Christopher Ellis Duffy (born April 20, 1980) is a former Major League Baseball outfielder. He played for the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Milwaukee Brewers. Amateur career Duffy played baseball for two seasons at South Mountain Community College in Arizona. In , he was drafted by the Boston Red Sox in the 43rd round of the draft, but opted to attend Arizona State University instead. At ASU in , he batted .373 with four home runs, 37 RBIs, and 20 stolen bases and was named a First Team All-Pac-10 selection. Professional career He was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 8th round of the 2001 MLB Draft and accepted a contract with them. He made steady progress through the Pirates' minor league system from to , spending time with their teams in Williamsport, Lynchburg, Altoona, and Indianapolis. Over 5 minor league seasons and 524 games, he achieved a .299 batting average with 27 home runs and 190 RBIs. 2005 season In 2005, Duffy received his first call-up to the majors on April 7 but spent only two weeks with the team before returning to Indianapolis on April 21. On July 17, he was again called up and spent the rest of the season on the Pirates' roster. Before an injury in late August ended his season, he hit .341 with 1 home run and 9 RBIs in 39 games with the Pirates. 2006 season In , Duffy began the season as the Pirates' starting center fielder. After faring poorly at the plate in April and May, however, the Pirates optioned him to the minor leagues on May 14. After an emotional closed-door discussion with the general manager and manager, Duffy unilaterally decided to instead return to his home in Glendale, Arizona, causing the Pirates to suspend his pay. While Duffy had been very critical of manager Jim Tracy for insisting that he change his batting style, he insisted through his agent that he was not protesting the Pirates' decision. Rather, he was on leave for personal reasons that he did not wish to disclose, but that reportedly had to do with a lack of desire to continue a career in professional sports. Duffy returned to the minor leagues after about a month and—despite earlier reports that the decision to quit had nothing to do with Tracy's change to his batting style—immediately reverted to his 2005 batting style and hit for a .349 average in 26 games. Duffy returned to the majors on August 2 and, apparently with the support of the clubhouse, Tracy installed him directly into the starting center field and leadoff spots. 2007 season On June 8, 2007, he hit an inside-the-park home run at Yankee Stadium. 2008 season and beyond Duffy failed to earn a spot on the Pirates' active roster, mainly due to injuries. On July 31, Duffy was designated for assignment after the Pirates traded Jason Bay for four players. He cleared waivers and was added to the Triple-A Indianapolis Indians roster. On December 18, he signed a minor league contract with the Milwaukee Brewers with an invitation to spring training. Duffy was assigned to the Brewers' Triple-A Nashville Sounds, but was on the temporary inactive list for a part of the season. Duffy soon later signed with the Philadelphia Phillies. Duffy was released unexpectedly during the 2010 season, and has not played professional baseball since.

Strokes (Pinyin: bǐhuà; Traditional Chinese: 筆畫; Simplified Chinese: 笔画 ) are the most basic writing units of Chinese characters. Stroke-based sorting, also called stroke-based ordering or stroke-based order, is one of the five sorting methods frequently used in modern Chinese dictionaries, the others being radical-based sorting, pinyin-based sorting, bopomofo and the four-corner method. In addition to functioning as an independent sorting method, stroke-based sorting is often employed to support the other methods. For example, in Xinhua Dictionary (新华字典), Xiandai Hanyu Cidian (现代汉语词典) and Oxford Chinese Dictionary, stroke-based sorting is used to sort homophones in Pinyin sorting, while in radical-based sorting it helps to sort the radical list, the characters under a common radical, as well as the list of characters difficult to lookup by radicals. In stroke-based sorting, Chinese characters are ordered by different features of strokes, including stroke counts, stroke forms, stroke orders, stroke combinations, stroke positions, etc. Stroke-count sorting This method arranges characters according to their numbers of strokes ascendingly. A character with less strokes is put before those of more strokes. For example, the different characters in "漢字筆劃, 汉字笔画 " (Chinese character strokes) are sorted into "汉(5)字(6)画(8)笔(10)[筆(12)畫(12)]漢(14)", where stroke counts are put in brackets. (Please note that both 筆 and 畫 are of 12 strokes and their order is not determinable by stroke-count sorting.). Stroke-count sorting was first used in Zihui to arrange the radicals and the characters under each radical when the dictionary was published in 1615 It was also used in Kangxi Chinese Character Dictionary when the dictionary was first compiled in 1710s. Stroke-count-stroke-order sorting This is a combination of stroke-count sorting and stroke-order sorting. Characters are first arranged by stroke-counts in ascending order. Then Stroke-order sorting is employed to sort characters with the same number of strokes. The characters are firstly arranged by their first strokes according to an order of stroke form groups, such as “heng (横, ㇐), shu (竖, ㇑), pie (撇, ㇓), dian (点, ㇔), zhe (折, ㇕)”, or “dian (点), heng (横), shu (竖), pie (撇), zhe (折)”. If the first strokes of two characters belong to the same group, then sort by their second strokes in a similar way, and so on. In our example of the previous section, both 筆 and 畫 are of 12 strokes. 筆 starts with stroke "㇓" of the pie (撇) group, and 畫 starts with "㇕" of the zhe (折) group, and pie is before zhe in the groups order, so 筆 comes before 畫. Hence the different characters in "汉字笔画, 漢字筆劃" are finally sorted into "汉(5)字(6)画(8)笔(10)筆(12)畫(12)漢(14)", where each character is put at its unique position. Stroke-count-stroke-order sorting was used in Xinhua Dictionary and Xiandai Hanyu Cidian before the national standard for stroke-based sorting was released in 1999. GB stroke-based order The Standard of GB13000.1 Character Set Chinese Character Order (Stroke-Based Order) (GB13000.1字符集汉字字序（笔画序）规范)) is a standard released by the National Language Commission of China in 1999 for Chinese characters sorting by strokes. This is an enhanced version of the traditional stroke-count-stroke-order sorting. According to this standard, two characters are first sorted by stroke counts. If they are of the same stroke counts, sort by stroke order (of the five families of heng, shu, pie, dian and zhe). Then if the characters are of the same stroke order, they will be sorted by the primary-secondary stroke order. For example, 子 and 孑 have the same five-group stroke order (㇐ and ㇀ both belong to the heng family), but according to primary-secondary stroke order rule, primary stroke ㇐ is before secondary stroke ㇀. So 子 comes before 孑. If two characters are of the same stroke count, stroke order and primary-secondary stroke, then sort them according to their modes of stroke combination. Stroke separation comes before stroke connection, and connection comes before stroke intersection. For example: 八 is before 人, and 人 is before 乂. And there are other sorting rules in the standard for more accurate sorting. This standard has been employed by the new editions of Xinhua Dictionary" and "Xiandai Hanyu Cidian" . YES sorting YES is a simplified stroke-based sorting method free of stroke counting and grouping, without comprise in accuracy. Briefly speaking, YES arranges Chinese characters according to their stroke orders and an "alphabet" of 30 strokes "㇐㇕㇅㇎㇡㇋㇊㇍㇈㇆㇇㇌ (飞 first stroke) ㇀㇑㇗㇞㇉ㄣ㇙㇄㇟㇚㇓㇜㇛㇢㇔㇏㇂" built on the basis of Unicode CJK strokes. The YES order of the different characters in "汉字笔画, 漢字筆劃" is "画畫筆笔字漢汉", where each character is put at its unique position. YES sorting has been applied to the indexing of all the characters in Xinhua Zidian and Xiandai Hanyu Cidian.

Careful is a 1992 Canadian film directed by Guy Maddin. It is Maddin's third feature film and his first colour film, shot on 16mm on a budget of $1.1 million. At one point, Martin Scorsese had agreed to act in the film, as Count Knotkers, but bowed out to complete Cape Fear. Maddin pursued casting hockey star Bobby Hull, but ended up casting Paul Cox. Plot Careful is set in Tolzbad, a fictional mountain town under constant threat of devastating avalanches that can be triggered by any loud noise or even a too-large expression of emotion. The people of Tolzbad suppress their emotions as much as possible, living in constant vigilance against losing self-control. An opening lecture cautions common advice ("Think twice!", "Don't stand so close to the walnut tree!"). The greatest ambition of the citizens of Tolzbad is to become good servants for the reclusive Count Knotkers. Johann and Grigorss are brothers and butlers-in-training. Both are beloved of their mother Zenaida, although she hates their brother Franz, whom they do not speak of and who has been exiled to the attic. The ghost of their dead blind father appears to Franz to warn him of impending doom in the family, yet Franz, paralyzed and mute and covered in cobwebs, can do nothing. The ghost complains to Franz that Zenaida never loved him and harboured love for Count Knotkers instead, although forbidden to marry him by the Count's mother. Johann is betrothed to Klara, daughter of Herr Trotta, and although Grigorss harbours secret love for Klara he says nothing. Johann, meanwhile, becomes incestuously attracted to his own mother Zenaida. He spies on her through the walls of the chimney as she undresses and bathes. He then concocts a love potion for her, and as she drifts into sleep he assaults her, kissing and groping her breasts. Horrified at himself, Johann burns off his lips with a hot coal, cuts off his fingers with garden shears, and throws himself off a mountain. Grigorss becomes infuriated when Zenaida reveals that her passion for Count Knotkers has been rekindled since his mother died, so that no obstacles stand in the way of their union. She reveals that the reason she hates Franz but loves her other sons is because Franz reminds her too much of her hated dead husband, but when she conceived Grigorss and Johann she was thinking about the Count. Grigorss challenges the Count to a duel to avenge his father's honour, but Zenaida talks him out of it by finally accepting Franz into the family. However, Klara convinces Grigorss to go through with the duel. Klara has an incestuous love for her father, Herr Trotta, who ignores her, but lavishes attention on her sister Sigleinde. Inspired after viewing the enchained wild mountain girl Gerda, this duel is the first step for Klata to plan her revenge. They duel with daggers, and Grigorss stabs Count Knotkers. He heads home, where Zenaida cares for him after he collapses from exhaustion. However, when she discovers he has killed her beloved Count, she throws him out of the house and hangs herself in the attic in front of Franz. Grigorss is taken by Klara to a mountain cave she once hopefully prepared as a love den for her and her father, she now claims that this can be their new home. On the gondola ride there, Klara tells Grigorss that her father raped her and they must plan his death. Grigorss takes Herr Trotta on a sleigh ride, during which he shoots a pistol to start an avalanche to bury Trotta. All goes according to plan, except that Klara throws herself into the sleigh to die while kissing her father. Alone, Grigorss retreats to the mountain cave. A single teardrop causes another avalanche, which traps him inside, where he freezes to death while hallucinating a happy reunion with his parents. As the film ends, Franz and Sigleinde join together to search the mountains for their lost family members, not realizing they are dead. Cast Release Careful premiered at the New York Film Festival and, although it was not a commercial success elsewhere, "single-handedly saved a struggling art-house cinema in Missoula, Montana" where "sell-out crowds had filled the house twice every night for two weeks." Careful was released to home video in 2000, on a DVD that also includes an hour-long documentary on Maddin, Waiting for Twilight, directed by Noam Gonick and narrated by Tom Waits. Careful is also included on the DVD boxed set The Quintessential Guy Maddin: 5 Films from the Heart of Winnipeg, released by Zeitgeist Video, alongside Archangel, Dracula: Pages from a Virgin's Diary, Twilight of the Ice Nymphs, and Cowards Bend the Knee. Critical reception The film received generally positive reviews. Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports an 83% approval rating based on 12 reviews, with a weighted average of 6.45/10. A critical essay on the film by Will Straw was included in the book Canada's Best Features: Critical Essays on 15 Canadian Films. Awards Careful won "Best Canadian Film" at the 1992 Sudbury Cinéfest.

Senuma Kayō (; December 11, 1875 – February 28, 1915) was a Japanese translator and teacher. She was the first woman to translate Russian literature to Japanese. Early life and education Senuma was born Ikuko Yamada on December 11, 1875, in what is now Takasaki, Gunma. She grew up as a member of the Eastern Orthodox church, and attended a religious girls' school in Surugadai, Tokyo. She earned excellent grades and graduated in 1892. After graduation she began writing for a literary magazine, and was published in many issues. In 1896 she received Russian books from Nicholas of Japan, and learned to read them with the help of Senuma Kakusaburo, a priest at the Tokyo Resurrection Cathedral. They married in 1897 and had six children. Career Kakusaburo introduced her to Ozaki Kōyō, who took her on as a disciple and welcomed her into his literary group. She published many of her early translations jointly with him until his death in 1903. Senuma was also on the staff of the Seito feminist literary magazine. Senuma primarily translated works by Anton Chekov and Fyodor Dostoevsky. She was the first Japanese woman to translate directly from Russian to Japanese during a time when many Japanese translators translated from English. One of her most well-known translations was a partial translation of Dostoevsky's Poor Folk, from which she only translated Varvara's story. She also translated Chekov's Uncle Vanya and The Cherry Orchard, Aleksei Nicholaevich Budischev's Northeast Wind, and works by Ivan Turgenev. Her penname was Senuma Kayō. She visited Russia twice, once in 1909 and again in 1911. There is some concern that some of her translations, most notably an incomplete translation of Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, were actually translated by her husband. Scholar Satoko Kan suggests that while Anna Karenina was probably translated by Kakusaburo, Poor Folk was not. Senuma died on February 28, 1915, from complications while giving birth to her seventh child.

Telmatobius vilamensis is a species of frog in the family Telmatobiidae. It is endemic to northern Chile and only known from its type locality, Río Vilama near San Pedro de Atacama. The specific name vilamensis refers to the type locality. It may already be extinct, although it is doubtfully distinct from Telmatobius halli. Taxonomy Although described as a distinct species in 2003, multiple studies indicate little divergence between this species, Telmatobius dankoi, and Telmatobius halli. Thus, all three may be conspecific with one another. Description Adult males measure and adult females in snout–vent length. The body shape is lean and hydrodynamic. The head is large, broad, and depressed. The snout is subovoid in dorsal view and prominently pointed laterally. No tympanum is present but the supratympanic fold is moderately developed. The fingers have rounded tips and no webbing, but the middle fingers have lateral fringes. The toes have rounded tips and are webbed. The dorsum is dark green with dark brown spots. The venter and throat are white. The largest tadpoles (Gosner stage 35) are in total length. The maximum body length is . Habitat and conservation The type locality is the Vilama River, a montane river in a semidesert area with scarce vegetation at above sea level (3110 m in the original publication). The specimens were collected with a net below aquatic plants on the banks of the river. Tadpoles were found along with the adults. This species has a very limited known range, within which it is threatened by water pollution caused by mining activities. Additional threats are abstraction of water for human consumption and agriculture, as well as recreational activities. It is not known from any protected areas. In 2016, the only known locality of the species was destroyed in a flash flood on the Vilama River, and it thus may be extinct, although it could be conspecific with T. halli and thus not be a distinct species at all.

"Our Children, Ourselves" is the 12th episode of the second season of the American television comedy series, Modern Family and the 36th overall episode of the series. Executive producers Dan O'Shannon & Bill Wrubel wrote the episode, and Adam Shankman directed it. The episode originally aired on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) in the United States on January 12, 2011. It featured guest star Mary Lynn Rajskub as Mitchell's ex-girlfriend. In this episode, the dedication of Alex to learning makes Phil and Claire question themselves. Gloria tries to meet new friends. Mitchell runs into an ex-girlfriend while out with his current boyfriend, Cameron. "Our Children, Ourselves" received generally positive reviews from television critics with many praising the "twist ending" to Mitchell and Cameron's storyline. According to the Nielsen Media Research, the episode was viewed by 11.12 million households during its original broadcast, and received a 4.2 rating/10 percent share among viewers in the 18–49 demographic and became the second highest-rated ABC program of the original week it aired after Grey's Anatomy. Sarah Hyland does not appear in the episode. Plot At the Dunphy house, Phil (Ty Burrell) and Claire (Julie Bowen) become worried that Alex (Ariel Winter) is studying too much. The two attempt to get her to take a break and eventually have to force her to do so. Alex eventually gets the second-highest grade in the class, behind a classmate named Sanjay Patel. Alex believes this is due to the fact that Sanjay has a doctor and a professor for parents, while she must do her best with what she was given. This statement offends Phil and Claire, with Claire starting to think they are holding their children back. Later when they go to the movies, they run into Sanjay's parents who are there to see a French movie. Phil and Claire decide to follow them to encourage their kids. Midway through the movie Phil leaves to watch Croctopus 3D, the film they originally intended to see, since they both are fans of cheesy horror films involving monsters. Phil has fun at his movie while Claire falls asleep at the highly acclaimed French one. After waking her up, Phil tells her that Alex still had one of the highest grades in the class, and dumb parents do not have kids that smart. Claire is reassured and they leave for home after seeing that the "bright Dr. Patel" cannot validate his parking ticket. Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) and Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) bump into Mitchell's ex-girlfriend, Tracy (Mary Lynn Rajskub) at a mall. Mitchell suggest hanging out, but she decides against it. Later, they see Tracy with what appears to be an eight-year-old red-headed child (seen only from behind), whose approximate age would match the last time Tracy and Mitchell saw each other (and the only time Mitchell had sex with a woman). Mitchell tells this to Cameron at dinner, making him anxious. He eventually agrees with Mitchell that they should meet the child, who they are sure is his son. However, they then realize that he actually is a little person (Mark Povinelli) and Tracy's husband. The situation becomes more awkward when he opens his present from Mitchell and Cameron, a "Little Slugger" baseball glove. Meanwhile, the Hoffmans, a couple that Gloria (Sofía Vergara) and Jay (Ed O'Neill) Pritchett met on a vacation, come to visit them much to Jay's openly (and Gloria's more discreet) chagrin. He eventually tells them his true feelings not knowing that they were spending the night at their house. The couple decides to leave in a cab, as Gloria comes down to apologize they give her a copy of Gabriel García Márquez's "One Hundred Years of Solitude" that they had signed by the author specially for her, so she convinces them to stay by telling them that Jay's "mind is going away". In the morning, Jay decides to apologize to the Hoffmans; however, during his apology he drinks from a prank glass that Manny gave him, ending in him being covered in orange juice. The Hoffmans leave believing that Jay is growing senile and admiring Gloria for enduring such a situation. Production "Our Children, Ourselves" was written by executive producers, Dan O'Shannon and Bill Wrubel. The episode was also directed by Adam Shankman. This episode was the second script collaboration by O'Shannon and Wrubel, who co-wrote the episode "Airport 2010". "Our Children, Ourselves" was filmed on October 13, and October 15, 2010. In October 2010, TV Guide reported that Mary Lynn Rajskub had been cast as Mitchell's ex-girlfriend. She filmed her appearance on October 13, 2010. Rajskub later said in an interview on Lopez Tonight that she had gone through the same experience: "I had this guy, I think I was in 7th or 8th grade... we had this make out session [...] he pulled away abruptly and I never saw him again. Then 20 years later he facebooked me. Totally gay". The episode aired on ABC in the United States on January 12, 2011. When the episode aired, the airtime was pushed 20 minutes later than its usual time slot due to Barack Obama's speech about the 2011 Tucson shooting. Reception Ratings In its original American broadcast, "Our Children, Ourselves" was seen by an estimated 11.12 million households and received a 4.2 rating/10% share among adults between the ages of 18 and 49. This means that it was seen by 4.2% of all 18- to 49-year-olds, and 10% of all 18- to 49-year-olds watching television at the time of the broadcast. This made it the highest-rated program on Wednesday, according to the Nielsen Media Research. The episode received a drop from the previous episode, "Slow Down Your Neighbors", possibly because of the 20-minute delay in its starting time. Despite this, the episode became the second highest-rated ABC show after Grey's Anatomy and the finished seventh in the ratings the week it premiered. Reviews The episode received mostly positive reviews, with many praising the ending to Mitchell and Cameron's storyline. TV Squad writer Joel Keller gave the episode a positive review, writing that it had "funny moments", but pointed out that "all of them left me wanting some more information to round things out." John Teti of The A.V. Club called it "not a very good episode" and mainly criticized the Delgado–Pritchett storyline, comparing it to "every episode of Three’s Company ever." Teti ultimately gave the episode a C+. Rachael Maddux of New York praised the episode for letting the characters "out of their primly landscaped domiciles to interact with the other batty folks of the world". Matt Roush of TV Guide wrote that the episode's story lines were "all winners". Joyce Eng and KMate Stanhope, also from TV Guide, later named the conclusion to Mitchell and Cameron's storyline the best moment of the week, January 6 to January 13, 2011. Entertainment Weekly writer Lesley Savage commented that while the episode wasn't a good follow up to "Slow Down Your Neighbors", the ending to the Pritchett-Tucker storyline was "pretty darn funny, and possibly a little un-PC". James Poniewozik of Time wrote that while the plot came "straight out of the Wacky Misunderstanding School of Sitcomedy" it was still a satisfying episode calling Phil and Claire's storyline "the most amusing storyline".

Icelandair is the flag carrier of Iceland, with its corporate head office on the property of Reykjavík Airport in the capital city Reykjavík. It is part of the Icelandair Group and operates to destinations on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean from its main hub at Keflavík International Airport. The geographical position of Iceland is convenient for one-stop transatlantic flights, which is one pillar of the airline's business strategy, along with traffic to, from, and within the country. History Flugfélag Íslands in the early decades Icelandair traces its roots back to 1937, when Flugfélag Akureyrar was founded in Akureyri on the north coast of Iceland. Flight operations started in 1938 with a single Waco YKS-7 configured as a floatplane. In 1939 the airline was grounded when this aircraft was destroyed in a capsizing accident. The company moved to Reykjavík, where it acquired another Waco aircraft and was relaunched in 1940 as Flugfélag Íslands, which translates as Flight Company of Iceland. Previously, two unrelated airlines of the same name had existed in the country (from 1919 to 1920, and between 1928 and 1931). For international purposes, the name Iceland Airways was adopted. The fleet was expanded with a Beechcraft Model 18 in 1942; and with two De Havilland Dragon Rapides and a Consolidated PBY Catalina in 1944, the latter being the first ever aircraft registered in Iceland to be flown to Iceland by an Icelandic crew from North America. On 11 July 1945, this aircraft operated the first commercial flight over the Atlantic Ocean for the airline, which led from Reykjavík to Largs in Scotland, with four passengers and four crew members on board. Regular flights to Prestwick Airport in Scotland and Copenhagen in Denmark, using Consolidated B-24 Liberator aircraft leased from Scottish Airlines were launched in 1946. In the same year, the comfort and performance of domestic flights in Iceland could be improved with the introduction of the Douglas DC-3. A total of six were purchased, which remained in service with the airline until 1972. Until the late 1960s, Flugfélag concentrated mostly on domestic flights, where it initially faced fierce competition from Icelandic Airlines, another airline which had been founded in 1944. When a merger proposal from the Icelandic government was rejected by the two airlines, the domestic routes were split among them as a measure to ease competition. When Loftleiðir pulled out of the domestic market in 1952 to fully concentrate on international flights, Flugfélag became the main domestic carrier of the country. International services stayed part of the business model of Flugfélag, though to a far lesser extent compared to Loftleiðir. In 1948, the Douglas DC-4 was introduced on those routes, and in 1957 two new Vickers 759 Viscounts were acquired, the first turboprop airliners to be operated by an Icelandic airline. In the 1950s, Flugfélag began to use the 'Icelandair' branding for its international flights. In 1967, Flugfélag was the first Icelandic airline to join the jet age, when a Boeing 727-100 dubbed Gullfaxi was put into service. Another 727 was acquired in 1971, and the aircraft type was operated until 1990. In 2008, the cockpit section of Gullfaxi was put on display at the Akureyri Aviation Museum. Loftleiðir Another company, Loftleiðir, called Icelandic Airlines internationally, had been formed in 1944 by three young pilots returning from their flight training in Canada. Their company, whose name roughly means "Skyways", concentrated on Icelandic domestic air services for the first few years. The first aircraft used were two Stinson Reliants, and then a Grumman G-21 Goose amphibious aircraft. At first, Loftleiðir, like Flugfélag Íslands, concentrated on domestic air services. Loftleiðir began scheduled international operations in 1947. By 1952, the Icelandic authorities were very worried that fierce competition between both Icelandic airlines would ruin both companies, and attempted to force a merger between them. This did not happen at the time, but instead the authorities split up the domestic routes between the two airlines. As a result, Loftleiðir ceased domestic flights in Iceland entirely, concentrating instead on international flights. Loftleiðir's pioneering low-fare services across the North Atlantic then commenced in 1953. In a way, Loftleiðir can even be considered a sort of precursor of the low-cost carriers that started popping up all over the globe in the 1970s, in particular the long-haul budget carrier like Norwegian Air Shuttle. This made it a popular airline for travel between Europe and North America. The late 1960s were an exciting time for Loftleiðir. In 1969 the company acquired International Air Bahama, a small airline operating Douglas DC-8 jet aircraft out of the Bahamas with transatlantic nonstop service between Nassau and Luxembourg, and a year later Loftleiðir became one of the founders of Cargolux, a cargo airline. Also in 1970, Loftleiðir entered the jet age with its first two Douglas DC-8 aircraft. During those years, Loftleiðir was often referred to, even by the company's staff, as "the Hippie Airline" or even "the Hippie Express". Loftleiðir was not famous for speed or punctuality, but flying with the company became a sort of rite of passage for young "hippies" from America travelling to Europe, one of whom was future president of the United States Bill Clinton. Merger with Loftleiðir During the 1970s energy crisis, the economic situation for both Flugfélag Íslands and Loftleiðir worsened. The government of Iceland initiated a new attempt to merge the two airlines, which could be realized in 1973 following lengthy and difficult negotiations. In 1975, the Icelandic government provided a $13.5 million loan to Flugleiðir. The staff of Loftleiðir complained that Flugfélag Íslands, although smaller, had gained the upper hand in the united company. A holding company called Flugleiðir was created, which combined the two companies and began to streamline staff and operations. At the time of the merger, two-thirds of the passenger traffic of the airline were international transatlantic crossings, and Flugfélag Íslands's fleet of Douglas DC-3s and Boeing 727s were enlarged by the Douglas DC-8s of Loftleiðir. In 1979, the two airlines Flugfélag Íslands and Loftleiðir merged into one airline Flugleiðir, and the airline was renamed Icelandair. Post-merger Icelandair In 1980, the Icelandic government provided a loan to Icelandair due to the company's bad financial situation. The aircraft fleet of Icelandair remained mainly unchanged until the Boeing 757-200 became the new backbone for transatlantic flights during the 1990s. The domestic Fokker F27s were replaced by Fokker 50s and Boeing 737s deployed on European routes. The European hub at Luxembourg Airport had been taken over from Loftleiðir. Passenger count topped one million in 1997 as the company's business grew on a reputation as a "backpacker airline", similar to Loftleiðir, which had been referred to as "Hippie Airline" since the late 1960s. In the same year, it was begun to dismantle the Luxembourg hub in favour of today's decentralized European network, linking the largest cities non-stop to Reykjavík, closing it down altogether by 1999. In 1997 the domestic operations of Icelandair, part of which had previously been operated under the 'Flugfélag Nordurlands' branding, were combined with a small airline Nordurflug to form the Air Iceland Connect subsidiary, allowing mainline Icelandair to fully concentrate on international flights since then. On 20 November 1999, a new aircraft livery was introduced, as part of an image campaign designed to retire Icelandair's "backpacker" label in favour of an emphasis on business travel. In 2001, the Icelandair hub was moved to Keflavík International Airport. As Icelandair particularly focuses on flights to North America, the company was significantly affected by the airspace closure following the September 11 attacks in the same year. The Flugleiðir holding was reorganized as Icelandair Group (for aviation business) and FL Group (for non-aviation finance and investment business) between 2002 and 2005, with Icelandair becoming the largest and most important of eleven subsidiaries. The wet-lease and charter department, which was founded in 2003, was named Loftleiðir Icelandic, thus re-introducing a familiar name. Developments since 2010 Like most Icelandic companies, Icelandair was hit quite hard by the 2008 financial crisis in the country but was well on the road to recovery when another crisis of a very different kind hit in 2010. The air traffic restrictions following the 2010 eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull resulted in large parts of the European airspace being closed down. The air travel disruption coincided with the start of the important summer season for the company. The in-house crisis management organisation began assessing the situation once the scale of the problem had become known. Thrice-daily crisis meetings were held at the airline's headquarters. Icelandair tried to operate as many passenger flights as possible, keeping its hub at Keflavík open and diverting European flights to airports that were still open. The eventual closure of Keflavík due to the volcanic ash cloud coincided with an improvement of the situation towards Europe, which allowed Icelandair to move its headquarters with 200 staff to Glasgow and operate flights from there for ten days, with shuttle flights to Iceland's Akureyri Airport and round-the-clock bus shuttles onwards to Reykjavík. In the aftermath of the eruption, the government of Iceland launched the successful "Inspired by Iceland" campaign to regain confidence in travelling to Iceland for tourists and business people, of which Icelandair was a leading participant and initiator. When the Grímsvötn volcano erupted in 2011, Icelandair once again had to cope with airspace closures in Europe. However, this time to a lesser extent due to a higher level of political preparedness. Weekly newspaper The Economist claimed that Icelandair could even take advantage when catering for disaster tourists. In February 2011 Icelandair was chosen "The Knowledge Company" of the year and Icelandair CEO Birkir Hólm Guðnason was picked as "Man of the Year" in the Icelandic business community. In both categories the panel of judges of the Association of Economists and Business Graduates in Iceland said that "the fine results of the company in the previous year showed both a high degree of skill and specialist knowledge within the company as well as excellent leadership." In October of the same year, the airline was awarded the title "Marketing Firm of the Year in Iceland", by a judging panel from IMARK, the Marketing Association in Iceland. Further route expansion After having launched scheduled flights to Washington, D.C., in 2011, Denver was announced as a new U.S. destination for 2012, followed by Anchorage in 2013, bringing the total number of cities served in the country up to eight, along with Boston, Minneapolis, New York City, Orlando and Seattle. Also in 2012, Icelandair resumed domestic services, with regular flights linking Akureyri to its Keflavík hub through subsidiary company Air Iceland. From 2009 to 2014, operations doubled. New destinations in 2014 were Edmonton and Vancouver in Canada; and Geneva. Twice-weekly flights to Vancouver commenced on 13 May 2014 and continued until October of that year. Flights to Edmonton started on 4 March 2014, with a year-round service operating five times a week. The Geneva service started on 24 May 2014 and continued twice weekly until September. On 9 December 2014, Icelandair revealed a northern lights-themed Boeing 757-200 (registration TF-FIU) named Hekla Aurora. The aircraft was officially launched in February 2015 as part of the company's #MyStopover campaign. The exterior, which was hand-painted by a team of highly skilled airbrush artists from the UK, features artwork depicting an Icelandic winter scene complete with the Aurora Borealis. An installation of LED mood lighting in the cabin continues the theme by emulating both the colours and dancing patterns of the aurora. As part of Icelandair's transatlantic fleet, the Hekla Aurora began operating to all of Icelandair's destinations at the time, and has a three-day advance schedule available for passengers and observers. On 5 February 2015, Birmingham became Icelandair's 5th gateway in the UK, and the 39th overall, with flights operating twice weekly, on Thursdays and Mondays. On 19 May 2015, Icelandair launched scheduled flights to and from Portland, Oregon in the US: its 14th destination in North America. Flights were set to operate twice weekly, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, until 20 October. Further expansion of Icelandair's global network was announced on 12 May 2015 with new, year-round services from Chicago O’Hare International Airport. Services commenced on 16 March 2016, with flights to Iceland operating four days a week. On 17 August 2015 Icelandair announced the augmentation of its global flight network with a new service between Keflavik and Aberdeen, the company's second Scottish destination. The new service, operated by Air Iceland Connect (a subsidiary of Icelandair Group), commenced in March of the following year, with flights scheduled four times per week. Icelandair commenced scheduled flights to Paris Orly Airport beginning on 29 March 2016. Services to Montréal–Trudeau Airport began on 26 May 2016. In September 2016, Icelandair announced services to Philadelphia, US, starting in May 2017 and Tampa, US starting in Sep 2017. In May 2017, Icelandair unveiled a glacier-themed special livery on Boeing 757-200 (registration TF-FIR) named Vatnajökull, the name of Europe's largest glacier. The special livery was created to commemorate Icelandair's 80th anniversary. In August 2017, Icelandair announced service five days per week to Cleveland, US, which began on 16 May 2018. The route was cut in early 2019. In August 2017, the Cape Verdean government signed an agreement with Icelandic Airlines, part of the Icelandair Group, which turned the administration of TACV to the Icelandic group. The new administration plans include discontinuing the hub at Praia International Airport focusing all of the airline's operations at Amílcar Cabral International Airport and from there serving as a connecting hub between the Americas, Europe and Africa. On 5 November 2017, the company Icelandair (the new TACV administrator) passed the first Boeing 757-200 to TACV to reinforce existing routes, such as daily flights to Lisbon, Fortaleza and Recife (which increases to 4 weekly flights as of 3 December). Since the 1960s, Icelandair has offered passengers travelling on transatlantic flights between North America and Europe an opportunity to stopover in Iceland for up to seven days, at no additional cost. To raise awareness about its stopover offer, the company launched a new social media initiative in 2014, with the hashtag #MyStopover. On 9 January 2018, Icelandair announced that it would provide three non-stop flights a week from Kansas City International Airport to Keflavík International Airport, which commenced on 25 May 2018. Icelandair commenced four weekly flights to and from Dallas Ft. Worth on 30 May 2018. It ended on 6 March 2019. On 5 November 2018, Icelandair announced plans to take over its low-cost competitor, WOW Air, with the two airlines to be operated as separate brands. On 29 November, Icelandair abandoned this endeavour as the shareholders’ meeting pre-conditions were unlikely to be met. On 18 September 2020, the company's share capital was increased with the issue of 23,000,000,000 new shares with a nominal value of 1 Icelandic króna following a public share offering. In addition, the Icelandic government decided to guarantee a line of credit for Icelandair. The guarantee amounts to $120 million. On 9 March 2021, Icelandair Group announced that Air Iceland Connect is to merge with Icelandair by uniting domestic and international services from 16 March 2021 and continuing the current flight operations under the Icelandair brand. Inflight service Icelandair offers three booking classes: Economy Light, Economy, and Saga Class (the last being equivalent to the Business class). Free meals are only available in Saga Class, and a buy on board service is provided for the Economy classes. The airline offered Economy Comfort until April 2018. All of Icelandair's aircraft are equipped with a free-of-charge VOD in-flight entertainment system that includes seatback, and touch-screen monitors for each passenger. The airline claims to be especially children-friendly. Free meals, blankets, pillows and headsets are provided to children, and the inflight system hosts a selection of children's films. Almost all of Icelandair's fleet is equipped with in-flight Wi-Fi, provided by Row 44 and Zodiac Inflight Innovations. The installation of Wi-Fi in all Boeing aircraft was completed. Special assistance is provided for travelling with pets, young travellers and infants, and special service, for example for blind people with seeing-eye dogs, expectant mothers, wheelchair service, portable oxygen concentrator systems. Icelandair Info, the inflight magazine of Icelandair, is printed four times a year in Icelandic and English. First published in 2008, it is also the product catalogue for the airline's Saga Shop. On 1 April 2013 Icelandic band Sigur Rós debuted its latest album, Valtari, exclusively onboard Icelandair's aircraft, two months before the album's general release. Biophilia, Björk's 2011 album, had earlier been released on Icelandair's fleet in the same way. In 2022, Captain Ingvar Mar Jónsson flew a flight to Washington D.C., with the cabin crew consisting of his wife and their three daughters. Frequent-flyer programme Icelandair's frequent-flyer programme is Saga Club, a programme where members can earn Saga points for travelling on Icelandair or partner airlines, and redeem points toward travel or Saga Shop inflight purchases. As of January 2021, Alaska Airlines and JetBlue are the only partner airlines of Icelandair eligible to earn Saga points through Saga Club, while Alaska Airlines is the only partner airline that allows for redeeming points towards travel. Destinations Icelandair flies between Iceland and several destinations across Europe and North America. A few of these destinations are seasonal. Codeshare agreements Icelandair codeshares with the following airlines: airBaltic Alaska Airlines Finnair JetBlue Scandinavian Airlines Turkish Airlines Fleet Current fleet , Icelandair operates a fleet of Boeing and De Havilland aircraft, with more Boeing aircraft on order. It was also announced that negotiations were underway to lease four A321LRs. These will form the replacement for its ageing Boeing 757 fleet. Most of the aircraft in Icelandair's fleet are named after Icelandic volcanoes. Fleet development In 2005, the airline, on behalf of its parent company Icelandair Group, announced an order for ten Boeing 737-800 aircraft with options for five more. Those options were later exercised. These were not placed into service by the airline but leased to other airlines. During that same year, Icelandair announced an order for two Boeing 787 Dreamliners. In 2006, Icelandair announced an order for two more Boeing 787s. In 2011, it was announced that orders for three of the 787s had been cancelled. On 13 February 2013, Icelandair Group announced that the company had finalized an order with Boeing for sixteen new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. Purchase rights for eight additional 737s had also been signed. The value for all sixteen aircraft was US$1.6 billion at Boeing list prices, but the actual purchase price was confidential. The aircraft will be delivered in 2018–2021. The order is for nine 737 MAX 8s configured for 153 passengers; and seven 737 MAX 9s to hold 172 passengers. In comparison, Icelandair Group's current Boeing 757-200 aircraft hold 183 passengers. On 8 May 2019, Icelandair announced that the company was considering ordering the Airbus A321neo and Airbus A321LR as a replacement for their ageing fleet of Boeing 757s, or to run alongside their Boeing 737 MAX 8 or to even replace the MAX 8s entirely, due to the Boeing 737 MAX groundings. On 22 January 2020 Icelandair announced that the airline would lease three Boeing 737-800 airliners to enter service in spring 2020. The aircraft were to be dry leased and flown by Icelandair pilots. However this never took place. On 12 August 2020, Icelandair reached a settlement with Boeing over the MAX groundings. The settlement included reducing the carrier's order for future MAX aircraft by four. On 7 April 2023, Icelandair announced that the airline had signed an MOU for an order of up to 25 A321XLRs: 13 firm orders with 12 further options. At the same time, it was also announced that negotiations were underway to lease four A321LRs. These will form the replacement for its ageing Boeing 757 fleet. This will be the first-ever Airbus order for the Icelandic flag carrier. Special liveries As of September 2018, Icelandair operates three aircraft with special liveries. Two depict the natural beauty of Iceland. One showcases the largest glacier in Europe, Vatnajökull, as well as celebrates the independence of Iceland for 100 years. The other highlights the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights), also part of Icelandair's #IcelandStopover campaign. The third aircraft (Boeing B757 TF-ISX "Þingvellir") is painted in the red, white, and blue livery of Iceland's flag and celebrates both the 100th anniversary of Icelandic National Sovereignty (1918-2018) and the National Men's Football Team's World Cup debut in 2018. Historical fleet Over the years, the airline operated the following aircraft types: Icelandair Cargo Overview Icelandair Cargo is a sister airline to Icelandair; it is Icelandair Group's cargo airline subsidiary. Flugfélag Íslands and Loftleiðir used their aircraft to carry freight as well as passengers, and when Icelandair was established in 1973 a freight division was set up within the airline. After years of operating freighter aircraft as part of Icelandair, Icelandair Cargo was established as a separate entity in 2000. The airline uses available space in the baggage compartments of Icelandair's passenger aircraft, as well as operating two Boeing 757 freighters to destinations in Europe and North America from its base at Keflavík International Airport. In 2021, Icelandair Cargo announced Boeing 767-300ER passenger aircraft would be converted to freighters. The first converted 767-300BCF was delivered to Icelandair on 8 December 2022 with plans to use the increased capacity to establish new routes to the United States. Fleet , the Icelandair Cargo fleet consists of the following aircraft: Iceland Airwaves As one of Iceland's largest companies, Icelandair sponsors many events and charities. The company is, together with the City of Reykjavík, one of two main sponsors of the immensely popular Iceland Airwaves, the annual music festival held in Reykjavík on the first weekend in November. The festival spans five days (Wednesday–Sunday) and its main focus is showcasing new music, both Icelandic and international. Accidents and incidents 29 May 1947 A Flugfélag Islands Douglas DC-3 (registered TF-ISI) crashed near Hjedinsfjordur during a scheduled domestic flight from Reykjavík to Akureyri, killing the 21 passengers and 4 crew on board. To date, this remains the worst aviation accident in Iceland. 7 March 1948 An Avro Anson Mk5 belonging to Loftleiðir crashed on the mountain Skálafell en route from the Westmann Islands (Vestmannaeyjar) to Reykjavík, killing the pilot and the five passengers on board. 31 January 1951 The seventeen passengers and three crew members on board a DC-3 registered TF-ISG were killed when the aircraft crashed in the sea off the Icelandic coast near Hafnarfjörður. The pilots were attempting to land the aircraft at Reykjavík Airport in heavy snowfalls following a flight from Vestmannaeyjar when radar contact was lost. 14 April 1963 A Vickers Viscount (registered TF-ISU) crashed on approach to Oslo-Fornebu Airport. All 12 people on board were killed. 26 September 1970 A Flugfélag Fokker F27 Friendship (registered TF-FIL) crashed into a mountain near Vágar, Faroe Islands while approaching Vágar Airport following a scheduled passenger flight from Bergen, in what is known as controlled flight into terrain. Of the 34 people on board, 7 passengers and 1 crew member were killed. 15 November 1978 Due to a fault in the ground-based instrument landing system transmitter, a Douglas DC-8 registered TF-FLA missed the runway while attempting to land at Colombo Airport in Sri Lanka during a chartered Hajj pilgrimage flight from Jeddah and crashed, killing 8 of the 13 Icelandic crew members, 5 reserve crew members and 170 (mostly Indonesian) Muslim pilgrims from South Borneo, out of a total of 262 passengers and crew (74 passengers and 5 crew members survived the accident). The disaster of Icelandic Airlines Flight LL 001 (a Loftleiðir flight number, but the company had merged with Flugfélag at that time) with its 183 fatalities marks by far the worst accident in the history of Icelandic aviation. 22 January 2002 The crew of Icelandair Flight 315, a Boeing 757-200 registered TF-FIO with 75 passengers on board, unintentionally entered a series of extreme manoeuvres during a go-around from a low altitude following an unstabilised approach into Oslo Airport, Gardermoen. During the incident the aircraft was subjected to load factors over the design limits, culminating in a dive followed by a +3.59 g pull-up manoeuvre clearing the ground by only 321 ft. The speed limit for the flap configuration was also exceeded. Control was regained and a second approach was flown with the aircraft landing safely. The airliner was permitted to proceed on its subsequent scheduled flights without a technical inspection being conducted until 13 March of that year when its manufacturer Boeing recommended further maintenance work after having evaluated the readings from the flight data recorder. The Accident Investigation Board Norway, which led the investigation into the incident, made four safety recommendations, including one to the wider aviation community on operational procedures regarding discontinued approaches. 7 February 2020 Icelandair flight 529, a Boeing 757-200 registered TF-FIA suffered a right-hand main landing gear collapse after landing on runway 10 at Keflavík International Airport, Iceland. There were no injuries among the 166 people on board. 28 September 2022 A Korean Air Boeing 777-300ER (HL7782) performing flight 908 to Seoul collided with the tail of an Icelandair Boeing 757-200 (TF-FIK) performing flight 454 to Keflavík on the ground at Heathrow Airport. There were no injuries and both aircraft received minor damage.

Dimmu Borgir is a Norwegian symphonic black metal band from Jessheim. Formed in 1993, the group was originally a trio which featured Sven Atle "Erkekjetter Silenoz" Kopperud on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Ian Kenneth "Tjodalv" Åkesson on lead guitar, and Stian Tomt "Shagrath" Thoresen on drums. They were soon joined by bassist Ivar "Brynjard" Tristan and keyboardist Stian Aarstad. The band's current lineup is officially a trio comprising Shagrath on lead vocals, Silenoz on rhythm guitar and Tom Rune "Galder" Anderson on lead guitar (since 2000). They are joined by backup members Dariusz "Daray" Brzozowski on drums (since 2008), Geir "Gerlioz" Bratland on keyboards (since 2010) and Victor Brandt on bass (since 2018). History 1993–1999 Silenoz, Tjodalv and Shagrath formed Dimmu Borgir in 1993, finalising the band's initial lineup with the addition of Tristan and Aarstad shortly thereafter. After the group released several early demos and its debut album For all tid, Tjodalv and Shagrath switched roles in the lineup. Shortly after the release of the band's second album Stormblåst, Tristan was replaced by Stian "Nagash" Hinderson for the recording of the Devil's Path EP. Enthrone Darkness Triumphant followed in early 1997, the tour for which saw the addition of Jamie "Astennu" Stinson on lead guitar. During the tour in promotion of Enthrone Darkness Triumphant, Aarstad was fired from Dimmu Borgir after failing to show up for the band's performance at Dynamo Open Air in May 1997. He was temporarily replaced by Kimberly Goss, most recently of Therion, for the remainder of the cycle. Early the next year, Øyvind Johan "Mustis" Mustaparta took over full-time. After the recording of 1999's Spiritual Black Dimensions, both Tjodalv and Nagash left Dimmu Borgir. They were replaced on the subsequent tour by Nicholas Barker and Simen "ICS Vortex" Hestnæs, respectively. 1999–2007 At the end of 1999, Astennu was fired from Dimmu Borgir, which Barker claimed was due to his lack of interest in the band. He was replaced initially early the next year by Lars Archon, before Tom Rune "Galder" Anderson took over in the summer. The lineup of Shagrath, Galder, Silenoz, Vortex, Mustis and Barker remained stable for several years, releasing the albums Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia, World Misanthropy and Death Cult Armageddon. In January 2004, Barker was dismissed from the band, which he suggested was likely due to the fact that he lived in a different country. Despite an early rumour that Barker's place had been taken by Asgeir Mickelson, a bandmate of ICS Vortex's in Borknagar, it was announced in March that the new temporary touring drummer was Reno Kiilerich, most notably of Panzerchrist. After he was unable to obtain a US visa in time for the tour, the drummer was replaced for Ozzfest in the summer by Tony Laureano of Nile. Laureano remained for live shows the following summer, while Mayhem drummer Jan Axel "Hellhammer" Blomberg was brought in to record Stormblåst MMV as a guest session contributor. Since 2007 Hellhammer continued working with Dimmu Borgir for the album In Sorte Diaboli and subsequent tour dates, although he never became an official band member. When he broke his arm in June 2007, he was replaced by the returning Tony Laureano. By October 2008, he had been replaced in the touring lineup by former Vader drummer Dariusz "Daray" Brzozowski. At the end of August 2009, long-term members ICS Vortex and Mustis were both dismissed. The remaining band members later claimed that the pair had displayed "unprofessionalism and bad live performances for years". In 2010, Vortex and Mustis were replaced by Tommie "Snowy Shaw" Helgesson and Geir "Gerlioz" Bratland, respectively, although both were credited as guest performers (alongside Daray) and the band's frontman Shagrath confirmed that only he, Silenoz and Galder were official members of the group. Shaw left in August and was replaced on tour by Susperia frontman Terje "Cyrus" Andersen. He remained until May 2018, when he was replaced by Victor Brandt (of Firespawn and formerly of Entombed A.D.).

The Sanctuary of Saint Anthony the Abbot and Saint Anthony of Padua of Urkiola is a Catholic temple located in the hill and port of Urkiola, in the Biscayan municipality of Abadiño, in the Basque Country, Spain. It is unknown exactly how old the Sanctuary is, but according to some documents, it could have been between the 8th and 11th centuries, making it one of the oldest of the region. It is located at the heart of the Urkiola Natural Park, next to one of the historical routes linking the Cantabrian coast with the Castilian plateau and surrounded by a lush nature in which the limestone walls of the mountains of Durangaldea stand out as a background, with the Anboto as the highest altitude, where Basque mythology places the main dwelling of its highest deity, Mari (called the "Lady of Anboto"). The present structure, the third one known to exist, is an unfinished building in neo-medieval style that was begun in 1899 and consecrated in 1933. This building, together with a small bell tower erected in 1870, the rectory, the old hospital and the hospice, make up the religious complex, which is complemented by two small old chapels, the Santo Cristo and Santa Polonia, a Stations of the Cross and Calvary built in 1943, and the small cemetery in the rural neighborhood. The Sanctuary The sanctuary is right on the dividing line of the Mediterranean and Cantabrian slopes, so that the water that falls on one side of its roof goes to the Mediterranean Sea and the water that falls on the other side goes to the Cantabrian Sea. The disproportion between the enormous construction of the unfinished naves and the small bell tower of the previous temple draws the attention of the visitors. A large staircase serves as access to the church, whose entrance is flanked by the unfinished walls of which would have been the towers and the portico. The central nave forms a garden in which rises the small bell tower of neoclassical style, in the part that has not been occupied for worship. Among the different plants that adorn it, a small monument commemorating the lifestyles of Vizcaya has been erected. This monument is made up of an anchor, a laia and a stone turbine that symbolize the seafaring, agricultural and industrial life of Biscay, respectively. Going up to the left, just at the entrance of the sanctuary, a rare stone (which many say is a meteorite), invites single people to go around it seven times clockwise, as it is believed that one will find a partner if they do so (if the turns are made backwards, it is said that it has the opposite effect). The side naves are now aisles that give access to the temple. The central nave has been closed with a large wall to form the space dedicated to liturgical use. The church was designed in neo-medieval style and oriented to the use. As the work was left unfinished, the position of the altar was changed and it was turned upside down, leaning against the great wall that closes the nave. The rectangular landscape chancel has given place to the choir, and on its sides are the sacristy and a chapel dedicated to the Blessed Sacrament. In the late 20th century, different renovations were carried out to finish off the unfinished work. These works, both on the exterior and interior, were promoted by the group of ex-missionaries belonging to the Basque diocesan missions, who took charge of the sanctuary in May 1970. On the exterior, the large access staircase was built and the top of the wall that closes the main nave was smoothed. In the interior, the walls that form the back of the altar were decorated with mosaics. For the main altar a large mosaic has been built covering the wall that closes the nave and on which a stained glass window has been opened with the figures of the two Saints Anthony, the Abbot and of Padua. Another mosaic has covered the chapel of the Blessed Sacrament and a Stations of the Cross has been made on the floor of the nave, to which the Station of the Resurrection has been added. These mosaics and the Stations of the Cross were made in the sanctuary's own workshop. Imagery The sanctuary has suffered several fires over the years, but among the sanctuary's collection there are several outstanding images. The images of the patron saints, Saint Anthony the Abbot and Saint Anthony of Padua, are of rococo style and date from the 17th century, as they are already mentioned in the inventory of 1605. The historian Labayru attributes them to the Elgoibar sculptor Juan de Iturriza, who was the author of the altarpiece of the previous temple and who delivered them in 1679. Both are 1.10 m high with pedestals of 50 cm. They were made to be in the niche of an altar and not for procession. There is a written reference of 1665 where it indicates that they had attire of clothes and dresses. Carving of the Virgin Mary and child, donated by the Diocesan Museum of Bilbao. It is a Renaissance carving showing a seated image carrying the child on her lap. Christ crucified, image of Renaissance style of the 16th century. It was part of the Vera Cruz of Durango. Carving of Saint Anthony the Abbot, from the previous temple in which it is known that it occupied a side altar and that in 1690 it was moved to preside over the so-called "Cloister of the Pilgrims", where the different votive offerings that the faithful left in gratitude for different favors performed were collected. The image of St. Peter, made in bronze, is a scale reproduction of the image of St. Peter in the Vatican City. Mosaics In the 1990s, the back walls of the altars were covered with mosaics, both in the main altar and in the chapel of the Holy Sacrament. Mosaic of the High Altar (inaugurated in 1996): this work is intended to cover the big wall that closes the central nave and that serves as background to the high altar and is a work of the lay missionary Peli Romarategui that was designed by the priest José María Muñoz. It occupies 170 m2 and has more than 850,000 pieces that were made in the sanctuary itself. Its construction took more than two years. It represents an allegory of the cross turned into a tree that goes through the four seasons of the year. It is the course of man through his four times and the flowering of life represented by the Resurrected Jesus. Mosaic of the chapel of the Santísimo: it is of smaller size than the one of the High Altar and it is made by the same artists. It is the frame to place the carving of the crucified Christ. On a brown background there is a Greek cross, like a nuclear mushroom clouds or the smoke of an erupting volcano, symbolizing injustice and wars. On the sides are located, in niches, the figures of the two Saints Anthony: on the right Saint Anthony of Padua and on the left Saint Anthony the Abbot. Under it is the tabernacle. Under the crucified Christ it states in Basque: ('glory (above) to God in the skies, glory (above) to God in the seas and in the mountains'). Other mosaics: in the chapel is a mosaic that frames the image of the Virgin and child and, then, next to the door of the sacristy, in a simple mosaic, the names of the Basque saints are collected. Stations of the Cross: a Stations of the Cross has been made and placed on the floor of the main nave. Made as a mosaic but with large pieces and made in the sanctuary itself, it has the characteristic that it has one more station, that of the resurrection. Stained glass Along with the mosaics, several stained glass windows were made. The main one adorns the High Altar and the images of the two Saints Anthony have been placed on them. Stained glass of the High Altar: at the base of the wall, behind the High Altar, right in its center, begins this stained glass window that is striking for its colorfulness. It symbolizes the explosion of a grenade and brings the memory of the horror of war, especially the Spanish Civil War that left many dead in this place. It is the work of the glassmakers from Bilbao Cañadas. At the top of the wall opens a hole that has been covered with a stained glass window symbolizing the dove of peace. Work of Gabriel Ramos Uranga and made in the art workshops of Cuenca. Other stained glass windows were designed by José María Muñoz and made by Peli Romarategui, in a workshop in the sanctuary itself: Stained glass of the access doors: on one of the access doors there are stained glass windows showing the silhouette of the sanctuary. On another shows several hands in different positions holding a sprouting plant. Next to the sacristy and the chapel, as well as above the choir, there are sets of stained glass windows depicting the natural vegetation of the surroundings. They show different species of trees and plants. Stained glass of the walls: there are several sets of stained glass windows that close the different openings in the walls. On the side walls there are four stained glass windows showing motifs of the four classical elements, water, air, fire and earth. History The Urkiola area has been relevant in the beliefs of the inhabitants of these lands since prehistoric times. In its surroundings there are abundant archaeological remains and in its maximum height, the Anboto, the autochthonous mythology has located the residence of its maximum figure, Mari numen main of the pre-Christian Basque mythology. The entry of Christianity did not erase the previous beliefs, which remained incarnated in the new creed. Therefore, the Urkiola site has always had a strong spiritual and religious expression. Even in the absence of documentation or archaeological findings to support it, it is estimated that the antiquity of the cult in this place is prior to the Middle Ages and is linked to the entry of Christianity in these lands. The sanctuary of Saints Anthony the Abbot and of Padua was built on a primitive and simple hermitage dedicated to St. Anton, of which there are written references around 1212 when the Infanta Urraca indicated the alms for the hermitage. There are also more references to the year 1567 (one of the rectors of the sanctuary, Benito de Vizcarra, says he can fix the origin of the sanctuary between the 8th and 9th centuries from the legacies that appeared in a document of the will of the County of Durango in the 13th century) and in the 17th century. From the original building it is known that its altar faced east and was located at the entrance of the current temple and that it had a bell tower and portico. Since the 13th century the sanctuary is dedicated to the two Saints Anthony. In 1308 Juan Alonso de Múxica is recorded as protector of the sanctuary. In 1567, apart from the hermitage, the complex was already composed of a house and a hospital and required an income of 61 ducats for its maintenance expenses. In 1625, construction began on a church to replace the hermitage, also dedicated to St. Anthony of Padua. The works were entrusted to Antonio López de Traña with whom Martín de Arriluceaga worked in masonry and Baptista de Orbea in carpentry. In June 1646 the new church was inaugurated with a Latin cross plan with a single nave and dome. This church remained open for worship for 15 years. In 1553 the cloister was built, which was called the pilgrims' cloister, and the choir and sacristy were enlarged. These works were carried out by the stonemason Francisco de Elejalde and the carpenters Asensio de Ojanguren and Cristóbal de Eguizabal. The sacristy and the choir were built in 1662 and 1666, respectively. Shortly after, the altarpiece was built by the architects Juan de Bolialdea, Domingo de Ascorbe and Joanes de Iturriza, who finished it. In 1756, with the approval of the Cabildo and the Patron Saint of Abadiño, it was erected as a parish, detaching itself from the parish of Saint Torcuato, Abadiño's main parish. Next to the temple, a hospital was built to serve the numerous travelers that circulated along this important route, which had a jail and an interior icehouse. In 1772, the rectory was built in front of it. In 1831 four lateral altars were inaugurated. During the social crisis of the 19th century, the church was closed for worship and the images of the saints were transferred to the parish church of Abadiño, where they remained for four years. Once this crisis was overcome, the church was returned to worship and several renovations were made to the temple. The most relevant, and that lasts until today, is the construction of a bell tower in 1870. This tower, in neoclassical style, was the work of the master builder Pedro José Astarbe from Durango. A few years later, the diocesan capital of the Basque Country was located in Vittoria. The diocesan leaders decided to build a great temple in accordance with the spiritual importance of the place. The architect José María de Basterra was in charge of the project, and in 1898 he began the studies and design of the project. It was a great temple in neo-medieval style, like the new cathedral of Vittoria, with a length of 60 m and a width of 30 m. It consisted of three very different naves. The central nave was wide and high, the lateral ones reduced to mere transit aisles. The chevet was rectangular and horizontal and the entrance portico was flanked by two large towers of 40 meters. The temple was accessed by a large staircase. On June 13, 1899, the feast of St. Anthony the Abbot, the first stone of what was to be the new building was laid. The works were carried out in such a way that the previous building remained in use. That same year the hospital burned down. In 1915 the first part was inaugurated and in 1928 the second part was inaugurated, but the works were stopped due to their great cost. It was then when the previous temple was demolished, but the tower that had been built in 1870 was maintained. The works did not continue, leaving only the head of the basilica and the first section of the naves, as well as a second section of the side naves and the foundations of the rest of the building. In 1918, the Board of Works announced the lack of financial resources to continue the work that summer. A nearby place was found for the extraction of the sandstone necessary for the construction, in Urkiolagirre, also known as Koroso mendi, which was located 150 meters from the summit within the municipality of Abadiño, which authorized its exploitation for an annual payment of 10 pesetas and the commitment to ask permission for it every time it was needed. The pieces of stone were taken to the vicinity of the site twice a day, where they were worked. On August 27, 1933, Bishop Mateo Múgica consecrated the church, which, having enclosed the central nave with a wall and placed doors on the sides, was opened for worship. On May 1, 1970, the Basque Diocesan Missions were entrusted with the care of the sanctuary. The new people in charge decided not to finish the building because of its high cost and the fact that the space available was sufficient for the celebration of the liturgy. In any case, renovations were carried out to finish off the unfinished work in a more definitive way. The exterior of the wall enclosing the central nave was decorated and the interior was adorned with mosaics (in 1993 the mosaic of the Chapel of the Most Holy Sacrament was inaugurated and, in 1997, the one of the High Altar) and stained glass windows. In 1991 the great access staircase was built and in 2006 a new guesthouse and an eco-museum were inaugurated. Legend Tradition recalls that Saint Anthony of Padua arrived at Urkiola on his way to Compostela or perhaps traveling to his hometown, Lisbon, and must have spend the night in the pilgrims' hospital, praying and celebrating mass in what was then the hermitage of Saint Anton, to whom he professed such devotion that he adopted his name when he entered the Franciscan order. Rites at the sanctuary It is customary to give different goods to the sanctuary. These gifts are made both by the towns and by the landlords and shepherds. Normally, steers are donated and sold at auction. In the "blessing of the children" the mothers offer to Saint Anthony their children under one year of age after spending the night in the sanctuary. For this, the child is weighed on the scales called (loyal weight) and an offering equal to the weight of the child is made. The offering is usually wheat, oil or wax. The rock at the entrance of the temple is attributed with certain virtues that allow those who go around it clockwise seven times to find a partner (if the turns are made backwards, it is said that it has the opposite effect). For this same purpose, alms, papers with notes, colored pins, etc. are also left. The rock, which is defined as "a conglomerate of stones and pebbles and cobbles and fossils of innumerable kinds that in such a particular way have been mixed and joined with non-artificial cement", was placed in the small square where it is located on November 29, 1929, by order of the then rector of the sanctuary, Benito de Vizcarra. Vizcarra found the stone in a nearby mountain and, given its strangeness, moved it to a place of easy access. The tradition of going around this stone to find a groom is linked to an earlier tradition of sticking pins in a canvas that was in the sacristy. To find a groom, pins were stuck with white heads if the man was to be blond and with black heads if he was to be brunette. The tradition of going up to Urkiola to ask for a bride or groom has given rise to the following couplets: Festivals and important dates Two festivals are celebrated in Urkiola, one in honor of St. Anthony the Abbot and the other in honor of St. Anthony of Padua. Saint Anthony the Abbot: on January 17, the feast of Saint Anthony the Abbot or Saint Anton is celebrated. It is dedicated to domestic animals, which are given a "party" and different rites are performed so that they do not fall ill. This saint is the protector of animals. This feast is repeated the following Sunday. They are made to pass over the fire of a log and are blessed; even the sacristan goes out to visit the nearby villages and hamlets for this purpose and bread is blessed in the services that is then given, soaked in the water of the sanctuary itself, to the animals to eat. Saint Anthony of Padua: celebrated on June 13 and the following Sunday. This saint is entrusted with the search for lost objects and couples. A pilgrimage is held, which used to be attended on foot, and a livestock and agricultural fair. He is the protector of the poor and the needy. St. Joseph: the patron saint of the Diocesan Missions, the institution in charge of the sanctuary, is celebrated on March 19. Blessing of the children: it is celebrated on the second Sunday of July. Married or Family Day: it is celebrated on the third Sunday of July, where the request of hand is made by turning around the stone that is at the entrance of the sanctuary. Thanksgiving Day or Urrixena: is the thanksgiving for the fruitfulness of the field and is celebrated on the second Sunday of October. On January 13, 1924, the Roman Basilica of St. John Lateran, which is the cathedral of the Bishop of Rome, the Pope, was added to the sanctuary. Visitors to the Urkiola sanctuary have the same prerogatives as those who visit the Roman temple. On June 13, 1854, the musician and composer José María Iparraguirre performed for the first time in the Basque Country his well-known work Gernikako arbola at the entrance of the church of Urkiola. Other pieces of the set Together with the sanctuary itself, two hermitages and a Stations of the Cross make up the Urkiola Sanctuary complex. The hermitages, equidistant from the sanctuary and united by a roadway that coincides with the old Camino Real (Royal Road), are: Our Lady of the Remedies and Saint Apollonia, popularly called , is a hermitage located on the Camino Real. It is located over a spring that opens into a large fountain with a washing place. The waters of this fountain are said to have curative properties, and as Apollonia is the patron saint of dentists, it is believed that the waters are good for teeth and toothaches. In the lower part there are remains of another hermitage from at least the 16th century. For the water cure to have an effect, it is said that the following ritual must be done: Santo Cristo or de La Vera Cruz, like the previous one, is a shrine on the edge of the old Camino Real. Tradition has it that pilgrims used to take off their shoes here before arriving at the sanctuary. It was built in 1663. Stations of the Cross and Calvary, built in 1943 by posthumous order of a faithful, it is a double Stations of the Cross, the way out is different from the way back, which leads to a Calvary nestled in a natural balcony that opens on the gorge of Atxarte and Durangaldea.

Paysandu Sport Club, commonly referred to as Paysandu, is a Brazilian professional club based in Belém, Pará founded on 2 February 1914. It competes in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série B, the second tier of Brazilian football, as well as in the Campeonato Paraense, the top flight of the Pará state football league. History On February 2, 1914, members of Norte Club protested against a decision of the football federation of Pará benefiting Remo by terminating the team and refounding another team. Unanimously, the assembly chose Hugo Leão to chair the meeting. As leader of the movement, he proposed the name of Paysandu Foot-Ball Club for the new club. The name was chosen as a tribute to the unfortunate event in Paysandú, a Uruguayan city, which would take the start of the war against Paraguay. That year, the Norte Club held a good campaign and needed to beat Guarany to force an extra match against Grupo do Remo. After the match finished in a draw, the members of the Norte Club asked the Pará state League to cancel the match due to various irregularities. However, the league board dismissed the appeal. The decision did not please members of the Norte Club, who then started a movement, under the leadership of Hugo Leão, for the foundation of a stronger, new association. This movement bothered the members of Grupo do Remo, who tried to persuade Hugo Leão to abandon the idea. In February 1914, the newspaper O Estado do Pará made the call for the meeting of a new club. The call by the newspaper had a large effect, causing 42 athletes to attend the meeting, many of whom had been part of the Norte Club, in addition to other different associations. With the name now decided, the assembly elected the first president, Deodoro de Mendonça. The committee to draft the Statutes of the club was also chosen, with the ones elected being: Deodoro de Mendonça, Eurico Amanajás and Arnaldo Morais. The second meeting was held on February 10, 1914 at the same location of the first. More than 15 new members joined Paysandu, with the number of members being increased to 100 and all of them considered founding partners. At the third meeting, on February 19, 1914, Paysandu's status was revised from "Foot-Ball" to "Sport Club" after a vote in the assembly, with the aim of requesting Paysandu's affiliation within the Pará State League. So Paysandu Sport Club was officially founded on February 2, 1914. In 1991 and 2001, Paysandu was the champion of Série B. In 2002 the club was champion of Copa Norte, and later, champion of Copa dos Campeões, beating powerhouse Palmeiras in the semi-finals, and then edging Cruzeiro on penalties after a 5-5 draw on aggregate, which qualified them to the 2003 Copa Libertadores as cup winners. Paysandu also won the Campeonato Paranaense that year, for a record third year in a row. Despite winning three trophies that year, in the 2002 Serie A Paysandu struggled, finishing 20th and only two points from relegation. The following season was very similar, with the club struggling in the league, and only avoiding relegation through goal difference. However, the 2003 Copa Libertadores was a lot different. This was Paysandu's first participation in the competition, and they began by finishing the group stage undefeated (four wins, two draws), including a famous 6-2 victory over Cerro Porteño in Paraguay. In the round of 16, the club was faced with powerhouse Boca Juniors, who eventually won the competition and then the Intercontinental cup. In the first leg at La Bombonera, Paysandu won 1-0 with a goal from Iarley. Boca came back and won the second leg 4-2 in Belém, eliminating the Brazilians. Their 2004 Série A campaign was a lot better, with the club finishing comfortably in mid table, even though they started the season winless in the first nine matches. However in the 2005 Série A the team was relegated, finishing second to last and losing 25 out of 42 games, the most of any team that season. In 2006 the club was relegated from Serie A, until reaching promotion back to the second division in 2012. Since then, the club has been yoyoing between Serie B and C. The club also has three titles of the Copa Verde, as well as being the largest state winners with a record 49 titles. Symbols Crest The crest is blue and white, with the initials PSC, in reference to the name Paysandu Sport Club. At the bottom, there is a winged foot. Crest creator Mário Bayma explained its meaning: "The team's goal of speed would never be equaled or surpassed by its opponents, because it would reach the limit of the flight." Above the shield are three stars, two silver stars symbolizing the Série B titles of 1991 and 2001, and one gold star (central) symbolizing the title of Copa dos Campeões in 2002. Anthem The official anthem of Paysandu was composed in 1916 by the poet José Simões, while the music was made by Professor Manuel Luís de Paiva. There is also the "popular" hymn, composed by Francisco Pires Cavalcanti, excited about the victory of Paysandu against Peñarol in 1965, which is better known than the official team anthem. Traditional home kit The uniform was proposed by Hugo Leão, first president of Paysandu, at the meeting held on February 10, 1914. The proposal was only approved by the general assembly, by unanimous vote of the members, on February 19, 1914, seventeen days after the foundation of the club. The uniform follows the same model to the present day. Rivalries Paysandu's biggest rival is Remo, with whom it plays the Clássico Rei da Amazônia (Amazon King derby) or Re-Pa. The first game took place on 14 June 1914, with Remo winning 2–1. On 26 July 1945, the biggest score in the derby took place. Paysandu won 7–0 in a match valid for the Campeonato Paraense of that year. In 2016, the derby was declared intangible cultural heritage of the Pará state, being qualified as a cultural expression of the people of Pará. A further minor rivalry exists between Paysandu and Tuna Luso. The first match happened on 11 December 1932, a friendly that ended tied at 3–3. Stadium Paysandu's stadium is Curuzu, which has a maximum capacity of 16,200 people. Mangueirão also held several Paysandu matches, such as Copa Libertadores matches and Campeonato Brasileiro matches against high-profile clubs.

In measure theory, given a measurable space and a signed measure on it, a set is called a for if every -measurable subset of has nonnegative measure; that is, for every that satisfies holds. Similarly, a set is called a for if for every subset satisfying holds. Intuitively, a measurable set is positive (resp. negative) for if is nonnegative (resp. nonpositive) everywhere on Of course, if is a nonnegative measure, every element of is a positive set for In the light of Radon–Nikodym theorem, if is a σ-finite positive measure such that a set is a positive set for if and only if the Radon–Nikodym derivative is nonnegative -almost everywhere on Similarly, a negative set is a set where -almost everywhere. Properties It follows from the definition that every measurable subset of a positive or negative set is also positive or negative. Also, the union of a sequence of positive or negative sets is also positive or negative; more formally, if is a sequence of positive sets, then is also a positive set; the same is true if the word "positive" is replaced by "negative". A set which is both positive and negative is a -null set, for if is a measurable subset of a positive and negative set then both and must hold, and therefore, Hahn decomposition The Hahn decomposition theorem states that for every measurable space with a signed measure there is a partition of into a positive and a negative set; such a partition is unique up to -null sets, and is called a Hahn decomposition of the signed measure Given a Hahn decomposition of it is easy to show that is a positive set if and only if differs from a subset of by a -null set; equivalently, if is -null. The same is true for negative sets, if is used instead of See also References Measure theory

Augusta is an unincorporated community located within Frankford Township, in Sussex County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the population for the ZIP Code Tabulation Area 07822 was 887. Augusta is the home of the New Jersey State Fair and the Sussex County Farm and Horse Show. Skylands Park, a 4,300-seat ballpark, was home to the New Jersey Cardinals of the New York–Penn League from 1993 to 2005, and the Sussex Skyhawks of the Can-Am League from 2006 to 2010. The stadium is the home of the Sussex County Miners of the Frontier League, which debuted in the Can-Am League for the 2015 season. Geography Augusta is located at 41°8'42" North, 74°41'5" West (41.145086, -74.684753). Augusta lies in the Kittatinny Valley which is part of the Great Appalachian Valley. The Kittatinny Mountains are to the west and the New Jersey Highlands are to the east. Geology Augusta lies on top of the Ordovician Martinsburg Formation, created around 450 million B. C. when a volcanic chain of islands collided with the proto North American plate. The islands rode over top of the North American plate creating the valley. The valley was under a shallow sea until geologic pressure forced the shale upwards. The Wisconsin Glacier covered the valley from 21,000 B.C. to 13,000 B.C. Augusta was covered in three hundred meters of ice. When the ice slowly melted this created the Paulinskill River as well as Papakatkin Creek. The Paulinskill River, which starts in Newton and flows westerly through Augusta from Lafayette, drains into the Delaware River to the southwest. The Paulinskill is one of the premier fishing streams in the state of New Jersey. Each year, thousands of trout are stocked in the Paulinskill River from the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife. Papakatkin Creek drains into the Wallkill River to the north. The drainage divide is just north of Route 206 in Augusta. A chain of hills leads Papakatkin Creek to travel east and then north into the Wallkill River. Notable people People who were born in, residents of, or otherwise closely associated with Augusta include: Russ Van Atta (1906–1986), MLB pitcher who played with the New York Yankees and St. Louis Browns and was later elected as Sheriff of Sussex County.

The Tibetan Buddhist canon is a loosely defined collection of sacred texts recognized by various schools of Tibetan Buddhism, comprising the Kangyur or Kanjur ('Translation of the Word') and the Tengyur or Tanjur ('Translation of Treatises'). Tibetan Buddhist canon In addition to earlier foundational Buddhist texts from early Buddhist schools, mostly the Sarvastivada and Mahayana texts, the Tibetan canon includes Tantric texts. The last category is not always sharply distinguished from the others: the Tantra division sometimes includes material usually not thought of as Tantric in other traditions, such as the Heart Sutra and even versions of material found in the Pali Canon. The Tibetans did not have a formally arranged Mahayana canon, and so devised their own scheme with two broad categories: the "Words of the Buddha" and later the commentaries; the Kangyur and Tengyur respectively. The Tengyur underwent a final compilation in the 14th century by Bu-ston (1290–1364). There is no proof that Bu-ston also took part in the collection and edition of the Tsal pa Kangyur, although he consecrated a copy of this Kangyur 1351 when he visited (Eimer 1992:178). According to sakya mchog ldan (1428-1507), Bu-soon edited a Kanjur; however, it is not known which one. "The Kangyur usually takes up a hundred or a hundred and eight volumes, the Tengyur two hundred and twenty-five, and the two together contain 4,569 works." Kangyur or "Translated Words" consists of works in about 108 volumes supposed to have been spoken by the Buddha himself. All texts presumably once had a Sanskrit original, although in many cases the Tibetan text was translated from Chinese or some other language. Tengyur or "Translated Treatises" contains commentaries, treatises and abhidharma works (both Mahayana and non-Mahayana), in all, around 3,626 texts in 224 volumes. The Kangyur is divided into sections on Vinaya, Perfection of Wisdom sutras, other sutras (75% Mahayana, 25% Hinayana), and tantras. It includes texts on the Vinaya, monastic discipline, metaphysics, and the tantras. Some describe the prajñāpāramitā philosophy, others extol the virtues of the various bodhisattvas, while others expound the Trikāya and the Ālaya-Vijñāna doctrines. When the term Kangyur was first used is unknown. Collections of canonical Buddhist texts existed already in the time of Trisong Detsen, the sixth king of Tibet, who ruled from 755 until 797 CE, in Spiti. The exact number of texts in the Kangyur is not fixed. Each editor takes responsibility for removing texts they consider spurious, and adding new translations. Currently there are about 12 available versions of the Kangyur. These include the Derge, Lhasa, Narthang, Cone, Peking, Urga, Phudrak, and Stog Palace versions, each named for the physical location where it was printed. In addition, some canonical texts have been found in Tabo Monastery and Dunhuang which provide earlier exemplars of texts found in the Kangyur. All extant Kangyur appear to stem from the Old Narthang Monastery Kangyur. The stemma of the Kangyur have been well researched, by Helmut Eimer in particular. Bön Kangyur The Tibetan Bön religion also has its canon literature divided into two sections called the Kangyur and Tengyur, said to have been translated from foreign languages, but the number and contents of the collection are not yet fully known. Apparently, Bön began to take on a literary form about the time Buddhism entered Tibet. The Bön Kangyur contains the revelations of Tonpa Shenrab (Wylie: gShen rab), the traditional founder of Bön. A version was published in 1993-1997.

Kawa Ada (born June 12, 1980) is an Afghan-Canadian actor, writer and producer. He distinguished himself as a stage actor on Broadway and in Toronto before pursuing a career as a film and television actor and a writer. He is also a dancer, a choreographer, a keynote speaker and a voice actor, most recently known for playing Razaq in The Breadwinner. Early life Ada was born on June 12, 1980, in Kabul, Afghanistan, in a Dari-speaking family belonging to the Pashtun aristocracy. His father was a famous national chess champion. In the midst of the Soviet–Afghan War, when Ada was but a young child, his family was forced to flee the country. They entered Pakistan as refugees, from where they emigrated to India. His sister Blanesta Ada was then born on May 17, 1983. Growing up there, Ada dreamed of becoming a Bollywood movie star. The family then illegally moved to Switzerland, where his father was arrested and detained. When Ada was 8 years old, his family finally emigrated to Canada, where they settled in Toronto. In school, he was recognized as a studious and bright kid who was very much involved in student life, and has described his high-school self as a nerd. Ada pursued his higher education in the United-States, where he graduated as valedictorian from the Boston Conservatory with a BFA in Theatre. Career After graduating from the Boston Conservatory, Ada was immediately cast on Broadway in Bombay Dreams. He then perfected his Shakespearean skills with the Publick Theatre in plays such as Troilus and Cressida. In parallel to this work, Ada came up with an original text based on his personal experiences during the Soviet invasion of his home-country, his difficult journey to relocate and integrate into Western culture and the hurdles of being an Afghan in America following the September 11 attacks. This piece, The Canny Afghani, premiered at the Boston Center for the Arts in 2004 as Ada's first one-man show. He would explain that: Back in Canada, Ada made a name for himself during three seasons of the Shaw Festival, along with parts in productions of The Grand, Canadian Stage and Cahoots Theatre. His performances were appreciated and earned him The Shaw Festival Outstanding Newcomer award in 2007 and the Stage West – Equity Emerging Theatre Artist Award the next year. His subsequent role in Paper SERIES drew further attention and earned him a nomination for a Dora Award. After that, he was cast as a lead in My Granny the Goldfish, after which he was consistently given leading parts. Eventually, he would even be established enough as an actor that he did not have to audition anymore. In 2014, Ada wrote his second play, The Wanderers, which combines comedy, kinky sex, suicide, ghosts, hysteria, nudity and religious imagery, on the backdrop of an otherwise timeless tale of father-son conflict. Although the production of the play by Cahoots Theatre garnered mixed reviews, the depth and richness of the text would soon be rehabilitated and go on to be studied in universities. The same year, Ada released his first short film, Jihad Gigolo, which he wrote, produced and starred in: the story of a young man who makes ends meet by dressing up as a "terrorist call boy" to fulfill the weird fantasies of his clients, until his girlfriend and the Secret Service find out. The movie premiered at the ReelWorld Film Festival where it was received well. The next year, Ada was highly praised for his part in Accidental Death of an Anarchist. Theatre critic Amanda Campbell declared that "Kawa Ada, as the Madman, is a breathtaking tour de force, bursting with energy and words and playful shenanigans that cascade out of him with breakneck speed and formidable urgency.", while Robert Crew of The Star wrote: "Kawa Ada is a marvel in the role. He swaggers, skips, hops into someone’s lap, overacts to the hilt, mugs and wows the audiences with a smile that could melt a Newfoundland iceberg." The performance earned him a Dora award, and he was named NOW Magazine's Toronto's Best Male Actor. This success was immediately followed, the same year, by another noted performance in Bombay Black. In this play, Ada was cast as Aspara, a young female dancer who makes a living by dancing for men in private. At first, he was reticent to "take away" a role written for a woman, but he was convinced to take on the challenge as an opportunity to question gender in a patriarchal society. He choreographed himself the dances, which were deemed "enchanting" and "impossibly ethereal". The hard work that went into Ada's interpretation of Aspara was praised, eventually earning him the Toronto Theatre Critics Award for Best Male Actor of the Year. In a radio interview, he explained his artistic approach thusly: In December 2016, Ada suffered a leg fracture, which kept him off-stage for some time and put a definitive end to his dancing career. Nevertheless, his work as a playwright and director continued, and in January 2017 he presented The Death of Mrs. Gandhi and the Beginning of New Physics (A Political Fantasy). In this satiric fusion of feminism and politics, four powerful women – Margaret Thatcher, Imelda Marcos, Benazir Bhutto and Kim Campbell – gather for Indira Gandhi's funeral, but are hijacked by a time-travelling terrorist. In 2017, Ada lent his voice to Razaq in the animated feature film The Breadwinner, based on the best-selling novel by Deborah Ellis, which had its world premiere at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival. In addition to his voice performance, Ada was a dialect and accent coach to his fellow actors on set. As of 2018, Ada is a playwright in residence at Tarragon Theatre, where he is working on his next play, Finding Islam, the story of a mother investigating the disappearance of her son, who is suspected to have joined ISIS. During this time he has also taught as an acting professor at the George Brown Theatre School. Other careers In parallel to his stage career, Ada has also worked in higher education administration. He has notably worked in the department of Student Community and Leadership Development at York University. As of 2019, he was working at the Student Housing and Hospitality Services at the University of British Columbia, first as a Residence Life Manager, before being promoted to Associate Director. As part of this position, he notably launched a podcast on leadership, titled "Are you being served?" Ada is also a national keynote speaker on issues of diversity, inclusion and motivation. This work as a promoteur of values of diversity and empowerment has also influenced his approach to acting. When talking about the production of David French's famously Newfoundland-rooted play Salt-Water Moon with actors that were not typical Newfoundlanders, Ada explained: Similarly, in a group interview following the presentation of The Breadwinner at the Toronto International Film Festival, Ada stressed the political importance of the film: Personal life Ada is fluent is Persian and English, and also knows Hindi and French. Ada identifies as queer. He is a Trekkie, especially fond of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and used to collect unopened Star Trek figurines. His goddaughter is also an actress. He met her at Factory Theatre, where Ada has been a mentor to younger actors, and the two of them would eventually star together in A Christmas Carol.

In mathematics, the Liouville–Neumann series is an infinite series that corresponds to the resolvent formalism technique of solving the Fredholm integral equations in Fredholm theory. Definition The Liouville–Neumann (iterative) series is defined as which, provided that is small enough so that the series converges, is the unique continuous solution of the Fredholm integral equation of the second kind, If the nth iterated kernel is defined as n−1 nested integrals of n operators , then with so K0 may be taken to be . The resolvent (or solving kernel for the integral operator) is then given by a schematic analog "geometric series", where K0 has been taken to be . The solution of the integral equation thus becomes simply Similar methods may be used to solve the Volterra equations. See also Neumann series References Mathews, Jon; Walker, Robert L.

The Utah Telecommunication Open Infrastructure Agency (UTOPIA) is a consortium of 16 Utah cities engaged in deploying and operating a fiber to the premises network to every business and household (about 160,000) within its footprint. Using an active Ethernet infrastructure and operating at the wholesale level, UTOPIA is considered an open-access network and promotes competition in all telecommunications services. History 2002 First feasibility study 2004 authorization of first bonds 2007 falls short of subscriber goal of 35%, reaching only 16% subscribership to service. 2014 proposal for a private equity firm purchase, which fails to go through 2015 approached net zero operational cost, which would end years of operational losses subsidized by member cities. Operations UTOPIA operates as a wholesale fiber-optic network and is prohibited by law from providing retail services. There are currently 17 service providers on the UTOPIA network and the network is open to additional service providers that meet certain qualifications. Though UTOPIA has extended an open invitation to Comcast, CenturyLink (formerly Qwest), and Frontier Communications, the incumbent service providers, all have declined to join the network. Financing UTOPIA bonds for construction costs using sales tax pledges as collateral to secure the bond. Revenues to cover the bonds are then set aside by pledging cities in an interest-bearing account and will only be used should subscriber revenues fail to cover the debt service. Because UTOPIA cities all bond at the same time and use their collective bond ratings and taxing authority, financing is generally seen as low-risk and secures a low interest rate. UTOPIA encountered financial problems in late 2007 and halted all new construction. They have applied for and been approved for loans from the US Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service (RUS) program. These loans required UTOPIA to submit a construction plan for approval and, once approved, apply for reimbursement. UTOPIA reportedly ran into multiple delays in seeking reimbursement before being outright refused any further reimbursement from RUS without explanation. At the time, UTOPIA had $11M in outstanding construction costs that had not been reimbursed by RUS. UTOPIA has since sued RUS for damages. Because of these problems, UTOPIA asked its pledging member cities to extend the bonding period from 20 to 30 years and bond for additional to connect additional customers, complete unfinished sections of the network, and provide two years of capitalized interest payments. The new bond is for $185M with a total cost including interest of $500M. The network has over 11,000 subscribers. A new proposal in 2014 has surfaced from an Australian investment company called Macquarie Group. By June 27, 2014 eleven of the cities will need to decide to move forward with a proposed plan to incorporate the expense of construction costs as a mandatory utility fee or not. The proposed fees would range from about $18–25 more per month for everyone in those cities. Regardless, the cities still retain this debt, and if the plan was voted down, then each of those cities would have to raise city taxes/fees in order to pay off the loans. Utah Infrastructure Agency The Utah Infrastructure Agency (UIA) is an interlocal agency formed in June 2010 with 9 of the 11 original UTOPIA pledging member cities. UIA is a funding mechanism to finance new build areas for new customers. Beginning with the deployment in Brigham City in 2009, UTOPIA began a ftth ownership-like model of installation to the subscriber. This is either done as a lump-sum payment of $2,750 or financed over 10 or 20 years. The UIA provides a way to finance payments using bonds backed by subscribers and issued by the participating cities. The payment is around $25/mo on the 20-year plan or $30/mo and $300 down for a 10-year option. They have also introduced a lease option which requires a 1-year commitment for $30 a month (goes to Month-to-Month billing after the period is up). UIA previously offered a 2-year lease instead. Even though leasing does not lead to owning the fiber portal as a house utility in the future, it has been wildly successful due to the low commitment. These financing options only cover the cost of the network connection and service is billed separately (around $35/mo for 250Mbit/s or $50–65 for 1Gbit/s symmetrical service as of May 2017). UTOPIA Fiber cities Utopia is available in at least parts of the following cities: Brigham City Centerville Clearfield Layton Lindon Midvale Morgan Murray Orem Payson Perry Pleasant Grove Syracuse, Utah Tremonton West Point City West Valley City Woodland Hills Types of service The types of service provided depend on the service provider. UTOPIA itself doesn't set any requirements on the services offered. VOIP (Phone) IPTV (Video) Data (Internet) Service providers Network management/design UTOPIA's network design is handled by UTOPIA's Network Engineers.

Marcus Gnaeus Licinius Rufinus ( fl. ca. 210–240) was a Roman Imperial official, senator and jurist from Thyateira in Lydia. He held a number of secretarial posts for the emperor, served as governor of Noricum, and was one of the twenty senators who led the resistance against Maximinus Thrax's invasion of Italy in 238 AD. He is known from extracts of his legal work, Regulae and from honorific inscriptions erected for him in Thyateira, Thessaloniki, and Beroea. Life Rufinus was born in Thyateira in Lydia perhaps in the mid-180s AD. Thus, like many Roman jurists of the third century AD, he was culturally Greek. His double praenomen may indicate that he was descended from Italian settlers. He must have studied Roman law and learnt Latin, but it is unclear where or how he did this. Imperial career He began his career in Imperial service as an equestrian, probably in the reign of Caracalla (211-217 AD). His earliest known office is as consiliarius Augusti, a member of the council which provided day-to-day advice to the emperor. He was appointed Ab epistulis graecis, the official responsible for Imperial correspondence in Greek, and then A studiis Augusti (Imperial tutor). Then he served as A rationibus (secretary of finance). After this he was probably A libellis (or perhaps a responsis), the emperor's legal secretary, who processed petitions submitted to the emperor and drafted the Imperial replies. On the basis of stylistic similarities with Rufinus' legal writings, Fergus Millar tentatively suggests that Rufinus was the secretary who held office from October 222 to October 223 (known in modern scholarship as "secretary no. 7"), early in the reign of Severus Alexander (r. 222–235). His removal from office would have followed the murder of the praetorian prefect Ulpian in the summer of 223. Probably in the reign of Severus Alexander, Rufinus was adlected inter aedilicios to the Senate and served as praetor. He was legatus Augusti pro praetore (governor) of the province of Noricum, modern Austria, and commander of the legio II Italica. At some point after this, he achieved consular status. He may have achieved this by serving as one of the suffect consuls or through a special dispensation from the emperor. In 238 AD, he was one of the twenty men appointed by the Senate to lead the opposition to Maximinus' invasion of Italy. After this, Gordian III named him as an amicus Caesaris ("friend of the Emperor"). Honorific inscriptions Rufinus is honoured by four inscriptions from his hometown of Thyateira. These show that he was a clarissimus of consular rank and amicus Caesaris ("friend of the Emperor"). Three of these inscriptions (TAM V.2 984–986) honour him as "founder and benefactor" of the city. The fourth inscription, erected by an association of gardeners, is much fuller. It praises him for carrying out embassies to the emperor in order to secure "all the rights" for Thyateira and for making generous monetary contributions to the city. It also gives a chronological account of the offices that he had held in the Imperial service, which provides the basis for historians' reconstructions of his career. At some point, probably after he achieved consular rank, Rufinus served as a lawyer for the League of the Macedonians "in the matter of the contribution of the Thessalians." This was probably a dispute about the amount of taxation that the Thessalian League was required to pay to the League of the Macedonians, which had arisen after Thessaly was transferred from the province of Achaia to the province of Macedonia. It is likely that this case was argued before the emperor. For this, Rufinus was honoured by two inscriptions, one in Thessalonica and the other in Beroea. The Thessalonican inscription (IG X.2(1) 142) makes reference to his status as a jurist, calling him "most versed in the laws." Licinius Rufinus had a son, Gnaeus Licinius Rufinus the younger, who was honoured with two inscriptions at Thyateira (TAM V.2 987–988). Writings Rufinus wrote a work of jurisprudence in Latin called Regulae ("examplars") which was twelve or thirteen books long.

Clotilde Micheli (11 September 1849 - 24 March 1911) was an Italian Roman Catholic professed religious who established the order known as the Sisters of Angels; she assumed the religious name Maria Serafina of the Sacred Heart upon the order's foundation and her profession into it. She had once before been part of a religious order in which she received the name Maria Annunziata but discarded it when she left their ranks. Micheli was beatified in Benevento in 2011 after Pope Benedict XVI granted approval for her beatification to take place. Cardinal Angelo Amato presided over the celebration on the behalf of the pontiff. Life Clotilde Micheli was born in Imer, Austrian Empire on 11 September 1849. She received Confirmation at the age of three in 1852 from the Bishop of Trent Johann Nepomuk von Tschiderer zu Gleifheim. During her childhood she reported having her first apparition in which her guardian angel came to her with an invitation from the Blessed Mother to consecrate herself as a virgin to her. She had her First Communion in 1858 at the age of nine and after this felt a strong pull to the religious life; she spent her nights in long periods of adoration to the Eucharist. As a child she received her education from her mother who instilled in her a sense of virtue and the fundamental Christian ethics. On the night of 2 August 1867 - in the parish church of her hometown - the Blessed Mother appeared with angels around her and showed her that it was Micheli's mission to found a religious congregation that would have as its crucial aim the adoration of God and Jesus Christ as the spirit under her patronage. Micheli received the consolation of a friend and went to Venice for the spiritual guidance of Domenico Agostini - future cardinal and Patriarch of Venice - who advised her to draft a Rule; she was frightened at the prospect of this and believed she had no inspiration so returned in sadness to her hometown having written nothing. Micheli relocated to Padua in 1867 close to the priest Angelo Piacentini whom she confided her doubts to. She remained under his spiritual direction until his death in 1876; in 1878 she realized that her parents - without her knowledge - were in the process of arranging a marriage for her. Her response to this was to flee to Epfendorf in the German Kingdom. Micheli remained there until 1885 where she worked as a nurse in a clinic that the Elizabethan Sisters ran. However her mother died in 1883 and her father followed in 1885 around the time she left Epfendorf for her hometown and remained there alone until 1887 when she decided to discern her project for a congregation. Alongside her niece Giuditta she - in May 1887 - set out on foot for a pilgrimage to Rome and made it an objective to stop at all Marian sanctuaries along the route as a means of receiving further inspiration for her project. In August she arrived in Rome and joined the order known as the Suore Immacolatine; she took the habit and received the name of "Maria Annunziata". She remained with that order until 1891 and served as the Mother Superior of a convent in the village of Sgurgola in the Diocese of Anagni. She came to know the Franciscan priest Francesco Fusco da Trani while she was in Assisi during her pilgrimage and he wrote to her in order to advise her to leave her order and go to Piedimonte d'Alife where the bishop Antonio Scotti had plans for an order of his own. However upon meeting Scotti she realized their plans were not at all similar. Micheli then travelled to Caserta and - alongside the nun Filomena Scaringi - remained in a household with people who provided her with both material and spiritual support. She set her own house in Casolla with two women and led to the Bishop of Caserta Enrico De Rossi authorizing the small congregation Micheli had established as the Sisters of the Angels on 28 June 1891. She discarded her previous religious name and took the name of "Maria Serafina of the Sacred Heart". During her lifetime her order flourished with a total of fifteen houses being established. The order would later spread elsewhere to places such as Indonesia and Benin. A house in Faicchio opened in June 1899 as a place for formation. She became quite ill in 1895 - almost close to death - and refused herself medical treatment. Instead she was moved elsewhere for a period of rest in order to recover from her illness. On one particular occasion a seminarian - whom Satan had possessed - arrived in the garden adjacent to the convent and asked for her. The sisters did not want to fatigue Micheli so said she wasn't there; the seminarian knew this was a lie and began to inveigh against the sisters in an inhuman voice. Micheli then approached and demanded he be quiet to which the voice said: "You are damned!"; the sisters inquired about the demons present to which the inhuman voice said: "we are seven". Micheli took the seminarian aside to listen to him and then applied both holy water and the sign of the Cross on him - this succeeded in driving the devils out of him and was a successful exorcism. Micheli died on 24 March 1911. Her remains are interred in Faicchio. Beatification The beatification process commenced on 9 July 1990 after the Congregation for the Causes of Saints - under Pope John Paul II - declared "nihil obstat" (nothing against) to the cause which also granted her the posthumous title of Servant of God. The diocesan process spanned from 1 October 1990 until 15 March 1992 and saw the thorough investigation of her life as well as the visions that she was prone to. Upon the closure of this process all documentation was submitted to Roman officials for investigation on their end; the so-called "Roman Phase" commenced on 2 July 1993 after the diocesan process was cleared of having done its work according to the set criteria. The postulation compiled and submitted the Positio to Rome for further investigation while the large dossier included biographical details as well as attesting to the manner in which she led her life according to Christian values. This also had to face the historical commission on 14 January 2003 who had to determine whether or not there were obstacles to the cause; the historians approved it and thus would allow the cause to continue. On 3 July 2009 she was conferred the title of Venerable after Pope Benedict XVI acknowledged the fact that Micheli had practiced a model Christian life of heroic virtue - both cardinal and theological. The process for the miracle required for her beatification opened on 28 November 2003 in the diocese of its origin and closed on 25 January 2005; it was then submitted to Roman officials for further investigation and received formal ratification on 20 May 2005. The Rome-based medical board met in order to discuss if the healing was indeed a credible miracle and approved it after meeting on 3 December 2009 while consulting theologians approved it on 26 March 2010; the Congregation for the Causes of Saints followed suit on 8 June 2010 and passed it to Benedict XVI for his approval on 1 July 2010. Micheli received beatification on 28 May 2011 in Benevento; Cardinal Angelo Amato presided over the beatification on the behalf of Benedict XVI. The current postulator assigned to the cause is Giuseppina Romano.

The Sex Nest () is a 1970 West German sex comedy directed by Alfred Vohrer. The film is about a brothel for neglected wives that is predominantly staffed by men. It is based on the novel by . Plot summary The so-called yellow house Pinnasberg is a Hamburg brothel for women, which is led by authoritarian "General" Werner Zibell, supported by its busy night porter. When one of his guys dies, he is replaced by the sociology student Stefan Bornemann, who intends to do practical studies here. Here, Stefan falls in love with Luise Zibell, the daughter of the brothel owner. Meanwhile, anger is finally appeased by his wife Clarissa. She persuades him to accept Stefan as a son and set the yellow house for sale. This is done just in time, because the work on a subway tunnels lead shortly after to the collapse of the house. Release The Sex Nest was released in West Germany on February 27, 1970. The film also had the alternative German title Eine Wohltat fur alle Frauen: Das gelbe Haus am Pinnasberg. Reception In a contemporary review, the Monthly Film Bulletin noted the acting and direction in the film were "of a much higher standard than in most German sex fare" but noted that the film's humour was still "terribly heavy-handed and the film's two 'serious' sub-plots...are never successfully integrated into the comic narrative."

Fatat al-Khedr (; ) is an Arabic poem from the pre-Islamic period composed by Al-Munakhal. According to the old tales and what is recorded by Abu al-Faraj al-Isfahani, Al-Munakhal composed the poem for Queen Malawiya (Al-Mutajareda), the daughter of Zuhayr ibn Jadhima and the wife of King Al-Nu'man III ibn al-Mundhir, after he had an affair with her. In the end, al-Nu'man III discovered the relationship, which led to Al-Munakhal disappearance and death. With this poem, al-Munakhal was able to live in the memory of Arabic poetry, since the poem is considered to be different from the other poems that were at that time. The poem was mentioned in several other poems and imitated by many poets. It is said that he said the poem in 597 AD.

Nutana Park (sometimes referred to as South Nutana Park) is a mostly residential neighbourhood located in south-central Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. It is a suburban subdivision, consisting mostly of low-density, single detached dwellings. As of 2021, the area is home to 2,959 residents. The neighbourhood is considered a middle-income area, with an average personal income of $42,630 and a home ownership rate of 83.3%. According to MLS data, the average sale price of a home as of 2020 was $346,929. History The most of the land for the Nutana Park neighbourhood was annexed by the city between 1910 and 1919, with the remaining southern piece annexed between 1960 and 1969. According to a 1913 map of registered subdivisions, the name "Nutana Park" was one of many developments in the area, the rest of which went unbuilt. Some of the other subdivisions included University Park, Nutana View, Sterling Park, Alta Vista and Hampton Park. Home building began in the area after World War II, with the greatest activity between 1961 and 1970. The majority of residential units are single-family detached houses, with a small number of semi-detached and apartment units. The area was once served by two elementary schools under the Saskatoon Public Schools. Prince Philip School began construction in 1959 and opened in 1960. Another public elementary school, Lorne Haselton School, opened in 1961 but closed in 1985 and later occupied (1988) by Saskatchewan Abilities Council. The school was named in honour of Dr. L. D. Haselton, a longtime school dentist and board member. St. James Elementary School served the neighbourhood until 2005, when it was closed due to declining enrolment. One notable alumnus of the school is Mike Babcock, current NHL head coach of the Toronto Maple Leafs. After St. James' closure, the francophone École canadienne-française Pavillon Gustave-Dubois took over the building; it is Saskatoon's only francophone high school. Extensive renovations to the building were completed in 2008. Government and politics Nutana Park exists within the federal electoral district of Saskatoon—Grasswood. It is currently represented by Kevin Waugh of the Conservative Party of Canada, first elected in 2015. Provincially, Nutana Park is mostly within the boundaries of Saskatoon Eastview. It is currently represented by Matt Love of the Saskatchewan New Democratic Party, elected in 2020. A small portion of the neighborhood north-east of Louise Avenue is within the boundaries of Saskatoon Churchill-Wildwood. In Saskatoon's non-partisan municipal politics, Nutana Park lies within ward 7. It is currently represented by Councillor Mairin Loewen, who was elected to city council in a 2011 by-election. In June 2023, it was announced that after the completion of public consultation, Nutana Park would be moved from ward 7 to account for population variance among the 10 wards in the city. Institutions Education Prince Philip School - public elementary school, part of the Saskatoon Public School Division. L’École canadienne-française - francophone secondary school, located in the former St. James School. Other Saskatchewan Abilities Council - vocational, rehabilitation and recreational services for physically and mentally disabled persons. Located in the former Lorne Haselton School. Parks and recreation Harold Tatler Park North - Harold Tatler Park South - Both parks were named after Harold Tatler, a member of the city's Parks Board for many years, and credited with developing many of Saskatoon's boulevards and setting aside adequate park areas. The Nutana Park Community Association exists to coordinate recreational, sports, and social activities, encourage a sense of community and act as a liaison with the City on a number of issues affecting the neighbourhood. Commercial Commercial development is limited to a few small businesses on the corner of Drinkle Street and Estey Drive. In addition, there are 37 home-based businesses in the neighbourhood. Market Mall, a major indoor shopping centre, is located just outside the community boundaries across Preston Avenue, while additional "big box" and strip-mall commercial development has emerged off Preston in the Stonebridge community immediately to the south. Location Nutana Park is located within the Nutana Suburban Development Area. It is bounded by Adelaide Street to the north, Circle Drive to the south, Cumberland Avenue to the west, and Preston Avenue to the east. Roads are a mix of local and collector roads. Construction of an interchange at Preston and Circle, in the planning since the 1960s, was completed in the fall 2013.

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

Metalogic is the study of the metatheory of logic. Whereas logic studies how logical systems can be used to construct valid and sound arguments, metalogic studies the properties of logical systems. Logic concerns the truths that may be derived using a logical system; metalogic concerns the truths that may be derived about the languages and systems that are used to express truths. The basic objects of metalogical study are formal languages, formal systems, and their interpretations. The study of interpretation of formal systems is the branch of mathematical logic that is known as model theory, and the study of deductive systems is the branch that is known as proof theory. Overview Formal language A formal language is an organized set of symbols, the symbols of which precisely define it by shape and place. Such a language therefore can be defined without reference to the meanings of its expressions; it can exist before any interpretation is assigned to it—that is, before it has any meaning. First-order logic is expressed in some formal language. A formal grammar determines which symbols and sets of symbols are formulas in a formal language. A formal language can be formally defined as a set A of strings (finite sequences) on a fixed alphabet α. Some authors, including Rudolf Carnap, define the language as the ordered pair <α, A>. Carnap also requires that each element of α must occur in at least one string in A. Formation rules Formation rules (also called formal grammar) are a precise description of the well-formed formulas of a formal language. They are synonymous with the set of strings over the alphabet of the formal language that constitute well formed formulas. However, it does not describe their semantics (i.e. what they mean). Formal systems A formal system (also called a logical calculus, or a logical system) consists of a formal language together with a deductive apparatus (also called a deductive system). The deductive apparatus may consist of a set of transformation rules (also called inference rules) or a set of axioms, or have both. A formal system is used to derive one expression from one or more other expressions. A formal system can be formally defined as an ordered triple <α,,d>, where d is the relation of direct derivability. This relation is understood in a comprehensive sense such that the primitive sentences of the formal system are taken as directly derivable from the empty set of sentences. Direct derivability is a relation between a sentence and a finite, possibly empty set of sentences. Axioms are so chosen that every first place member of d is a member of and every second place member is a finite subset of . A formal system can also be defined with only the relation d. Thereby can be omitted and α in the definitions of interpreted formal language, and interpreted formal system. However, this method can be more difficult to understand and use. Formal proofs A formal proof is a sequence of well-formed formulas of a formal language, the last of which is a theorem of a formal system. The theorem is a syntactic consequence of all the well formed formulae that precede it in the proof system. For a well formed formula to qualify as part of a proof, it must result from applying a rule of the deductive apparatus of some formal system to the previous well formed formulae in the proof sequence. Interpretations An interpretation of a formal system is the assignment of meanings to the symbols and truth-values to the sentences of the formal system. The study of interpretations is called Formal semantics. Giving an interpretation is synonymous with constructing a model. Important distinctions Metalanguage–object language In metalogic, formal languages are sometimes called object languages. The language used to make statements about an object language is called a metalanguage. This distinction is a key difference between logic and metalogic. While logic deals with proofs in a formal system, expressed in some formal language, metalogic deals with proofs about a formal system which are expressed in a metalanguage about some object language. Syntax–semantics In metalogic, 'syntax' has to do with formal languages or formal systems without regard to any interpretation of them, whereas, 'semantics' has to do with interpretations of formal languages. The term 'syntactic' has a slightly wider scope than 'proof-theoretic', since it may be applied to properties of formal languages without any deductive systems, as well as to formal systems. 'Semantic' is synonymous with 'model-theoretic'. Use–mention In metalogic, the words 'use' and 'mention', in both their noun and verb forms, take on a technical sense in order to identify an important distinction. The use–mention distinction (sometimes referred to as the words-as-words distinction) is the distinction between using a word (or phrase) and mentioning it. Usually it is indicated that an expression is being mentioned rather than used by enclosing it in quotation marks, printing it in italics, or setting the expression by itself on a line. The enclosing in quotes of an expression gives us the name of an expression, for example: 'Metalogic' is the name of this article. This article is about metalogic. Type–token The type-token distinction is a distinction in metalogic, that separates an abstract concept from the objects which are particular instances of the concept. For example, the particular bicycle in your garage is a token of the type of thing known as "The bicycle." Whereas, the bicycle in your garage is in a particular place at a particular time, that is not true of "the bicycle" as used in the sentence: "The bicycle has become more popular recently." This distinction is used to clarify the meaning of symbols of formal languages. History Metalogical questions have been asked since the time of Aristotle. However, it was only with the rise of formal languages in the late 19th and early 20th century that investigations into the foundations of logic began to flourish. In 1904, David Hilbert observed that in investigating the foundations of mathematics that logical notions are presupposed, and therefore a simultaneous account of metalogical and metamathematical principles was required. Today, metalogic and metamathematics are largely synonymous with each other, and both have been substantially subsumed by mathematical logic in academia. A possible alternate, less mathematical model may be found in the writings of Charles Sanders Peirce and other semioticians. Results Results in metalogic consist of such things as formal proofs demonstrating the consistency, completeness, and decidability of particular formal systems. Major results in metalogic include: Proof of the uncountability of the power set of the natural numbers (Cantor's theorem 1891) Löwenheim–Skolem theorem (Leopold Löwenheim 1915 and Thoralf Skolem 1919) Proof of the consistency of truth-functional propositional logic (Emil Post 1920) Proof of the semantic completeness of truth-functional propositional logic (Paul Bernays 1918), (Emil Post 1920) Proof of the syntactic completeness of truth-functional propositional logic (Emil Post 1920) Proof of the decidability of truth-functional propositional logic (Emil Post 1920) Proof of the consistency of first-order monadic predicate logic (Leopold Löwenheim 1915) Proof of the semantic completeness of first-order monadic predicate logic (Leopold Löwenheim 1915) Proof of the decidability of first-order monadic predicate logic (Leopold Löwenheim 1915) Proof of the consistency of first-order predicate logic (David Hilbert and Wilhelm Ackermann 1928) Proof of the semantic completeness of first-order predicate logic (Gödel's completeness theorem 1930) Proof of the cut-elimination theorem for the sequent calculus (Gentzen's Hauptsatz 1934) Proof of the undecidability of first-order predicate logic (Church's theorem 1936) Gödel's first incompleteness theorem 1931 Gödel's second incompleteness theorem 1931 Tarski's undefinability theorem (Gödel and Tarski in the 1930s) See also Metalogic programming Metamathematics References External links Formal logic Metaphilosophy

Valerie Jeanne Wilkinson (9 May 1931 – 11 October 2005) was an English actress known as Jan Holden, using her mother's maiden name as a stage name. In theatre she was known for her performances in light comedy and appeared in several television series during the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. Early life Born in Southport, Lancashire, Jeanne Wilkinson, as she then was, spent her early childhood in India, where her father was a senior manager at the Swadeshi Cotton Mills in Kanpur. At the age of six, she and her twin brother Geoffrey were sent to schools in the hills near Simla. Getting there took a two-day train journey. The term lasted nine months, and there were three months at home during the cool season. The schools were not mixed, so she and her brother only met at church on Sundays. Holden was heartbroken when her twin brother drowned during the early 1960s. On the outbreak of the Second World War, Holden and her mother returned to Britain, where she became a boarder at Lowther College in North Wales. When the war ended, her mother returned to India while Jan stayed at her school and lived with school friends during the holidays. At the age of eighteen, she was offered places at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, the Old Vic School, and the Bristol Old Vic, but her father declined to pay the fees, as he disapproved of her ambition to go on the stage. Eventually, he was persuaded to allow her to take a directors' course at the Old Vic, where she was one of two pupils chosen as assistant stage managers. Career After the Old Vic, Holden turned to repertory, where she met her first husband, the actor Edwin Richfield. The couple married in 1952, while they were both appearing in a stage version of The Blue Lamp. Holden was an elegant actress, known for her arresting pale blue eyes. She made her West End debut in 1958 in Speaking of Murder at St Martin's Theatre, which was followed by The Tunnel of Love, a farce at the Apollo Theatre. Television Her television credits included Fabian of the Yard, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Presents, The Champions, The Vise, The Avengers, Bird of Prey, The Cheaters, The Saint, The Baron, Harpers West One, Are You Being Served?, Casanova '73, Agony and O Happy Band!. Personal life Holden's marriage to actor Edwin Richfield broke down in 1973, leaving her with three teenage children. In 1988, she married Louis Manson, a solicitor and businessman, but she was already in poor health and remained so during her final two decades. In 1999, one of her twin daughters died from a brain tumour, but she remained cheerful and courageous until her own death in 2005. She was survived by her husband, the son and remaining daughter of her first marriage, and two stepdaughters and four stepsons. Filmography Holden's film appearances included: The Hornet's Nest (1955) – Miss Wentworth I Am a Camera (1955) – Clive's party guest No Smoking (1955) – Receptionist Fire Maidens from Outer Space (1956) – Fire maiden Assignment Redhead (1956) – Sally Jennings Quatermass 2 (1957) – Young girl High Flight (1957) – Jackie The Whole Truth (1958) – Party guest The Camp on Blood Island (1958) – Nurse A Woman Possessed (1958) – Mary Passionate Summer (1958) – Air hostess Links of Justice (1958) – Elsie The Stranglers of Bombay (1959) – Mary Lewis Escort for Hire (1960) – Elizabeth Never Let Go (1960) – Mrs. Hurst The Primitives (1962) – Cheta Work Is a Four-Letter Word (1968) – Mrs. Price The Haunted House of Horror (1969) – Peggy The Best House in London (1969) – Lady Dilke One Brief Summer (1971) – Elizabeth Dominique (1978) – Ballard's secretary Notes External links 1931 births 2005 deaths English film actresses English stage actresses English television actresses People educated at Lowther College People from Southport People from Kanpur

L.A. Heat is an American action fiction television series starring Wolf Larson and Steven Williams as Los Angeles police detectives. The series aired on TNT for two seasons beginning March 15, 1999. Show history Produced by PM Entertainment, L.A. Heat began filming 1996, in areas that included Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, San Diego, Long Beach and Hollywood. But due to the fact the show didn't have the backing of a major network, it was not picked up for domestic distribution in the U.S. It was instead sold overseas where, in its second season, it accomplished the impossible: it took the #1 spot away from Baywatch in Germany. The show was also popular in Lebanon after being broadcast on Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation International, and was broadcast in other Arabic speaking countries. In France, the show was aired Monday through Friday at 6PM on M6 and reran several times since due to its popularity. The show's big budget car chases and explosions were in part sourced from scenes from feature films also produced by PM Entertainment. Due to financial troubles within PM Entertainment, production ended in 1998 after just two seasons. A year later, the show finally premiered in the U.S. when it was sold to the cable network TNT. All 48 episodes were shown Monday through Friday at 4PM for almost two years. Afterwards, airings became more and more sporadic, sometimes only a few times a week and in the early morning hours. When TNT's contract to run the show expired, it disappeared from the airwaves and has not been aired on television in the United States since. In 2000, plans to resurrect the show for a third season were underway but ultimately fell through when financing could not be secured. The show is (as of 2017) available on Amazon Prime Video for $2 per episode. Premise The show follows the action-packed adventures of two Los Angeles robbery/homicide detectives, Chase McDonald and August Brooks. The detectives are as different as night and day, but they work great together at keeping the streets of L.A. safe. Chase also makes extra money on the side by selling metal sculptures he makes himself, while August spends his free time running a youth center for underprivileged teens. Main characters Detective Chester "Chase" McDonald (Wolf Larson) has been with the Los Angeles Police Department for seven years. A risk-taker, McDonald likes to live on the edge and is passionate about his work. Though a born leader, he often needs the guidance of someone with his partner's experience to keep him out of trouble. In his free time he enjoys making metal sculptures. He's in a relationship with Jodi when the series starts, but after they broke up, he began dating a variety of women, but none of them ever worked out. Despite their initial resentments towards each other, he began dating Det. Nicole Stockman towards the end of the second season. Detective August Brooks (Steven Williams) is a seasoned veteran with sixteen years on the Los Angeles Police Department. In his youth, August was a promising boxer, a contender in every sense of the word, who always put his opponents down in the ring. But after discovering that his manager and promoter were embezzling funds from fellow boxers, and after he was forced to throw his first pro fight, August became disillusioned with the sport and left to join the police academy. Discovering he was a natural at police work, he quickly rose through the ranks of the LAPD to become a detective. He also runs the Hoover Street Youth Boxing Center in his spare time, an old gym he bought and converted into a recreation area for underprivileged children, providing an alternative to gang life. He also served in the Vietnam War. Kendra Brooks (Renee Tenison) is the love of August's life, and works at the recreation center. Like August, she is known by all the kids who frequent the place, and she helps them with their problems from time to time. She and August have been married for five years at the start of the series. Jodi Miller (Dawn Radenbaugh) is Chase's girlfriend. Having never been happy with Chase's job, she always expressed concern for his life and tried talking him into quitting many times to concentrate completely into his art. In episode "Killing on Lily Lane", she got a job offer to run an art gallery in Dallas, Texas and began pressuring him even more to quit and come with her. Chase refused to do so, insisting they could work things out, but ultimately, Jodi left without him. Captain Robert Jensen (Kenneth Tigar) is the high-tempered superior of Chase and August. Despite the aggravation they usually cause him, he still considers them his best detectives. Despite appearing frequently in all but a few episodes, Kenneth Tigar is never billed in the opening titles, only at the end of each episode's billing of guest stars. Recurring characters Arnold Cragmeyer (Christopher Boyer) is the head of the forensics lab and tends to always come through in helping Chase and August uncover clues and other useful information. He has a bachelor's degree is Forensic Science, and was previously a bomb squad commander in the premiere episode before requesting a transfer. Det. Sam Richardson (Clay Banks) is another detective who assists Chase and August from time to time. He's originally from New York, but transferred to Los Angeles sometime prior to the third episode. Chase was the first cop he met and he wasn't too impressed with him, but he eventually grew to like him. Det. Benny Lewis (Sugar Ray Leonard) was another detective who occasionally assisted Chase and August. He only appeared in the first, second, and fourth episodes before disappearing without explanation. Annie Mason (Jessica Cushman) is a forensics assistant who joined midway through the first season. Her father is a detective in Riverside, California. Dr. Judith Sands (Jessica Hopper) is the department's psychologist, whose assistance Chase and August sometimes require when dealing with the more crazed suspects. Her and Chase had a past relationship until he dumped her, claiming she was driving him crazy by always trying to get inside his head. She also had a somewhat successful (though short-lived) modeling career before becoming a psychologist. Dr. Samantha Morecroft (Debbie James) is the new head coroner at the start of the second season. She's straightforward and to-the-letter, and is constantly put off by Chase's sly comments and flirting. Det. Jack Lawson (Michael McFall) is a former D.E.A. agent who used his connection within the police department (his Aunt Grace, the police commissioner) to transfer to the department's robbery/homicide division. He thinks Chase is a little too on the reckless side, but ultimately comes to respect him. Det. Nicole Stockman (Sandra Ferguson / Jillian McWhirter) is a beautiful but tough San Francisco detective. She came to Los Angeles to deliver a witness to the LAPD. Initially finding herself in conflict with Chase and his methods, they eventually became friends over the phone and through weekend visits. At the end of the second season, she returned to Los Angeles to strike a deal with a crime boss in return for him testifying against Bobby Cole. Her and Chase were getting serious about her transferring to LA so she could move in with him, but she was killed in a hit ordered by Bobby Cole. Bobby Cole (Gary Hudson) was introduced early in the second season and became the show's only recurring adversary. Known as the "Teflon crime lord," he was a notorious criminal with everyone from politicians to police officers on his payroll and could never be connected to any of his crimes. Everybody in the city knew he was a vicious criminal who had committed dozens of crimes, but no one could prove it. After numerous confrontations, his organization was finally broken down, and Cole was shot and killed by Chase in the series finale. Other appearances Sam J. Jones made two guest appearances on the show: as a good guy in the first-season episode "Old Scores" and as a bad guy in the second-season episode "Legacy of A Buffalo Soldier." Angelo Tiffe made two appearances as August Brooks' former partner, Robert "The Falcon" Hatcher, in the episodes "The Falcon" and "Death House." Sarah Douglas made an appearance as police boss "Wilma" in the first-season episode "Electra".

Michel Pineda Ozaeta (born 9 June 1964) is a former professional footballer who played as a striker. He amassed La Liga totals of 201 matches and 49 goals over six seasons, representing in the competition Espanyol (five years) and Racing de Santander. Club career The son of Spanish immigrants, Pineda was born in Gien, France, and played mainly in the country of his parents during his career, with spells in his nation of birth with AJ Auxerre and Sporting Toulon Var, appearing rarely in Ligue 1 with the former club over two seasons. He returned to Spain in the 1984 off-season, signing for RCD Español and making his La Liga debut on 1 September against Atlético Madrid (0–0 home draw, 18 minutes played). In his third year he scored 13 league goals as the Catalans finished third – the league had a second stage, which caused all the teams to play 44 fixtures – netting a career-low with the club five in the 1988–89 campaign, which ended in relegation. Pineda then returned to France, but moved back to the Iberian Peninsula in January 1993 with Racing de Santander, scoring seven goals in only ten matches as the Cantabrian side returned to the top flight. He added the game's only in the promotion/relegation play-off against Español, in Barcelona. Pineda finished his career at the age of 32 after one season apiece with UE Lleida and Deportivo Alavés, both in Segunda División.
