The synchronous grid of Continental Europe (also known as Continental Synchronous Area; formerly known as the UCTE grid) is the largest synchronous electrical grid (by connected power) in the world. It is interconnected as a single phase-locked  mains frequency electricity grid that supplies over  customers in , including most of the European Union. In 2009,  of production capacity was connected to the grid, providing approximately  of operating reserve margin. The transmission system operators operating this grid formed the Union for the Coordination of Transmission of Electricity (UCTE), now part of the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E).

Area

The synchronous grid of Continental Europe covers territory of the ENTSO-E Continental Europe regional group and some neighboring countries not involved in the ENTSO-E. The synchronous grid includes part or all of Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark (western part), France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Montenegro, the Netherlands, North Macedonia, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, and Switzerland as a members of the ENTSO-E Continental Europe regional group. In addition to the ENTSO-E members, the small west electricity island of Ukraine is synchronized with the grid of Continental Europe. Albania is operating the national grid synchronously with the synchronous grid of Continental Europe. The grids of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia are synchronised with the European grid through the Gibraltar AC link and form the SWMB. In April 2015, the grid of Turkey was synchronized with the European grid.

Although synchronous, some countries operate in a near island mode, with low connectivity to other countries. The European Commission considers high connectivity to be beneficial, and has listed several interconnection projects as Projects of Common Interest. However, the national grids must also be upgraded to handle increased power flows if the values of a free energy market are to be realised in the EU.

On 16 March 2022, during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the ENTSO-E set up synchronisation with the networks of Ukraine and Moldova on an emergency basis to provide external support for the power supply in those countries. (Plans for Ukraine to shift from the Russian grid to the European grid were already in progress, with an experimental disconnect from the Russian grid underway when the invasion occurred.)  Power exchange and integration gradually increased, and by August 2022, 400—700 MW were sent from Ukraine to Eastern parts of EU.

List of electricity interconnection levels

Electricity interconnection as percentage (EIL = electricity interconnection level) of installed electricity production capacity in 2014; the EU goal of at least 10% for 2020, and 15% for 2030.

Alternative formulas for calculating interconnection levels are based on peak load instead of installed capacity.

Some border transmissions, particularly around the Alps, have both high utilization rate and high price difference, implying that further transmission would be beneficial.

Interconnections

The British grid is not synchronized with the Continental Europe frequency, but it is interconnected using high-voltage direct current (HVDC) via the HVDC Cross-Channel, BritNed, Nemo Link, IFA-2 and ElecLink links. In 2014, before Nemo Link, IFA-2, ElecLink and North Sea Link became operational, the United Kingdom's electricity interconnection level was 6%.

The networks of Ireland and Northern Ireland form the ENTSO-E Irish regional group, which is not yet interconnected with the Continental Europe grid, but has DC interconnections with the British network through the HVDC Moyle Interconnector and the East–West Interconnector.

Similarly, the Nordic regional group of ENTSO-E (former NORDEL), composed of Norway, Sweden, Finland and the eastern part of Denmark (Zealand with islands and Bornholm), is not synchronized with the Continental Europe, but has a number of non-synchronous DC connections with the Continental Europe grid. Gotland is not synchronized with the Swedish mainland, as it is connected by HVDC.

The network of ENTSO-E Baltic regional group, composed of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, currently part of the IPS/UPS system, is interconnected with the Nordic grid at an electricity interconnection level of 10% through the HVDC Estlink cables and NordBalt cable, which is functioning since 2015. The Baltics are also connected with the Continental Europe grid through the Lithuania–Poland interconnection.

The networks of Iceland and Cyprus are not yet interconnected with the other grids. Malta is connected up to 35% via the Malta-Sicily interconnector, commissioned in 2015.

Future extension plans
ENTSO-E is studying the following extensions:
 Tunisia–Libya synchronous connection: to synchronise the Continental Europe with Libya, Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon (the latter five countries constitute the SEMB of the Mediterranean Electricity Ring project), in addition to others projects in the Mediterranean sea not necessarily relying on a synchronous connection, such as:
 EuroAsia Interconnector HVDC project between Greece, Cyprus, and Israel,
 DESERTEC concept.
 ENTSO-E Baltic regional group synchronous extension: to disconnect only these networks from the IPS/UPS system and synchronously interconnect them to the synchronized grid of Central Europe. On 22 April 2023 a trial was scheduled in the Baltic states to test the infrastructure and operate for a day outside of IPS/UPS BRELL circle. Latvia and Estonia withdrew from testing, while Lithuania successfully finished the trial and concluded that country is ready to join Synchronous grid of Continental Europe in 2024. Estonia and Latvia proposed the synchronisation with European grid to be delayed to 2025 due lack of infrastructure.
 ENTSO-E Nordic regional group synchronous extension.
 Turkey-Iraq synchronous interconnection: in the past the Armenia and Turkmenistan networks were part of the Soviet unified system, but currently they are connected to the Iran grid.

Rookes Evelyn Bell Crompton, CB, FRS (31 May 1845 – 15 February 1940) was a British electrical engineer, industrialist and inventor. He was a pioneer of electric lighting and public electricity supply systems. The company he formed, Crompton & Co., was one of the world's first large-scale manufacturers of electrical equipment. He was also an early campaigner for an international standard for electrical systems. He was involved with both the practical and academic sides of his discipline, being a founder member of the International Electrotechnical Commission and twice president of the Institution of Electrical Engineers. He was a fellow of the Royal Society and a founder member of the Royal Automobile Club.

Early life
Evelyn Crompton was born at Sion Hill, near Thirsk, Yorkshire, one of five children. From an early age he was interested in machines and engineering. His autobiography tells how a trip to the Great Exhibition aged 6 had a profound impact on him:

His schooling started at Sharow, near Ripon in Yorkshire, along with 19 other boys, aged between 7 and 15. In 1856 he went to school at Elstree, and then on to Harrow (1858–60).

Early life and education

Crompton's education was interrupted by the outbreak of the Crimean War in 1854 and he was keen to see action, despite his young age. In mid-1856, after the conclusion of the war, he travelled to the Crimea on HMS Dragon and visited his brother in what had been the front line. Thereafter, he was awarded British Crimean War Medal and Sebastopol Clasp.

After the Crimea, Crompton returned to Britain and went to Harrow School. He eschewed the school's highly classical education, decided to study extra mathematics. He built his own static electricity generator and performed experiments with Leyden Jars. During a summer holiday, he designed and built a road-going steam tractor called Bluebell.

From Harrow Crompton obtained a placement at the Doncaster Works of the Great Northern Railway where he received theoretical education and practical experience in engineering. However Crompton still favoured the military life and in 1864 joined the British Army and served in the Rifle Brigade in India. Whilst there, he witnessed the work of the Royal Engineers building narrow gauge railways and developed a deep interest in steam traction. He had Bluebell shipped to him from Britain and convinced his superiors to adopt traction engines and steam lorries for transporting cargo instead of bullock-drawn carts. He designed some of the military steam wagons himself.

Crompton & Co.
Crompton returned from India in 1875 and decided to pursue his interest in engineering. He became a partner and manager at T.H.P. Dennis & Co., an engineering company building agricultural mills and heating plant in Chelmsford. In this capacity, and as a family favour, he designed a new mechanical foundry for an iron and steel business owned by his brother. To maximise efficiency, the mill was to run day and night, requiring the best possible lighting. Crompton designed and oversaw the installation of an arc lamp system. He even designed his own improvements to the dynamo built by Emil Bürgin in Switzerland.

Crompton became convinced of the future of electric lighting, and at the same time saw several faults in the French-developed arc lamps then in use. He developed his own design which gave a much brighter and steadier light than existing types. His faith in his design was such that he bought out T.H.P. Dennis and in 1878 Crompton & Co. was formed to manufacture, sell and install Crompton's lamp. His reputation quickly spread, to the extent that when Joseph Swan was developing his incandescent light bulb, he consulted Crompton over its design. Soon Crompton was building Swan's light bulb under license and the company dominated the British lighting market.

By 1881, the company's range had included to cover complete electrical systems. Crompton designed and manufactured dynamos, switchgear, circuit breakers, motors and electric meters, as well as lamps. Crompton gave demonstrations of his lamps at highly public events such as the Henley Regatta and at the Alexandra Palace. He installed lights at Windsor Castle and King's Cross station as well numerous country houses, factories, tram networks, railway yards and docks. Foreign jobs included lighting the Vienna State Opera, which became the world's first theatre to be lit by electricity.

In 1887 Crompton designed and installed one of the world's first public electricity supplies using a centralised power station. Installed on the Kensington Gardens estate in London, 7 steam engines coupled to Crompton dynamos supplied power from a cavern. The success of this installation led to numerous orders for similar systems worldwide. Crompton supplied equipment throughout the British Empire, with power stations being built as far aways as Australia, which received its first Crompton lighting plant in 1887. In 1899, the company installed a generator set in a Calcutta hotel, producing India's first ever electricity supply. India became a significant market for Crompton & Co., and he appointed an agent in Calcutta to manage his business in the subcontinent. Similar subsidiaries were later founded worldwide.

Crompton kept a very 'hands on' approach to his business. In 1895 a fire broke out in a power station in London that his company had installed and that was close to his own home. He rushed to the scene and helped workers to try to contain the blaze and prevent it reaching some tanks of fuel oil. As the fire continued to spread, he went back to his home and helped man-handle firehoses through his front door, across his floors and out the back windows, which faced out to the rear of the power station. He continued to help fight the fire, despite receiving several electric shocks and mild burns from a flooded battery bank.
At the site of the former Crompton Parkinson Works (later Marconi and E2V) at Writtle Road in Chelmsford, the Crompton Building still exists, although it is now used an NHS surgery, pharmacist & residential flats.  The housing development that is located on part of the former works has roads named Rookes Crescent, Evelyn Place and Crompton Street.  There are numerous stone plaques in the buildings which record the achievements of Crompton and others.  Nearby, there is also road named Cromar Way, which derives its name from a contraction of CROmpton and MARconi.

Volunteers and the Boer War
When the Electrical Engineers, Royal Engineers (Volunteers) was formed in 1897, Crompton became Commanding Officer with the rank of major. He designed a range of searchlights for military use, ranging from small tripod-mounted types to large fixed designs using his own arc lamp design. Early in the Second Boer War, Colonel Robert Baden-Powell improvised searchlights to deter night attacks during the Siege of Mafeking. Soon afterward Crompton led a detachment of the Electrical Engineers Volunteers to South Africa where they operated electric searchlights, the first use of such equipment by the Royal Engineers on campaign. The detachment served from April to October 1900 in the Transvaal and Orange Free State. Crompton was promoted to lieutenant-colonel, mentioned in dispatches, made a Companion of the Bath for his efforts and was later given the honorary rank of colonel. Crompton continued as CO of the London Division of the Electrical Engineers Volunteers, and its successor the London Electrical Engineers, RE. He retired from the Territorial Force in 1910, but was appointed Honorary Colonel of the London Electrical Engineers in 1911, and of its successor, 27th (London Electrical Engineers) Battalion, RE, in 1923.

Standardisation

After the war, Crompton became concerned by the large range of different standards and systems used by electrical engineering companies and scientists. Many companies had entered the market in the 1890s and all chose their own settings for voltage, frequency, current and even the symbols used on circuit diagrams. Adjacent buildings would have totally incompatible electrical systems simply because they had been fitted out by different companies. Crompton could see the lack of efficiency in this system and began to consider proposals for an international standard for electric engineering.

In 1904, Crompton represented Britain at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in Saint Louis as part of a delegation by the Institute of Electrical Engineers. He presented a paper on standardisation, which was so well received that he was asked to look into the formation of a commission to oversee the process. He said he saw "great difficulty" in the project, but began work.

By 1906 his work was complete and he drew up a permanent constitution for the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), which held its first meeting that year in London, with representatives from 14 countries.

The IEC's work was interrupted by the Great War. During this conflict, Crompton was asked by the Landships Committee to submit designs for a 'Land Ship' that could cross enemy trenches and barbed wire whilst protecting its occupants from bullets. His design formed the basis of the first practical tanks. The Commission reconvened in 1919 in Geneva. Although Germany was not officially invited to send delegates, an unofficial representation was sent, and Crompton insisted on greeting them, despite unease from other members. He expressed "great satisfaction that our peacemaking efforts were successful".

In 1926 Crompton was awarded the Faraday Medal for his work, and two years later work began on Britain's National Grid.

Later life
Whilst Crompton & Co. was one of Britain's largest electrical equipment manufacturers, the emergence of global conglomerates in the 1920s such as General Electric, Siemens and Metropolitan-Vickers meant that Crompton's was beginning to lose ground. In 1929, in a move that greatly surprised the industry, Crompton & Co. merged with its rival F & A. Parkinson Ltd. to form Crompton-Parkinson.

After conducting the merger, Crompton retired, leaving the company in the hands of Frank Parkinson. He moved from his London home to a house in his native Yorkshire in 1939. The house had no electricity, but his former company installed a generating plant free of charge.

Colonel Crompton died in February 1940, aged 94.

Other interests
As well as his professional and private interests in engineering and electricity, Crompton was a keen cyclist. He bought his first bicycle in the 1890s. Inevitably he modified and adapted the vehicle, changing the wheel diameter and pedal cranks. He claimed to be able to cycle 200 miles (320 km) without getting tired. As one would expect of a devotee of all things mechanical, he was an early motorist and a founder member of the Royal Automobile Club and president of the Institute of Automotive Engineers.

Starting at his time at Harrow, he was a keen squash player. His dedication to standardisation even extended into this field. He conducted a series of experiments to compare the degree of bounce between the various makes of ball on sale.

Crompton's companies
Crompton-Parkinson itself became part of the Hawker Siddeley Group in 1968. That group was broken up in stages during the 1980s, and several unrelated companies, all directly descended from Crompton & Co. through an often-complex series of mergers, break-ups and buy-outs, using the Crompton name:
 Crompton Lighting - One of the oldest lighting manufacturers, this company is still based in Britain, with manufacturing in Doncaster, Yorkshire and head offices in Waltham Abbey, Essex. The company is now part of the American company Cooper Industries. The Crompton name is still widely used on a range of products. A totally separate company using the same name operates in Australia, and is descended from Crompton & Co's Australian subsidiary.
 Brook Crompton - a manufacturer of electric motors with facilities in 5 countries, headquartered in Huddersfield, Yorkshire. It is owned by the Singapore-based Lindeteves-Jacoberg Limited.
 Crompton Controls - based in Wakefield, Yorkshire. The company is in private hands and manufactures switchgear, relays, solenoids and other electrical components.
 Crompton Instruments - Part of Tyco International since 2002, this company manufactures mechanical and electronic electrical meters and related measuring equipment.
 CG Power and Industrial Solutions- the modern descendant of Crompton & Co.'s Indian operations, headquartered in Mumbai. Like its original parent company, this is a wide-ranging manufacturer building switchgear, motors, generators, transformers and meters. The company is engaged in the electrification program for Indian Railways.

Peter Renzulli (May 6, 1895 in New York City, New York – March 14, 1980 in Melville, New York) was a U.S. soccer goalkeeper.  He played in the New York State League, National Association Football League and the American Soccer League, winning three National Challenge Cups.  Renzulli was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame in 1951.

Playing
In December 1915, Renzulli played for St. George's of the New York State League.
On January 2, 1917, Renzulli played for Manhattan in a game against Brooklyn.
The first record of Renzulli playing with Robins Dry Dock in the National Association Football League was a November 1919 game with Federal Shipyard.  In 1921, Robins won the National Challenge Cup.  In 1921, Robins Dry Dock entered the American Soccer League but under the name Todd Shipyard.  Robins Dry Dock was a subsidiary of the Todd Shipyards.  Todd Shipyard finished third in the league, but went to the final of the 1922 Challenge Cup, falling to St. Louis Scullin Steel F.C.  Todd Shipyard folded at the end of the season and Renzulli moved to Paterson F.C. for the 1922–1923 season.  Renzulli went to his third consecutive Challenge Cup, winning his second as Paterson defeated Scullin Steel.  Paterson folded at the end of the season and Renzulli was again forced to find a new team.  This time, he joined Indiana Flooring, a team he remained with through the rest of his career.  In 1927, George Stoneham bought Flooring and renamed the team, the New York Nationals.  In 1928, Renzulli won his third Challenge Cup title when the Nationals defeated the Chicago Bricklayers  In 1928, the Nationals were short a field player, so Renzulli entered the game as a wing forward, scoring a goal in the 3–1 loss to Philadelphia.  In 1930, Stoneham renamed the Nationals the New York Giants.  Renzulli played seven games, then retired at the end of the season.

Honors
Renzulli was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame in 1951 and has an annual youth soccer tournament held on Long Island, New York named after him.

Marchais () is a commune in the Aisne department in Hauts-de-France in northern France. It takes its name from the Latin 'mercasius' or marshland.

The 16th century Chateau de Marchais is a private residence of the Princes of Monaco, since being acquired in 1854 by Charles III. It was built in the 16th century by Nicolas de Longueval, Comte de Bossut. He was accused of treason, though, and to save his life, he surrendered his castle and lands to Charles, Cardindal of Lorraine.

In 1906, Maurice Léger made a prototype helicopter flight at Marchais.

Prudencia Ayala (28 April 1885 – 11 July 1936) was a Salvadoran writer, social activist and pioneer campaigner for women's rights in El Salvador and first woman to run for president in El Salvador and Latin America.

Early life
She came from a working-class Indigenous family, her parents were Aurelia Ayala and Vicente Chief. When she was ten years old, her family moved to Santa Ana City, where she attended María Luisa de Cristofine's elementary school. Despite never finishing her studies due to the lack of resources of her family, she progressed through self-teaching.

She learned to sew and worked as a seamstress along with her future activities. She assured she had the capacity of predicting the future through messages she received from "mysterious voices". This allowed her to gain some relevance among her close relatives, making her gain fame and recognition despite the unlikely truth of her predictions. This statement also provoked criticism and mockery from some social groups.

Her predictions were published in Santa Ana's newspapers, where she's referred to as "la sibila santaneca". In 1914, she predicted the fall of Germany's Kaiser and the involvement of the United States in the war. From then on, her name would take relevance because of her feminist approaches and her esoteric character.

Social activism
From 1913 she began to publish opinion pieces in Diary of the West, when she traveled to the west region of El Salvador.  She was active in movements of anti-imperialism, feminism, and Central American reunification.  She protested the United States' invasion in Nicaragua. She also published poems in many newspapers in El Salvador.

In 1919 she was put in jail for the criticism in one of her columns, the mayor of Atiquizaya and also, in Guatemala, she was put in jail for many months for accusations of collaborating with the planning of coup of state. In 1921 she published her book Escrible. Adventures of a trip to Guatemala, in which she narrated her trip to Guatemala during the last months under the dictatorship of Manuel Estrada Cabrera. In addition she published the books Immortal, Amores de Loca (1925) y Fumada Mota (1928). During the final of the 1920s, she funded and ran the newspaper Rendencion Femenina, where she expressed her stance on the fight of women's rights.

Participation in politics
In 1930, she intended to run as a candidate for the presidency of the Republic, even though the Salvadoran legislation did not recognize women's right to vote. Her government platform included the support of unions, honesty, and transparency of the public administration, the limitation of the distribution and consumption of liquor, the respect of the freedom of worship and the recognition of "illegitimate kids". She started a public debate of legal and political arguments in favor and against her ambition. One of the advocates of her candidacy was the philosopher, teacher, writer, and congressman Alberto Masferrer, who,in the Newspaper Patria, stated:Prudencia Ayala defends a just and noble cause, which is the women's right to vote and to hold high positions. Her government program is not inferior in justification, practical sense and simplicity, than other candidates that are taken seriously.Finally, her application was rejected by the Supreme Court, but the debate that followed the intent of her nomination sparked the feminist movement that permitted the women suffrage right to be reconsidered in 1939, and that in the Constitution of 1950, under the approval of the President Oscar Osorio, it gave legal recognition of women's rights in El Salvador.

Death and legacy

Prudencia Ayala died on 11 July 1936, away from the political arena, but close to the masses and social movements. There is no proof of her participation of the worker's uprising in 1932, but it is believed that she collaborated with the uprisings.
In March 2009, to celebrate Women's Day, and in tribute to Prudencia Ayala, the play Prudencia en tiempos de brujería was staged.

In March 2017, Avenue 10 South in the San Jacinto neighborhood of San Salvador was named Avenida Prudencia Ayala, one of only two streets in the Salvadoran capital named after a woman.  A plaque commemorating the name change notes:

Prudencia Ayala, Salvadoran of Indigenous blood, precursor of the fight for women's human rights.

Alfred Edward Haynes (4 April 1907 – 23 June 1953) was an English footballer.

Born in Oxford, Haynes started out at Oxford City before joining Arsenal aged 21 in 1928. A half back, he spent six seasons at Arsenal but only played 29 first-team games; however these coincided with the start of the club's first period of success under Herbert Chapman. Haynes made his debut against Liverpool on 21 December 1929 at Anfield, a game Arsenal lost 1–0. Nevertheless, Haynes played 14 games that season but missed out on the 1930 FA Cup Final, which Arsenal won, gaining their first major trophy.

Haynes continued to play mostly for the reserves, winning the London Combination three times. However, he missed out on a first-team winners' medal as he was only used sparingly as Arsenal won two League titles in 1930-31 and 1932-33. However, he did pick up a winners medal after playing in Arsenal's 1–0 defeat of West Bromwich Albion in the 1931 FA Charity Shield. His final appearance for Arsenal came against Blackburn Rovers on 7 October 1933.

Unable to oust the first-choice half backs of Frank Hill, Herbie Roberts and Bob John, Haynes was sold to Crystal Palace in November 1933, and played there for three seasons, retiring in 1936. He made 48 league appearances for Palace (51 in total) scoring once.

Haynes died in Oxford in 1953 at the age of 46.

Sona Family is a London-based musical quartet. They have been said to sound "like The Black Eyed Peas infused with traditional Indian bhangra music". They combine urban music, hip hop, R&B and dancehall with their own upbringing as UK Desis. Headed by producer/writer Harry Sona, Sona Family consists of rapper/singer/producer Mr Riz, female singer/rapper Kazz & DJ/producer JC.

History
Originally started by Harry Sona, his cousin Usmaan and DJ JC, they surfaced on the Urban Asian music scene in 2002 with their Sona Kaandaan mixtape which was highlighted by a remix of the More Fire Crew's garage anthem "Oi". The remix titled "Oi Who's That Asian Girl" gave the group mainstream attention and airplay on major radio shows including BBC Radio 1's Bobby Friction & Nihal, DJ Luck & MC Neat on Kiss 100 and Mastersteps show on Choice FM. They were pioneers as a desi rap group and single-handedly invented the hip hop subgenre of desi rap music. They went on to become the first ever desi rap group to be signed to Sony BMG, through which they released their only official album to date called "Make Some Noise" in 2007.

Sona Family also released a controversial track by the name of 'Hai Kuthi' which featured members rapping about a real life conflict between JC and a person from his hometown by the name of Jaspal Sanghera who referred to himself as ‘Don’.  The song contained profanity in English, Punjabi and Hindi, but was considered a huge online hit due to the original and upfront lyrics.

In 2003 the group's success continued with hits "Indian Style", "Bang Boogie" and "Hey Hey". The group reached an incredible milestone when tracks were highlighted on an Asian Rap special on famed Tim Westwood's Radio 1 Rap Show.

The derivation of their name is from Hindi. Sona means "Gold" in Urdu while Family is a popular term used throughout hip hop as the idea of a crew, squad or clique but also relating to the Asian idea of the family foundation.

Their song, "Glassy", appeared in the 2017 feature film Finding Fatimah.

"In My Arms" is a song recorded by Australian singer Kylie Minogue for her tenth studio album, X (2007). The track was written by Minogue, Paul Harris, Julian Peake and its producers Calvin Harris and Richard "Biff" Stannard. The song was released as the worldwide second single from the album on 15 February 2008, while it served as the third single in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. The song was introduced by Minogue while she was recording in a studio in Brighton.

"In My Arms" is a synth-pop inspired song, which features elements of retro and dance music. The song received generally favourable reviews from music critics, with some praising the lyrics and deeming it as one of the best tracks on the album. However, some reviewers were critical towards the production of the song. Commercially, "In My Arms" was generally successful, peaking inside the top ten in countries including Romania, Belgium, France, Switzerland, Germany and the United Kingdom. However, the song experienced lower success in her native Australia, where it peaked at thirty-five, becoming her lowest charting single since "Cowboy Style" (1998).

The music video for "In My Arms" was directed by Melina Matsoukas and filmed in Los Angeles, California, along with the video for "Wow". Minogue has performed the song on five of her concert tours, most recently during her Kylie Summer 2015 tour.

Background and release
Before the production of X, Minogue was diagnosed with breast cancer on 17 May 2005, leading to the postponement of the remainder of her Showgirl: The Greatest Hits Tour and her withdrawal from the Glastonbury Festival. While recovering in Melbourne, Minogue began writing lyrics towards the end of her cancer treatment in mid-2006, having not worked on any music for the previous year. Due to the recovery time following her cancer, X was the first album Minogue had consciously prepared for the recording of, having previously been engaged for much of her career in a routine of recording, releasing and promoting albums.

"In My Arms" was served as the album's second single worldwide, while it was the third single in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand. Because of this, the aftermath single was "Wow", which was the second single in those countries. However, because "In My Arms" was not released in North America, "Wow" was then served as the only club single in that country as they wanted "All I See" as the first mainstream single in North America. However, after the release, it was unsuccessful in the charts. It is also noted that "In My Arms" was released one day before the single "Wow". Musically, "In My Arms" is a synthpop and dance-pop inspired song. It is Minogue's first single to be issued on 7-inch vinyl since 1997's "Some Kind of Bliss".

Minogue also featured foreign artists on the track in certain territories. EMI Music Taiwan announced on 15 October 2007 that Minogue had recorded a duet of the song with Taiwanese singer Jolin Tsai, which was included on the Asian edition of X released in November 2007. EMI Music asked Mexican singer-songwriter Aleks Syntek to record some vocals in Spanish for the song in early 2008. The song was first published through Syntek's official YouTube channel on 24 April 2008, and was later confirmed by EMI and the Mexican press that the song was indeed real and was set to be released to Mexican radio stations in the last week of April. It was later confirmed that the song would be included on Syntek's compilation album, Best of 1989–2009, released in Mexico in June 2008. A special Mexican edition of X was also planned for release in May, but it was then delayed to 26 August 2008.

Music video
The music video for "In My Arms" was directed by Melina Matsoukas and filmed in Los Angeles, California, along with the video for "Wow". There are five main sequences: the first features Minogue dressed in a crimson and white-chequered outfit, designed by Gareth Pugh with futuristic sunglasses; the second has Minogue singing into a microphone, on a blue recording room; the third scene is with a troupe of dancers; the fourth features Minogue in a yellow dress dancing in a pink box; and in the final scene she dances in front of a giant fan wearing a Dolce & Gabbana dress. As the video concludes, the five scenes are intercut and gradually fade. The video premiered on the Internet on 29 January 2008. It premiered on television stations across Europe on 31 January 2008. "In My Arms" is one of Minogue's highest viewed videos with over 20 million views on YouTube.

Reception

Critical response
"In My Arms" garnered positive reviews from music critics. Tom Ewing in a review for Pitchfork compared the song to French electronic music duo Justice and wrote that Minogue "bounces around the tune with gusto". Prefix Magazine reviewer Bruce Scott described it as "fuzzed-out" and "synth heavy", and wrote that it was "full of the kind of exuberant charm that made a track like 'Love at First Sight' a past hit". According to Evan Sawdey from PopMatters, the song is "a track that absolutely demands your attention".

Mark Sutherland from Billboard gave a positive review, writing, "You'll search in vain for insight into her recent personal traumas, but there's still plenty of heart and soul [...] her best batch of tunes in a while." Peter Robinson from The Observer said about the song that "the high points are best viewed as four great tracks for her next greatest hits collection rather than any reflection of this album's cohesion." Jax Spike from About.com considered it as a sublime track "which flow evenly throughout and are definitely great songs to pass the time by at your favorite skating alley."

There were also some negative reviews. In a review for AllMusic, Christopher True was not impressed with "In My Arms" and called the song "cold, calculated dance-pop". Joan Anderman from The Boston Globe said that the song is an "icy dance-pop anthem." Dave Hughes from Slant Magazine, wrote, "the filmsy, nearly-punk Calvin Harris production 'In My Arms', which is essentially what a neon-orange feather boa would sound like if it were a song."

Chart performance
In Belgium, the track debuted on the Flemish singles chart at number thirty-three on 3 February 2008. The following week it rose to number fourteen. The track was also successful on Belgium's Walloon singles chart where it reached number eleven. "In My Arms" reached number eight in Greece and Germany—where it became Minogue's first top ten single since 2003's "Slow"—, as well as number ten in France on the physical chart and number two on the downloads chart, becoming her biggest hit in France since 2001's "Can't Get You Out of My Head". Elsewhere, the song reached the top spot in Romania, the top five in the Czech Republic and Turkey, the top ten in Slovakia and Switzerland, and the top twenty in Austria, Ireland, the Netherlands and Sweden.

The single entered the UK Singles Chart at number sixty-nine on downloads alone, peaking at number ten three weeks later. In Australia, "In My Arms" became Minogue's lowest-charting single in a decade (since 1998's "Cowboy Style"), peaking at number thirty-five and spending only two weeks in the top fifty. In the United States, though the song was not released officially, it received moderate airplay, charting on the American radio airplay chart in the first day of the plays at American radio.

Live performances
Since the song was released, "In My Arms" has been performed at all of Minogue's tours bar the Anti Tour. In 2008, Minogue performed the song on her KylieX2008, promoting the album X. It was performed as the last song in the act entitled Black Versus White'. This was the fourth act in the Opening Night set order, which the song was followed by a performance of "Love at First Sight" which ended the act, the seventh in the Main Set and Open Air / Amphitheater sets and fifth in the Festival set, where "In My Arms" finished all three. Minogue then performed the song on her North American tour in later 2009. It was served as the last song of the sets until the encore. The song was most recently performed on Minogue's Aphrodite: Les Folies Tour in 2011. It was a more rock-oriented version of the song and was performed as the last song of the first half of the show. The song was performed after a remixed version of "Confide in Me" and a rock version of "Can't Get You Out of My Head". Minogue wore a big, open bottomed dress that was a turquoise colour with big silver platforms. Minogue also performed it on the Kiss Me Once Tour where it served as the second song after a performance of Les Sex. Exclusively on her São Paulo show in 2020, Minogue performed the song.

This is a list of friendly fire incidents by the U.S. Military on allied British personnel and civilians.

Korean War
23 September 1950: During the "Battle of Hill 282", three United States Air Force F-51 Mustang aircraft attacked a position held by the British Army's 1st Battalion, Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, with cannon fire and napalm, killing 17 and wounding 76. This was a result of an improper radio contact by British ground forces with the F-51s and the pilots not being informed by several British forward air controllers of proper air recognition panels.

Gulf War
26 February 1991: Six British soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, and ten members of the attached Company of Queen's Own Highlanders were killed and further three injured after their Warrior armoured vehicles were hit by Maverick missiles fired by two U.S. A-10 ground attack aircraft. An Oxford inquest returned a verdict of unlawful killings.
27 February 1991: Two British soldiers of the Queen's Royal Irish Hussars were injured when their Scorpion armoured vehicles were fired on and hit by U.S. M1 Abrams tanks.

Iraqi no-fly zones
14 April 1994: Two British officers were among the 26 Coalition personnel killed in the 1994 Black Hawk shootdown incident caused by two USAF F-15s.

Iraq War
23 March 2003: A Royal Air Force Tornado jet was shot down by a U.S. Patriot missile which identified the aircraft as an anti-radiation missile, killing two crewmen. Investigations showed that the identification friend or foe system indicator had malfunctioned and hence it was not identified as a friendly aircraft.
28 March 2003: British Lance-Corporal of Horse Matty Hull was killed by U.S. A-10 Thunderbolt II ground attack aircraft as well as five others wounded in the 190th Fighter Squadron, Blues and Royals friendly fire incident.
6 April 2003: During the Battle of Debecka Pass, BBC World Affairs Editor John Simpson and members of his crew were injured when a bomb dropped from a U.S. F-15 aircraft hit a friendly Kurdish and U.S. Special Forces convoy, killing 15 people, including BBC translator Kamaran Abdurazaq Muhamed.

War in Afghanistan
5 December 2006: Royal Marine Jonathan Wigley died by gunfire from a U.S. F-18 Hornet aircraft.
23 August 2007: A bomb dropped by an F-15 killed three soldiers of the Royal Anglian Regiment and wounded a further two. During the subsequent inquest, issues such as inadequate communication equipment and incorrect coordinates from a British forward air controller were raised. The coroner finally stated it was due to the "flawed application of procedures" rather than individual errors or "recklessness".
21 December 2009: A British soldier was fatally shot by a US helicopter crew in Afghanistan who thought they were attacking an enemy base. Gunfire from the helicopters left 11 injured on the ground. The coroner criticised the British commanders for the fact Patrol Base Almas was not marked on military maps, for the 'unprofessional' use of grainy images and for insisting there were no friendly forces in the area to the Apache crew.

The Bedingfeld, later Paston-Bedingfeld Baronetcy, of Oxburgh in the County of Norfolk, is a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created on 2 January 1660 for Henry Bedingfeld, a cavalier, in recompense for his losses in the Royalist cause during the Civil War, when he fought as a captain in Charles I's armies, and Interregnum years, computed at £47,194 18s 8d, (). The Bedingfelds are said to descend from 'Ogerlis', a Norman, who, in 1100, held land at Bedingfield, Suffolk. His descendant, Edmund Bedingfeld, married Margaret (died 1446), daughter and heiress of Sir Robert Tuddenham (and sister and co-heir of her brother Sir Thomas Tuddenham, executed in 1462), bringing to her husband estates including the manor of Oxburgh, near Swaffham, Norfolk.

The sixth Baronet married Margaret Anne, daughter and heiress of Edward Paston. In 1830 he assumed by Royal licence the additional surname of Paston. The eighth Baronet was a Major in the 3rd Battalion of the Liverpool Regiment, and served in the Second Boer War. The present Baronet is a co-heir to the ancient barony of Grandison, which has been in abeyance since 1375. Henry Paston-Bedingfeld, the noted officer of arms, is the 10th baronet.

The family seat is Oxburgh Hall, King's Lynn, Norfolk, now owned by the National Trust.

The  (, "Council for German Orthography" or "Council for German Spelling"), or , is the main international body regulating Standard High German orthography.

With its seat being in Mannheim, Germany, the RdR was formed in 2004 as a successor to the  ("Intergovernmental Commission for German Orthography") in order to include both supporters and opponents of the German orthography reform of 1996 (and subsequent reforms).

Currently the RdR is composed of 41 members from those states and regions in the German Sprachraum:

 : 18 councillors
 : 9 councillors
 : 9 councillors
  (Belgium): 1 councillor
 : 1 councillor
  (Italy): 1 councillor
 : 1 observer (no voting right)

Despite having German as one of its official languages, Luxembourg, which was not involved in devising the reform of 1996, is not a full member of the council. The government of Luxembourg unilaterally adopted the reform. According to the duchy's largest newspaper, the , Luxembourg does not perceive itself as a "German-speaking country" (the only national language is Luxembourgish) and thus had no right to take part in the council. Despite this, Luxembourg takes part in the annual meetings of German-speaking countries. Furthermore, Luxembourg participates in  and has members in the , despite French being only a co-official language, just like German.

The chairman of the  () is a member of the council. In 2003, the RdR, the GfdS, the  and the Institute of the German Language, founded the German Language Council (), which was later also joined by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).

Ali Kurtuluş Gültiken (born 27 June 1965) is a former professional football player, manager, and scout. He is a part of the most famous trio of the Turkish football team Beşiktaş history alongside Metin Tekin and Feyyaz Uçar in the early 1990s.

Career
Gültiken began his career in an amateur Istanbul club Bakırköy Yücespor Kulübü right before his transition to Beşiktaş in 1983. After his training process in youth system, he was promoted the senior squad in 1984–85 season. His usual position was right back whereas, coach of the team at that period Gordon Milne decided to make him play in forward line due to his decisive training mood and his ambition.

Gültiken reached the peak of his football with scoring 30 goals in 38 matches in 1987–88 season in which he had the second place in top scorers ranking after Tanju Çolak of Galatasaray. Thus, he had the 6th place in European Top Scorers Ranking in the same season.

During the 1991–92 season, when Beşiktaş had achieved the title with an undefeated team record, Gültiken scored a crucial goal against Galatasaray on 9 May 1992 before suffering a massive injury. He had a long break from football and he never recovered totally. After he returned to the team, he could not find a regular place in the line-up and eventually he had to leave the club at the age of 30 in 1995.

He joined Kayserispor in 1995 and spent the last season of his professional football career. He played only 5 matches with Kayserispor in 1995–96 season. His testimonial match was between Beşiktaş and İstanbulspor.

After retirement
Gültiken had spent his time with investing the textile sector once again which he has had an initial attempt in his beginning time of football career. He created a brand with his name for men shirts. Afterwards, he worked as assistant coach of Rasim Kara in Yimpaş Yozgatspor. He also commented on various sports programs on TV and written to papers as columnist. He also worked as assistant coach again, this time in association of coach Mustafa Denizli at Vestel Manisaspor. Then, Denizli joined the Irani side PAS Tehran and Gültiken moved to Iran with him.

In 2007, Gültiken was hired by Beşiktaş again as football branch manager until his contract was terminated and Sinan Engin replaced him.

Miss Chinese International Pageant 2008 was held on January 26, 2008 in Foshan, China, for the second consecutive year. The pageant was organized and broadcast by TVB in Hong Kong.  Miss Chinese International 2007 Sarah Song of Sydney, Australia crowned Océane Zhu of Paris, France as the 20th Miss Chinese International. Zhu is the first ever winner from Europe.

Pageant information
The slogan to this year's pageant was "Expanding the View of the World: Beauty Comes from the Chinese " 「放眼世界 美麗來自中華」.  The Masters of Ceremonies include Eric Tsang, Sammy Leung and Myolie Wu.  Special performing guest was cantopop singer Kenny Chung.
Contestant #23 TingJia Rosalinda Lorigiano of Montreal was the youngest of all competitors in the history of the pageant, at 17 years old. Her younger sister, Lucia Lorigiano 黄婷麗, later competed and won the title of Miss Chinese Montreal and competed in Miss Chinese International Pageant 2014 and won 2nd Runner-Up.

Top 10 mishap
While the MCs were announcing the top 10 semi-finalists, there was a notable pause and indistinct discussion among them after the third delegate was called out.  Eric Tsang then said an error was made in announcing one of the semi-finalists, but did not state whom.  After the initial 10 delegates were revealed, Sammy Leung announced that (20) Ivy Han was among the semi-finalist list as well, causing the list to grow to eleven semi-finalists.  Immediately afterwards, the reasoning for this was backtracked and the MCs stated that the extra semi-finalist was due to scoring issues and a tie for 10th place.  After the pageant, it was revealed that the mix-up occurred because the scoring tie was not communicated to the MCs, hence they were hesitant to announce all eleven semi-finalists.

In aviation, a minimum crossing altitude (MCA) is the lowest altitude at which a navigational fix can be crossed when entering or continuing along an airway that will allow an aircraft to clear all obstacles while carrying out a normal climb to the required minimum en route IFR altitude (MEA) of the airway in question beyond the fix.

The definition given here concerns primarily United States airspace; procedures and practices may vary in other countries.

Overview

Airways are normally designed such that an aircraft moving from one segment with one MEA to another segment with a higher MEA can safely begin a normal climb (see below) to the higher MEA upon crossing the fix that divides the two segments and still remain well clear of obstacles.  When obstacles along the airways are such that a normal climb beginning at the fix defining an airway segment is not adequate to provide proper obstacle clearance, a minimum crossing altitude (MCA) is published for the fix indicating the minimum altitude at which the fix must be crossed when entering that specific airway segment in order to make it possible to safely climb to the MEA while remaining clear of obstacles.  You must be at or above the MCA by the time you reach the intersection so a climb should be established prior to reaching the intersection.

The normal climb values used for determining MCAs in the United States are: 150 feet per nautical mile from mean sea level (MSL) to 5000 feet MSL; 120 feet per nautical mile from 5000 feet to 10,000 feet MSL; and 100 feet per nautical mile at 10,000 feet MSL or above.

For example, see the illustration above. In this case, a segment of an airway ending at fix ABC has a MEA of 5200 feet MSL, and the minimum obstacle clearance altitude (MOCA) required to clear an obstacle six nautical miles from the fix within the next segment is 6620 feet MSL. The total increase in altitude from 5200 feet to 6620 feet over that distance is 1420 feet.  At a normal rate of climb (120 feet per nautical mile at this altitude), the maximum altitude that can be gained over that distance is 720 feet, which is 700 feet below the required MOCA.  Thus, a MCA for fix ABC of 5900 feet MSL (700 feet above the MEA of the previous segment) will be published for fix ABC for traffic continuing into the airway segment concerned from that fix.

Andrea Ypsilanti ( Dill; born 8 April 1957) is a German politician.

Political career

Ypsilanti was a member of the Hessian Landtag (parliament) and served as chairperson of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) of Hesse from March 2003 to January 2009.

In the Hesse state elections of 2008, held on 27 January 2008, she was the SPD's candidate for the position of minister-president (Ministerpräsident), or prime minister, of Hesse. In that election, her party received 36.7 per cent of the vote - only 0.1 per cent less than the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) of incumbent Roland Koch, which had ruled the state since 1999. Thus, the Hesse SPD came in second, but gained the same number of representatives in the Landtag as the CDU. Overall, the 2008 election led to a deadlock in the state parliament, because neither the CDU and the Free Democratic Party (FDP), nor the SPD and the Green Party, had enough seats to constitute a parliamentary majority, thus enabling the formation of a coalition government. The reason for this was that the Die Linke had entered the Landtag for the first time ever with 5.3% of the vote. Hessian constitution allows for continued operation of the previous government in case of a hung parliament.

Before the 2008 election, Ypsilanti had promised on many occasions to never work together with the Left Party. However, after a "grand coalition" with the CDU was ruled out, Ypsilanti ultimately decided to cooperate with the Left Party in order to be elected prime minister and overcome the deadlock. The first attempt was abandoned after Dagmar Metzger, one of her own party's representatives in the Landtag, declared she would not vote for Ypsilanti because of the latter's cooperation with the Left Party.

A second attempt to elect Ypsilanti prime minister was scheduled for 4 November 2008. However, one day prior to the election, three other SPD representatives - Carmen Everts, Silke Tesch, and Jürgen Walter (vice chairman of the Hesse SPD) - also announced that they would vote against her, making it impossible for Ypsilanti to gain the needed majority. This, in turn, forced the dissolution of the Landtag and the scheduling of new elections for 18 January 2009. On 8 November 2008, Ypsilanti withdrew her candidacy in favor of Thorsten Schäfer-Gümbel, who became the SPD's new lead candidate (Spitzenkandidat).

Preliminary election results on 18 January 2009 indicated that the CDU and the (FDP) together won 64 seats in the parliament - five more than the 59 required - and thus could begin forming a governing coalition. At the same time the SPD lost 13 per cent of the vote compared to the previous election, falling to an historic low in Hesse and one of the worst showings by the party in a German state election. After the preliminary results were published, Ypsilanti announced her resignation as party chairperson.

In February 2010, Ypsilanti, together with Sven Giegold of the Green Party, Katja Kipping of the Left Party, and others, founded the Institut Solidarische Moderne, a left-wing think tank opposed to neoliberalism.

Personal life

Ypsilanti grew up in Rüsselsheim as the daughter of a worker at the local Opel factory. After finishing school she worked as a secretary and then as a flight attendant for Lufthansa. From 1986 until 1992 she studied sociology, political science and education in Frankfurt, graduating with a master's in sociology. She wrote her thesis on the theme "Women and Power". After her divorce in 1992 she kept her Greek husband's last name Ypsilanti. She lives with her partner in Frankfurt.

The magazine was first published under the title of Český loutkář until 1914 when it ceased publication due to World War I. It was relaunched with its current name in 1917. However, its name was changed to Loutková scéna in 1951. The title was Československý loutkář between 1951 and 1992, and following the division of Czechoslovakia into the Czech Republic and Slovakia, it began to use its original name of Loutkář once again in 1993.

Francis Joseph Bayldon MBE (1872–1948) was an Australian master mariner and nautical instructor.  Born in England, he was apprenticed to Devitt & Moore, and was an officer on their passenger ships, on a route that circled the globe, around the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Horn.  He was later with the Canadian-Australian Line, sailing between Vancouver and Sydney, Australia.  He was on the Burns Philp ship the Moresby in 1901–1902.

He helped correct nautical charts for Pacific navigation. Bayldon Shoals, near Tulagi in the Solomon Islands, is named for him.

He was a fellow of the Royal Australian Historical Society, and in 1925, published an article on the journeys of Luis Váez de Torres from the New Hebrides to the Moluccas. He was also a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.  He was president of the local League of Ancient Mariners and vice-president of the Shiplovers' Society in Sydney.
