Prince Henry's High School, formerly Prince Henry's Grammar School is an upper school with academy status in Evesham, Worcestershire, England. It is a co-educational high school, in which there are about 1,280 students enrolled, aged between 13 and 18. It is situated in the north of Evesham off the A4184, near the junction with the B4624, adjacent to the north of the railway, and serves the town of Evesham and surrounding villages. A 2013 Ofsted report accorded the school a Grade 1 (outstanding)

History
The school is over 600 years old  and was originally established as a school for the poor that was attached to Evesham's Benedictine Abbey. The original school was located by the side of what is now the road from Merstow Green to the High Street in Evesham. The present site of the school was established in the late 19th century and is about one kilometre approximately north-north-east of the original site. The school is named after Prince Henry, the elder brother of King Charles I: Prince Henry died at the age of 18 years and predeceased his father, thus never becoming king.

Dr Lewis Bayley had previously taught at and secured an endowment for the school from the town of Evesham through a new town charter, which identifies the school as a "Free Grammar School of Prince Henry in Evesham". As Prince Henry's Grammar School, the school had around 500 boys and girls. In the 1960s as a Grammar School before the establishment of the Middle Schools in the area, entry was directly from Primary School usually at age 11 yet sometimes, for a few pupils, at age 10, pupils being from Primary Schools both in Evesham itself, and also surrounding villages up to around ten miles away, and the nearby town of Pershore.

In 1973 it was renamed Prince Henry's High School, a comprehensive school. In 1993 it became a grant-maintained school then in 1999 it became a foundation school. It is now a secondary school with  the specialist designation of Language College. In 2010, plans were announced to change the school into an academy in  a move to improve funding, and provide more opportunities for the pupils in the school.

The crest of the school includes a modern continuing use of the coat of arms of Evesham Abbey. Evesham Abbey was dissolved in the sixteenth century.

The House System
When students join the school, they become a member of one of the five houses. In the days of the Grammar School new pupils were asked if any of their family were (previously or currently) at the school and if so, in which house. Where there was such a link, from, for example from a parent or a sibling, the new pupil was enrolled in that house. Those pupils who were not so linked were allocated to a house. These are, Burlingham, Deacle, Holland, Lichfield and Workman. House Points are awarded for good work and attitude to learning in the classroom.  They can also be awarded to a student who is going ‘above and beyond’ in an area of school life. Houses compete in different activities such as cooking, sport, music and board games.

Burlingham House
Richard Burlingham was educated at Prince Henry's Grammar School and started his career as a soldier, becoming an officer in the Worcestershire Regiment as a young man in the 1930s.  During the Second World War he worked for the Deputy Quartermaster General organising supplies for the troops and reached the rank of Lieutenant Colonel by the end of the war.

Lieutenant Colonel Burlingham was a governor of Prince Henry's High School for almost 50 years from 1949 until the late 1990s.  From 1963 he was the Chair of Governors for 25 years finally stepping down from the governing body in 1997/1998.  He also served on both Evesham Council and the County Council, becoming Chair of each.  He became an Alderman of Evesham and was later appointed Deputy Lord Lieutenant of the County.

Deacle House
John Deacle was born on 10 June 1660 in Bengeworth. He made his fortune in the woollen trade and became an Alderman of London. On his death in September 1709, John Deacle’s will left provision for £2,000 to be spent on building a charity school, with a further £300 per year for the ongoing running of that school. The new school, which became known as Deacle Charity Free School, was to offer 30 boys from the poorest of backgrounds of the parish the chance of an education, the right to which was normally only for the privileged few at this time.

The Deacle School was built in Port Street in 1729 and was only closed in 1905. The old school building still stands, and although it now has shop fronts obstructing the view, it can be found on the right-hand side as you head up Port Street from the Workman Bridge.

In 1906 the Deacle Charity Free School and Prince Henry's Grammar School merged under the control of Worcestershire County Council, and the Deacle School pupils joined the Prince Henry's students at Lanesfield on Greenhill.

Holland House
Revd Holland was a key figure in saving the school by working hard to raise funds as well as using his own money.  In 1879 Prince Henry's Grammar School was moved from Merstow Green to Lanesfield on Greenhill.

Lanesfield remained the location of the school until 1910, when the recently merged Prince Henry's Grammar School and Deacle School moved into new buildings at the school's current site on Victoria Avenue.

Lichfield House
Clement Lichfield became what was to be the last Abbot of Evesham Abbey in 1514. He was responsible for the final building works undertaken on the Abbey complex prior to its dissolution by Henry VIII, including the St Clements Chantry, off All Saints church. He also built a new school building in Merstow Green. The fact that the school was sited away from the main Abbey saved it when the majority of the complex was dismantled in 1540.

That school building (which continued in use as a school until 1879), together with the Bell Tower and Chantry Chapel (now known as the Lichfield Chapel) are the main significant surviving structures from Evesham Abbey which, at its peak, was the third largest Abbey Church in England.

Workman House
Henry Workman was Mayor of Evesham from 1851 to 1855 and built the Workman Bridge in 1856. The river below the site of the bridge was a maze of shallows and treacherous currents, so Henry Workman had it dredged into one channel and used the sediment from the river to create the Workman Gardens and public park.

He financially contributed to the school move from Merstow Green to its new site on Greenhill, which took place in 1879.

National Teaching School Status
In April 2014, Prince Henry's High School was selected by the National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) to become a national teaching school – an important role in raising standards.
Teaching Schools take a leading role in recruiting and training new entrants to the profession, identifying leadership potential and providing support for other schools.
Prince Henry's High School was one of only 200 schools in England to be granted teaching school status in the latest designation round.

Gene Anthony “Rocky” Morrison (born 1958) was a fraudulent forensic detective who operated over three decades in the Hyde area of Greater Manchester, England, under the title Dr. Gene Morrison.

Memorable for his trademark sheepskin jacket, during the course of his deception, he managed to trick not only members of the public, but also many judges, lawyers and the police themselves, into believing he was a genuine expert in forensic science.

Trial and imprisonment
Appearing in court, he insisted on being referred to as Doctor throughout the entire trial, and the jury were supposedly reduced to laughter on many occasions throughout the proceedings. Morrison pleaded guilty to two charges and was found guilty on 20 of the remaining 23; he was sentenced to five years imprisonment, with police suggesting that Morrison may attempt to revive his forensic services upon release.

A video documentary was made about Morrison. Entitled Crime Scene Conman, it was first shown on BBC1 on 25 March 2008.

Sex offences
On 15 October 2009, Morrison was convicted of thirteen child sex offences (three counts of rape, six counts of indecent assault, four counts of engaging in sexual activity with a child) and one count of perverting the course of justice committed between the 1970s and 2007, with 19 other charges taken into consideration.

He was sentenced to an indeterminate term of imprisonment with a minimum of seven-and-a-half years, to be served cumulatively with the five-year sentence. Morrison will be eligible for parole in 2017.

A snap election was held in Italy on 13–14 April 2008. The election came after President Giorgio Napolitano dissolved the Italian Parliament on 6 February 2008, following the defeat of the government of Prime Minister Romano Prodi in a January 2008 Senate vote of confidence and the unsuccessful tentative appointment of Franco Marini with the aim to change the current electoral law. Under Italian law, elections must be held within 70 days of the dissolution. The voting determined the leader of Italy's 62nd government since the end of World War II. The coalition led by ex-Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi from The People of Freedom party defeated that of former Mayor of Rome, Walter Veltroni of the Democratic Party.

Background

On 24 January 2008 Prime Minister of Italy Romano Prodi lost a vote of confidence in the Senate by a vote of 161 to 156 votes, causing the downfall of his government. Prodi's resignation led President Giorgio Napolitano to request the president of the Senate, Franco Marini, to assess the possibility to form a caretaker government. The other possibility would have been to call for early elections immediately.

The decision of former Minister of Justice Mastella arrived a few days after the confirmation of the Constitutional Court which confirmed the referendum to modify the electoral system. As stated many times by Minister Mastella, if the referendum would have been confirmed this would have led directly to the fall of the government
and it happened. The fall of the government would disrupt a pending election-law referendum that if passed would make it harder for small parties like Mastella's to gain seats in parliament.

UDEUR's defection forced the question of whether Prodi still had the parliamentarian support to govern. Presenting a motion of confidence to parliament, he won relatively easily in the lower house of the Italian Parliament, the Chamber of Deputies, where the coalition's majority was substantial. Yet a win in the upper house – or Senate – seemed unlikely, and President Giorgio Napolitano was said to have warned against going through with the vote.

The vote, held between 3pm and 9pm (CET), was heated and dramatic. During its course the UDEUR party Senator Stefano Cusumano decided to confirm the confidence and to support the prime minister, even against the orders of his party's leader. He was subsequently subjected to the abuse of his colleagues, being called an "hysteric faggot", "traitor", and reportedly spat on by a member of the conservative UDEUR party. At this point Cusumano apparently fainted, and was carried out on a stretcher. Cusumano's defection had no effect, however: Prodi lost the vote with 161 to 156 votes (one member abstained from voting, while three were absent), and promptly handed in his resignation.

On 30 January, Napolitano appointed Franco Marini to try to form a caretaker government with the goal of changing the current electoral system, rather than call a quick election. The state of the electoral system had been under criticism not only within the outgoing government, but also among the opposition and in the general population, because of the impossibility to choose candidates directly and of the risks that a close-call election may not grant a stable majority in the Senate.

On 4 February 2008 Marini acknowledged that he had failed to find the necessary majority for an interim government, and resigned his mandate, after having met with all major political forces and having found opposition to forming an interim government mainly from center-right parties Forza Italia and National Alliance, favoured in a possible next election and strongly in favour of an early vote.,

President Napolitano summoned Bertinotti and Marini, the two speakers of the houses of the Italian parliament, acknowledging the end of the legislature, on 5 February 2008. He dissolved parliament on 6 February 2008.

Campaign
Major competitors in the election were Silvio Berlusconi, as leader of the centre-right opposition coalition, and Walter Veltroni, leader of the Democratic Party. Berlusconi's right coalition was leading by a significant margin in opinion polls. The 71-year-old Berlusconi, who was twice prime minister—from May 1994 to January 1995 and again from May 2001 to May 2006—was not considered too old for the job though he had had heart surgery since leaving office.

Veltroni's campaign has been compared to Barack Obama's presidential run in the United States. The most apparent of the similarities is his slogan, "Si può fare" (literally, "it can be done").

Following the calling of the election, Veltroni stated his party will not make any alliance in either Chamber, choosing instead to run alone with its own platform, and challenged Berlusconi to do likewise with his Forza Italia party. The main four left-wing parties not part of the PD decided to contest the election together under the banner of The Left – The Rainbow. On 8 February, Berlusconi announced Forza Italia and Gianfranco Fini's National Alliance will run together under the common symbol of The People of Freedom, being regionally allied with the Northern League.

On 13 February, Veltroni announced to have reached an agreement with the Italy of Values, led by Antonio Di Pietro, which agreed for an electoral alliance with the Democratic Party, accepting also to join the Democratic Party parliamentary groups after the election. On 21 February the Italian Radicals announced an agreement with the Democratic Party, accepting to present themselves in list with the latter, under the agreement they will have nine MPs elected in the Parliament, and appointment of Emma Bonino as Minister in case of victory.

Though Berlusconi and Veltroni were in opposite parties, they allegedly represent such similar policies that they were dubbed "Veltrusconi". Both candidates supported big tax cuts and generous spending programs.

The Union of Christian and Centre Democrats was invited to support Berlusconi, but refused and decided to run on its own instead. The Rose for Italy originally planned to run alone with Bruno Tabacci as their PM candidate, but shortly before the filing deadline, they decided to form joint lists with the UDC.

Electoral system
The electoral system had been last reformed by Law no. 270, 21 December 2005.

Chamber of Deputies
For the election of the lower house, all seats in the Chamber of Deputies (excluding one deputy for the region of Aosta Valley and twelve deputies for Italians residing abroad) are allocated based on the national vote in a form of party-list proportional representation with a series of thresholds to encourage parties to form coalitions. Voters cast one vote for a closed list, meaning they cannot express a preference for individual candidates.

Parties can choose to run in coalitions. Seats are first allocated based on coalition votes, then divided among parties belonging to the same coalition by the largest remainder method. To guarantee a working majority, the coalition or party that obtains a plurality of the vote, but fewer than 340 seats, is assigned additional seats to reach that number, which is roughly 54% of all seats.

The autonomous region of Aosta Valley elects one deputy through a first-past-the-post system. Italians abroad are divided into four constituencies, which elect a total of twelve seats based on proportional representation.

Senate

For the election of the upper house, a similar system is used. However, the results are based on regional, rather than national, vote. This means the coalition or party that wins a plurality of votes in each region is guaranteed a majority of the seats assigned to that region. As this mechanism is region-based, opposing parties or coalitions may benefit from the majority bonus in different regions. It therefore does not guarantee any party or coalition a majority in the Senate.

Three regions have exceptions to the system detailed above. In the region of Molise, that is granted two seats in the Senate, seats are allocated proportionally, with no majority bonus. The region of Aosta Valley, which elects one senator, uses a first-past-the-post system. Finally, the region of Trentino-South Tyrol elects seven senators with a mixed-member proportional system: six senators are elected in six single-member constituencies, while the seventh is allocated to the most underrepresented list based on the regional votes.

Six seats in the Senate are assigned to Italians living abroad and are allocated using the same system used for the Chamber of Deputies.

Aosta Valley
The autonomous region of Aosta Valley, in northwestern Italy, elects one member to the Chamber of Deputies through a direct first-past-the-post election. Some parties that formed electoral coalitions in Italy, might have opted to run against one another (or form different coalitions) in this particular region.

Overseas constituencies
Twelve members of the Chamber of Deputies are elected by Italians abroad. Two members are elected for North America and Central America (including most of the Caribbean), three members for South America (including Trinidad and Tobago), six members for Europe, and one member for the rest of the world (Africa, Asia, Oceania, and Antarctica). Voters in these regions select candidate lists and may also cast a preference vote for individual candidates. The seats are allocated by proportional representation.

The electoral law allows for parties to form different coalitions on the lists abroad, compared to the lists in Italy.

Bennetts Hill is a street in the Core area of Birmingham City Centre, United Kingdom. It runs from New Street, uphill to Colmore Row, crossing Waterloo Street in the process. It is within the Colmore Row conservation area.

History

Bennetts Hill was created as part of the 19th-century Inge estate development. 11 Bennetts Hill (now demolished) was the birthplace of the artist Edward Burne-Jones in 1833, a fact commemorated by a Birmingham Civic Society blue plaque on the site.

The neighbouring house, 10 Bennetts Hill, was occupied by David Barnett and Samuel Neustadt, both Jewish jewellery merchants. As a child Edward Burne-Jones played with their children, shared entertainments, and even took part in Jewish festivals. For the Purim festival, he arrived early and wore disguises as the other children did.

John Pemberton, who developed the Priory Estate (including Old Square) in the early 18th century, also lived on Bennetts Hill.

Architecture
Bennetts Hill has buildings in a mix of architectural styes, many of which were constructed in the 20th century, although some 19th-century structures remain. The crossroads with Waterloo Street has fine Victorian and Edwardian buildings on each corner, a "unique survival" in Birmingham.

Southern section
West side
No. 13 is a stucco-fronted building constructed in 1823 and thought to have been designed by Charles Edge.
Nos. 11–12 were demolished to make way for the Scottish Widows Building, which was constructed between 1930 and 1931. It was designed by E. C. Bewlay.
Nos. 9-10, the Sun Building, designed by S. N. Cooke with a sun emblem and lettering by William Bloye and constructed between 1927 and 1928.

East side
No. 21 was constructed by Horton's Estate between 1933 and 1934 and was designed by W. S. Clements.
Nos. 23–24 were designed by E. Bower Norris in 1961 in the Neo-Georgian style.
No. 25 is a Riley & Smith design, built in 1926 and 1927 for the Commercial Union Assurance.

Junction with Waterloo Street

South-west corner
No. 8 Bennetts Hill/11–12 Waterloo Street: the former National Provincial Bank of England; now the "Lost & Found" bar and restaurant. A Grade II* listed building, built in 1869–70 to designs by John Gibson (with porch dome and sculptures and a roof-top early coat of arms of Birmingham by S. F. Lynn).

South-east corner

The former Birmingham Banking Company building; later Midland Bank; now the "Cosy Club". Built in 1830–31 to neoclassical designs by Thomas Rickman and Henry Hutchinson; with additions, notably the rounded corner linking the two porticoes, supplied by Yeoville Thomason in 1877. An extension at no. 33 Bennetts Hill was designed by Harris & Martin in 1881–4.

North-west corner
A block in French Renaissance style, built in c.1872 for the Inland Revenue. Now "Viva Brazil" restaurant.

North-east corner
The former Parr's Bank, built in 1904 to designs by Cossins, Peacock & Bewlay; with later additions.

Northern section
West side
Nos. 6 and 7–10 feature windows in recessed panels, typical of Charles Edge, although it is unknown if he was the architect. The shop frontages survived the Waterloo Court development in 1976, although the structures behind them were demolished.

East side
Nos. 37–38 are two office buildings of around 1860, standing on part of the grounds of the demolished Bennetts Hill House. No. 37 is believed to be the work of Edward Holmes.

Namilyango College is a boys-only boarding middle and high school located in Mukono District in the Central Region of Uganda, whose history and excellence in sports and academics have made it one of the most prestigious schools in Uganda. It is Uganda's oldest secondary school, founded in 1902 by the Catholic Mill Hill Fathers.

Location
The school campus is situated on Namilyango Hill, approximately , by road, southwest of Mukono Town, the district headquarters, and about , by road, south of the township of Seeta, the nearest trading center. The college lies approximately , by road, east of Kampala, Uganda's capital and largest city. The coordinates of Namilyango College are:0°20'19.0"N, 32°43'02.0"E (Latitude:0.338611; Longitude:32.717222).

History
The school was founded in March 1902 by the Mill Hill Fathers, a London-based Catholic missionary society, to educate the sons of Catholic chiefs. At the time, the Mill Hill Missionaries approach to education for locals was guided by their objective of training local catechists and, eventually, local priests. The first students at Namilyango were being trained to become, first and foremost, catechists; those who were considered unfit for that vocation would be sent away or, if they were of good character, educated further so they could be taken on as clerks in the colonial government.

Reputation
Namilyango College is one of the most prestigious schools in Uganda, owing to its history, influence, excellent academic performance and dominance in sports. It is the oldest secondary school and the first college in Uganda, and for long was the best school in boxing until the sport was stopped in the school in the early 1990s. Rugby is the biggest sport in the College. Namilyango has won the national schools' rugby title more than any other school, and has sent numerous players to the national team. Namilyango College was a pioneer in Information Technology in Ugandan schools, building one of the first computer labs.

Rivalries
Over the years a tradition of Namilyango College has been the rivalries with fellow prestigious schools, in Academics, Sports and socialising. The rivals have included, in decreasing order of rivalry: St. Mary's College Kisubi, King's College Budo and Busoga College Mwiri. In recent times the bad blood has been with Budo and SMACK (Kisubi) for the Rugby honours, as Namilyango has won five schools' championships in the last eight years - including the 2012 Championship, compared to one, each, for their rivals. On the other hand, the school has maintained cordial relations with schools like: Gayaza High School, Mount Saint Mary's College Namagunga and Trinity College Nabbingo.

Houses of residence

The college has eleven residential houses and a hostel. The "O" Level students reside in the residential houses while the "A" Level students reside in Minderop Hostel, named after Father James Minderop, the first headmaster of the college. The eleven residential houses are:

 Biermans House - Named after Bishop John Biermans (MHM), Vicariate Apostolic of Upper Nile 1912 - 1924
 Billington House - Named after Bishop Vincent Billington (MHM) (1904 - 1976), Bishop of Kampala 1953 - 1965
 Campling House - Named after Bishop John William Campling (MHM), Vicariate Apostolic of Upper Nile 1925 - 1937
 Doyle House - Named after Rev. Fr. Captain Bernard Doyle (MHM), the longest serving Headmaster (19 years) of the College
 Hanlon House - "House of Lords", named after Bishop Henry Hanlon (MHM) 1862 - 1937, Vicar Apostolic of Upper Nile 1894 - 1911
 Kiwanuka House - Named after Archbishop Joseph Kiwanuka, the first native African to be appointed Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Church in East Africa

John Christopher Bartholomew (or J.C. Bartholomew) (15 January 1923 – 16 January 2008) was a Scottish cartographer and geographer.

Life

Bartholomew was the son of Marie Antoinette Sarolea, daughter of Charles Saroléa and John (Ian) Bartholomew (1890–1962). He was the great-great-grandson of the founder of John Bartholomew and Son Ltd.

He studied at Edinburgh Academy and Gordonstoun before taking a degree in geography at the University of Edinburgh.

He took over directorship of John Bartholomew & Co. from his father in 1951. At this stage Peter Bartholomew (1924-1987) was chairman and Robert Bartholomew (b.1927) was production manager. The company's most memorable production during their control was the Times Atlas (five volumes but also available in a 'concise' version). It also published the first metric versions of the large scale Ordnance Survey maps of the UK, aimed at hikers and travellers.

Bartholomew served as president of the British Cartographic Society in 1970–71. He was also a vice-president of the International Cartographic Association, 1972–80, and from 1987 to 1993, he was president of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society. He was active on the committee of the Scottish Rights of Way Society (now ScotWays), and was made its honorary president.

On his death he left monies to pay for view indicators on the summits of both Berwick Law and the Braid Hills.

He is buried against the north wall of the 20th-century extension to Dean Cemetery in western Edinburgh at the memorial to his grandfather, John George Bartholomew. His father Ian, and uncle Hugh lie with him.

Family

He married Ginette Achard-James. They had five sons: John Eric, Philip, Christopher, Patrick and Ivon.

Tensiomyography (TMG) is a measuring method for detection of skeletal muscles' contractile properties. Tensiomyography assesses muscle mechanical response based on radial muscle belly displacement induced by a single electrical stimulus. It is performed using the TMG S2 system. A tensiomyography measurement instrument includes an electrical stimulator and data acquisition subunit (1), a digital sensor (2), a tripod with manipulating hand (3), and muscle electrodes (4) that work with an essential software interface installed on a PC.

Method

Tensiomyography is a non-invasive, evidence-based measurement method that precisely measures the speed of muscle contraction under isometric conditions. It is used in sports performance and rehabilitation, and in sports medicine and research, for instance. Tensiomyography data can be used to determine muscle fiber type (e.g., by comparing displacement signal and muscle histochemistry/ heavy chain myosin amount20) and muscle status/condition (e.g.,fatigue, potentiation, inhibition, stress influence on the body, etc.), to diagnose functional muscular symmetry, either temporal or morphological, to evaluate muscular synchronization, and for fast detection (less than 5 minutes) of infra-clinical lesions in the muscles.

Procedure

A tensiomyography measurement consists of four steps:
 A special sensor is placed on the muscle to be measured. The sensor contains a tip designed to register muscle's contraction.
 Muscle contraction is induced with twitch type (one millisecond) of surface electrical stimulus.
 Contraction of muscle under isometric conditions results in a muscle belly displacement.
 A tensiomyography sensor is connected to a computer running specially designed software that records displacement of sensor tip during the test and shows results on software interface in real time.

Tensiomyography recording

Tensiomyography specific software on a 1 kHz frequency receives tensiomyography signals. Two supra-maximal responses are stored and then the average is calculated. The supra-maximal stimulation is regarded as corresponding to a minimal stimulation and it determines maximum amplitude of muscular deformation, recorded as Dm.

TMG method output is a displacement-time signal evaluated with standard parameters.

Parameters

 Delay time (Td) as a time between the electrical impulse and 10% of the contraction;
 Contraction time (Tc) as a time between 10% and 90% of the contraction;
 Sustain time (Ts) as a time between 50% of the contraction and 50% of the relaxation;
 Relaxation time (Tr) as a time between 90% and 50% of the relaxation;
 Maximal Displacement (Dm) Maximal displacement of the muscle contraction.

Some recent studies have also elected to examine Contraction velocity (Vc) as a change in Dm over time between 10% and 90% of the contraction.

Tensiomyography use

Tensiomyography is a simple to use selective and non-invasive method for detecting skeletal muscle contractile parameters using the linear displacement sensor. It assesses skeletal muscle thickening and low frequency lateral oscillations of active skeletal muscle fibers during twitch contractions. Future directions should be multidimensional: further validation especially with muscle force; increasing the research power of established theories; determining the trends of physiological processes and adaptations through longitudinal designs; characterizing muscle fatigue, and developing its application in dynamic muscle contractions.
Tensiomyography was originally designed to be used by medical professionals but has transitioned from medicine, through sports medicine and is now being utilized in sports training programs and post injury rehabilitation quantification. Because of its non-invasive nature, tensiomyography provides rapid accurate diagnostic data without discomfort or disruption of the routine of the person whose muscles are being assessed.

Tensiomyography was originally designed for optimization of rehabilitation processes in medicine. Moving on, tensiomyography is used in military, veterinary and most widely spread in the field of elite sports, especially where explosiveness is needed.

Sports Performance

Tensiomyography can be applied in training optimization process to prevent negative effects of muscle asymmetry and asynchrony on athletes’ maximal speed, explosiveness, endurance and flexibility. Application of tensiomyography method identifies muscle pair asymmetry and asynchronous action in the kinetic chain, which decreases movement economy and increase injury risk. Tensiomyographic assessment identifies muscle dysfunctions to adjust training accordingly (activate, strengthen or release tension in specific muscles). The contractile characteristics of athletes' muscles from specific sports disciplines have been defined using tensiomyography, despite the fact that very few sports have been thoroughly researched.

Sports Medicine

After an injury, tensiomyography can be used to determine injured muscle’s functional capacity by measuring individual muscle heads in isolation, providing unique and selective information. Data comparison with the uninjured contralateral muscle helps monitor early phase recovery. Measurement results help determine recovery of functional capacity so the most effective rehabilitation can be safely administered. During rehabilitation athletes can be assessed with tensiomyography for progress and rehabilitation strategy can be adjusted for faster rehabilitation.

Research

Since its first scientific publication in 1990 more than 280 articles show tensiomyography use and purpose: in the estimation of muscle composition; for evaluating muscle atrophy; for measuring adaptation to different pathologies; for measuring adaptation to specific training; and for measuring muscle fatigue.

Tensiomyography has been used in several research areas including acute muscle diagnostics, chronic muscle change diagnostics, local muscle fatigue and non-invasive determination of muscle fiber type composition.

International Society of Tensiomyography (ISOT)

ISOT strives to support further development in the field of tensiomyography and standardize tensiomyographic methods while connecting tensiomyography users worldwide for know-how exchange and networking. ISOT was formed at a congress held in Rome on 24 October 2014.

History

The tensiomyography method was developed by a group of experts from various fields at the Faculty for Electrical Engineering at the University of Ljubljana. The Rehabilitation Institute in Ljubljana, Valdoltra Orthopedic Hospital and Slovenian Olympic Committee were among several other institutions that cooperated and were the method's early users and implementers.

The inventor of the method, Vojko Valenčič, was a leading researcher and head of Laboratory for Biomedical Imaging and Muscle Biomechanics. He had a close working relationship with the Department of Electronics at the University of Ljubljana, which provided human and technical resources and was aided in his work by three research assistants.
The tensiomyography method was invented in the late 1980s and has since been improved through many prototypes and developed to the stage where clinical application of the method was possible. Although tensiomyography was initially intended for medical use, the method was also introduced into sports medicine and athletic training in 1996. In recent years, the development and application of the method has shifted more towards sports in cooperation with Srdjan Djordjevič, a biologist, applied physiologist and the founder of the company TMG-BMC Ltd.

Jean-André Cuoq (1821–1898) was a Roman Catholic priest and a philologist in the Algonquin and Mohawk languages.

Early life
Jean-André Cuoq was born on June 6, 1821, to Jean-Pierre Cuoq and Rosalie Desholme, in Le Puy-en-Velay, France. He entered the Company of Saint-Sulpice in Paris in 1844. He was ordained as a priest in the Order of Saint-Sulpice in December 1845. He was sent to Quebec, Canada, on November 29, 1846. He was then sent to the mission of the Lac des Deux-Montagnes (Oka, Quebec) in 1847 as a missionary to the Nipissings.

Later life
Cuoq remained in Oka for many years as a companion of Fr. Nicolas Dufresne (1789–1863), who was the director of that mission and missionary to the Mohawks. Cuoq at first studied Nipissing, but after Fr. Dufresne was withdrawn from the mission in 1857 and sent to a seminary in Montreal, Cuoq applied himself in studying the Mohawk language. In 1864, Cuoq was sent to Collège de Montréal, where he was charged with a class, remaining there two to three years, until he returned to Lac des Deux-Montagnes, where he remained until 1875. He was then attached to the parochial church of Notre Dame at Montreal, remaining there several years until he returned to the Lac des Deux-Montagnes about 1885. Due to his missionary work he was named by the Algonquins (Nipissings) , meaning "double beautiful leaf" or "second Bellefeuille", and by the Iroquois (Mohawks) , meaning "fixed star," probably because of the immobility of his left eye which had been damaged by an accident in his youth. His numerous works, all published in Montreal, gained him admission to many scientific societies of Europe and America. Cuoq died in Oka, Quebec, 1898. The former Cuoq Township of Bas-Saint-Laurent, now part of Matane Regional County Municipality, Quebec, was named in his honour.

"Rid of You" is the tenth single by Natalia. The song was meant to be the first single of her third album, but a few weeks after she recorded this song her voice "crashed". As a result, the recordings of the new album couldn't take place and Rid of You couldn't get any promotion. The song still reached number 14 without any promotion or a music video.

was the third single by the Japanese band The Blue Hearts. It was released on November 21, 1987, the same time that the band's second album, Young and Pretty, was released. Lyrics and music were written by Hiroto Kōmoto, the band's lead vocalist, and was arranged by The Blue Hearts. The single is 9m17s in length.

The B-side of the single is , a blues rock song written and sung by Masatoshi Mashima, the band's guitarist.

Original recording
The falsetto at the beginning of the song was done by Junnosuke Kawaguchi, the band's bassist. Though he generally speaks with a low voice, he sings in falsetto for a number of songs.

"Chain Gang" was originally planned to be on their debut album, but was shelved due to concern with the lyrics, particularly the line about killing Christ.

Kiwiburn is a regional Burning Man event celebrating principles such as inclusion, radical self-expression, gifting, participative art and culture.

History
In 1994, Mark ‘Yonderman’ Stirling and his partner Jane discovered Burning Man by accident while on a camping trip in the Black Rock Desert, Nevada. Mark decided to stage the first regional burn in New Zealand in late 2003 as part of the South Island's Visionz festival. It was met with great enthusiasm from the participants, so the 2005 and 2006 burns took place as stand-alone events, attracting around 200 people (Mark co-ran these events with Grant ‘Tribalman’ Knowles, a friend and local drum-maker/festival organizer).

2007 marked the first year the festival was held in the North Island. In mid-2006, amidst the planning for the 2007 event, a group of highly enthused, motivated burners joined with Yonderman to form an organizational structure and bring the event north. The event was aptly named Megamorphosis, which means Massive Change. Kiwiburn has helped create a large community of burners around New Zealand, and the annual event, along with the occasional localized gatherings, continue to maintain its unique culture.

Kiwiburn celebrated its 10-year anniversary in 2013 with the theme enlighTENment!

After seven burns in Whakamaru Doman, Mangakino, Kiwiburn moved to a private farm in Hunterville in 2014. It was a huge undertaking to find a new site, close to a town and away from roads, where the locals immediately embraced the festival's culture.

The event is now held annually at the end of January.

Past events

Kiwiburn did not run in 2019 due to difficulty obtaining resource consent.

Themes
Each year's event is centered around an Art Theme, selected from community submissions.

Culture

As a Regional Burning Man Event, Kiwiburn adheres to the ten principles of Burning Man.  Among these are the Leave No Trace philosophy, radical self-expression, radical self-reliance, and communal effort.

Theme Camps are one of the key components of vibrant regional Burning Man events.  Theme Camps are established by participants to enhance the experience for all participants. Theme Camps often put on events during Kiwiburn so that participants get to know each other and encourage each other to get more involved .

Notable, recurrent theme camps include "The Hangout", "Where did all our couches go?", "funkhutt", "The Flojo", "Pillowtopia", "DanceAlot", "Chur", "Taradise", "Swing Fling", and "Camp F*ck Yeah".

The theme for 2022 will be Time Travel.

Syed Abdul Latif Kazmi, often referred to as Barī Imām or Barī Sarkār (1617 – 1705), was a 17th-century Sufi ascetic from Punjab. He is venerated as the patron saint of Islamabad, Pakistan. Born in Karsal, Chakwal District to a Sayyid family, he was one of the most prominent Sufi of the Sunni school of thought. Today, he is one of the most popular and widely venerated saints of Punjab.

The life of Bari Imam is known essentially through oral tradition and hagiographical booklets and celebrated in Qawwali songs of Indian and Pakistani Sufism.

Biography
Bari Imam was eight years old when his family migrated from Karsal in Chakwal District to what is now Aabpara, Islamabad in Pakistan. Additionally, Syed Kasran in the Tehsil of Gujjar Khan is considered to be his Birthplace. His father, Syed Mehmood Shah, was a farmer. So he helped his father with farming and with his herd of animals until he was 12 years old. Then Bari Imam was sent to Ghorghushti in Campbellpur (now known as Attock, Punjab, Pakistan) where he stayed for two years to learn fiqh, hadith, logic, and other disciplines related to Islam, because at that time Ghorghushti was a renowned seat of Islamic learning.

According to some sources, he later married and had one daughter, though both his wife and daughter are said to have died prematurely. After their passing, Bari Imam began wandering the forests of the Hazara district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where he spent twenty-four years as an ascetic.

Shah Abdul Latif also went to Central Asian states of that period and to the Islamic holy cities of Mecca and Madinah to learn about Islam and perform hajj.

After his return to the Indian subcontinent, he then decided to settle in the Noorpur Shahan area (now Noorpur Shahan in Islamabad). At that time, this area was known to be a dangerous place (locally known as Chorpur (place of thieves) due to its reputation as full of bandits and killers who used to attack and rob trade caravans passing through this area headed towards Central Asian countries. Over time, he succeeded in teaching these people about love, peace and harmony. Later Shah Abdul Latif came to be known as "Bari Imam".

Because Bari Imam Sarkar did not transmit any of his doctrines to writing; as such, it may be rightly presumed that he bequeathed all of his teachings orally.

Bari Imam was renowned in his own life for being an ascetic who subjected himself to great self-humiliation in the public sphere, "living among the pariahs and consciously exposing himself to the disdain of the people."

A celebrated miracle worker, Bari Imam is also described in regional lore as one through whom God performed many marvels to convince the local people of the truth of Islam; thus, some of the most popular miracles ascribed to him are his having caused water to gush forth from rocks and his having brought back to life the dead water buffaloes of a peasant who had earlier provided the saint with milk during his ten years of spiritual seclusion.

Shrine

A silver-mirrored shrine of Bari Imam is located in Noorpur Shahan in Islamabad. It was originally built by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, who revered Bari Sarkar, in the 17th century. It has since been renovated many times, and is now maintained by the Government of Pakistan. Until the 1960s, the shrine was famous for its urs celebration, when the death anniversary of the saint was commemorated and which was attended by hundreds of thousands of people each year (in one particularly populous year, the attendance is said to have been 1.2 million people).

On 27 May 2005, a suicide attack took place at the shrine of Imam Bari in which 20 people died and almost 70 were injured.

The Tumblagooda Sandstone is a geological formation deposited during the Silurian or Ordovician periods, between four and five hundred million years ago, and is now exposed on the west coast of Australia in river and coastal gorges near the tourist town of Kalbarri, Kalbarri National Park and the Murchison River gorge, straddling the boundary of the Carnarvon and Perth basins.  Visible trackways are interpreted by some to be the earliest evidence of fully terrestrial animals.

Sedimentology
The Tumblagooda ranges between  in thickness. The base of the formation is not exposed, but geophysical data (primarily magnetic) indicate the sandstone unconformably overlies a Proterozoic basement. The formation is divided into four facies associations (FAs), numbered stratigraphically, that occur sequentially from bottom to top.  These lithified sediments portray an environment dominated by high-energy braided streams flowing into the sea;  some parts have been interpreted as reflecting deposition in ephemeral pools controlled by water table rise and fall, but alternative interpretations favour deposition on tidal sand flats.

Facies association 1
The lowest facies association in the unit is dominated by trough cross-stratification, deposited by broad, high-energy braided rivers, which formed the outwash plain of an alluvial system.  Trace fossils are virtually absent, because the high depositional energy meant burrowing organisms could not survive. The downslope flow was to the north west.

Facies association 2
These facies reflect a quieter, more distal environment; the unit is occasionally interrupted by lenses of FA1 sediments.  There are two published interpretation of the depositional setting of these facies: they were initially interpreted as tidal sand-flat deposits, an interpretation still followed, but subsequently as continental eolian deposits.  The second interpretation is described below. Beds are on the whole thin, planar and well sorted.  Beds about  thick form  units of "bedded sandsheets"—layers of sand blown by the wind—which form a characteristic lithology of this facies. Eolian indicators such as adhesion surfaces and warts are widespread, but may simply indicate regular emergence in an intertidal setting rather than support for eolian deposition and dunes.

Low angle (<20°), cross-stratified sandstones form units up to  thick, rarely reaching thicknesses as much as .  The current directions  here are to the southeast - up slope - and was considered to reinforce their interpretation as aeolian dunes. They are alternatively interpreted as superficial bars and channel deposits on lower and middle intertidal zones, a far less controversial interpretation given their intimate association with intensely bioturbated rocks.
FA2 also contains a dense, varied trace fossil assemblage, taken by some as indicative of a tidal, marine-influenced setting, given the Tumblagooda Sandstone clearly predates the widespread development of land plants. Current and wave ripple marks are also widespread, which may have formed on tidal flats as water depths varied, or perhaps in shallow streams, with flooded hollows hosting the creators of the trace fossils.
Cyclicity is poorly shown or absent, suggesting that, rather than being seasonal events, the occasional inundation was based on unpredictable events such as storms, a varying water table, and changing stream courses.

Facies association 3
This facies is much like FA1, with an increased supply of clastic material represented in the sedimentary record by coarse-grained, poorly sorted, upwards-fining (i.e. largest grains at the bottom of the unit, becoming progressively finer towards the top), pebbly trough cross-bedded units up to four metres thick.  Trace fossils are rare, other than near the top of the association, and consist of sinuous trails and short vertical burrows.  Sheet-like braided rivers are inferred as the dominant control on sedimentation in these facies.

Facies association 4
The uppermost facies association appears to reflect an environment on the fringes of the sea.  Fining-up is observed on  to  scales, with trough cross bedding at the bases of units overlain by current ripples.  Fine sandstones and green shales are also present.  The upper units are strongly bioturbated, with an abundance of vertical burrow such as Skolithos - a fossil typically found in marine environments.

It has been interpreted as an inter-distributary bay, or alternatively as a sandy coastline featuring wave-generated bars, perhaps with tidal influence; braided fluvial streams often reworked the sediments. In either case, it is clearly fluvial-dominated deposition in a coastal setting, and may simply be a distal equivalent of FA3, where there was a siltier, slightly more marine, background setting with periodic influx of fluvially dominated, coastally situated distributary channel complexes, rather than specifically interdistributary bay deposition.

Age
Since the Tumblagooda Sandstone comprises a sedimentary succession with no volcanic layers (which could be dated radiometrically) and with virtually no body fossils, its age is very difficult to constrain. It was first thought to have formed around , during the Cretaceous period, on the basis of stratigraphy; current estimates place it far earlier, in the Early Ordovician, . It is hoped that a new technique based on the uranium-thorium dating of diagenetic monazite crystals may produce a more precise estimate of the age, but initial attempts have failed to extract sufficient monazite from the unit.

Such a method would be of great value, as previous attempts to date the unit have been rather inconsistent. The initial Cretaceous estimate was soon reviewed with a "mid-Cambrian to early Ordovician" (~) estimate based on trace fossils, and was shortly afterwards replaced by a mid-Silurian age based on spores and acritarchs.  This was apparently confirmed by the identification in the overlying beds of a conodont fauna with a recognizably Silurian character, but when the palæomagnetism of the area was studied, an early Ordovician age was deduced.  A single conodont element, again drawn from overlying sediments, was taken to support a late Cambrian to early Ordovician age, but this was refuted by the observation that the trace fossil assemblages bore great similarity to well constrained lower Silurian assemblages from Antarctica.  The current early Ordovician age estimation is based on a much more diverse and numerous—therefore more securely dated—assemblage of conodonts, again from overlying sediments.

Tectonic history
In common with most of the Australian cratonic rocks, the Tumblagooda has undergone minimal tectonic activity since its formation.  Faulting is rare (although perhaps unrecognized in inaccessible parts of the gorges) - several new faults were discovered during systematic examination of the gorges, and units continue laterally for great distances.  Jointing is the dominant control of the landscape, with incised meanders enhancing joint locations.  Miocene uplift has resulted in the formation of deep (approximately 60m/200 ft) gorges exposing large cliff sections; with the sparse vegetation characteristic of arid Western Australia, this means the unit is exceptionally exposed, making detailed study easy in accessible portions of the gorge. Despite this, the unit was not studied until 1948, due to its inaccessibility - the 600 miles (1000 km) from Perth were mainly dirt tracks until the 1970s.

Paleontology
Only one body fossil, Kalbarria (an early euthycarcinoidic arthropod) has been found in the Tumblagooda, mainly due to the large clast size and the abundance of predatory and burrowing organisms.  (This meant that oxygen could penetrate to good depths in the sediment, permitting decomposing organisms to decay anything that burrowing animals had not eaten too rapidly for fossils to form.)  Since Kalbarria had 11 pairs of legs, it can be tentatively matched to some Protichnites arthropod trackways of the same size. Protoichnites is abundant in subaerial facies in FA2-4.  Marks which can only have been made on exposed wet sand are seen: for example "splurges" where the legs of the organism flipped sand out behind them.  The marks vary in crispness and character according to the wetability of the underlying sediment; this is particularly marked where the traces cross ripples, with the lee slopes recording a trace markedly different in appearance to those in the troughs, and the stoss slopes recording no trace at all.  Behaviour can be inferred from these traces; in places, they parallel features which modern observation notes forming at the edge of a wind-blown pond, just on the landward side of the shore.  This behaviour has been interpreted as a feeding trace; presumably the trace-maker dined on organic matter blown out of the pool, or detritus left as the pool had shrunk.  Further tracks can be traced across dunes; a slow walk up turns into a skid as the organism slid down the lee slope and into the pool on the other side.  Another instance shows the trackways of two organisms converging, then becoming one trackway, before one individual swerves away to the left, leaving the other to walk onwards.
These trackways are the earliest evidence of terrestrial animals. Due to the poor dating of the unit, it is currently impossible to speculate whether the  plants, which colonised the land in the mid-Ordovician, got there first.

Aquatic trace fossils are also abundant.  Two major ichnofacies are observed, bearing close resemblance to assemblages found in Antarctica and demonstrating proximity of western Australia and Antarctica at the time of deposition.  One is dominated by Skolithos, suggesting marine deposition. The fabric of the other is dominated by Heimdallia, a strange planar trace that does not have a circular cross-section;  it is interrupted in places by Beaconella, a wide trace thought to be constructed by a burrowing arthropod ploughing through the sediment for food, leaving a mound of piled sediment at the end of each trace.  This may suggest the Beaconella organism feeding on Heimdallia. Daedalus, a trace fossil resembling a giant garlic, is also present in this assemblage.

Virginia v. Tennessee, 148 U.S. 503 (1893), was a suit brought before the Supreme Court of the United States that sought to settle two questions:

 What is the correct boundary between the two states and, if the boundary was inaccurately set, can the state ask the court to change it?
 Does an agreement setting the boundary between two states require approval of Congress under the Compact Clause of the United States Constitution?

When two states have a controversy between each other, the case is filed for original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the United States. That is one of the very limited circumstances in which the court acts as original jurisdiction (a trial court) although, as the suit was at equity rather than law, no jury was impaneled if either side had even wanted one in the first place. In all other cases, the court acts as the highest appellate court in the United States.

The court decided that if a prior agreement between the two states sets the boundary, both states ratify that agreement, and one state later discovers that the boundary was wrong (such as the other state received a larger share of territory than originally planned), unless the other state agrees to change it, the original agreement stands.

In this particular instance, the Supreme Court rejected Virginia's contention that the intent of the original "charters of the English sovereigns" should take precedent over the 1803 compromise, which sought to address the situation initially and was agreed upon by both states.

As to what represents an interstate compact requiring approval from Congress, the court said it is agreements that would in some fashion increase the power of a state. If a state, for example, wanted to send an exhibit to a World's Fair in another state, it would not need approval by Congress to contract to use a canal owned by another state for its exhibit or its people to pass through along the way.

If a compact or agreement between two states requires congressional approval, the approval may be implied, such as if a state sends information to Congress about an agreement, and Congress accepts and records the details. Approval may be requested in advance, or, for a type of compact in which the details could not be known before the compact was ratified, after the compact is created.

The court decided that because the states informed Congress of the original survey that both states hired people to establish carefully and then enacted as legislation by the two states, the agreement was implicitly approved by Congress, and the border between the two states had been set forth in the survey.

Recovery was a sloop that was wrecked near Port Stephens, New South Wales, Australia in 1816.

Peter Hibbs was Recoverys owner. In early June 1816 Recovery headed from Hawkesbury to Port Jackson with a cargo of grain when a storm came up that blew Recovery out to sea. On turning the ship around it was wrecked near Port Stephens. The crew of two men, and a woman passenger, struggled ashore and walked 50 miles to Newcastle. On the way some aborigines stripped them of all their clothes.  At Newcastle they were given passage to Sydney on the sloop, Windsor which was also wrecked.

Pilungah Reserve, formerly Cravens Peak Reserve, is a  nature reserve in Central West Queensland, Australia,  south-west of Boulia and  south of Mount Isa.  It lies at the northern end of the Simpson Desert and includes parts of the bioregions known as the Simpson-Strezlecki Dunefields and Channel Country.  Its western boundary borders the Northern Territory.  It is owned by Bush Heritage Australia (BHA).

History
Pilungah contains fish fossils from the Devonian period.

The traditional owners of Pilungah are the Wangkamadla (also spelt Wanggamala, Wangkamahdla, Wongkamala) people. The area was at the heart of the trade route stretching from the Gulf of Carpentaria in the north right down to  South Australia along which the local narcotic plant, pituri, was exchanged for stone knives, seashells, and daggers made out of the tusks of dugongs. Rock paintings and significant sites exist in the reserve.

It later became a pastoral lease that was operated as a beef cattle station until acquisition by BHA, and named Cravens Peak Reserve. It has been owned and managed by Bush Heritage Australia (BHA) since 2005, when they purchased it using a bequest by Gay Bell. A reason for acquisition of the property was the need to help conserve the Mulligan River catchment. The reserve lies adjacent to Ethabuka Reserve, acquired by BHA in 2004.

Len and Joanna Rule were the Bush Heritage managers from 2006 to 2008.

BHA have nurtured and developed relationships with the Wangkamadla people since 2009, and in 2014 signed a Cultural Heritage Management Agreement with them.

In October 2021, the reserve was renamed Pilungah Reserve, the name taken from a freshwater spring that was culturally significant to the Wangkamadla people, the traditional owners of the land, before it was destroyed by a former owner of the property. In July 2021, the
Wangkamahdla people won native title rights to over  west and southwest of Boulia, stretching from around Bedourie, Queensland, across to the Northern Territory border, including Cravens Peak and part of the Munga-Thirri National Park.

Landscape and ecology
Pilungah is composed of rocky hills and plains, with the Toomba Range of the western section being the highest and most rugged, and the eastern section dominated by dunefields and the associated swales, with gibber plains in the south.  There are ephemeral claypans and waterholes in the catchment of the Mulligan River.

Management needs to address previous overgrazing, control of introduced herbivores and predators, as well as fire ecology.

Flora and fauna
The relatively moist environment provides an oasis and retreat for desert animals when it is too dry for them.

Vegetation communities include Mitchell grass plains; coolabah and gidgee woodlands; mallee; and hummock (spinifex) and Mitchell grass plains.

The reserve is part of the Simpson Desert Important Bird Area (IBA), identified as such by BirdLife International for its importance in conserving suitable habitat for Eyrean grasswrens. Other birds include the grey falcon, painted finch, Australian bustard, and spinifex pigeon. The claypans and waterholes are important for waterfowl conservation.

The reserve is also home to an abundance of reptiles, including the rare Woma python,  Ariadna's ctenotus (a rare skink), and the  ridge-tailed monitor, as well as the marsupials such as the vulnerable nocturnal mulgara and the tiny inland ningaui.

Blaise Gisbert (21 February 1657 – 21 February 1731) was a French Jesuit rhetorician and critic.

Gisbert was born in Cahors.  Having entered the Society of Jesus in 1672, he taught the humanities, rhetoric, and philosophy, after which he devoted himself for a long time to preaching. The pleasure which Gisbert took in discussing pulpit eloquence with Nicolas de Lamoignon, the intendant of Languedoc, impelled him to write an essay on sacred eloquence, which he entitled Le bon gôut de l'éloquence chrétienne (Lyons, 1702). He spent ten years in retouching this essay, and augmented it considerably by adding to the rules examples drawn from Holy Scripture and the Church Fathers, especially St. John Chrysostom. The second edition appeared in Lyons in 1715 under the title L'Eloquence chrétienne dans l'idée et dans la pratique. The work, which comprises twenty-three chapters, does not follow the rigorous order of a didactical treatise and is without the dryness of a scholastic manual. It has been called "un livre éloquent sur l'éloquence" (An eloquent book on Eloquence). It contains a series of talks on the faults to be avoided in the matter and form of sermons, on oratorical action and decorum.

Gisbert's book sufficed to make its author famous, not only among Catholic clergy, but even among Protestant pastors. One of them, Jacques L'enfant (1661–1728), carefully annotated it, and another, Kornrumpff, translated it into German. An Italian translation also appeared during Gisbert's lifetime, and later a Latin translation. As a sort of supplement, Gisbert wrote reflections on the collections of sermons printed in France from 1570 to about 1670. In this he considers ten orators before Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet and Louis Bourdaloue. The manuscript of this Historie critique de la chaire française depuis François Ier was lost but was finally recovered by Mgr Puyol and published by Fathers Chérot and Griselle, S.J., in the Revue Bourdaloue, 1902–04.

Gisbert died, aged 74, in Montpellier.

The aloalo is a funerary pole sculpture that, along with the skulls of slaughtered zebu, is placed on the tombs of important people in the south-western region of Madagascar. Originally, aloalos were only available for wealthy individuals, but later the wealthy could purchase them. The memorial may help the deceased to join the community of ancestors, since the word alo means 'intermediary' or 'messenger' in Malagasy. These carved posts often tell the story of the person's life and generally take the form of a series of geometric or symbolic shapes topped by sculpted figures or objects evocative of the deceased's life, or desirable material possessions. The zebu represents prosperity and the aloalo usually has a combination of nude human figures and birds. They are chiefly associated with the Mahafaly people, although they are also found on the tombs of some Antandroy and particularly the Sakalava, whose carved figures are reputed for their often erotic imagery.

Traditionally, burial sites and aloalos were located outside of villages. After the 1896 French colonization, aloalos were exposed to the rest of the world where aloalos are now often found on the international art market.

Mixian () is a type of rice noodle from the Yunnan Province, China. It is made from ordinary non-glutinous rice, and it is generally sold fresh rather than dried.

Production
The processing of mixian in Yunnan is unique, involving a fermentation process. In many areas there are at least two distinct thicknesses produced, a thinner form (roughly  in diameter) and a thicker form (roughly  in diameter).

Serving

Mixian is served in various ways, either in broth or stir-fried.

Stir-fried
Stir-fried preparation is rapid, most common in the evening, and is popular at roadside barbecue-type stands throughout Yunnan. Egg, tomato, meat, spring onion and chilli are frequently utilized.

Broth

Condiments vary significantly but may typically include some subset of the following:
 chicken powder or essence
 chili pepper (diced fresh chili, plus at least one or two prepared chilli pastes, often mixed with oil)
 chrysanthemum flowers
 coriander
 mint
 garlic (often finely diced, in liquid suspension, or in thin sectioned slices)
 ginger (as above, but less commonly in slices)
 pepper (both regular pepper and powdered or whole Sichuan pepper)
 salt
 sesame oil
 Sichuan pepper oil
 soy sauce
 spring onion
 suan cai (pickled or preserved vegetable)
 tomato
 vinegar
 wood ear mushroom
 zhe'ergen (a spicy root common to southwestern China).

Geographical extent
Mixian is popular in Yunnan Province, where it can be found in many streets and villages, and is occasionally available in other mainland Chinese cities. It is generally very difficult to obtain outside of mainland China, probably since the fresh method of preparation could be seen to necessitate a certain minimum volume of consumption in order to be commercially viable. It is relatively similar to noodles consumed in neighbouring Laos (feu) and Vietnam (phở), with the key difference that the base mixian broth is usually heavily personalized by the customer in Yunnanese tradition, and the establishment's own pre-made broth is less adulterated and more significantly appreciated/judged as a key factor in Vietnam (and perhaps to a lesser extent Laos). Dishes like nan gyi thohk and baik kut kyee kaik in various parts of Myanmar are based on a similar dimension of rice noodle but differ broadly in flavour profile (tending more toward flavours in Indian cuisine with ingredients such as chickpea flour) and preparatory method (far greater use of frying). It is more common in unadulterated Yunnanese form in commercial centers of Myanmar with growing Chinese populations, such as Mandalay. Dishes in Thailand such as pad thai also rely on rice noodles, though often they are flat and therefore more similar to Chinese juanfen or Yunnanese migan. A Tibetan broth-based noodle dish using wheat-flour instead of rice-flour noodles, thukpa, is thought to have originated in eastern Tibet (i.e. closer to Yunnan) and is made and enjoyed throughout Bhutan, Northeast India, Nepal, Sikkim and Tibet.

Mediclinic Group, founded in 1983, is an international private hospital group with operations in South Africa, Namibia, Switzerland and the United Arab Emirates. The Group's head office is based in Stellenbosch, South Africa. It has been listed on the JSE, the South African securities exchange, since 1986. It was listed on the London Stock Exchange until it was acquired by a South African consortium which included Remgro and Mediterranean Shipping Company in May 2023.

History
Mediclinic was founded in 1983 in Stellenbosch, South Africa when Dr Edwin Hertzog, was commissioned by the then Rembrandt Group (now Remgro Group) to undertake a feasibility study on how profitable private hospitals could be. Three years later Mediclinic, running four hospitals in commission and three hospitals under construction, listed on the JSE, the South African stock exchange in 1986.

In 2006, Mediclinic reached agreement to acquire a controlling interest in Emirates Healthcare in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, which then owned one hospital, the rights to develop two further hospitals in the Dubai Healthcare City and five clinics.

Mediclinic acquired Hirslanden, the largest private hospital group in Switzerland, for SF2.54bn in 2007.

In June 2015, Mediclinic then acquired a 29.9% interest in Spire Healthcare, a UK-based private healthcare group.

Mediclinic announced a reverse merger of Al Noor Hospitals in October 2015. The former Mediclinic shareholders owned up to 93% of the combined business on completion. The merger was completed on 15 February 2016.

The healthcare group officially started trading on the London Stock Exchange on 16 February 2016.

The founder stepped down in 2020 and Dame Inga Beale took over as Chair of the company.

The South African arm of Mediclinic was criticised in 2021 when it emerged that controversial doctor Wouter Basson was working at one of its Western Cape facilities.

In August 2022, the company accepted a takeover offer worth £3.7 billion from a South African consortium which included Remgro and Mediterranean Shipping Company. In May 2023, the company confirmed that the South African Reserve Bank had approved the transaction, so allowing it to complete.

Operations
Mediclinic also holds a 29.9% interest in Spire Healthcare, a LSE listed and UK-based private healthcare group.

A  (treatise on jyotisha) is a text from a classical body of literature on the topic of Hindu astrology, known as , dating to the medieval period of Classical Sanskrit literature (roughly the 3rd to 9th centuries CE). Only the most important ones exist in scholarly editions or translations, while many remain unedited in Sanskrit or vernacular manuscripts.

Such classical texts should be distinguished from modern works. There are a great number of contemporary publications, reflecting the persisting importance of astrology in Hindu culture, and the corresponding economical attractivity of the market in India. Notable modern authors include Sri Yukteswar Giri (1855–1936) and Bangalore Venkata Raman (1912–1998).

Classification

David Pingree defines jyotihshastra as manuscripts on astronomy, mathematics, astrology and divination, and estimates that about 10% of surviving Sanskrit manuscripts belong to the category.

Traditionally, jyotihshastra texts are classified into three broad categories:

 samhitā or śākhā (natural astrology and omens): effects of planetary positions and other natural phenomenon on the world
 horā or jātaka (horoscopic astrology): effects of planetary positions on humans,
 gaṇita (mathematical astronomy): calculations of planetary paths and other astronomical matters such as spherics
 siddhanta: a fundamental treatise; generally uses the beginning of creation of kalpa (aeon) as the epoch of calculation
 tantra: generally uses the beginning of the kali yuga as the epoch of calculation
 karana: a handy, practical work describing short and simplified calculations; meant for panchanga-makers; generally uses the year of composition as the epoch

According to Pingree, this classification, mentioned in sources such as the Brihat Samhita (1.9),  does not cover the field adequately.
