Text

Hebrew Bible version
Following is the Hebrew text of Psalm 30:

King James Version
 I will extol thee, O ; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
 O  my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
 O , thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
 Sing unto the , O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
 And in my prosperity I said, I shall never be moved.
 , by thy favour thou hast made my mountain to stand strong: thou didst hide thy face, and I was troubled.
 I cried to thee, O ; and unto the  I made supplication.
 What profit is there in my blood, when I go down to the pit? Shall the dust praise thee? shall it declare thy truth?
 Hear, O , and have mercy upon me: , be thou my helper.
 Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;
 To the end that my glory may sing praise to thee, and not be silent. O  my God, I will give thanks unto thee for ever.

Theme
Psalm 30 is called , , "A Psalm, a song for the Dedication of a House" Greek numbering: Psalm 29). It is a psalm of thanksgiving, traditionally ascribed to David upon the building of his own royal palace. David dedicated his life work to be completed by his son, who built the "Hallowed House",   Solomon's Temple. It is Solomon and his lineage, not the building, which in later sources are called the House of David.

 , from the same root as Hanukkah, is the name for Jewish education, emphasizing ethical training and discipline.

Liturgical use in Judaism
 This psalm is a part of daily prayer in some rites. It was originally recited in Pesukei dezimra, a section of the Shacharit prayer, in the Sephardic rite, in which they omit the first verse. From there, it seems to have made its way in the 17th century to Nusach Sefard, in which they added the first verse, and from there it was adopted in the Eastern Ashkenazic rite. It is not recited in the Western Ashkenazic rite, the Italian rite or the Yemenite rite. The purpose of this was to dedicate the morning temple service.
 Psalm 30 is also considered the psalm for the day of Hanukkah, and some communities recite it in addition to, or instead of, the regular Psalm of the day.
 There are many traditional and contemporary melodies for this psalm that are sung or recited especially during Hanukkah.
 Psalm 30 in Vizhnitz melody, by Invitation to Piyut
 Psalm 30 by R. Avner Yemini and congregation
 Verse 12 is found in the prayers recited following Motzei Shabbat Maariv.
 Verse 13 is part of Uva Letzion.

Christian uses
Augustine saw the psalm David wrote of the founding of the house as pointing to the resurrection of Christ and the foundation of God's house, the church.

In the Catholic Church, Psalm 30 is appointed to be read at Lauds (Morning Prayer) on Thursday in the first week of the month.

In the Church of England's Book of Common Prayer, this psalm is appointed to be read on the morning of the sixth day of the month.

Verse 5 is used in the Jesus Culture song "Your Love Never Fails".

Musical settings
Heinrich Schütz wrote a setting of a metric paraphrase of Psalm 30 in German, "Ich preis dich, Herr, zu aller Stund", SWV 127, for the Becker Psalter, published first in 1628.

Sarah Greenwood is a British production designer.

Biography

Early career
She studied at the Wimbledon College of Art and was production designer in theater for more than three years. However she was not entirely satisfied with the work, so she got a job at the BBC in the early 90s and stayed there for a while. It didn't only get her a better job, but helped in her transformation from theater to TV. She worked on designing sets for television talk show Later... with Jools Holland. Then, in the late 90s, the BBC disappeared the charge of production design, and she had to work in independent cinema.

Production design career and awards
In an interview column for the Golden Globe Awards, Greenwood stated that green arsenic was used in the corridors for the film Atonement, but the director, Joe Wright, wanted Irish green for the dress that Keira Knightley was going to use in the movie. Sarah decided to give priority to dress and change the colour she had planned for the corridors, because the dress had a risk of losing visual emphasis. She said, "Sometimes you have to be strong to win battles, and sometimes you have to know when to let go." She was not entirely convinced with the colour that the director wanted, but there are decisions that an art director must make to get the message to the viewer.

Another story that she tells, is that when she went to get a production art job on a film to be made, someone said, "This project is very large. Sure you can handle it?" She had worked on huge sets, so she said "if you have the tools and enough supplies to meet the needs with a good production team, anything is possible." When she met the director, he said he was asked the same question, this made clear it was not a gender thing. "They just wanted to make sure that we all can do this," she said.

In 2017, Greenwood worked on Disney's live action version of Beauty and the Beast, directed by Bill Condon and released in March, and the biopic Darkest Hour, directed by Joe Wright; receiving Oscar nominations for both.

Greenwood has been nominated six times for an Academy Award – in 2006 for Pride & Prejudice, in 2008 for Atonement, in 2010 for Sherlock Holmes, in 2013 for Anna Karenina and in 2018 for both Beauty and the Beast, and Darkest Hour. In 2008, she was elected best production designer for Atonement at the 61st British Academy Film Awards, the 26th European Film Awards, and won the Art Directors Guild Award for Excellence in Period Film for the same film.

Morningbell is a psychedelic rock band based in Gainesville, Florida. The band was formed in 2000 by brothers Travis Atria (vocals, guitar, lyricist) and Eric Atria (bass guitar, theremin, backing vocals). Stacie Thrushman/Atria (keyboard) joined the band in late 2001, while Chris Hillman (drums) was recruited in 2007 as the band's 6th drummer.

History
In 2000, brothers Eric and Travis Atria decided to form a band while attending the University of Miami.  The two sought out Devon Bergman on drums and Chris Hallman on keyboards.  Initially started under the name "Jerry Walks the Plank," the band quickly changed to "Future Feels Good" (a reference from explodingdog.com).  The band played regularly around the Miami area, yet after a year parted ways with Bergman and Hallman who went on to pursue other projects.  They were replaced by Masatoshi Enomoto on drums and Stacie Thrushman on keyboards.

Dissatisfied with the Miami music scene, the band relocated to Gainesville in 2003 and began work in earnest.  After growing tired of being asked to repeat the band name or if the band played Christian rock, the band changed their name to "Morningbell", inspired by Radiohead's Kid Aalbum, a favorite of the members.

Live performances
From 2004 to present, Morningbell has toured the United States, establishing themselves, in the words of Allmusic.com as "a hot live act."  Recent tours have included sets at Bonnaroo and South by Southwest.

Sarah Joy Andrews (born 26 December 1981) is a retired female cricketer who played for Australia from 2006 to early 2010. She was a right-arm fast bowler and a right-handed lower-order batsman.

After playing in the Second XI in 2000–01, Andrews made her debut for New South Wales in the 2001–02 Women's National Cricket League (WNCL). In her debut season, she was dropped multiple times and not given much of a workload with the ball. She took five wickets and was omitted for the first half of the next season before ending with six wickets despite never bowling a full quota of overs. At the end of the summer, she was selected for the Australian Under-23 team.

In 2003–04, Andrews played a full season for the first time and took seven wickets. In the second final against Victoria, she bowled a full quota of overs for the first time, in her 21st match. On an Under-23 tour of Sri Lanka, she made her first-class debut against the hosts' senior team, taking four wickets. Andrews had a poor 2004–05 WNCL, taking only five wickets, and then started the following season poorly, taking only three wickets in the first six matches. She took career-best figures of 5/16 and followed it with 3/45 the next day, both against Victoria. She then took 3/32 in the first final against Queensland and ended with five for the finals series as New South Wales won the first of five consecutive titles.

Andrews ended with 16 wickets for the tournament and was rewarded with selection for the national team, making her Test and One Day International (ODI) debut at the end of the season against India. She took 2/48 on her Test debut and 3/21 in her first ODI. After taking ten wickets in her first six ODIs, Andrews took 15 wickets in New South Wales' 2006–07 WNCL win. She struggled during a quadrangular series on the spin-friendly pitches of India and was used only sporadically, taking three wickets in four matches, but returned to form in the home Rose Bowl series against New Zealand, taking nine wickets in five matches. In 2007–08, Andrews was in and out of the Australian team and played in six ODIs, taking seven wickets. She was then dropped for the home series against India at the start of the 2008–09 season and was responded by taking 13 wickets in the WNCL to earn a recall. Andrews made sporadic appearances in the Rose Bowl series ahead of the 2009 World Cup, in which she played in four of Australia's seven matches, taking five wickets as Australia came fourth. She was selected for the 2009 World Twenty20 in England, and played in all of Australia's four matches, taking two wickets. In the subsequent bilateral series hosted by England, Andrews took her career best figures of 4/50 and ended with eight ODI wickets.

Andrews took 14 wickets in the 2009–10 WNCL as New South Wales won again, and in the following Rose Bowl series, she bowed out of competitive cricket with ten wickets in seven ODIs as Australia swept the series.

Early career

In January 2000, Andrews played for New South Wales in Under-19 interstate championships. She took 11 wickets at 6.00, with a best of 4/13 in the qualifying match against Victoria. New South Wales won all of their seven matches, defeating Victoria in the final. New South Wales' batting was rarely challenged by their outclassed opposition, so Andrews was only required to bat three times in the lower-order, scoring 15 runs at 7.50. She also took six catches.

In 2000–01, Andrews played in three Second XI fixtures for New South Wales. She scored a total of 19 runs in three brief innings that all ended in not outs, and took two wickets at 38.50 and an economy rate of 3.34.

Domestic debut

Andrews made her senior debut for New South Wales in the 2001–02 Women's National Cricket League, playing in seven matches, all of which ended in victory. Although she was a specialist bowler who batted at the end of the tail and was never required in matches during the season, she was not entrusted with a substantial workload with the ball, sending down an average of only four overs per match. She took 0/10 from five overs in her debut against South Australia, before taking her maiden wickets in the second match of the double-header, claiming 2/7 from three overs. She took only one wicket in the next two matches against Queensland and was dropped for the double-header against Western Australia, before being recalled for the last two round-robin matches against Victoria. She did not bowl in the first, and took 1/17 from six overs in the next. The two teams met again in the finals series, and Andrews was dropped for the first match, before being recalled and taking 1/16 from four overs in the next match as New South Wales won their sixth title in a row with a 2–0 triumph. Andrews ended her first season with five wickets at 16.80 and an economy rate of 3.00.

At the end of the season, Andrews was selected for Australia Youth team to play against New Zealand and New Zealand A. She bowled her full quota of 30 overs in three matches, taking three wickets at 19.00 at an economy rate of 1.90. She also scored 21 runs at 21.00 in three innings. Her best performance was 2/13 in the last match against the senior New Zealand team.

The following season, Andrews missed the first four matches of the WNCL. She took 3/18 in her second match of the season against Queensland and took one wicket in the three other group matches. In the first final against Victoria, Andrew took 0/15 from four overs in a three-wicket defeat. She was dropped for the second final, which Victoria won to end New South Wales' six-year run. Andrews ended with six wickets at 14.83 at an economy rate of 3.17 and scored 3 runs at 3.00. She averaged less than six overs a match. At the end of the summer, she played for the Australian Under-23 team against England; she took a total of 0/47 from 19 overs in a two-innings match and scored 21 in Australia's only innings.

In 2003–04, Andrews played her first full season in the WNCL, taking to the field in all 11 of New South Wales' matches. She took only five wickets in the first five matches, including figures of 2/30 from seven overs in a tie against Victoria. She then went wicketless in the last three fixtures of the round-robin stage. In the first final against defending champions Victoria, she took 0/18 from five overs in a six-wicket defeat. She was retained for the second final despite the four consecutive wicketless matches, and took 2/28 from her ten overs to set up a five-wicket win. This was the first time in her 21 WNCL matches that Andrews had bowled a full quota of overs. In the deciding final, she was taken out of the attack after being hit for 17 runs in three overs; New South Wales ended up winning by three wickets to regain the WNCL title. Andrews ended the season with seven wickets at 36.14 at an economy rate of 3.51 and eight runs at 8.00.

Andrews was selected for the Australia Youth team to play New Zealand A at the end of the season. She took three wickets at 35.00 at an economy rate of 3.00, and hit 54 in a six-wicket defeat in the fourth and final match of the series. Before the 2004–05 season started, Andrews toured Sri Lanka in September as part of the Australian Under-23s to play against the hosts' national team. Australia won three of the four one-dayers, the other was washed-out. Andrews took six wickets at 13.00, including 3/44 in the second match, and scored 10 not out and 31 not out in her only innings. The tour ended with a first-class match against the Sri Lankan team. Andrews took 3/24 and 1/11 in a 144-run win. She also made seven and a duck on her first-class debut.

Andrews had a quiet and ineffective 2004–05 WNCL season, taking only five wickets at 44.80 at an economy rate of 3.01 from ten matches. Her best performance came in a round-robin match against Victoria, taking 2/29 in a four-wicket defeat. The teams met again in the finals. In the first match, she took 0/30 from nine overs in a 21-run win. The second match saw a fightback from the Victorian bowlers, who dismissed New South Wales for 71, Andrews making 19 not out in a tail-wagging performance. She then took 1/10 from six overs but Victoria reached their target with five wickets in hand to square the series. Andrews took 0/11 from six overs to help restrict Victoria to 6/159, but she made only one before being run out as the defending champions fell 50 runs short and ceded their title. Andrews ended the season with 23 runs at 23.00.

The 2005–06 season started poorly for Andrews. She went wicketless in the first three matches, and took only three wickets in the first six matches. Her form turned around in the last two round-robin matches against Victoria. In the first match, having made ten with the bat, she took 5/16, her career best bowling performance, as New South Wales won by 48 runs. The next day, she took 3/45, helping to set up a five-wicket victory. New South Wales faced Queensland in the finals. In the first match, she took 3/35 to dismiss Queensland for 174, setting up a ten-wicket win. In the second final the following day, she made nine not out as New South Wales collapsed to be all out for 154. She took 1/32 from 10 overs as Queensland squared the series with a three-wicket victory. In the last final, Andrews could only make one as New South Wales capitulated to be all out for 146. She then took 1/18, taking the final wicket by bowling Megan White as New South Wales took a thrilling two-run win, sealing the WNCL title. Andrews ended with 20 runs at 10.00 and 16 wickets at 18.81 at an economy rate of 3.48.

International debut

Andrews was rewarded with selection for Australia for the home series against India held in Adelaide at the end of the season. She made her debut in the one-off Test at the Adelaide Oval, and came in at No. 11 after Australia batted first. she made three from six balls before being run out as the hosts made 250. Opening the bowling with Cathryn Fitzpatrick, she took 2/29 from nine overs in the first innings. She had opener Monica Sumra caught by Karen Rolton in her second over, and then trapped the other opener Karu Jain for 21 to leave the Indians at 2/41. In the following over, without further addition to the score, Andrews took her maiden Test catch to dismiss leading Indian batsman and captain Mithali Raj from the bowling of Fitzpatrick. The Indians eventually collapsed to be all out for 93. Australia enforced the follow on and Andrews took 0/19 from 17 overs and caught Sunetra Paranjpe in the second innings as the tourists lost by an innings. After missing the first ODI, she made her debut in the second match, coming in at No. 11 and scoring four not out from seven balls in Australia's 173 all out. She then took 3/21 from six overs to help secure a 12-run win. In the next match she took 1/33 in a nine-wicket win and ended the series with four wickets at 13.50 and an economy rate of 3.33. Andrews is the 148th woman to play Test cricket for Australia, and the 106th woman to play One Day International cricket for Australia.

At the start of the 2006–07 season, Andrews made her Twenty20 international debut against New Zealand at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane, having never played in the format at domestic level. She was attacked by the opposition batsmen, ending with 1/42 from four overs in a tied match. The rest of the Australians conceded their runs at 6.18 per over. After missing the first ODI, she returned to take two wickets in each of the next three matches before going wicketless in the fifth match. She ended with six wickets at 24.50 at the relatively high economy rate of 4.59; Australia won all of the last four matches. The second ODI was a close call as Australia won by one wicket?? from the ?? ball of the match. Andrews came in upon the fall of the eighth wicket and scored two from three balls before being run out, but ?? and ?? saw Australia to victory.

Having broken into international cricket, Andrews started the 2006–07 WNCL season strongly, taking 3/18 to set up a three-wicket win over Victoria in the opening matches of the season. In the fourth match of the tournament, against Queensland, she made a tail-wagging 16 and took 3/27 from her ten overs, but was not able to defend New South Wales' meagre 9/162 as they lost by six wickets. In the sixth match, she made an unbeaten 13 help New South Wales scrape home by two wickets against Western Australia. Andrews took 13 wickets in the eight qualifying matches. New South Wales reached the finals hosted by Victoria after winning five of their eight matches. She took 0/39 from nine overs as the hosts were dismissed for 136 in the first match. New South Wales struggled in the run-chase and Andrews made 17 in the lower order before the defending champions scraped home by one wicket. In the second final, New South Wales's batsmen against struggled and Andrews made 36 to push the total to 144. She took 0/31 from ten overs as the home team reached their target with eight wickets in hand. In the deciding match, Andrews took 2/40 to help restrict Victoria to 7/205 and then made one as New South Wales took a hard-fought three-wicket win and a second consecutive WNCL title. Andrews ended the season with 15 wickets at 22.60 and an economy rate of 3.53. She was also more prominent with the bat than in the past, scoring 107 runs at 21.40.

After the end of the Australian season, Andrews was selected for the ODI team for a four-nations tournament in Chennai, India. In addition to the hosts and Australia, New Zealand and England were also participating, and each team played each other twice in round-robin phase. On dusty, slow and turning pitches conducive to spin, Andrews was overlooked for the first two matches before playing in four remaining qualifying matches. After going wicketless against England, she scored 21 not out—her only innings of the tournament—from 13 balls in the next match against New Zealand, having been promoted to No. 9. She struck three boundaries in her brief innings to help Australia to???. She then took 2/27 from five overs as Australia completed a 49-run win. After failing to take a wicket in the second match against England, she took 1/26 from five overs in the last round-robin match against India. Australia had won all four matches in which Andrews had played, but she was expensive, taking three wickets at 37.00 and registered an unfavourable economy rate of 4.82. She was left out of the final as Australia defeated New Zealand.

In July 2007, Australia hosted New Zealand in a Rose Bowl series in the middle of the southern hemisphere winter by staging the matches in the tropical northern city of Darwin. Andrews had another expensive spell in the one-off T20 international, conceding 37 from her four overs while her colleagues averaged 4.37 runs per over. However, she was on hand in the run-chase scoring one not out as Australia reached the target with one wicket in hand. She was in better form in the ODIs, taking 2/22 in a seven-wicket win in the first match. After going wicketless in the next fixture, she was promoted to No. 8 for the only time in her career in the run-chase. She made 10 from 16 balls before??? as Australia lost by ????.

she took 3/23, including five maidens in ten overs, helping to restrict New Zealand to 8/187 and setting up a six-wicket win. She took 2/34 in the next match and then scored an unbeaten 11 to help guide the Australians to a three-wicket win????xxx, taking an unassailable 3–1 series lead.  She took 2/29 in a four-wicket win in the next match, ending the series with nine wickets at 15.11 and an economy rate of 3.16 and scored 31 runs at 15.50, at a strike rate of 75.61.

After going wicketless in the first two matches of the 2007–08 WNCL against South Australia, Andrews took 3/21 in the next match against Victoria to set up a seven-wicket win. She then took a wicket in each of the next two matches before claiming 2/30 and scoring 13 as New South Wales took a hard-fought two-wicket win over Queensland. She ended the eight-match season with eight wickets at 23.87 and an economy rate of 3.35 and scored 50 runs at 8.33. After winning their first seven matches, New South Wales lost the last match against Western Australia, but it was enough for them to qualify first to host the final. The decider against South Australia was abandoned due to rain and New South Wales were awarded the title for qualifying first. Interstate T20 matches were introduced and Andrews took 2/51 from a total of eight overs in two matches.

Andrews was retained for Australia's international engagements against England and New Zealand at the end of the season. She started poorly, conceding 49 runs from five wicketless overs in an eight-wicket defeat at the hands of the Australian Under-21 team in a warm-up match at Kardinia Park in Geelong. Andrews failed to take a wicket in the one-off T20 international, and then conceded 29 runs from four overs before scoring 10 runs from as many balls in the first ODI as Australia lost by ??. She was then dropped. She was recalled for the final ODI, taking 1/31 in a 41-run win, ending the series with one wicket at 60.00 at an economy rate of 4.61. In the one-off Test in Bowral, Andrews batted at No. 9 and scored six as Australia were bowled out for 154. She then took 0/24 from 11 overs as England made 244 to take a 90-run lead. In the second innings, Andrews made nine not out as Australia declared at 9/231 to set the visitors a target of 142. She then took 0/9 from four overs as Australia lost by six wickets.

The Australians then travelled to New Zealand for the Rose Bowl series held at the Bert Sutcliffe Oval in Lincoln. In the solitary T20 match, she scored 10 not out as Australia managed only 9/80 and took 0/15 from four overs in a four-wicket defeat. It was the first time in four T20 internationals that she had conceded less than 6.50 runs per over. Andrews played in four of the five ODI matches, taking 3/45 from nine overs in the final match to help set up an eight-wicket win. She ended the series with six wickets at 19.83 and a relatively high economy rate of 4.57 and also scored eight runs at 4.00.

Omission and recall for the 2009 World Cup and World Twenty20

Andrews was dropped from the Australia team for the home series against India before the start of the 2008–09 WNCL season. She responded by taking 12 wickets in the first six matches of the WNCL season, including a haul of 3/23 in an eight-wicket win over Western Australia and 3/43 in a losing cause against South Australia. In these six matches, she conceded 3.10 runs per over. She was unable to maintain this form throughout the season, going wicketless in the final two round-robin matches against Victoria, which New South Wales won to earn hosting rights for the final. Andrews then took 1/11 from seven overs as New South Wales won by six wickets to take a fourth consecutive WNCL title. She ended with 13 wickets at 18.53 and an economy rate of 3.23 and made a duck in her only innings.

Andrews was also effective in New South Wales's two T20 matches, taking four wickets at 5.75 at and economy rate of 3.28.

Andrews' strong WNCL performances earned her a recall into the Australian team ahead of the 2009 Women's Cricket World Cup to be held in New South Wales and Canberra. Before the World Cup, the Australians headed to New Zealand for the Rose Bowl series. Andrews was called into the playing XI for the second match, but was ineffective taking 1/52 from ten overs. She was dropped before being recalled for the fourth match, taking 1/17 from four overs in a victory; the final ODI was washed out.

In two warm-up matches ahead of the World Cup, Andrews had promising results although she bowled only briefly. She took 1/7 from three overs against England and then took 2/12 from four overs against Sri Lanka, as the hosts won both matches.

Despite these results, Andrews was left out of the first two group matches against New Zealand and South Africa; Australia lost the first and won the latter and needed to win the last group match against the West Indies to ensure progression to the next round. Andrews took 1/34 from eight overs as Australia took a 47-run win. However, she was substantially more expensive than her colleagues—the run rate in the remaining 42 overs was 3.14—and was dropped for the first Super Six match against India, which Australia lost by 18 runs. She was recalled and took 1/20 from 7.1 overs against Pakistan in a 107-run win. By this time, Australia's two losses had already made it impossible to make the final. Andrews took 3/35 from 8.3 overs in the final super Six match against England, which Australia won by eight wickets, and they met India in the third-place playoff. Andrews batted for the only time in the tournament and was unbeaten on zero as Australia were out for 142. She took 0/23 from five overs as the hosts lost by three wickets. Andrews ended the World Cup with five wickets at 22.40 and an economy rate of 3.90.

Andrews was selected for Australia's team for the inaugural Women's World Twenty20 held in England in 2009. The Australians hosted New Zealand for a three-match series in tropical Darwin at the beginning of June before the World Cup, and Andrews showed good form taking five wickets at 11.40 at an economy rate of only 5.70, with a best of 3/13 from three overs in the final match, helping Australia seal the series 2–1. However, she could not maintain the form. She took 0/31 from three overs in the team's only warm-up on English soil, against the hosts, and was retained for all the matches, despite taking only two wickets at 43.50 and taking an economy rate of 7.56. Andrews took 0/25 from three overs in a nine-wicket loss to New Zealand, but was retained for the match against the Western Indies, taking 2/19 from four overs in an eight-wicket win. She was again attacked in the group match against South Africa, taking 0/19 from two overs in a 24-run win that qualified Australia for the semi-finals. Andrews was retained and was again ineffective, taking 0/24 from 2.3 overs as the hosts won by eight wickets to reach the final, which they won. She did not bat in any of the matches in Australia or England.

Andrews and the Australians stayed in England for a bilateral series against the hosts, who were the reigning world champions in both ODIs and T20s, after the end of the World Twenty20. She took 1/20 from her four overs as Australia upset England in the only T20 by 34 runs. She played in all of the five ODIs, taking eight wickets at 17.62 at an economy rate of 4.54 with a best of 4/50 from ten overs in the fourth match. She also scored 19 runs at 9.50, including 16 from 36 balls batting at No. 11 in the first match at Chelmsford and delaying the eventual English victory by ??? by ????.

England won all the ODI matches except the last, which was washed out. Andrews played in the one-off Test at County Road in Worcestershire. Batting at No. 11, she scored 11 from 14 balls in Australia's 309, before taking 1/32 from an economical display of 20.3 overs to help Australia take a 41-run lead. Having caught Lydia Greenway early in the innings, she then bowled the final English batsman Laura Marsh for 38, ending a last-wicket partnership of 59. She then made 4 not out as Australia were bowled out for 231 to set the hosts a target of 273 before the match was drawn. She took 1/22—dismissing opener Caroline Atkins for a duck—from 13 overs in the second innings, meaning that she had conceded less than two runs per over throughout the match.

Final season

In the first match of the 2009–10 WNCL season, Andrews scored 22 to push New South Wales to 198 before taking 0/28 from seven overs in a 15-run win. The following day, she took 3/26 in a 19-run win. After taking only one wicket in the two matches against the Australian Capital Territory, Andrews claimed 2/21 and 3/29 in the two matches against Victoria. She took only one wicket in the double-header against Western Australia before taking 2/8 from six overs and 1/33 in the last two matches against South Australia, which New South Wales won to qualify for the final. Andrews scored two not out as the defending champions batted first and made 9/206. She then took 1/18 from 5.1 overs as they bowled the Victorians out for 147 to claim a fifth successive WNCL title. Andrews finished the season with 14 wickets at 19.28 and an economy rate of 3.22. She scored 42 runs at 14.00 for the season.

During the season, the T20 matches were expanded into a six-round competition and final. Andrews played in all of New South Wales' seven matches and took five wickets at 21.20 and an economy rate of 4.60; she added 21 runs at 21.00. Her best bowling of 2/22 came from four overs in the qualifying match against Victoria, which New South Wales lost by seven runs. The two teams met again in the final and Andrews took 1/12 from four overs including a maiden as Victoria reached 5/127. In reply, Andrews made 15, one of the few batsmen to reach double figures as New South Wales capitulated for 75 and lost the title-deciding match.

In the 2010 Rose Bowl series after the WNCL, Andrews played in the first four of the five ODIs during the Australian leg of the competition. She took 2/18 and 2/20, both from five overs as Australia won both of the matches at the Adelaide Oval. The series then moved to the Junction Oval in Melbourne and Andrews took 1/12 from four overs and 2/29 from nine overs in the next two matches. She was not required to bat and ended with seven wickets at 11.28 at an economy rate of 3.43 as Australia completed a clean sweep.

The ODIs were followed by five T20 internationals, three at Bellerive Oval in Hobart and the last two in New Zealand. Andrews played in all but the last match, but had little success, taking one wicket at 97.00 and an economy rate of 6.46 and she batted once, scoring one not out. New Zealand won all five T20s. Andrews then played in all three ODIs on New Zealand soil, taking one wicket in each match as Australia completed a clean sweep. She ended with three wickets at 38.00 at an economy rate of 4.07.

Upon returning to Australia, Andrews retired from competitive cricket. She took 54 ODI wickets at 21.14, ranking her equal ninth among all Australians.

June Osborne (born 10 June 1953) is a British retired Anglican bishop. From 2017 to 2022, she served as the Bishop of Llandaff in the Church in Wales. Between 2004 and 2017, she served as the Dean of Salisbury, and was the first woman to head one of England's medieval cathedrals.

Early life

Osborne was born on 10 June 1953 in Manchester, England. She began studying law until she felt "the hand of Heaven" and decided to study for the ministry.  She attended Manchester University, where she graduated in sociology, after which she worked as a lay person in parish ministry at St Aldate's Church, Oxford.  She then moved to the administrative staff of the Universities and Colleges Christian Fellowship, where she directed the week-long 'Vocation 78' conference.  This event, attended by 1400 evangelical students from the UK and overseas, aimed to help professionals develop "thorough-going Christian minds" so as to allow their faith to influence them in their work.

From UCCF she moved to Wycliffe Hall, Oxford to undertake ordination training, following a sense of calling to parish ministry: "Women should be prepared to put aside their natural reticence [to] take on full participation in the leadership in the church". She also stated that "the whole structure of ministry needs to be changed so that we do not put anybody in an isolated position at the top as happens at present. It should be a team". She was the first woman to take up a place at the previously all-male college. She also undertook training at St John's College, Nottingham.

Ordained ministry

In 1980, she became a deaconess at St Martin in the Bull Ring, Birmingham. She has also served at St Aldate's Church, Oxford, and in the Old Ford parishes in London.  In the 1980s she was a regular speaker at the Greenbelt Christian music festival. She was made one of the first woman deacons in the Church of England in 1987.

Osborne was ordained to the priesthood in 1994, one of the first women to be ordained in England. There was much discussion at the previous year's Church General Synod as to whether or not to ordain female priests.  The Times attributed Osborne's speech at the synod "for swinging the General Synod vote in favour of female priests".

She moved in the following year to Salisbury, where she served as Canon Treasurer until her appointment as Dean. She was Dean of Salisbury from 1 May 2004 until July 2017. She was the first woman to serve as a Dean at Salisbury Cathedral and the first at any of England's medieval cathedrals. She had served as acting dean since the retirement of her predecessor, Derek Watson, in 2002.

She is interested in interfaith dialogue and, in 2017, participated in the Board of World Religious Leaders for the Elijah Interfaith Institute.

Episcopal ministry

In 2014, after the vote to allow for the consecration of women as bishops, there was speculation that Osborne could become the first female bishop in the Church of England.

On 27 April 2017, it was announced that Osborne would be the next Bishop of Llandaff in the Church in Wales. Her election was confirmed at a Sacred Synod meeting on 14 July 2017, whereby she legally took up her new post. She was consecrated a bishop on 15 July 2017 by John Davies, Bishop of Swansea and Brecon, during a service at Brecon Cathedral. She was installed as the 72nd Bishop of Llandaff during a service at Llandaff Cathedral on 22 July 2017.

In November 2021, the media published allegations of bullying within the diocese of Llandaff. Osborne was accused in a 2020 complaint of bullying the Dean of Llandaff, the Very Reverend Gerwyn Capon. It was reported that preliminary investigations completed in May 2021 suggested that, on the balance of probability, Osborne had a case to answer. In December of that year, a local vicar, alleging a general "culture of fear" in the diocese, called for Osborne to be suspended while the case was considered. The case was dismissed in April 2022, following the withdrawal by the Dean of his complaint. The Dean announced his resignation on 17 May 2022.

In September 2022, it was announced that Osborne would be retiring later that year. A farewell service was held at Llandaff Cathedral on 30 November 2022. She officially retired on 31 December 2022.

Personal life

She is married to Paul Goulding KC, a barrister. They have two children.

From 2006 to 2017 she served as a Deputy Lieutenant for Wiltshire (DL).

Jazeh Tabatabai () (January 17, 1931 – February 9, 2008) was an Iranian avant-garde painter, poet, and sculptor.

Tabatabai received over 10 major international awards for his paintings and sculptures. He was the founder and director of the Iran Modern Art Gallery in Tehran, Iran.

Tabatabai's present fame is mostly due to his creative figures and metal sculptures which he assembled with parts from old machinery and cars. His style is close to the Saqqā-ḵāna School of Art; lion-women and suns are repeating themes in his work. For this reason, he is cited alongside a handful of other influential Iranian artists as a pioneer of the Saqqā-ḵāna School of Art, which took form in the 80s.

Biography

Tabatabai was born on January 17, 1931. He wrote his first story, titled "Sand and Straw", at the age of 12 and subsequently entered other artistic fields. He went on to write and direct such plays as "Withering Blossoms", "Lord Chichi Yanf", "Footstep", and "Mister Muchul", and produced another of his own plays called "Scout Association". In 1947 he published "The Little Boy", a story.

In 1951 Tabatabai earned a diploma from the School of Arts and displayed his art, which was then miniatures at his first art exhibition. Four years later he achieved the position of top student in the Film Direction and Principles of Theatre program at the Iranian College of Literature and produced the play "Sailor's Shirt".

In 1961, he completed his painting courses at the College of Fine Arts and established the Modern Iran Art Gallery, the first art gallery in Iran.

Works

Tabatabai's works can be found in major collections and in many museums around the globe including the Louvre and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Additionally, his works have been displayed in exhibitions in England, India, Italy, Germany, Spain, Greece, Australia, France and the United States.

The Artists' House Khaneh-ye Honarmandan in Tehran held an exhibition of Tabatabai's sculptures at the turn of 2018 and 2019.

Works about Tabatabai

In 1967 Khosrow Sinai directed a film about Tabatabai's work called "Biography". In 1997 ga made another film on the artist's life called "Autumn Road".

Later life

In his later years Tabatabai lived in Spain, spending some time each year in Iran. He died on February 9, 2008, at Tehran's Atieh Hospital at 7 pm, three weeks after his 77th birthday.

is a Japanese animation studio founded by Osamu Tezuka in 1968. It is known for animating notable works such as Marvelous Melmo, the 1980 and 2003 Astro Boy series, and Black Jack. It is also the holder of the intellectual property of Tezuka's works; his son, Makoto Tezuka, currently aims to use the company to extend Tezuka's manga series with new issues and publish posthumous works such as Legend of the Forest.

Their logo is a blue silhouette of Astro Boy's head as a mascot.

History
In 1961, Osamu Tezuka established Osamu Tezuka Mushi Production as a video and animation production unit. It was officially incorporated as Mushi Productions Co., Ltd., the following year. Tezuka served as acting director of the company until 1968, when he left to start another animation studio, Tezuka Productions Co., Ltd., as a spun-off division of Mushi Productions dedicated to manga production and copyright management.

In 1970, Tezuka moved the headquarters of Tezuka Productions to the second and third floors of a cafe business across from Fujimidai Station in Nerima. The second floor was reserved for employee offices and production assistants, while the third floor was Tezuka's own workspace and office. For the first few years, the studio took sub-contracted animation work from Mushi Production, which included a variety of animated shorts and a full television series, Fushigi na Merumo (Marvelous Melmo), which was broadcast by TBS for 26 episodes from October 1971 to March 1972. After Mushi Production filed for bankruptcy in 1973, Tezuka Productions took on animation production full-time along with its manga and copyright businesses and began growing rapidly as an animation studio. In 1976, Tezuka Productions relocated again to the  in Takadanobaba, Shinjuku.

From 1980 to 1981, Tezuka Productions produced a remake for Astro Boy that ran for 52 episodes on Nippon TV. Tezuka had been dissatisfied with the first Astro Boy series produced at Mushi Production, and had wanted to create a remake for the series since 1974.

In 2007, Tezuka Productions began a multi-year project to digitize and color all of Tezuka's published manga series, comprising over 150,000 pages. Tezuka's former personal assistants reproduced the color charts that they originally used for all-color pieces while Tezuka was still producing series, in order to ensure that the new coloring process remained faithful to the colors used in Tezuka's time.

In 2008, Tezuka's son, Makoto, announced that he would complete Legend of the Forest, his father's final unfinished work, at Tezuka Productions. The film was completed in 2014, premiering at the 2014 Hiroshima International Animation Festival in August, and in North America at the Japan Society in New York City on February 21, 2015.

Black Pyramid Rock is an island nature reserve, with an area of 40 ha, in Bass Strait, south-eastern Australia. It is part of Tasmania’s Hunter Island Group which lies between north-west Tasmania and King Island. It is part of the Albatross Island and Black Pyramid Rock Important Bird Area. It is notable for its Australasian gannet colony which, at over 12,000 pairs, is the largest in Tasmania and supports about 20% of the world population of the species.

Fauna
Apart from the gannets, breeding seabirds and shorebirds include little penguin, short-tailed shearwater, fairy prion (up to 340,000 breeding pairs), common diving-petrel (up to 200,000 breeding pairs), Pacific gull, silver gull and sooty oystercatcher.  The only reptile recorded is White's skink.  The island is used occasionally as a haul-out site by Australian fur seals.

Geology
Black Pyramid Rock is a Tertiary basaltic volcanic rocks.

Project Euler (named after Leonhard Euler) is a website dedicated to a series of computational problems intended to be solved with computer programs. The project attracts graduates and students interested in mathematics and computer programming.  Since its creation in 2001 by Colin Hughes, Project Euler has gained notability and popularity worldwide. It includes over 850 problems as of 12 August 2023, with a new one added approximately every week. Problems are of varying difficulty, but each is solvable in less than a minute of CPU time using an efficient algorithm on a modestly powered computer.

Features of the site
A forum specific to each question may be viewed after the user has correctly answered the given question. Problems can be sorted on ID, number solved and difficulty. Participants can track their progress through achievement levels based on the number of problems solved. A new level is reached for every 25 problems solved. Special awards exist for solving special combinations of problems. For instance, there is an award for solving fifty prime numbered problems. A special "Eulerians" level exists to track achievement based on the fastest fifty solvers of recent problems so that newer members can compete without solving older problems.

Example problem and solutions
The first Project Euler problem is Multiples of 3 and 5
If we list all the natural numbers below 10 that are multiples of 3 or 5, we get 3, 5, 6 and 9. The sum of these multiples is 23.

Find the sum of all the multiples of 3 or 5 below 1000.

Although this problem is much simpler than the typical problem, it serves to illustrate the potential difference that an efficient algorithm makes. The brute-force algorithm examines every natural number less than 1000 and keeps a running sum of those meeting the criteria. This method is simple to implement, as shown by the following pseudocode:

 total := 0
 for NUM from 1 through 999 do
     if NUM mod 3 = 0 or NUM mod 5 = 0 then
         total := total + NUM
 return total

For harder problems, it becomes increasingly important to find an efficient algorithm. For this problem, we can reduce 1000 operations to a few by using the inclusion–exclusion principle and a closed-form summation formula, as follows. Let  denote the sum of multiples of  below . Then we have:

In big O notation, the brute-force algorithm is  and the efficient algorithm is  (assuming constant time arithmetic operations).

Mike Sgroi (born August 14, 1978) is a former Canadian professional ice hockey player. Sgroi last played for the Orlando Solar Bears of the ECHL, the 28th team of his professional career.

Career

Early career
In August 2005, Sgroi participated in the Battle of the Hockey Enforcers in Prince George, British Columbia, a one night made-for-TV event that featured enforcers from various minor leagues (largely Quebec's LNAH) fighting on-ice in full equipment, with Sgroi standing out as the only participant in the field that was currently on an AHL roster. In the group stage, Sgroi defeated NHL veteran Jason Simon and Jason Bone by TKO and unanimous decision respectively, before earning a forfeit win over John Hewitt due to injury. After winning the group, Sgroi defeated Steve Reid by TKO in the semifinals before losing to Dean Mayrand by split decision in the finals.

2007–08
During the 2007–08 ECHL season, Sgroi was traded from Pensacola for Michael Cohen. Later that year, Sgroi set a career high in goals with 25 total, which quickly become a fan favorite in Johnstown.

2008–09
On January 24, 2008, Sgroi was traded to the Utah Grizzlies for future considerations. However, it was short-lived, as Sgroi only played one game with the Grizzlies before he was traded to the Elmira Jackals. After he was traded twice in one week, this alerted clubs to his availability. There were two clubs however that were said to be very interested in Sgroi's services, these were Coventry Blaze and Sheffield Steelers, both of whom play in the top league in the United Kingdom. After a few weeks their interest was said to have died down.

2009–10
Sgroi started the season in training camp with the Rochester Americans of the AHL. On September 28, 2009, Sgroi was cut from Amerks camp. On November 2, 2009, Sgroi signed a one-year contract with the Laredo Bucks of the CHL and wore jersey #22. After a month with the team, Sgroi was waived by the Bucks on December 10, 2009.

On January 26, 2010, the Elite Ice Hockey League Club Sheffield Steelers announced that they have signed Sgroi to a contract. To make room for him, the Steelers released forward Brad Cruikshank. Despite putting up 18 points in 20 games and providing the role of enforcer for the Steelers, the Steelers announced on May 20, 2010 that Sgroi would not be returning to the team.

On October 22, 2010, the Colorado Eagles of the Central Hockey League signed Sgroi to a contract.

2011–12
On August 18, 2011, the Evansville IceMen of the Central Hockey League signed Sgroi to a contract.

2012–13
Sgroi signed a one-year contract with the CHL's Rapid City Rush on July 19, 2012. Sgroi was released by the Rush on October 21, 2012.  He was later signed by the Orlando Solar Bears of the ECHL. Sgroi has been on and off of the Solar Bears' roster, having been signed and released three separate times within his two months with the team, most recently been released on March 13, 2013.

Sgroi retired from professional hockey at the end of the 2016-17 ECHL season.

Personal
Sgroi is also a mixed martial arts fighter who teaches muay thai in the offseason. According to an Elmira Jackals press release, Sgroi started his mixed martial arts career 5–0.
Sgroi also enjoys playing poker in his offtime and has competed in tournaments. He once finished 27th out of 780 players in a World Series of Poker event
Sgroi appears in the 2010 EA Sports video game NHL Slapshot. He is not assigned to a team, but can be found on the game's free agent list.
Sgroi makes his home in Orlando, Florida.

"Le Jerk !" is a 1989 song recorded by French musician Thierry Hazard. It is the first single from his debut album Pop Music and was one of the 1990 summer hits in France. It is also Hazard's signature song, although he has released other successful songs.

Background
"Le Jerk !" was written by Hazard, ans produced by Daniel Glikmans. It was first released as a single in 1989, but passed unnoticed, as well as for the previous single, "Poupée psychédélique", in 1988, but was re-released the following year, at the start of the summer. The song's title refers to a 1970s popular dance and was also used for Hazard's best of album, Le Jerk, released in July 2001. The single's cover was made by French designer Serge Clerc. The role of Roger is played by Christophe Salengro, a French actor and dancer.

Lyrics and music
"Le Jerk !" was a huge success in the French discothèques. Elia Habib, a specialist of the French charts, considers that this is due to the "modern and lively writing" of the song. Lyrically, it deals with the story of two characters, named Joséphine and Roger, who have a routine life (she works as a secretary, he works in a factory). Both are eagerly awaiting the end of each day to take the bus to go dancing the jerk at 'La Boîte à Gogos'. There, they meet, fall in love, get married and give birth to quadruplets, named Gustave, Alphonse, Arthur and Philibert. Thus, the jerk had saved from their monotonous universe and made them able to discover love.

The song has been accused of plagiarism by the publisher of Jean-Jacques Goldman, as the song's refrain is similar to that of "Quand la musique est bonne", but the court action was cancelled.

Two black female vocalists also participate in the chorus and appear in the music video.

Chart performance
In France, the single debuted at number 38 on the chart edition of 16 June 1990, almost did not stop to climb on the chart every week and eventually reached a peak of number two on 27 October, in his 20th week of presence, just behind UB40's hit "Kingston Town". It remained for 17 weeks in the top ten and 27 weeks on the chart, making the song one of the most successful hits of the year. The single was certified Gold disc by the Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique, the French certifier, for over 400,000 copies sold.

On the European Hot 100 Singles, "Le Jerk !" debuted at number 97 on 14 July 1990, reached a peak of number 14 in the 18th week and fell off the top 100 after 23 weeks of presence. It ranked at number 50 on the year-end chart.

Obsidian Energy Ltd. (previously known as Penn West Exploration Ltd., Penn West Petroleum and Penn West Energy Trust) is a mid-sized Canadian oil and natural gas production company based in Calgary, Alberta.

For a while it was one of the S&P/TSX 60, the sixty largest companies on the Toronto Stock Exchange. From 2005–2011 it was a Canadian royalty trust (CANROY), and reached a peak market capitalization in January 2008 of approximately US $9.5 billion. In the 2012 Forbes Global 2000, Penn West Petroleum, Obsidian Energy's predecessor, was ranked as the 1086th largest public company in the world.

The company experienced operational and financial difficulties when crude oil prices fell significantly in 2014. As a result, the company underwent a significant restructuring with the majority of the assets sold over the next two years to reduce debt.

Obsidian's oil and gas fields are located in Alberta, along the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin, a region which is one of the world's largest petroleum reserves. Production comes from three key areas in Alberta: the Pembina Cardium, the Peace River oil sands, and the Alberta Viking. Total production in 2017 is expected to average approximately 31,000 bbl equivalent per day.

On 26 June 2017, Penn West Petroleum changed its name to Obsidian Energy.

Current operations
The formal name change from Penn West Petroleum Ltd. (TSX – PWT; NYSE – PWE) to Obsidian Energy Ltd.  (TSX – OBE; NYSE – OBE) took place on June 26, 2017 at the shareholders meeting. The board of directors was elected with David L. French as CEO and board members including George H. Brookman, John Brydson, Raymond D. Crossley, David L. French, William A. Friley, Richard L. George, Maureen Cormier Jackson, and Jay W. Thornton.

In 2017, the 2017 Capex budget for Obsidian was C$160 million. In spite of the pressure from the low price of oil in general and the record low prices of Canada's heavy oil, benchmark Western Canadian Select (WCS), which is complicated by the lack of pipeline capacity, Obsidian's is "heavily weighted towards gas which resulted in relatively small impact from WCS differentials".

By December 2017, Obsidian set a target production for 2018 at 31,500 boe/d. with heavy oil accounting for about 20% of Obisidian's production. Obsidian's heavy oil, because of its specifications, has a bigger discount than the benchmark Western Canadian Select (WCS).

History

In 1995 Penn West, then an independent exploration and production company called Penn West Petroleum Ltd, was the operator and licensee of a well in Saddle Hills Field, Alberta, where they held rights to an entire DSU.

In May 2005, Penn West under the new trade name "Penn West Energy Trust" operated as a Canadian royalty trust (CANROY). According to a 2004 article in The New York Times, the Canadian royalty trusts (CANROY) were "much larger, both in production and in market capitalization", than those in the United States. They produce about 11 percent of the oil and 23 percent of the natural gas in Canada and have a combined market capitalization of 34 billion Canadian dollars, or about $27 billion." Penn West was already one of the top ten Canadian oil and gas companies in terms of after tax profits from 2003 through 2007. Penn West Petroleum (PWT) was a Canadian royalty trust (CANROY) from 2005–2011, and as such did not pay federal income taxes.

Calgary-based Penn West Energy Trust acquired publicly-traded trust companies—Petrofund Energy Trust in June 2006, Canetic Resources Trust, a "smaller rival" for $3.6-billion in 2007, Vault Energy Trust in January 2008, and Endev Energy Inc. in July 2008. According to a 2007 CBC News article, Penn West became the largest oil and gas energy trust in North America after its acquisition of Canetic.

On January 1, 2011, the government cracked down on Penn West, one of a group of oil and gas producers, who from 2005 to 2011, through Canadian royalty trusts (CANROYs), did not pay "federal income taxes if they distributed their income to shareholders."

In response to the government crackdown, in January 2011, Penn West converted from a CANROY to a conventional corporation, a "newly-incorporated entity named Penn West Petroleum Ltd." From 2012 to June 2014, Penn West cut back its work force by almost 50%.

The 2013 CBR company listings reported that by 2012, Penn West Petroleum Ltd. was operated as Penn West Exploration, "engaged in the business of acquiring, developing, exploiting and holding interests in petroleum and natural gas properties and assets". The board of directors in the fiscal year 2013 included David E. Roberts as President & CEO and David A. Dyck as Senior Vice President & CFO. In July 2014, Dyck had discovered and reported irregularities in the company's accounting practices that "misclassified nearly $300-million in expenses."

Penn West reported that preliminary findings revealed irregularities totaling "$381-million in 2013 and 2012." Penn West notified Canadian and U.S. regulators about the irregularities and expanded their own investigation to review results going back to 2007. Lawsuits tied to the accounting irregularities include those in Canada and a class action lawsuit in the United States. According to CBC News, by the end of July 2014, independent auditors contracted by Penn West to review its books uncovered that "$70 million worth of operating expenses that were reclassified as capital expenditures on things like property, plant and equipment in fiscal 2013; $110 million of similar expenses incorrectly classified in fiscal 2012; $100 million in operating expenses that were incorrectly reclassified as royalty expense" in 2012 and 2013. The 2012, 2013, and 2014 financial statements were audited by KPMG who were replaced by Ernst & Young (EY) for the audit of the 2015 financial statements.

Penn West's profit in the second quarter of 2014 was $143-million, or 29 cents per share. Rick George who was Suncor's CEO from 1991 to 2012, served as Penn West's CEO from 2013 to 2014. The company laid off 1350 of its 2350 employees since Dave Roberts became CEO.

According to a May 2015 CBC News article, at their May 2015 annual general meeting, Penn West's chair, Richard George, reassured shareholders of the company's viability in spite of a drop of 80% in the value of their shares in 2014/2015 as it struggled with low WTI benchmark prices of $60 US a barrel. At that time the company was facing "six different lawsuits from investors in Canada and one consolidated lawsuit in the United States." In response to the decline in oil prices, on September 2, 2015, Penn West announced cuts of about 400 full-time employees and contractors mainly from the company's headquarters in Calgary which represents 35 per cent of the total workforce at Penn West. Penn West also suspended "dividend payments to its shareholders after its next payment in October [2015] and reduc[ed] compensation for its board of directors."

Deep disposal well and Peach River earthquakes
On March 23, 2023, the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) issued an environmental protection order to Obsidian following months of investigation into three earthquakes that occurred near Obsidian's deep disposal Injection well  southeast of Peace River Peace River, Alberta, a town of 6,000 in northwest Alberta. The magnitude of the first earthquake was 5.6,  the second on March 9, 2023which was more shallowwas a magnitude 3.2, and the third on a March 16, which occurred near the site of the first earthquake, was a magnitude 5. A timeline released in late March, conducted by AER's Geological Survey (AGS), says that there was a "clear" connection between the cluster of "large, felt seismicity" and the deep well disposal injections into the Leduc Formation. AGS scientists said that this recurrence of earthquakes is more typical of "induced"as opposed to naturalseismicity. The AGS timeline was informed by scientific data about aftershocks and underground strata collected from sensors placed around the earthquake sites. A third party analysed this data. Further evidence, confirming the AGS timeline, was also collected through independent research undertaken by a team of seismologists from Stanford University, the University of Alberta and Natural Resources Canada.

The Dunfermline Press and West of Fife Advertiser (commonly known as the Dunfermline Press in Scotland and simply The Press in the Dunfermline area) is a weekly Scottish tabloid newspaper, based in Dunfermline, Fife.

History
The Dunfermline Press was founded in 1859 by the Romanes family. The family owned several other local newspapers, including the Border Telegraph and Stirling News and increased their portfolio by 14 when taking over Berkshire Regional Newspapers from Trinity Mirror. In 2005 the group acquired its first company without newspapers when it bought Your Radio FM.

With average sales of 21,852 the newspaper was read by more people in the Dunfermline area than the other quality newspapers combined. When included with the other local newspapers owned and published by the Dunfermine Press Group, such as the Central Fife Times and the Fife and Kinross Extra, the Dunfermline Press Group claim to reach over 100,000 readers in East Central Scotland.

Dunfermline Press went into receivership after the death of owner Deirdre Romanes and were acquired by management and Lloyds Bank under the name Romanes Media in 2012. Newsquest acquired Romanes Media in 2015.

Historical copies of the Dunfermline Press, dating back to 1859, are available to search and view in digitised form at the British Newspaper Archive.

Content

Being a local newspaper, the Dunfermline Press focuses on local issues (such as the removal of tolls at the Forth Road Bridge and the fortunes of local sports teams, mainly Dunfermline Athletic Football Club). One page is normally devoted to letters to the editor, while readers also air their views in small "viewpoints" across several pages. Gossip with a humorous slant is provided by an anonymous contributor known as "Observer". The crossword that used to be on the back page, underneath the Sports headlines was removed in early 2010, which proved unpopular with readers.

The Economic Stimulus Act of 2008 () was an Act of Congress providing for several kinds of economic stimuli intended to boost the United States economy in 2008 and to avert a recession, or ameliorate economic conditions. The stimulus package was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives on January 29, 2008, and in a slightly different version by the U.S. Senate on February 7, 2008. The Senate version was then approved in the House the same day. It was signed into law on February 13, 2008, by President George W. Bush with the support of both Democratic and Republican lawmakers. The law provides for tax rebates to low- and middle-income U.S. taxpayers, tax incentives to stimulate business investment, and an increase in the limits imposed on mortgages eligible for purchase by government-sponsored enterprises (e.g. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac). The total cost of this bill was projected at $152 billion for 2008.

Tax rebates
Tax rebates that were created by the law were paid to individual U.S. taxpayers during 2008. Most taxpayers below the income limit received a rebate of at least $300 per person ($600 for married couples filing jointly). Eligible taxpayers received, along with their individual payment, $300 per dependent child under the age of 17. The payment was equal to the payer's net income tax liability, but could not exceed $600 (for a single person) or $1200 (married couple filing jointly). Net liability can be found in these locations:
Form 1040: line 57 plus line 52
Form 1040A: Line 35 plus line 32
Form 1040EZ: line 10

Those with no net tax liability were still eligible to receive a rebate, provided, they met minimum qualifying income of $3,000 per year. Rebates were phased out for taxpayers with adjusted gross incomes greater than $75,000 ($150,000 for couples filing jointly) in 2007.  For taxpayers with incomes greater than $75,000, rebates were reduced at a rate of 5% of the income above this limit. Individuals who were claimed as dependents by another taxpayer were not eligible for the rebates.

The $3,000 of qualifying income included earned income (e.g., wages, self-employment income, Social Security), however Supplemental Security Income did not count as qualifying income for the stimulus payment.  Also, low-income workers were required to file a return to receive the payment, even if they would not be required to file for income tax purposes.

Some taxpayers who exceeded the income limits, but had qualifying children, still received a rebate. For example, a single parent whose 2007 adjusted gross income was $90,000, paid more than $600 in 2007 taxes and had two qualifying children received a rebate of $450. The IRS added together a $600 rebate for the parent and $600 for the two children to get $1,200, then subtracted the phaseout reduction of $750 ($50 for each $1,000 income above $75,000) to get $450.  According to the IRS, the stimulus payment did not reduce taxpayers' 2008 refunds or increase the amount owed when filing 2008 returns.

The payment schedule was based on whether the taxpayer's 2007 tax return listed direct deposit information as well as the last two digits of the social security number of the tax return's main filer, with direct deposits being sent between May 2 and May 16, and paper checks being sent between May 16 and July 11.  On April 25, 2008, President Bush announced that the rebates would start going out on April 28, 2008 and the paper checks would be sent out starting on March 28, earlier than previously announced by the IRS.

Taxpayers who used direct deposit for their refunds received the stimulus payment that same way, provided they had not:
 Taken out a refund anticipation loan or "rapid refund";
 Used a service such as TurboTax and had the transmission fees taken out of the refund amount;
 Had their refund deposited across two accounts;
 Allowed their tax preparer (such as a CPA) to deduct their fee from the refund amount.
If any of these scenarios applied, the payment was sent as a paper check through U.S. mail.

Rationale
As 2008 began, economic indicators suggested an increased risk of recession. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke testified before Congress that quick action was needed to stimulate the economy through targeted government spending and tax incentives. Congress moved rapidly to pass such legislation. The legislation was designed to stimulate spending by businesses and consumers during 2008.  The hope was that the targeted individual tax rebates would boost consumer spending and that targeted tax incentives would boost business spending.

Lawmakers raised the limits on conforming mortgages eligible for government insurance and GSE purchase in response to the subprime mortgage crisis. This crisis had resulted in a widespread credit crunch by late 2007. The credit crunch led to a reluctance by lenders to issue so-called jumbo mortgages for the purchase of houses that exceeded the FHA and GSE limits. The United States housing bubble had pushed house prices above those limits in many areas of the country.  As interest rates rose for jumbo mortgages, fewer buyers could afford them, and house prices were being forced down toward the limits for conforming mortgages. By raising those limits, lawmakers hoped to slow or halt the decline in house prices, which threatened the financial well-being of homeowners, banks and other financial entities holding jumbo mortgages.

The FHA loan limits also went up with the stimulus package on March 6.  The loan limit package is called "FHA Forward."

Impact

A December 2009 study found that only about one-third of the tax rebate was spent, providing only a modest amount of stimulus.

Another study compared the spending patterns of households that received their stimulus payments early on with the spending of patterns of households who had not yet received their payments.  The researchers found that the stimulus checks increased spending for the typical family by 3.5% when the rebate arrived, boosting overall nondurable consumption by 2.4% in the second quarter of 2008.  The study concludes that the rebate payments for U.S. households were an effective stimulus method by increasing disposable income despite the predictions of certain economic theories such as the permanent income hypothesis.

Immigration restrictions
Taxpayers who filed their returns jointly were not eligible for payment if any of the persons on the tax return filed with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) instead of a social security number. For example, if a family of five had one parent with an ITIN, no money is payable to any member of the family, including US citizens with valid social security numbers. The rule was added after the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), an anti-immigration organization with ties to white nationalism, lobbied the Senate for the change. The amendment was proposed by Senator John Ensign of Nevada.

As a result, many legal resident aliens and overseas military families did not receive any payment. US citizens who did not receive payments included those who filed a joint tax return for 2007 and included an individual taxpayer identification number, or ITIN, on the document. In this case the entire family was ineligible for the economic stimulus rebate President Bush announced in 2008.  At least one million legal residents and tens of thousands of troops were affected by the law, which was designed to keep illegal immigrants from getting stimulus checks.

Sgula () is a moshav in south-central Israel. North of Kiryat Gat, it falls under the jurisdiction of Yoav Regional Council. In  it had a population of 717.

History
The moshav was founded in 1953 by native Israelis on land that had belonged to the Palestinian village of Summeil, which was depopulated in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War. The name may be based on a verse in Exodus (19:5) where the word segula is used in the sense of "special treasure" or jewel: "Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my special treasure (sgula)."

Tsada (earlier (before 1985) written Tsadha)  is a relatively big village 8 km North of Paphos city center. Although the proximity between them, the  612 m elevation difference gives to the Tsada area a totally different identity. It receives  of rainfall annually. The climate is much cooler all year long (during  the hot and humid summers in Paphos the temperature gap can reach 6 °C) and it also is one of the few areas in the Paphos District that snows almost every year by the end of January. Tsada was the home village of EOKA national hero Evagoras Pallikarides. Although the history of the village can be counted 500 years ago, there is no significant architectural character, and only a few residences were reconstructed in the traditional way. The Melisovouno hill between Tsada and Koili village hosts Paphos television and radio antenna.

In Tsada, the climate is warm and temperate. The winter months are much rainier than the summer months in Tsada. This location is classified as Csa by Köppen Climate Classification. Situated at an altitude of 605 meters, in a landscape overlooking the sea and a climate that favors the cultivation of vines, grain, carob trees, olive trees, walnuts, almonds and many fruit trees, Tsada of the approximately 1,000 inhabitants is one of the “villages of Minthi“, as well as one of the largest ampelochoria (vine growing villages of Cyprus) in the area. Together with Episkopi of Paphos, Kallepia and the Minthis Hills tourist project, they are essentially a community “cooperative” under a common umbrella with the mutual goal to highlight their history, tradition and their unique natural environment. As a matter of fact, these villages have released a guide with tourist information and hiking trails in the Ezousa valley, showcasing the place as a rural tourism area.

Climate

Landmarks
There is a 12th-century chapel just outside the village that used to be a part of a monastery. Nowadays, "Stavros tis Minthis" is right next to an 18-hole golf course, Minthis Hills, the first ever created in Cyprus.  Here a resort will be created.
To the west of the village stands the 613m Tsiárta mountain.

Transportation
Tsada lies next to a transportation hub linking most of Paphos district's villages. It is next to the current route from Paphos to Polis, and to the main route towards traditional villages like Kallepia and Choulou. There is a bus connection to both Paphos and the Polis − Lachi area on a daily basis. By 2010 Tsada will be accessible via the A7 which is planned to give Polis a Motorway link. Moutti Tou Naki street is one of the busiest arteries of the village.

Note: the name Lancangosaurus is mistakenly treated as a nomen nudum synonymous with Datousaurus (because Dong et al. 1983 believed it to be conspecific with Datousaurus). However, it is actually an early spelling variant of another nomen nudum, Lancangjiangosaurus.

Remarks on newly named birds

 Palaeopteryx thomsoni Jensen, 1981. is most probably not a bird but perhaps a small dinosaur, it is best treated as a taxon non avium.
 Plegadis pharangites Olson, 1981. is a new name for Plegadis gracilis Miller et Bowman, 1956, preoccupied by Plegadis gracilis (Lydekker, 1891), described as Milnea gracilis Lydekker, 1891 and transferred to the genus Plegadis Kaup, 1829 by Cheneval, 1984.
