باستخدام القماش في تشكيله، حيث يراعى نوعية الخامة التي تستخدم في التنفيذ فقد تكون منسوجة أو غير منسوجة وتريكو حيث تلعب دوراً هاماً بمتانتها وجودتها من المحافظة على بناء الموديل وهيكله الخارجي وبالتالي شكله الجمالي.
وهو التصميم الذي يحدد من خلال عدة تساؤلات تكمن في كيفية البناء وتحديد الخطوط وأشكال الأجزاء المراد تصميمها، وكيف تجمع بين تصميمه البنائي ووظيفته وارتباط كل منهما بالآخر في إعطاء الشكل المبسط المؤدي للغرض الذي صمم من أجله.

 التصميم الزخرفي:
وهو تطوير للتصميم البنائي بغرض إضافة جماليات تغير البناء الخارجي أو صفته وهو يتم في تصميم الملابس بإحدى طريقتين إما بإضافة خامات خارجية للقطعة الملبسية مثل الخيوط والأزرار بدون عراوي وسوست وشرائط الدانتيلا والأساور والياقات والقلابات بدون جيوب أو عن طريق الصباغة والطباعة أو وحدات التطريز بأساليبه المتنوعة من غرز مختلفة بحيث تتفق هذه الزخارف مع التصميم البنائي فتظهره أكثر رونقاً وجمالاً لجذب الانتباه إليه، فالتصميم الزخرفي رغم بساطته أحياناً لا غنى عنه للتصميم حتى لإكسابه مزيداً من الغنى.

ولا يعني بتقسيم التصميم إلي تصميم وظيفي وبنائي وزخرفي أن كل منهم جزء مستقل بذاته أو انه كل منهم لا يرتبط بالأخر ولكن يجب أن يكون التصميم الوظيفي شاملا للتصميم البنائي والتصميم البنائي شاملا للتصميم الزخرفي وفي نفس الوقت مكملا للتصميم الوظيفي ومعبرا عنه وان يكون التصميم الزخرفي مكملا للتصميم البنائي وهكذا بحيث يخدم كل منهم الأخر ويبرزه .

Lamon Tajuan Brewster (born June 5, 1973) is an American former professional boxer who competed from 1996 to 2010. He held the WBO heavyweight title from 2004 to 2006, and is best known for scoring an upset knockout victory over Wladimir Klitschko to win the vacant title. He was ranked as the world's No.8 heavyweight by BoxRec at the conclusion of 2004. As an amateur, Brewster won the U.S. national championships in 1995, and a silver medal at that year's Pan American Games, both in the heavyweight division. Following his retirement from the sport in 2011, he became an entrepreneur and founded a consulting business.

Amateur career
Brewster won the 1995 U.S. national amateur championship as a heavyweight. Additional highlights include:

 1995 2nd place at the Pan American Games in Mar del Plata, Argentina. Results were:
Defeated Moises Rolon (Puerto Rico) PTS
Lost to Félix Savón (Cuba) RSCH-2
Brewster failed to qualify for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics after he lost to Nate Jones and DaVarryl Williamson in the trials.

Professional career

1996–2003: Prospect to contender

Brewster turned professional in 1996 and was undefeated for his first three years as a pro until losing decisions to Clifford Etienne and Charles Shufford in 2000.

2004–2005: WBO heavyweight champion and title defenses

On April 10, 2004, Brewster faced Wladimir Klitschko in a fight for the vacant World Boxing Organization championship that had been vacated by Corrie Sanders, who had upset Klitschko by knocking him out in the second round of their fight in 2003, when he decided to challenge Vitali Klitschko for the World Boxing Council title vacated when Lennox Lewis retired.

Brewster was dominated in the early going, knocked down once in the fourth round. In the fifth round, Brewster hurt Klitschko with a left hook that forced the Ukrainian fighter to use the ropes to hold himself up, which resulted in a knockdown. As the round ended, Brewster hit Klitschko with a combination of punches that caused him to go down after the bell sounded. Seeing Klitschko struggle to return to his feet, referee Robert Byrd stopped the fight and awarded a technical knockout victory to Brewster. Klitschko claimed foul play resulted in his defeat but an investigation found nothing.

For eleven years, Brewster remained the last boxer to defeat Klitschko in the ring, until Tyson Fury defeated Klitschko in a 2015 heavyweight fight. Brewster remains the second last boxer to knock Klitschko out in a bout, preceding Anthony Joshua, who won by TKO on the 11th round defeating Wladimir Klitschko on 30 April 2017.

2006–2007: Brewster vs. Liakhovich and Klitschko II

Brewster lost his WBO title by unanimous decision on April 1, 2006 to Sergei Liakhovich from Belarus in an action-packed fight. In an interview following the fight, Brewster said that he could not see with his left eye after the first round. It was later confirmed that he had suffered a detached retina in his left eye and he had to undergo surgery.

Lamon Brewster returned to the ring on July 7, 2007, losing his rematch against Wladimir Klitschko after trainer Buddy McGirt stopped the fight after the sixth round. The fight took place in Köln (Cologne), Germany, for the IBF & IBO heavyweight title.

2008–2010: Tail end of career

After two tune-up bouts, he was upset by Gbenga Oloukun by an eight-round points decision. The following year he was stopped by rising contender Robert Helenius.
At one point in his career, Brewster was managed by The Simpsons co-creator, professional poker player and philanthropist, Sam Simon,. Later Brewster left Simon and signed with manager Al Haymon.

Retirement
On January 9, 2011, Lamon Brewster officially announced his retirement as a professional boxer. Brewster cited an eye injury from his last fight with Helenius as the reason for this retirement. Further, he indicated that he believes that Helenius tampered with his gloves which caused the resulting injury to Brewster. He underwent four unsuccessful surgeries to restore sight in his left eye. Further surgery allowed him to regain vision in the eye.

Personal life

From 1993–97 Brewster was married to actress Tichina Arnold (of Martin and Everybody Hates Chris fame). Brewster remarried his current wife "Juana" Brewster in October 2000, and together they have two daughters and a son. Brewster also has one older daughter from a previous relationship. He is also the cousin of former IBF and WBO heavyweight champion Chris Byrd. Brewster has made several television appearances as well as public service announcements through his career.

Entrepreneurship
Brewster founded "Fighting Connection Consulting" in July 2011 providing expertise to professional fighters on training methods, psychology, nutrition, conditioning, team building, and publicity.

Ensembles

Ensemble Gut Bannacker

Der Gutshof Bannacker, eine heute noch intakte, unregelmäßige Anlage, ist im Laufe des 19. Jahrhunderts aus einem Weiler hervorgegangen. Der Ort, der seit dem 13. Jahrhundert zum Augsburger Heilig-Geist-Spital gehörte, bestand zur Zeit der Säkularisation aus fünf Höfen. Aus ihnen wuchs nach dem Übergang in Privatbesitz der Gutshof zusammen:

Um 1820/30 entstand das so genannte Alte Herrenhaus, das um die Mitte des Jahrhunderts mit seinem Wirtschaftsgebäude zur Hakenanlage verbunden wurde; um 1895 erfolgte die Verschmelzung der beiden südlichen Höfe zu einem langgestreckten Wirtschaftstrakt unter Verwendung alter Teile;

1905 schließlich errichtete man im Norden die herrschaftliche Villa mit anschließendem Park, auf welche die Wohnfunktion des so genannten Alten Herrenhauses überging. Als eigenständiger Hof blieb die ehemals burgauische Jägersölde bestehen. Einen wichtigen baulichen Akzent setzt die barocke Kapelle an der Nordwestecke.

===අභ්‍යාවකාශයේ සතුන්===

1946 දී ඇමරිකානුවන් විසින් අත්පත් කර ගත් ජර්මානු V-2 රොකට්ටු මඟින් පලතුරු මැස්සන් මුදා හැරීම, විද්‍යාත්මක අධ්‍යයනයන් සඳහා වාර්තා ගත සතුන් අභ්‍යාවකාශයට මුදා හැරීමේ  ප්‍රථම  අවස්ථාව විය.

«وات دو آي هاف تو دو»  أو «ماذا علي أن أفعل» هي أغنية للفنانة الأسترالية كايلي مينوغ والتي أخذت من ألبومها الثالث ريذم أوف لوف (1990). وهي من تأليف وإنتاج فريق ستوك أيتكين واترمان. كان من المقرر في الأصل أن تصدر الأغنية بعد «بيتر ذا دافل يو نو»، ولكن أصدرت «ستيب باك إن تايم» بدلا منها لتكون هذه الأغنية الثالثة التي تصدر في 21 يناير 1991. تلقت الأغنية مراجعات إيجابية من معظم نقاد الموسيقى، الذي رأوا أن الأغنية أصبحت من فورها كلاسيكية بين أغاني البوب. وقد وصفت الأغنية بأنها تتبع موسيقى الريف، ما يعكس اهتمام مينوغ المتزايد بموسيقى الهاوس.

وصلت الأغنية إلى المركز 11 في مسقط رأسها أستراليا. وبلغت المركز السادس في المملكة المتحدة. كما حققت نجاحا طفيفا في فرنسا وهولندا.

أدت مينوغ الأغنية في معظم جولاتها الموسيقية، مثل جولة ريذم أوف لوف، جولة ليتس غيت تو إت، جولة إنتميت أند لايف. كما أدتها في جولة شوغيرل: ذا غريتيست هيتس وجولة هومكامينغ، وفي الآونة الأخيرة أدت الأغنية في جولة أفروديت ورلد تور.

Robin Hobb es el segundo seudónimo de la novelista Margaret Astrid Lindholm Ogden (1952, California) cuya obra se centra principalmente en la fantasía, aunque también ha escrito algunas obras de ciencia ficción.

Desde 1983 hasta 1992 escribió exclusivamente bajo el seudónimo de Megan Lindholm. Sus trabajos con ese alias suelen ser fantasía contemporánea. En 1995 comenzó a utilizar el seudónimo Robin Hobb para obras orientadas a la fantasía medieval épica más tradicional. Hoy en día publica con los dos nombres y vive en Tacoma, Washington.

Hasta 2003 había vendido más de un millón de ejemplares de sus primeras nueve novelas como Robin Hobb y en estos últimos años terminó de escribir una novela en cuatro volúmenes llamada The Rain Wild Chronicles. Estos volúmenes recibieron los nombres de The Dragon Keeper, Dragon Haven y City of Dragons, mientras que el último, Blood of Dragons está previsto para 2013. Otro de sus últimos lanzamientos, The Inheritance, es una colección de historias cortas de ficción escritas en parte como Robin Hobb y en parte como Megan Lindholm.

Inicios
Ogden nació en California en 1952 pero creció en Alaska. Tras graduarse en el instituto estudió un año en la Universidad de Denver para después regresar a Alaska y tras casarse a los dieciocho se mudó a Kodiak, una isla en la costa sur de ese estado. Fue durante ese periodo cuando vendió su primer relato y comenzó una carrera literaria escribiendo para publicaciones infantiles. "Bones for Dulath", en Amazons!, fue la primera obra de fantasía que publicó como Megan Lindholm. La antología fue publicada por Daw, editada por Jessica Amanda Salmonson y ganó el Premio Mundial de Fantasía a la Mejor Antología del Año. Durante la década siguiente viajó por América antes de asentarse en Washington y continuar su carrera como escritora de fantasía y ciencia ficción. Tiene tres hijos mayores y una hija pequeña.

Sus libros han sido alabados por Orson Scott Card. Card ha dicho de ella que "sin ninguna duda establece el nivel para las novelas de fantasía adulta actuales."

Trilogía del Vatídico (The Farseer Trilogy)
La trilogía del Vatídico sigue la vida de Traspié Hidalgo Vatídico (Fitz Chivalry Farseer en el original), conocido como Traspié, en un reino llamado los Seis Ducados mientras su tío, el Príncipe Veraz, intenta hacerle la guerra a los Corsarios de la Vela Roja de las Islas del Margen, quienes atacan las costas del reino convirtiendo a la gente de los Seis Ducados en Forjados: aún vivos pero sin emociones, sin alma. Mientras tanto, los celos del Príncipe Regio y su complacencia ante sus propios caprichos amenaza con destruir los Seis Ducados.

La trilogía de Las Leyes del Mar tiene lugar principalmente al suroeste de los Seis Ducados en el Mitonar (Bingtown), colonia dependiente de la Satrapía de Jamaillia, y se centra en las naos redivivas (barcos conscientes). La trilogía es inusualmente náutica (un tema pocas veces tratado en la fantasía) y su germen habría sido aparentemente la idea de presentar barcos que estuvieran literalmente vivos y fueran conscientes.

Robin Hobb


was a town located in Takashima District, Shiga Prefecture, Japan.

As of 2003, the town had an estimated population of 14,245 and a density of 293.89 persons per km². The total area was 48.47 km².

On January 1, 2005, Adogawa, along with the towns of Takashima, Imazu, Makino and Shin'asahi, and the village of Kutsuki (all from Takashima District), was merged to create the city of Takashima.

Adogawa is one of the more densely populated areas in Takashima City. There are many stores around the JR Adogawa Station.

Adogawa is well known for its fan ribs (the wooden part that comprises the skeleton of traditional Japanese hand fans), and roughly 80% of fan ribs made in Japan come from Adogawa.

In Adogawa, there is one prefectural high school, one junior high school, and five elementary schools. There are plans to create a new prefectural middle school within Adogawa High School by 2008.
