The Denmark Place fire occurred on 16 August 1980 in Denmark Place, Central London, United Kingdom. Petty criminal John Thompson (1938-2008) was a customer at a nightclub. He argued with a bartender because he believed he had been overcharged for a drink there. Thompson was ejected. He returned later that night with petrol and paper, which he used to deliberately set fire to the building, killing 37 people. In May 1981, Thompson was convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. He was kept in prison until he died.

Tony Cuesta (13 June 1926 — 2 December 1992) was an anti-Castro Cuban activist.

Life
Cuesta was educated at the University of Havana. Initially a member of the 26th of July Movement and a close supporter of Fidel Castro, Cuesta in 1960 defected to the United States, and in 1961 was one of the founders of the anti-Communist paramilitary organization Alpha 66. He later set up the guerilla group "Comandos L" (the L standing for Libertad) which operated out of Anguilla and, under his command, in 1963 sank the Soviet freighter Baku in Caibarién Harbour.

In 1966 Cuesta was captured in Cuba, in a skirmish that cost him a hand and his eyesight. He remained in prison there until 1978. After his release he returned to Miami, and refounded Comandos L.

He died in Miami on 2 December 1992. He was married four times.

Anita Doron (born June 3, 1974) is a Hungarian-Canadian film director, screenwriter, producer, cinematographer, author, and a 2010 TED Fellow. Doron is best known for her 2012 film adaptation of the 1996 novel The Lesser Blessed, written by Canadian author Richard Van Camp.

Early life
Doron was born in Transcarpathia, a region of the former USSR. Her family members were high altitude mountaineers and they often spent summers in the mountainous regions of Georgia and Armenia. On her TED personal profile, Doron discloses that her parents' ideologies influenced her own way of life early on. She states: "My mother rejected the official truth handed down by the government and my father refused the reality accepted by the middle class, leading me to seek and witness alternative truths from an early age". At age 15, Doron was almost "sold into marriage for 200 sheep in remote Uzbekistan".

Before filmmaking, Doron's initial creative outlet was poetry. She wrote her first poem after a family trip to the Black Sea when she was five years old. Her short poem about the sea made a strong impression on her mother, which encouraged Doron to continue composing poetry. Doron joined a young poets' group led by a local author and her poems were published at local and regional levels. Doron became "one of the youngest published poets in the former USSR". In an interview with TED Blog, Doron explains that one of her published poems was criticized because readers did not believe that a child composed it.  She eventually stopped composing poems to focus on filmmaking. She told a reporter: "I don't write poetry anymore but, to me, filmmaking is poetry."

Doron considers her shift from poetry writing to filmmaking a "natural transition". While her poetry style was very visual to begin with, she had been experimenting with images from an early age because her father was an amateur photographer. Doron made her first film when she was 12 years old with the help of a friend and the friend's father's Super 8 camera. Doron's subject was the man-made "Verke" river that ran through the city she was born in. This river was so polluted by toxic waste that the residents of the city were no longer able to swim in it. Doron and her friend attempted to document how it was being polluted, as well as, the community's thoughts on the subject, but the only people who cooperated with the teens were drunks roaming the banks of the river. Doron was eventually summoned to the city's deputy mayor's office where she was advised to abandon her project or her parents would lose their jobs. However, her mother and father supported her project and urged her to complete it. She eventually had the prints developed, but when they returned from the lab, the negatives were clear. In a blog post on her personal website, Doron explains that she does not think that her film was ruined by the "office of the deputy mayor," but because of problems she had with the exposure. Nevertheless, this experience impacted Doron because she realized that her project had frightened those in positions of power. She states: "There was no turning back after that, because I saw how powerful filmmaking can be".

Doron eventually illegally fled the USSR and immigrated to the Middle East where she settled for a short period of time. She then moved to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where she attended Ryerson University from 1998 to 2001.

Education and personal life
At Ryerson University, Doron studied film and enrolled in courses such as film theory, cinematography, scriptwriting, producing, and directing. In her last year, she obtained an internship with Serendipity Point Films. During her internship, she worked as an Art Department research assistant on Atom Egoyan's 2002 film Ararat.

In university, Doron was awarded two Norman Jewison Filmmaker Awards for her class assignments. One of the projects was her thesis film Simulacrum, which she wrote and directed. This short film also won Best Student Film at the International Festival of Cinema and Technology in 2002 and was part of the Official Selection at Sprockets Toronto International Film Festival For Children, Cleveland International Film Festival, and Leeds Underground Film Festival.

Doron has one son, who was born in 2011.

Career

Film
Following her graduation from Ryerson University in 2001, Doron produced her first short film Not a Fish Story (2002). She wrote, as well as, directed the short and garnered the funds to produce it from the Ontario Arts Council. The short was screened at the Toronto International Film Festival, Les Rendez-Vous Du Cinema Québécois, Taos Talking Pictures, Women's Film Festival in Vermont, and the Sherbrook Short Film Festival. Not a Fish Story was also nominated for the Best Short 2003 Banff Rookie Award and won third place in the Best Comedy category at ZoieFest 2003.

In 2004, Doron directed her second short film Elliot Smelliot (2003). The short film was financed by the Ontario Media Development Corporation and was an official selection at multiple film festivals including the Toronto International Film Festival, Cinefest Sudbury, and the Vancouver International Film Festival.

Between 2005 and 2009, Doron directed multiple music videos in collaboration with TWOTHREEFIVEFILMS, a film production company based in Toronto. In 2005, she directed the music videos for Canadian singer-songwriter Sarah Harmer's 2005 singles "I Am Aglow" and "Oleander". In 2006, she directed music videos for The Miniatures' "Actors and Soldiers" and Theresa Sokyrka's "Waiting Song" and "Sandy Eyes". A year later she directed Prairie Oyster's "One Kiss". Lastly, in 2009, she directed and crafted the illustrations for Octoberman's "Trapped in the New Scene". In a blog post, Doron explained that the illustrations were based on a fairy-tale she had written in her childhood about aliens. The subsequent animation of these images was executed by animators at Pixalite.

In 2006, Doron released her first feature film The End of Silence. Acting as screenwriter, director, and cinematographer, she shot the film in a "guerilla style" over the course of 52 days with a very small crew and budget. Doron wrote the script based on the story of one of her friends, "a former ballerina at the Kirov Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, and Broadway". Casting Sarah Harmer in a key supporting role, Doron cites this film as "the beginning of [her] love for non-traditional feature filmmaking with non professional actors". The End of Silence was screened at multiple film festivals including the Kingston Film Festival, Flint Festival, NXNE Film and Music Festival, and the Focus Niagara Film Festival. The film also won many awards in 2006, such as Best Feature at the Canadian Filmmakers Festival, Best Foreign Film at the Tahoe/Reno Film Festival, and Best in Show at the Female Eye Film Festival.

The Canadian Film Centre Media Lab recruited Doron in 2007 to work on Late Fragment, a project developed within the institution's Interactive Narrative Feature Program. This project was co-produced by the Canadian Film Centre (CFC) and the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) and was led by Ana Serrano from the CFC and Anita Lee from the NFB. Working in collaboration with two other filmmakers (Daryl Cloran and Mateo Guez), Doron wrote and directed one of the three parts of Late Fragment. Late Fragment is cited as "North America's first interactive feature film". The three filmmakers drew inspiration for the story by attending "a restorative justice process in Montreal". After deliberating, they reconvened at a later date to present their ideas and establish connections between the various storylines. Late Fragment was screened at the Toronto International Film Festival and the Future of Cinema Salon during the 2008 Cannes Film Festival.

In 2009, Doron worked on three short documentaries in collaboration with City Sonic. The productions she directed were Tony Dekker (Great Lake Swimmers) at the Subway, Sebastian Grainger at El Mocambo and Damian Abraham (Fucked Up) at Rotate This. Tony Dekker (Great Lake Swimmers) at the Subway premiered worldwide at the Toronto International Film Festival.

The following year, Doron released her second feature film Europa, East (2010). Doron was credited as the producer, writer, director, and cinematographer. Like The End of Silence, Europa, East was another film shot using guerilla tactics. Doron cast her cousin in the lead role and saw this film as an opportunity to experiment "on tiny Arts Council funding". The film premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2010.

In 2012, Doron completed The Lesser Blessed. After reading the Richard Van Camp novel, Doron chose to write the screenplay for The Lesser Blessed because she was interested in the idea of a person alienated and living on the margins of society. Doron had begun adapting a screenplay for the book in 2008, and in preparation for the film, she travelled to the Northwest Territories to research the habits and lives of the First Nations people living there. Doron visited Van Camp's hometown, Fort Smith, and stayed there for a month to write the screenplay. After completing the screenplay, Doron had trouble finding a company to fund the project. In an interview with TED Blog she explains:

People would question, 'Why are you making a story about a First Nations kid?" And I would say, "Why wouldn't I?" I love the story, I understand the world and I think it's one of the most original characters in Canadian literature I've come across. He happens to be Native. I identify with him because of who he is.

The project was eventually funded by Telefilm Canada through the Canada Feature Film Fund in 2012. After receiving funding for the project, Doron returned to Fort Smith for the casting process. Van Camp's hometown was the last stop on a five-day trip where Doron visited various Native communities in search of the boy who would play Larry Sole, the main character. Doron finally cast Joel Evans in the lead role. She states:

On the very last day, as we were leaving and I was considering some kids for call-back, I saw this kid in the hallway cracking jokes and looking exactly the way I had envisioned this character in my head for six years. He didn't bother coming to the audition because he had a math test and better things to do.

The film premiered at the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival. In 2015, it was announced that Doron would be adapting the screenplay for the 2017 animated feature The Breadwinner.

TED fellowship
Doron was a TED fellowship recipient in 2010. During her year-long mandate, she worked on a film called Talk Derby to Me with other TED fellows, including Jessica Green. After her mandate, she participated in a conference in Berlin for the TEDBerlin Salon in 2014. Doron's portion of the conference took place at Wiesenburg, an abandoned asylum. There, she set up an "experiential installation about memory, dislocation, and the fuzziness of one's defined inner borders". She also helped to organize independent events for TEDx in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

Literary works
Doron released a graphic novella in 2012 entitled Lola Grimm and the Humanity Machine. Since 2014, she has been writing a science fiction graphic novel named Noli Timere in collaboration with Jessica Green, a former TED Fellow.

Awards and nominations
In 2003, Doron was placed at number 7 on Wendy Banks' "Top 10 Canadians to Look Out For" in Now Magazine. In 2005, she won the Kodak New Vision Fellowship. Over the course of this program, Doron was mentored in the creative and business aspects of filmmaking by the renowned Canadian filmmaker Deepa Mehta and the co-president of Maple Pictures Corp., Laurie May. This fellowship was meant to prepare her for the Toronto International Film Festival.

In 2012, along with six other female Canadian filmmakers, Doron was honored for her "contribution to Canada's cinematographic heritage". The following year she garnered a Canadian Screen Award nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay at the 1st Canadian Screen Awards for The Lesser Blessed. However, she lost to Salman Rushdie.

Nikolaus Harnoncourt (born Berlin, 6 December 1929, died St. Georgen im Attergau, 5 March 2016) was an Austrian conductor.  He was famous for his conducting music from many years ago using orchestras with period instruments.

Life
Harnoncourt was born in Berlin into a noble family who were related to the Holy Roman Emperors and other European royalties.  His full name was Johann Nicolaus Graf de la Fontaine und d'Harnoncourt-Unverzag.  He was brought up in Graz, Austria and studied music in Vienna.

From 1952 to 1969 he was a cellist with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra.  He soon became interested in performing old music with period instruments.  He started a group called Concentus Musicus Wien.  They tried to make the music of composers from the Baroque period sound like it had done when it was written.  Harnoncourt played the viola da gamba as well as the cello.  In 1970 he conducted Monteverdi's opera Ritorno d'Ulisse in Patria at La Scala, Milan.

In 1971, Harnoncourt started to work with the conductor Gustav Leonhardt.  They recorded all of J.S. Bach's cantatas. This project took until 1990 to finish.  He also recorded Bach's St. Matthew Passion.  He performed with many other orchestras, including the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra.  Often they were orchestras who used modern instruments, but he tried to make them play with an understanding of a historical style (bowing, phrasing etc).  Like other musicians working with historical instruments, he gradually realized that music from later periods such as the Classical music period and even the Romantic period used to sound different from what we usually hear today.  He recorded the symphonies and concertos of Beethoven.  He received many awards for these recordings.

Harnoncourt was married to Alice until his death. The couple had a daughter, Elisabeth von Magnus, and three sons: Philipp, Franz and Eberhard (who died in 1990). Harnoncourt retired in December 2015 because of an illness. Harnoncourt died on 5 March 2016 from the illness. He was aged 86.

Akkadevi (ಆಕ್ಕದೀವಿ in Kannada, also Akkādēvi, Akkā-dēvi), 1010-1064 CE was a princess of the Chalukya dynasty of Karnataka and governor of an area known as Kishukādu, situated in the present day districts of Bidar, Bagalkot and Bijapur. She was the sister of King Jayasimha II of the Western Chalukyas, and aunt of Someshvara I.

Akkadevi was well known for being an able administrator and capable general. She was also called Gunadabedangi, meaning "beauty of virtues".

The rule of the Chalukyas marks an important milestone in the history of South India and a golden age in the history of Karnataka. The Chalukyas ruled over the Deccan plateau in India for over 600 years. Akkadevi was part of the Western Chalukya Empire, who was in constant conflict with the Cholas, and with their distant cousins, the Eastern Chalukyas of Vengi.

In the course of Akkadevi's rule, she expanded her province, encouraged education through grants, and gave liberally to Jaina and Hindu temples.

Akkadevi was said to be "a personage of great reputation and consequence".  An inscription dated 1022 calls her as courageous as Bhairavi in war.  She laid siege to the fort of Gōkāge or Gōkāk to quell a local rebellion, and is said to have encouraged education by giving grants to Brahmins.

was a Japanese pediatrician who first described the condition now known as Kawasaki disease in the 1960s. Alongside rheumatic heart disease, Kawasaki disease is considered to be the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children worldwide.

Early life and education

Tomisaku Kawasaki was born on 1 February 1925 in the Asakusa district of Tokyo, as the youngest of seven children. He was "very interested in plants and fruit, and surprised to learn how the 20th-century pear had suddenly appeared", but eventually abandoned plans to study botany because his mother favored him to be a physician. He studied medicine at Chiba University, graduating in 1948.

Career
Kawasaki conducted his medical internship year in Chiba and decided to specialize in pediatrics, due to his fondness for children. Medical residency in post-war Japan was unpaid and as his family suffered financial problems, his advisor recommended him take up a paid position at the Japan Red Cross Medical Center in Hiroo, Tokyo. He would later practice as a pediatrician there for over 40 years.

After 10 years of researching milk allergy and unusual host-parasite cases, he saw a 4-year-old boy presenting with a myriad of clinical signs he later termed "acute febrile mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome" (MCLS) in 1961. In 1962, he saw a second patient with the same constellation of symptoms. After he had collected a series of seven cases, he presented them at a meeting of the Japanese Pediatric Association. Reviewers rejected his submission for publication because they did not believe it was a new disease entity. Opposition from several academics over the alleged discovery of the new disease lasted several years. Only after he had collected a total of 50 cases, his 44-page paper was published in the Japanese Journal of Allergy in 1967. The paper included comprehensive hand-drawn diagrams of each patient's rashes and has been described as "one of the most beautiful examples of descriptive clinical writing". Other colleagues across the country soon reported similar cases.

It was not until 1970, that the Ministry of Health and Welfare eventually established a research committee on MCLS headed by Dr. Fumio Kosaki. This committee conducted a nationwide study on the disease, confirming it was a new disease which specifically targeted arteries across the body. In 1973, a pathologist discovered the connection to cardiac disease when he found a child with Kawasaki disease had coronary artery thrombosis at an autopsy. Kawasaki headed the Kawasaki Disease Research Committee which published its findings in the journal, Pediatrics finally in 1974; He has been called "part Sherlock Holmes and part Charles Dickens for his sense of mystery and his vivid descriptions". It was the first time MCLS was published in English and brought international attention to the disease.

Kawasaki retired in 1990, and established the Japan Kawasaki Disease Research Center, which he led as director until 2019 and honorary chairman until 2020.  Only in 1992, Kawasaki disease was officially added to Nelson's Textbook of Pediatrics, a leading textbook in the specialty, cementing international recognition of the disease.

In 2007, Kawasaki estimated over 200,000 cases of Kawasaki disease had been diagnosed in Japan since the research committee's findings in 1970. Kawasaki himself never referred to the disease by its eponymous name but conceded that the original name was too long.

Personal life and death
Kawasaki was married to fellow pediatrician Reiko Kawasaki who died in 2019. He died on 5 June 2020 of natural causes at the age of 95 years old. He was survived by his two daughters and a son. Obituaries paying tribute to Kawasaki were published in medical journals worldwide in the aftermath of his death.

Admiral   was a career naval officer in the Imperial Japanese Navy during Meiji and Taishō periods.

Biography
Arima was a native of Wakayama, where his father was a senior samurai retainer of the Kishū Tokugawa clan, and an active supporter of the Tokugawa shogunate during the Boshin War of the Meiji Restoration. Although he came from such an unfavorable background, Arima was able to secure admission to the 12th class of the Imperial Japanese Naval Academy, after graduating from the forerunners of Doshisha University and Keio University with degrees in English language.

Arima was assigned as a sub-lieutenant to the three-masted corvette  in 1885 and graduated  16th out of 19 cadets from the Navy Academy in 1886 after Tsukuba made a long distance navigational voyage from Japan to Newcastle, Sydney, Wellington, Fiji, Samoa, Honolulu, Apia and Pago Pago lasting most of 1886. On graduation, Arima was assigned to , followed by the gunboat  in 1889. His subsequent military service included both sea and staff assignments.

Arima was assigned to  in 1890, and accompanied it to the United Kingdom the following year. From 1892 to 1894, he served in staff assignments for the Readiness Fleet. He was sent back to sea on the  from 1894 to 1895 during the First Sino-Japanese War, and was Chief of Staff of the Yokosuka Naval District from 1895 to 1896.

From March 1900, Arima was assigned as chief navigation officer to the flagship of the Imperial Japanese Navy, the battleship , on which he again visited England in 1902. After his return to Japan, he was promoted to the position of executive officer on the cruiser , but at the end of 1903, he was reassigned to the staff of the IJN 1st Fleet.

In 1903, Commander Arima developed a military strategy which considered attrition as an element of overwhelming force in warfare; and this analysis caught the attention of Admiral Tōgō Heihachirō in the period shortly before the outbreak of hostilities in the Russo-Japanese War.

During the Russo-Japanese War, he received his first command, that of the cruiser . Following his promotion to captain in July 1904, he captained the cruiser , during the Battle of the Yellow Sea. During the war, Arima was the senior member of Tōgō's Combined Fleet staff. One of the architects of the plan to blockade the Russian Pacific Fleet in Port Arthur (which he had visited on his return to Japan from England the previous year), Arima was on two of the three missions, and personally commanded the failed Second Port Arthur blockade attempt, during which Commander Takeo Hirose was killed. Soon afterwards, he was reassigned from his field command to become commandant of the Takeshiki Guard District on Tsushima, where he remained for the rest of the war.

After the end of the war, he again received a field command, and from 1906 to 1907, was captain of the cruiser . He subsequently became Chief of Staff for Fleet Admiral Baron Ijuin Gorō, commander of the IJN 2nd Fleet from 1907 – 1908. From 1908 to 1910 he was Commandant of the Naval Gunnery School at Yokosuka, Kanagawa.

Arima was promoted to rear admiral on December 1, 1909. He served as Chief of First Bureau (Operations) on the Imperial Japanese Navy General Staff from 1910 to 1912 and at the end of 1913 was promoted to vice admiral. From 1914 to 1916, he was Commandant of the Imperial Japanese Naval Academy, continuing to influence its curriculum heavily towards the kantai kessen theory which he had helped create. He also sat on the Board of Inquiry for the Siemens scandal, a political scandal involving naval procurement in 1914. After serving briefly as Director of the Naval Education Command, he became commander-in-chief of the IJN 3rd Fleet from 1917 to 1918. He was promoted to full admiral on November 25, 1919. He then served as Director of Naval Education Command from 1919 to 1920.

Subsequent career
Arima entered the reserve list from April 1, 1922. From September 14, 1931, was named chief priest of the Meiji Shrine. On December 26, 1932, Arima was selected as a member of Emperor Hirohito's Privy Council. In 1934, he was chairman of the committee which organized the state funeral for Fleet Admiral Tōgō Heihachirō.<ref name="nyt1934"> "Admiral Togo's Home to Become a Shrine; Funeral for Japanese Hero Is Set for June 5 -- Schools of Nation to Close," New York Times. May 31, 1934.</ref> His name was floated as a potential foreign minister in the 1938 administration of Prime Minister Fumimaro Konoe, but he did not serve. However, he maintained close personal ties to Emperor Hirohito and Empress Kojun, serving as a chamberlain from 1939, and resigned from his post as chief priest of Meiji Shrine from 1943.

Arima died of pneumonia at age 84 in 1944 and was posthumously awarded the Grand Cordon of the Order of the Rising Sun. His grave is at the Aoyama Cemetery in Tokyo.

In a credit card or debit card account, a dispute is a situation in which a customer questions the validity of a transaction that was registered to the account.

Customers dispute charges for a variety of reasons, including unauthorized charges, excessive charges, failure by the merchant to deliver merchandise, defective merchandise, dissatisfaction with the product(s) or service(s) received, or billing errors. Chargeback fraud, also known as friendly fraud, could occur when the cardholder identifies a purchase on their transaction statement as fraudulent and disputes it. A 2022 study by Ethoca and PYMNTS.com found that 71% of ecommerce transaction disputes were due to service errors.

In the United States, in the event of fraud, the cardholder is liable for a maximum of $50 worth of fraudulent charges. Many card issuers will waive this fee.

Polyquaternium is the International Nomenclature for Cosmetic Ingredients designation for several polycationic polymers that are used in the personal care industry. Polyquaternium is a neologism used to emphasize the presence of quaternary ammonium centers in the polymer. INCI has approved at least 40 different polymers under the polyquaternium designation. Different polymers are distinguished by the numerical value that follows the word "polyquaternium". Polyquaternium-5, polyquaternium-7, and polyquaternium-47 are three examples, each a chemically different type of polymer. The numbers are assigned in the order in which they are registered rather than because of their chemical structure.

Polyquaterniums find particular application in conditioners,
shampoo, hair mousse, hair spray, hair dye, personal lubricant, and contact lens solutions. Because they are positively charged, they neutralize the negative charges of most shampoos and hair proteins and help hair lie flat. Their positive charges also ionically bond them to hair and skin. Some have antimicrobial properties.

Winston Alexander Watts (born 8 December 1967) is a member of the Jamaica national bobsleigh team.  He has competed in four Olympics, most recently the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

Watts has five children - Neecia Watts, Remonia Watts, Romain Watts, Shauna Kaye Watts, and Winston Watts Jr.

Olympics
Watts first appearance at the Winter Olympics came during the 1994 Games held in Lillehammer, Norway. Competing in the four-man event alongside teammates Dudley Stokes, Nelson Stokes and Wayne Thomas, Watts finished in 14th position in a time of 3 minutes 29.96 seconds.

At the 1998 Winter Olympics held in Nagano, Japan, the same Jamaican quartet finished in 21st position in the four-man event with a combined time of 2 minutes 43.76 seconds.

For the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States, Watts switched to the two-man bobsled event. Competing alongside brakeman Lascelles Brown the Jamaican pair set a new Olympic push-start record of 4.78 seconds. Watts and Brown finished 28th out of the 37 competing teams in a time of 3 minutes 14.94 seconds.

Watts retired from the sport as Jamaican teams failed to qualify for the 2006 Games in Turin, Italy, and the 2010 games in Vancouver, Canada. During his retirement Watts moved to Evanston, Wyoming, United States to work in the oil fields. In 2010 he came out of retirement at the age of 43 with the aim of qualifying for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

For the 2013-2014 season Watts teamed up with compatriot Marvin Dixon and based himself in Utah to allow the pair to compete in the North American Cup. They obtained enough points to qualify for the 2014 Olympics by taking part in lower-tier events at tracks in Park City, Utah, Lake Placid, New York and Calgary.

Funding for Watts and Dixon to compete in Sochi was provided by Jamaica Olympic Association and Sochi 2014 Olympic and Paralympic Organizing Committee. To raise additional money for equipment the pair started an online funding appeal with users of the website Reddit donating over US$25000 via the cryptocurrency Dogecoin. Further money was raised via Crowtilt, a crowdfunding website.

Watts and Dixon finished 29th out of the 30 competing teams in the two-man event in Sochi with a combined time of 2 minutes 55.40 seconds for their three runs. During their second run Watts suffered an issue with his visor that nearly resulted in the sled overturning.

The iPhone 4S is the fifth iPhone that was created by Apple. It is very thin, and has a touchscreen.

It was first available for pre-order on October 7, and it went on sale on October 14 in the United States, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Japan. It was made available in more countries over the next few months.

The iPhone 4S had the same design as the iPhone 4, but has several new features such as an upgrade to the Apple A5 processor, and an 8 MP camera with 1080p video recording. It shipped with iOS 5, which is the fifth major version of Apple's mobile operating system, iOS. It had new features such as iCloud, iMessage, Notification Center, Reminders, and integration with Twitter. It also had a voice activation system named Siri that was included in later generations of mobile Apple products.

Features
The iPhone 4S introduced a new automated voice control system called "Siri". It first operated only on the iPhone 4S. It allows the user to give commands to the iPhone, which Siri can execute and respond to. For example, iPhone commands such as "What is the weather going to be like?" will generate a response such as "The weather is to be cloudy and rainy and drop to 54 degrees today". These commands can vary greatly and control almost every section of the phone. The commands given do not have to be specific and can be used with natural language. Siri makes it is much easier and/or possible for people to use device functions while driving, exercising, or when they have their hands full. It also means people with trouble reading, seeing, or typing can access the phone more easily.

Jean III d'Aa, lord of Gruuthuse  (Jan III van Gruuthuse en van der Aa, sieur de Gruuthuse; born about 1368/69, died before 1420) was a Flemish-Burgundian knight of the Bruges noble family of Gruuthuse. He is notable for having fought a great tournament in Bruges on 11 March 1393 against his cousin, Jean (Wulfart) de Ghistelle, lord of Gistel and Harnes. Jean was also the grandfather of Louis de Gruuthuse, himself a "bulwark of Burgundian chivalry" and  a notable participant in tournaments in the 1440s.

The tournament took place on the Groote Markt (great market square) of Bruges.
Jean de Gruuthuse was the challenger and fought with 49 companions; Jean de
Ghistelles was defendant, with 48 companions, for a total of 99 combatants.
Most of the participants were from the town patriciate. There are several extant copies of full lists of participants with their coats of arms, often appended to copies of King René's Tournament Book, which work of the 1460s was substantially influenced by the Bruges tournament of 1393.

The Cascade was a passenger train of the Southern Pacific on its route between Oakland, California, and Portland, Oregon, with a sleeping car to Seattle, Washington. The Southern Pacific started the train on April 17, 1927, soon after the opening of its Cascade Line between Black Butte, California, and Springfield, Oregon.

At first the train offered first class service and a $3.00 extra fare; it became an all-Pullman train in 1937. On August 13, 1950, the Cascade became a streamlined coach/Pullman train with a triple-unit diner and cars painted in two shades of gray. The next 21 years saw a decline. The Seattle sleeper was discontinued in 1966, the triple-unit diner came off a year later. By 1970 the train was down to five or six cars and ran only three days per week. Amtrak would take over the Cascade on May 1, 1971, and would combine it with the San Francisco–Los Angeles Coast Daylight routing the train through Oakland and eventually renaming it the Coast Starlight.

History
The Shasta Route into Oregon was completed on December 17, 1887, connecting California points to Portland, Seattle, and the Pacific Northwest. The Oregon and California Express was the first passenger service; it later gained fame as the Shasta Limited. But the route over the Siskiyou Mountains of Southern Oregon was difficult with steep grades, sharp curves, and subject to landslides and washouts. During the reign of Edward H. Harriman Southern Pacific began building a better route via Klamath Falls. Government involvement in the affairs of Harriman and the SP would delay completion for 18 years.

Trains began using the new Natron Cutoff or Cascade Line in 1926, but passenger service began several months later after the old Weed Lumber Company line south of Grass Lake was replaced. The Cascade would offer better service than the Shasta Limited (which in 1926 was scheduled 27 hours Portland to San Francisco). At first the train had a $3.00 extra fare and numbers 17 and 18.

This train would survive the depression through consolidations and a change of numbers (19 and 20). The extra fare was dropped. With the better economy Southern Pacific re-equipped the Cascade and by 1937 it was an all-Pullman train with numbers 23 and 24 and a schedule under 20 hours.

For three years during World War II the Cascade was combined with the Beaver. After the war the train got new equipment and a faster schedule. On June 5, 1950, the first streamlined Pullman was placed in service on the route. Southern Pacific was also experimenting with diesel power. The result would be the greatest presentation of this train; a faster, dieselized, streamlined, all-Pullman, daily overnight service second-to-none.

11 Depart Portland - 4:45PM, Arrive Oakland - 8:20AM
Connecting service to San Francisco was provided by ferry until 1958 when switch was made to bus service over the Bay Bridge

The streamlined Cascade became the SP's overnight train between Oakland and Portland with through sleeping cars to and from Seattle. It was the second all room sleeping car train along the west coast. The new thirteen car Pullman Standard built consists were initially powered by A-B-B sets of EMD E7 diesels but were replaced in weeks by A-B-A sets of ALCO PA passenger diesels painted in daylight colors. The Cascade cars painted in the two tone Gray of the Lark and San Francisco Overland trains. The Southern Pacific streamlined Cascade began service on August 13, 1950, and was an all Pullman train for the shortest length of time, for beginning October 11, 1950, the Cascade began to carry coaches between Oakland and Portland. The through sleepers to Seattle numbered four and traveled north from Portland in the Union Pacific Railroad (UP) pool train to Seattle Union Station. Upon arrival in Seattle the four sleeping cars were switched out and transferred to the Northern Pacific Railway (NP) on the other side of Fourth Avenue viaduct at the King Street Station. The next morning these four through sleeping cars would depart Seattle in the NP pool train and transfer to the Cascade that afternoon in Portland for the trip to Oakland.

Sleeping cars 9119, 9034, 9035 and 9303 were Oakland – Seattle cars forwarded in the UP pool train to Seattle. After arrival in Seattle at Union Station they were turned over to the NP under the 4th Ave. viaduct and went to the NP-GN coach yard for cleaning and servicing for the next mornings departure in the NP pool train from King Street Station to Portland.

The streamlined Cascade was an all – Pullman train only until October 10, 1950, when coaches were added to the train sets. Coaches 2425 and 2431 operated in one consist and 2433 and 2437 operated in the other consist. No coaches were through cars to Seattle; all Coach travelers crossed the platform in Portland to the waiting UP pool train northbound to Seattle. Southbound coach passengers from Seattle arrived in Portland on the NP pool train and again crossed the platform to the waiting Cascade.

The final years
Through sleeping car service to and from Seattle ended January 9, 1966. The triple-unit diner came off a year later. Southern Pacific tried to replace it with an automat service but the Oregon Public Utility Commission balked, forcing the railroad to place a regular diner on the train. The two-tone gray colors were already gone, replaced by SP's new passenger color scheme of Sunset-style aluminum mist with red letterboard. Yellow sleeping cars from the City of San Francisco and San Francisco Overland trains were also seen in the nightly consist. By 1970, after trying for two years to discontinue the service, Southern Pacific was allowed to trim the Cascade to triweekly. By this time, the train had a later departure time allowing daylight viewing of the Willamette Valley and part of the Cascade Mountains.

Amtrak takes over
A quasi-government agency, the National Railroad Passenger Corporation – or Amtrak – took over the remains of America's passenger train system on May 1, 1971. The Cascade was included but was combined with the San Francisco to Los Angeles Coast Daylight. With service rerouted through Oakland, the train was rechristened as the Coast Starlight. It continued to run triweekly north of Oakland, but its popularity would lead to restoration of daily service in 1973.

Caleb Powell Haun Saussy (born February 15, 1960) is University Professor at the University of Chicago.

Research
Saussy's first book, The Problem of a Chinese Aesthetic (Stanford UP, 1993), discussed the tradition of commentary that has grown up around the early Chinese poetry collection Shi jing (known in English as the Book of Songs). This was followed by Great Walls of Discourse and Other Adventures in Cultural China (Harvard University Asia Center, 2001), an account of the ways of knowing and describing specific to China scholarship, and Sinographies, co-edited with Steven Yao and Eric Hayot. Other interests are reflected in the edited books Women Writers of Traditional China: An Anthology of Poetry and Criticism (with Kang-i Sun Chang and Charles Kwong, 1999), Partner to the Poor: A Paul Farmer Reader (2009) and Ernest Fenollosa / Ezra Pound, The Chinese Written Character: A Critical Edition (with Jonathan Stalling and Lucas Klein, 2008). Saussy and Perry Meisel supplied introductions, notes and errata to the reissue of Wade Baskin's translation of Ferdinand de Saussure's Course in General Linguistics (2011). In 2016 he published The Ethnography of Rhythm: Orality and Its Technologies (Fordham University Press), which subsequently won the Scaglione Prize for Comparative Studies of the MLA. In 2017 followed Translation as Citation: Zhuangzi Inside Out (Oxford University Press). With Rivi Handler-Spitz and Pauline Chen Lee, he edited and translated A Book to Burn And A Book to Keep (Hidden): Selected Writings of Li Zhi (Columbia University Press, 2016). He is an avid cyclist, memorizer of verb paradigms and lyric poetry, and contributor to a variety of art installations including the innovative Martin Luther King, Jr. Library in San Jose, California. His articles range widely, from the imaginary universal languages of Athanasius Kircher to Chinese musicology to the great Qing dynasty novel Honglou meng and the history of oral-poetry theory. He edited the American Comparative Literature Association'''s 2004 report on the state of the discipline. With others, he maintains a blog, www.printculture.com. Among his editorial responsibilities are: co-editor, Chinese Literature: Essays, Articles, Reviews; co-editor, Critical Inquiry; editorial board member, Zhongguo xueshu / China Scholarship, Comparative Literature, Warring States Papers, Modern Philology, Cross-Currents, and Health and Human Rights: An International Journal'', etc. With Lazar Fleishman of Stanford University, he edits a series, "Verbal Art," now published by Fordham University Press.
