The Centre for Neuroscience and Cell Biology (CNC) is a nonprofit research institute founded in 1990, aiming to foster research in biomedicine and biotechnology and multidisciplinary graduate teaching at the University of Coimbra. CNC was the first established “Laboratório Associado” in Portugal, and it has steadily increased the scope of scientific competences over the years, with a strong focus on the exploitation of the fundamental mechanisms of ageing and brain diseases.

To cope with the main expected societal impact of biomedical research a strong integrative effort was made to link the CNCs basic research achievements to the biotechnology and applied research, and to the regional economical and productive tissue. The strong partnership developed between CNC and the Clinical Faculty allows for the translation of basic knowledge into clinical applications, enhanced by partnerships with the pharmaceutical industry. As a founding partner of Biocant - Biotechnology Innovation Centre, and of the Health Cluster Portugal, CNC shows a clear commitment towards promoting technology transfer and the creation of novel biomedical and biotechnology enterprises.
In parallel to fundamental and applied research, CNC is committed to the training of a new generation of researchers and clinicians. CNC established an international PhD Programme in 2002, and strongly collaborates with the MIT-Portugal PhD Program. CNC is part of the European Neuroscience Campus Network (ENC-Network) for postgraduate training, the Network of European Neuroscience Institutes (ENInet), and is also involved in the Harvard Medical School-Portugal Program in Translational Research and Information.
As a research institution where the scientific challenges arise, the CNC has also the responsibility of developing and establishing strategies that foster positive attitudes towards science and scientists. The Outreach Programme developed by CNC is of utmost relevance to the dissemination of scientific information to the community, to broaden the public’s access to science, and to engage students in science studies.
CNC researchers come from three faculties of the University of Coimbra: the Faculties of Medicine, Pharmacy, and Science and Technology at the University of Coimbra. It is also linked to the University Hospitals of Coimbra (HUC) and several pharmaceutical companies. As a founding partner of the biotechnology association Biocant, the CNC has shown its commitment to foster technology transfer and the creation of novel biomedical and biotechnology enterprises.

Research

Overview

The core scientific activity of CNC is the study of the molecular basis of neurodegenerative processes common to ageing, neurodegenerative disorders, cerebral ischaemia and epilepsy. In parallel, the research groups explore mechanisms of neuroprotection and regeneration, which may be future candidates for the development of potential therapeutic strategies to manage these disorders. This core activity is complemented by supporting areas which also develop their own research activity, opening the scope of intervention of CNC in the biomedical field, while providing novel lines of research applicable to Neuroscience, namely: genetic screening of diseases; structure-function relation of proteins with biomedical or biotechnological interest; development of new vectors for delivery of drugs and genetic material; development of biomaterials for stem cell-based therapeutics; study of drug and disease-induced cell dysfunction, with particular expertise in processes involving mitochondrial dysfunction and free radicals; intermediate metabolism and diabetes; cellular and developmental biology, whose programs focused on human infertility, disruption of human cell function in cancer, contact dermatitis, osteoarthritis, autoimmune disease, obesity and pathogens biology, involve close partnerships with clinicians at Coimbra University Hospital Centre (CHUC) and Coimbra Portuguese Institute of Oncology (IPO); microbiology with emphasis on the strategies for adaptation of microorganisms to extreme environments, the screening and development of new anti-mycobacterial drugs and the susceptibility to legionella and fungal infection.

Translational research, organized as an Inter-Institutional Research Programme, involves Hospitals, Pharmaceutical Companies and Biocant - Biotechnology Innovation Centre. Development of new technologies based on solid fundamental research, and stimulated by the growing interest in translational research, led to reorganization of the services sector and to the creation of a technology transfer unit at Biocant, the UC-BIOTECH. The promotion of technology transfer and the creation of novel biomedical and biotechnology enterprises is one of the aims of CNC at Biocant.

The CNC was the first Associated Laboratory in Portugal, and is part of the Network of European Neuroscience Institutes (ENI). Since the mid-2000s, it has been involved in research collaborations between the Portuguese Government and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Harvard Medical School (HMS).

Research Areas

The Centre for Neuroscience and Cell Biology is uniquely placed to take a decisive lead in Biomedicine at both basic and applied levels, due to the diverse backgrounds of its researchers. The close interaction with large scale hospitals, namely the Coimbra University Hospital (CHUC) and Coimbra Portuguese Institute of Oncology (IPO), Pharmaceutical Companies and the Biotechnology Innovation Centre – Biocant, is a driving force in promoting the development of translational research.

Development of new technologies based on solid fundamental research, and stimulated by the growing interest in translational research, led to the official establishment of the Biotechnology specialization domain at CNC, reorganized as such at the CNC/UC-BIOTECH located at Biocant.

Research at CNC is therefore organized in two domains – Biomedicine and Biotechnology –, each subdivided in three scientific areas.

Education
Education at the CNC focuses on Graduate training in the Molecular Life Sciences and Disease, particularly in the fields of Cellular and Molecular Biology, Neuroscience and Biotechnology. The aim is to provide Master and PhD students with a multi-layered education, through programmes with a strong international component.

Doctoral Programme in Experimental Biology and Biomedicine (PDBEB)
The PDBEB is an International Doctoral Programme established by the CNC since 2002, providing advanced, multidisciplinary, research-oriented training in emerging areas of modern Biology and Biomedicine.

Hendrik (Henry) de Vries (17 August 1896 in Groningen, Netherlands – 18 November 1989 in Haren, Netherlands) was a significant Dutch poet and painter. He was an early surrealist, was liberal-minded, and preached vitality. The subconscious mind plays a crucial role in his poetry.

Much his inspiration came from his interest in Spain and Spanish culture. He visited Spain frequently and became proficient enough to write many poems in Spanish.

De Vries had many collections of his poetry, writings, and artworks published during his lifetime. He also contributed to the literary magazine Het Getij (The Tide).

De Vries' work was included in the 1939 exhibition and sale Onze Kunst van Heden (Our Art of Today) at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

Connect2Wiltshire is a demand responsive transport network in southern Wiltshire, England. It is funded by Wiltshire Council and operates in several areas including Calne, Kennet Valley, Mere, the Vale of Pewsey, Wootton Bassett, Malmesbury and the Woodford & Wylye Valleys.

The network combines the former Wigglybus and other shared taxi networks under one brand. Unlike many bus services, all passengers have to book at least one hour before travelling. It operates standard taxi services also. Unlike standard taxis, these are charged at bus rates. The name was chosen because the council required a new licence to use the name Wigglybus.

Connect2Wiltshire also oversee bus routes 101/102/103 (Devizes to Pewsey), operated since August 2017 by Salisbury Reds. These are ordinary bus routes and do not have to be pre-booked.

In 2022, the Department for Transport awarded £1.2million to Wiltshire Council for an on-demand bus service in Pewsey Vale and Marlborough. Services began in Pewsey Vale on 31 July 2023 under the Wiltshire Connect brand.

"Louise" is a song by the British synthpop group The Human League. It was released as a single in the UK on 5 November 1984 and peaked at number thirteen in the UK Singles Chart. It was written jointly by lead singer Philip Oakey with fellow band members Jo Callis and Philip Adrian Wright. The song features a lead vocal by Oakey and female vocals by Susan Ann Sulley and Joanne Catherall, analogue synthesizers by Philip Oakey, Jo Callis, Philip Adrian Wright and Ian Burden. The producers were Chris Thomas and Hugh Padgham. Although enjoying modest success when released as a single, it appeared on Melody Maker’s list of 50 top singles of 1984.

Background
"Louise" was the third single released from Hysteria, the Human League's follow up album to the international multi-platinum Dare. Like the rest of Hysteria, it was recorded during the hugely expensive and turbulent sessions by the band at AIR Studios during 1983/4. Dare producer Martin Rushent had quit earlier, after repeatedly falling out with Oakey and production had been handed to Chris Thomas and Hugh Padgham, with final finishing taking place at Town House Studios.

"Louise" is essentially a male song with female backing; and was expected to be Hysteria's answer to "Don't You Want Me". The near spoken vocal is accompanied by electric piano-style chords (another similarity to "Don't You Want Me"), all underpinned by a catchy lolloping bassline, and adorned by a prominent brass solo (also played on a synthesiser).

Despite the fact that many reviews of Hysteria identified Louise as a stand out track with Melody Maker'''s Colin Irwin speculating that it could be a potential number one single for the Human League, the song was not Virgin Records' first choice as a single release from the album. That went to "The Lebanon".

The lyrical story telling of "Louise" superficially seems to be a story about a chance encounter between a man and a woman on a bus who seem to be on the verge of a lover's reconciliation. But like much of Oakey's song writing, what seems ‘sugary sweet’ on the surface actually has a much darker subtext. Oakey points out that the story is actually about the original protagonists from "Don’t You Want Me" meeting up 4 years later. In "Louise" the man sees his lost love again and still cannot deal with reality. The anger that drove the earlier song has dissipated, and is replaced with a hopeful fantasy that his ex-lover is drawn to him all over again. So Louise is really about self-deception, delusion and eternal sadness. Oakey says about "Louise" in interview:

However, like the less savoury premise of "Don’t You Want Me", the darker side of the "Louise" story went over the heads of the record buying public, who misinterpreted the lyrics as "sweet and upbeat".

Because the second single from Hysteria, "Life on Your Own", did not do as well in the charts as expected, Virgin Records held back on the follow-up release of "Louise". However, the unexpected runaway success of the independent Giorgio Moroder/Philip Oakey movie soundtrack single "Together in Electric Dreams" in late summer 1984 prompted them to reconsider and release "Louise" as a single in October 1984. Despite modest support from Virgin and the band, it went to number 13 in the UK Chart spending a total of 10 weeks in the charts.

The Single cover artwork by designer Ken Ansell is a reverse reproduction of the artwork to "Don’t You Want Me". The Louise cover has an inset montage of a menacing Ian Burden glowering at an ‘innocent’ Joanne Catherall taking over the roles of Oakey and Sulley from the 1981 artwork.

The song was revived and covered in 2006 by Robbie Williams on his album Rudebox produced by William Orbit.

It was again revived by Tony Christie  in a stripped-down version featuring piano and trumpet on his 2008 album of songs by Sheffield based songwriters, Made in Sheffield.Promotional video

The music video for Louise was directed by Steve Barron who had directed most of the band's videos up to that point, and was to be his last for the band.

His story board plays on the literary perceptions of the song. It was filmed in Black and White to add gravitas, something that was not popular with Music TV stations at the time, who called it "drab". The video's story mirrors the song's origins in that all the characters from the 1981 video for "Don’t You Want Me" are present. Susan Ann Sulley wears the same trench coat she wore in the DYWM video (in a flashback to the DYWM video [which was in colour]) and has a similar hairstyle; she is the ‘Louise’ character, and it is revealed that she was dating the 'film editor' played by Wright (in this'' video's storyline, she dates Burden). Oakey, who plays a 'bookwriter' as opposed to a 'film director' in the video for DYWM, spends the whole video navigating a narrowboat along a London canal while narrating the scene as the action takes place on the road paralleling the canal. There is also limited stunt work with a London AEC Routemaster bus skidded to a halt on a bridge (where Burden and Sulley get off); and Joanne Catherall herself dives into the canal water in one scene. The video also alludes to Philip Oakey and Joanne Catherall's real  lifelong term relationship, with the couple sharing a bath (Oakley fully dressed, Carherall in a swimsuit) and other intimate moments on camera. The video was called "too arty" at the time, and the story that it was trying to tell was never fully understood by the public.

The Chinese Cultural Renaissance or the Chinese Cultural Renaissance Movement () was a movement promoted in Taiwan in opposition to the cultural destructions caused by the Chinese Communist Party during the Cultural Revolution. The Chinese Cultural Revival Movement is an ideological and cultural movement launched by the government of the Republic of China with the aim of reviving Chinese culture. In order to maintain traditional Chinese culture and carry forward the revolutionary spirit. Contend with the Cultural Revolution movement of the Chinese Communist Party to show that the Republic of China is the representative of orthodox Chinese culture.In November 1966, 1,500 people, including Sun Ke, Wang Yunwu, Chen Lifu, Chen Qitian, Kong Decheng, and Zhang Zhiben, wrote a letter to the Executive Yuan, the "Chinese Cultural Revival Movement" was proposed and the "Chinese Cultural Revival Festival" was designated as November 12 each year. On July 28, 1967, people from all walks of life in Taiwan held the initiation meeting of the Chinese Cultural Revival Movement Implementation Committee (now known as the Chinese Cultural Federation), The President of the Republic of China Chiang Kai-shek as the president, and the movement was implemented in Taiwan and overseas.

Origin
Because Chinese mainland was in the midst of the catastrophe of the "Cultural Revolution" at that time, under the slogan of "shattering the old and building the new", a number of Chinese cultural heritage was greatly damaged, and the entire Chinese mainland cultural and intellectual circles were humiliated and destroyed; This is another major disaster after the establishment of the Chinese Communist Party, which has had a very negative impact on the normal development of Chinese culture; The Government of the Republic of China then raised the banner of reviving Chinese culture, hoping to establish itself as the successor and defender of Chinese culture.

Aims and objectives of the movement

 Taking ethics and morality as the foundation of a virtuous society. The most specific behavioral representations are loyalty, filial piety, Ren (philosophy), love, Letter (message), Yi (philosophy), and peace; Its most important philosophical foundation is the word "Ren (philosophy)".
 Taking democracy and Liberty as the principle of benefiting the country, there is a great law that the whole country adheres to, namely the Constitution of the Republic of China. Keep political initiatives on track.Legislative Yuan should be able to exercise its powers freely, so that the effectiveness of the law can be eternal. Belonging to the rule of the people and establishing the rule of law.
 The ultimate goal of using science and technology as a moral principle and benefiting the people is to support them. The way of raising the people does not involve the six aspects of clothing, food, Domicile (law), transportation, education, and happiness. Therefore, the scientific construction of these six aspects is specially designed as the foundation for Zhengde, utilization, and good health.

Rules and results of sports behavior

Lay the foundation for cultural revival from educational reform
To promote the general improvement of national knowledge level through education and increase national employment opportunities. We will help people adapt to their living environment and improve their lives.

In terms of education, it calls for attaching equal importance to moral, intellectual, physical and social education. Attaching importance to life education, revising textbooks on life education for primary and middle school students, focusing ethics in students' daily life. At the same time, we should increase the scientific and technological education of students, in addition to the implementation of tentative vocational cultivation in national middle schools, and in high schools, we should focus on the development of vocational schools, so as to meet the needs of national economic construction and production work. The Chinese Cultural Renaissance Association has also set up the Scientific and Technological Research and Invention Award to support scientific and technological inventions made by ordinary people.

In terms of sports, the committee focuses on the advocacy and implementation of sports for all, the cooperation and application of teams, the improvement of sports facilities in schools and society, the strengthening of training and activities of sports organizations and teams, and the frequent organization of international sports activities and contacts. And vigorously develop sports academic research, improve the people's sports skills.

From academic consolidation to cultural renewal
Jiang Zhongzheng called for "harmony between mind, matter, group and oneself, resulting in the New China's Three Principles of ethics, democracy, scientific social blueprint, is to lead to cultural integration."

In the whole Chinese cultural Renaissance movement, the committee's goal is "to sort out the traditional culture and save the weeds. At the same time, the essence of Western culture is selected, absorbed and adopted, and the Chinese and Western cultures are integrated into one furnace, so as to create a new neutral culture that can benefit mankind. Under the supervision of Jiang, the Committee established a number of specialized organizations and committees, such as the Committee for the Promotion of Academic Publication, which was responsible for sorting out and publishing ancient books, popularizing academic essence to the younger generation, and publishing a large number of Chinese ancient books. For example, Zhouyijin Annotated the Present Translation, Laozi Annotated the Present Translation, The Book of Songs Annotated the Present Translation, Menzi Annotated the Present Annotated the Present Translation, Baihua Historical Records,Vernacular Zizhi Tongjiancollated a large number of ancient books to make the text plain and easy to understand, so that ordinary people could understand it. A large number of ancient Chinese classics have been photocopied and published, contributing to the preservation of the achievements of Chinese civilization.

To compile an overview of Chinese culture, publish 100 Chinese thinkers of all dynasties, introduce their lives, thoughts, activities and the influence of their works, so as to enable the Chinese people to have a deeper understanding of the evolution of Chinese academic thought. Compiled and printed stories of loyal and filial figures in the past dynasties of China (100) and selected writings of loyal and filial piety to carry forward the magnificent style of national cultural humanistic spirit. To re-translate the Four Books from English and distribute them overseas to enhance international scholars' understanding and appreciation of Chinese culture.

Translated western classics, about politics, economy, society, science and other aspects, has been published in a variety of. Science and Civilization in China by Needham, an Englishman.

The Chinese Science and Technology Series, the Bibliography of Zhou-Qin, Han and Wei Scholars, the Selected Essays on Chinese History, the History of Chinese Humanities and Social Sciences Series, The Legal System in Modern China, the Western Translation Bibliography of Chinese Literature, the Album of Modernization and Chinese Cultural Renaissance, the General Bibliography of Chinese Culture, the Collection of Essays on Chinese Cultural Renaissance, and the Research and Development of the standard Template book "and other books have been published.

Introduce new science and technology and absorb new scientific knowledge to strengthen the modernization of the country. Promote the exchange of Chinese and western culture, so as to receive the help of cultural integration. These academic collation work is a necessary way to promote Chinese culture and a necessary method to integrate Chinese and Western cultures.

From the study of literature and art to the development of cultural Renaissance emperor
From the national cultural humanism set off the thought of literature and art: the first is to promote the specific behavior of ethics and morality, in order to show the national spirit of loyalty, filial piety and kindness. The second is to advocate the democratic consciousness of anti-communism, anti-slavery and anti-persecution in order to stabilize the democratic thought and system. The third is to develop science and technology and promote scientific and technological progress in order to realize national modernization and modern civilization. The specific plan is as follows:

 A National Foundation for literature and Art was established.
 Formulate cultural policies.
 The Committee for the Promotion of Chinese Opera is responsible for the improvement and promotion of Chinese opera, such as the regular performance of Chinese opera, the arrangement and creation of scripts, the training of scene personnel, the design of Chinese opera courses and the improvement of textbooks, and the holding of summer Chinese opera workshops for junior colleges and universities.
 The establishment of cultural centers from the central to the local level. In conjunction with the literary and art circles throughout the country, they hold symposiums on literature and art, hold various literary and art seasons, reward literary and art creation, set up literary and art research classes, and guide various literary and art activities. Such as painting and calligraphy exhibition, drama performance, dance performance, music performance, various literary and artistic creation competition, improve and carry forward the traditional arts.
 Handle international cultural and artistic exchanges and study international literary and artistic creation skills.
 To compile and print the history of Chinese literature and art to correct part of the destruction of traditional Chinese literature and art.
 To produce a large number of cultural and artistic programs in line with mass communication, and promote the colorful work of literature and art.
 Fine print Chinese contemporary famous painting and calligraphy album.

From national life coaching to cultural renewal
The committee put forward that culture is the representation of life, and the cultivation of ethics and the development of morality should start from the guidance of the people's life, so that the people understand the principle of living, acting and treating others. The true meaning of ethics should be embodied in the daily life of the people. The establishment of relevant norms and norms so that the interaction between people will have a certain standard scale and appropriate basis, so as not to deviate from the norm.

The Committee also promulgated and implemented the Guidelines for National Life, which set out 99 specific rules covering such areas as clothing, food, housing, travel and entertainment as guidelines for national life.The National Life Counseling Committee is responsible for promoting ethics and morals, initiating the "Youth Practice Campaign to Revitalize Chinese Culture" and formulating the "Instructions for National Life", which sets out basic requirements for People's Daily life, with a view to promoting the civilization of a country of rites and ceremonies. The Model of National Etiquette was revised and formally issued in 1970, expanding the cultivation of young people as the ideal of social life.

To achieve the goal of cultural innovation by integrating Chinese and Western cultures
To carry forward the cultural tradition of the Chinese nation and promote the continuous innovation and development of Chinese culture. The Committee formulated the "Implementation Plan for the Integration and Development of Chinese Culture and Modern Western Academic Thought" and the "Implementation Plan for the Compilation and Publication of Chinese Culture Series" to affirm the value of Chinese culture.

Movement process
Chiang Kai-shek, the then President of the Republic of China who launched the movement in November 1966—on the 100th anniversary of Sun Yat-sen's birthday—by publicly announcing the official start of the renaissance movement.  It was the Kuomintang's first structured plan for cultural development on Taiwan.  Chiang himself was the head of the movement promotion council.  Future president Lee Teng-hui was also involved in the movement and served as the president for the cultural renaissance.

Chiang announced ten goals:

 To improve educational standards and promote family education with an emphasis on the Confucian principles of filial duty and fraternal love
 To reissue Chinese classic literary works and translate important works with a view toward disseminating Chinese culture abroad.
 To encourage the creation of new literary and art works that are relevant to contemporary society and informed by the ideals of the cultural renaissance
 To launch the government planning and construction of new theaters, opera houses, auditoriums, and art galleries, as well as stadiums throughout the country, and to improve existing facilities.
 To utilize all mass media for the promotion of the cultural renaissance with an emphasis upon encouraging good customs and morals.
 To guide the modernization of national life under the influence of the Confucian Principles of the "Four Social Controls" (propriety, rectitude, honesty and a sense of shame) and the "Eight Virtues" (Loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, love, faithfulness, justice, harmony and peace), a goal to be achieved with the help of the newly launched New Life Movement.
 To promote tourism and the preservation of historical relics
 To increase support for overseas Chinese education, including the publication of newspapers and the promotion of cultural activities abroad.
 To maintain close ties with foreign institutions and intellectuals, particularly those whose research focuses on China.
 To revise tax statutes and regulations in order to encourage wealthy individuals, private industries, and private businesses to make donations to government-endorsed cultural and educational establishments.

November 12, 1966, the centenary of Sun Yat-sen's birth. At the inauguration ceremony of the newly built Zhongshan Building Chinese Culture Hall on Yangming Mountain in Taipei, Chiang Zhongzheng published the Commemorative Paper of the inauguration of the Zhongshan Building Chinese Culture Hall, which continued to promote the cultural purpose of the integration of the Three People's Principles and Chinese tradition, and declared that "the thought of the Three People's Principles is not only the convergence of Chinese culture, but the national revolution of the Three People's Principles is the defender of Chinese national culture". It says, "I firmly believe that ethics, democracy and science are the essence of the Three Principles of the People, which is also the cornerstone of the traditional culture of the Chinese nation." At that time, all the participants in the memorial meeting, then jointly signed a petition to the government to designate November 12 as the anniversary of the father's birthday, as well as the Chinese culture Renaissance Festival.

December 25, 1966: Jiang Zhongzheng presided over the Republic of China "National Assembly Constitutional Studies" meeting.

Evaluate

 Chen Lifu: It has been 13 years since the Chinese Cultural Renaissance Movement was launched. What are the achievements? Society has its fair judgment; But here it is necessary to say:
 First, the cultural revival has guided the correct line. Ethics, democracy and science are the cornerstone of Chinese culture and the essence of the Three People's Principles. To revive Chinese culture, we must practice the Three Principles of the People.
 Second, the cultural Renaissance has promoted the flourishing of culture. In the past, international people called Taiwan a cultural desert. Now, Taiwan has a variety of cultural relics activities, books and periodicals printing, lectures, symposiums, viewing parties, exhibitions... Held almost every day, visible at any time, resulting in a general state of the ZTE scene.
 Third, cultural revival has elevated our country's cultural reputation and status. Internationally, Taiwan is regarded as the richest place to preserve the fine traditional culture of China, which has increased the admiration and reverence of international scholars for Taiwan, and even the love for Taiwan, which has increased the number of tourists to Taiwan and changed the perception of international scholars on Taiwan.

 Mou Zongsan: "National cultural and spiritual education", like other aspects of education, is "material" and "teaching". There is no "spirit" at all. Naturally, it cannot be called "education".

Centreville Athletic Club of Bayonne, New Jersey was a U.S. soccer team which competed in the National Association Football League, winning two championships.

History
In April 1895, the Centreville A.C. joined the newly establish National Association Football League (NAFBL), a professional soccer league encompassing northern New Jersey and New York City. The team had been in existence previously as a recreational club. The first season in the NAFBL went well for Centreville as it took the title. However, the records for the league's second season have not been fully reconstructed and the final standings are unknown. The onset of a major recession combined with the Spanish–American War led to a suspension of the league in 1899.

First Midland Red Buses, trading as First Worcester, is a bus company operating services in Herefordshire and Worcestershire in the English Midlands. It is a subsidiary of FirstGroup.

History

In September 1981 Midland Red West was formed with 183 buses operating from six depots in Gloucestershire, Hereford, Worcestershire and Powys as part of the breakup of the Midland Red bus company. In September 1983 the 20 vehicle Bromsgrove depot was closed.

Based in Worcester, Midland Red West's main areas of operation were Worcestershire, Herefordshire, parts of Shropshire and parts of the West Midlands conurbation, including Birmingham. Birmingham was also served by the other companies formed from the break-up of Midland Red.

Minibus operations
In November 1985 Midland Red West introduced a fleet of 60 minibuses to operate its urban network in Worcester as part of a new high-frequency service within the city, operating under the Citibus trading name. The distinctive yellow, orange and blue liveried Mercedes-Benz L608Ds displaced larger buses such as Leyland Nationals onto interurban routes. At its launch the service was the UK's largest urban bus service operated by minibuses.

Privatisation
In December 1986 Midland Red West along with the 40 vehicle Midland Red Coaches was sold to Midland West Holdings in a management buyout.

The livery of many of its vehicles changed from the National Bus Company's poppy red to a deeper red and cream livery. The company also sported a new logo of a Wyvern. Apart from being the name of an imaginary creature, the name Wyvern was also a portmanteau of the 2 major rivers which run through Herefordshire and Worcestershire; the Wye and Severn.

In 1987 Midland Red West Holdings purchased the Bristol Omnibus Company from the National Bus Company. It operated urban services around the Bristol area under the City Line trading name, which was kept.

Badgerline Group
In April 1988 Midland Red West Holdings was purchased by fellow Bristol operator Badgerline. The trading names of Midland Red West and Badgerline remained unchanged as did vehicle livery, though many of Midland Red West's Leyland Lynxs sported a badger motif on the rear sides of the vehicle. The merger reunited the two constituent parts of the Bristol Omnibus Company, City Line and the Bristol country services which had been separated from in 1986.
In 1995 Badgerline merged with GRT Group to form FirstBus. In 1999 Midland Red West was rebranded as First Midland Red.

Fleet
In 1990 Midland Red West began to expand and modernise its fleet of full-size single deck buses purchasing 50 Leyland Lynxs, which were put into service at Digbeth depot, displacing all that depot's Leyland Nationals. Eight of these Lynxs shortly found their way to Redditch depot and two years later five of these eight Redditch Lynxes ended up at Kidderminster depot, while Redditch acquired four more from Digbeth.

In 1994 37 new Plaxton Verde bodied Dennis Lances, which were now the Badgerline Group's standard full-size single deck bus, arrived at Digbeth, displacing the existing Leyland Lynxes to Kidderminster and Redditch depots.

The modern day fleet mainly consists of Wright StreetDecks, Wright StreetLites, Mercedes-Benz Citaros and Wright Eclipse Gemini 2 bodied Volvo B9TLs, as well as Wright Eclipse 2s branded for The Salt Road.

Services
Most services depart from Crowngate Bus Station in Worcester to Tewkesbury, Ledbury, Bromyard, Droitwich, Catshill and frequent buses to many local areas.

Service 144, branded as "The Salt Road", operates between Worcester and Catshill, and until May 2022, operated hourly services into Birmingham. The Birmingham section of the route was curtailed due to low passenger numbers, bringing an end to the Worcester-Birmingham service after 108 years.

Operations
The company has one depot located on Padmore Street in Worcester.

Former operations
In January 2013, the Kidderminster and Redditch depots were sold to Rotala with 36 buses who integrated it with its Diamond Bus subsidiary.

In September 2015, First Midland Red ceased operating services in Hereford with the depot closed. At the time it operated 19 buses. The Hereford routes were taken over by Yeomans while DRM took over the service to Worcester. The company still runs one bus a week on Wednesdays into Hereford from Ledbury.

La Mécanique du Cœur is the sixth studio album by the French band Dionysos, released on 5 November 2007. The title can be translated as the mechanics of the heart; the album complements the book of the same name written by Mathias Malzieu, the band's frontman. The album has sold over 75,000 copies, making it a Gold Disc, and has been adapted into a film directed by Malzieu.

Background
The album follows on from Monsters in Love, an album telling the stories of various monsters imagined by the band. There are several references from this album to the one that precedes it.

A lot of the band's oeuvre has been inspired by the work of Tim Burton, and the artwork from this album has strong influences from Corpse Bride. The music video from the first single ("Tais toi mon cœur") is animated in the same style. The songs alternate between French, English, and Spanish for Miss Acacia.

This album features many guest appearances from prominent French stars: Eric Cantona narrates the epilogue, Olivia Ruiz (the lead singer's partner) appears on several tracks, Grand Corps Malade co-writes two tracks, Jean Rochefort sings on one song to mention but a few.

The band's violinist Babet (Élisabeth Maistre) only appears on the track "Cunnilingus Mon Amour!" because she was busy working on her solo career whilst the album was being recorded. However, she is scheduled to appear on the March 2008 tour promoting the album.

Story
The album follows a strong concept, based around the book of the same name (written by the band's lead singer Mathias Malzieu). It tells the story of Little Jack, a child born in Edinburgh in 1874 on the coldest day in the world. He is born with a frozen heart which the midwife, Docteur Madeleine, replaces with a cuckoo clock – it works, but means that he must "not touch the hands. Control his temper. And most importantly, never ever fall in love" or else the clock will explode through his skin.

Alas, he falls in love with an Andalucian singer Miss Acacia on the streets of Edinburgh which makes his heart malfunction. Docteur Madeleine fixes him but restates he must never fall in love.

In an attempt to find her again, he enrolls at school where he meets his nemesis Joe, who has also fallen in love with Miss Acacia. Joe threatens Jack so that he won't look for her. For Jack, school for the next four years is torment, being humiliated by Joe and bullied because of his clockwork heart. On his last day of school, Jack is desperate for Miss Acacia and asks Joe where he could find her. They fight, and Jack pierces Joe in the eye with the hands of his clock. Thinking he might be dead, he runs home to Madeleine and tells her what's happened.

Arthur appears saying the police are coming, so Jack is sent on his way to escape, with not much to his name and instructions to find a clocksmith, not a doctor, to look after his heart.
He travels first to London where he meets Jack the Ripper who comes close to killing him due to his overcuriosity. Jack flees, leaving London to cross the channel to Paris. In Paris, Jack searches for a watchmaker. The first he meets is disgusted by his disfigurement and sends Jack away; the second man he meets doesn't fix him but sends him off to the 'magician' Georges Méliès. Méliès looks after not only his heart but gives him advice in love, and accompanies him on his voyage to Andalucia.

In Andalucia Jack searches for Acacia, seemingly to no avail, until they are guided by someone to some kind of carnival. Jack sees her for the first time since they first met, and is still in love. He creeps into her caravan after the show and gives her a bunch of glasses, and they agree to meet again. Jack gets a job working on the ghost train, with an evil employer Brigitte Heim – he is not particularly good at his job because people often leave the ride giggling.

After several years, Miss Acacia has become more famous, but Joe returns. He is at first unrecognized, but due to his missing eye is far better at scaring people so takes Little Jack's job at the ghost train. One night he goes to see Miss Acacia perform, where Jack encounters Joe. Joe slowly seems to be winning her away from Jack, and he becomes so jealous he breaks his own heart, jamming a knife into the gears.

Three years pass as Jack sleeps in a coma. Méliès has promised to replace his old wooden heart which he does before returning to Paris, leaving Jack in the care of a nurse he once womanized. Jack wakes up and tries to deal with his new body, which is hard even for himself to recognise due to the changes and developments – this gives him the chance to visit L'Extraordinarium to see Miss Acacia without her knowing his true identity. After some time he reveals who he is, presenting his old heart to her in a box. She realises it is him, and, believing him to have died three years previously and that his reappearance confirms her earlier suspicions of deceit, rejects him.

Jack's new body keeps growing – he becomes a giant (Giant Jack from the previous album Monsters in Love). In the epilogue he travels back to Scotland where he meets Arthur, who reveals the secret of Jack's life: he needed his clockwork heart to survive for the first few months of life, but after that his heart of flesh and blood functioned normally. Madeleine kept this a secret because she wanted to shelter him.

Track listing
All songs: music by Dionysos, lyrics by Mathias Malzieu except for where stated.

Production
This is Dionysos' first self-produced album. It was recorded by Mike Ponton (the lead guitarist) and produced by him with Mathias Malzieu (the lead singer).

Plot
Due to the renovation of the Tokyo based venue where she works, Okin, stage name Lily Carmen, and her lovesick friend Maya pay her small rural hometown in Nagano a visit. Carmen's father, who never approved of her leaving the family, is highly critical of her return, but most villagers are curious for the big city star, including the school principal, who feels honoured for the presence of such an acclaimed artist. As it turns out, Carmen's "art" is a popular strip dance act, which she is about to perform in a show put up by local magnate Maruju. While some of the conservative inhabitants see morality at stake, others excuse Carmen's eccentric behaviour with the fact that "Okin is funny in the head since she was kicked by a cow as a child". After performing their show, Okin and the again lovesick Maya, who fell for young teacher Ogawa in the meantime, return to the big city. Maruju renounces his share of the show's profits, and Okin's father hands over the money to the principal who promises to use it to give everyone an artistic education.

Production
Filmed using Fujicolor, it was Japan's first domestic color film. However, as a precaution and due to printing costs, a black-and-white version was also filmed, thus requiring actors and actresses re-performing scenes. Due to the amount of time involved in producing a print, most theatres screened the black-and-white version.

Carmen Comes Home was followed by a sequel, Carmen's Pure Love (1952), shot entirely in black-and-white, which film historian Alexander Jacoby called an "uneasy, somewhat misanthropic satire" in contrast to the "tender humour" of its predecessor. Donald Richie was of a different opinion: while he called Carmen Comes Home one "of the better comedies", he saw its successor as "the greatest [satire] made in Japan".

Legacy
A digital restoration of the film was carried out by IMAGICA with support from the Japan Foundation using an internegative color copy made by Shochiku from 1975. The restored film premiered at the 2012 Venice Film Festival.

Filmmaker Akira Kurosawa cited Carmen Comes Home as one of his 100 favorite films.

Plantation Reserve Sugar is a product of the West Indies Sugar & Trading Company of Barbados and is a coarser, lighter raw cane sugar with a distinctive natural taste. The product itself is only made using sugarcane selected and harvested when sucrose content is at its peak. This occurs during a 2-week period of the 5 month harvest season and provides exceptionally pure juice for the mills. This juice purity allows the production of naturally larger crystals through a unique process that takes almost three times longer than that used for normal sugar.

Background

Plantation Reserve has been developed with the government of Barbados in order to ensure the sustainability of the Barbados sugar industry. The company pays almost twice as much as any equivalent sugar product reflecting both the unique process required to produce Plantation Reserve and a need to ensure that farmers to make a reasonable margin. This is part of an effort to support the Barbados sugar industry, under threat from a decline in the subsidised price traditionally paid for sugar by the European Union. Sugar is important to Barbados not only from a foreign exchange and aesthetic perspective, helping to keep the island attractive for tourism, but also protects the island’s thin layer of topsoil and prevents flooding. The company also supports the sugar heritage of Barbados in conjunction with the Barbados National Trust and is based at the Morgan Lewis sugar mill, Barbados – the oldest surviving wind-powered mill in the world, which still grinds canes for Plantation Reserve.

Markets

Plantation Reserve is primarily sold through the English speaking Caribbean, including Barbados, and the United Kingdom, although no UK supplier can be identified as of November 2017. As of February 2020 it is available at Home Bargains and B&M.

Response

It has been used at the Ritz Hotel, London and Sandy Lane Hotel in Barbados as well as in The Cliff restaurant and at the Royal enclosure at Ascot races. Chefs use the natural flavour of Plantation Reserve in small quantities to enhance dishes such as crème brûlée and to add flavour to dressings, sauces and desserts. According to Sandy Lane’s executive pastry chef, Cameron Steele, "If you smelled and tasted Plantation Reserve blind against other golden sugars, you would definitely spot the difference. It has a buttery caramel taste and a more intense, deep flavour and aroma than any other sugar. It is very, very different."

Other than cooking, it is used on porridge and to enhance the taste of teas and coffees.

Coming Up to Breathe is the fourth studio album by Christian rock band MercyMe. Released on April 25, 2006, by INO Records, the album was intended by MercyMe to be edgier than their previous albums. Coming Up to Breathe sold 58,000 copies its first week, MercyMe's biggest sales week at the time. It debuted and peaked at number one on the Billboard Christian Albums chart, number five on the Rock Albums chart, and number thirteen on the Billboard 200. It also appeared on the Alternative Albums chart in 2007, peaking at number thirteen. Coming Up to Breathe was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 2007, signifying shipments of over 500,000 copies.

Coming Up to Breathe received positive reviews from critics. It was also nominated for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album at the 49th Grammy Awards, and for Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year at the 38th GMA Dove Awards. The song "Bring the Rain" was nominated for Song of the Year at the 39th GMA Dove Awards.

Three singles were released in promotion of Coming Up to Breathe. Lead single "So Long Self" peaked at number one on the Christian Songs chart, spending four weeks atop that chart. The second single from the album, "Hold Fast", peaked at number three on the Christian Songs chart. The third and final single from the album, "Bring the Rain", spent one week at number one on the Christian Songs chart. "So Long Self" and "Hold Fast" also appeared on the Adult Contemporary chart, peaking at number sixteen and number twenty-seven, respectively.

Background
According to lead vocalist Bart Millard, MercyMe had started as a rock band and had wanted to make a rock record. Following the success of their breakthrough single "I Can Only Imagine", a ballad, they were advised to "duplicate ['I Can Only Imagine'] on the next two records". Millard says they felt that they were at a point where "we are known more for ballads than the rock band we wanted to be". With the consent of their label, which felt there was a trend towards heavier music, MercyMe decided to make an "edgier" record. In particular the band focused on up-tempo songs; Millard noted that while the songs are still pop rock songs, the band tried to put a bit more edge into them. Additionally, the band decided to work with producer Brown Bannister, who had produced the group's Christmas record and Millard's solo album Hymned No. 1, as opposed to Pete Kipley, who had produced the band's previous three albums. Bannister's producing style was different from Kipley's; while Kipley was a hands-on producer, "involved in every part of the song", Bannister would wait until the band had "run down all [their] avenues" before giving input. The band felt Bannister was an "amazing encourager" and were satisfied with the Christmas album Bannister had produced with them; although they felt Kipley did a great job on their previous records, improving themselves as a band and as songwriters, they felt it was "time for a change". Another factor in the decision to use Bannister was his previous recording experience; Bannister had produced one of Millard's favorite albums, White Heart's 1989 album Freedom. The different approach the band took with Bannister resulted in a sometimes "radical" approach, with the band "taking songs apart, putting them back together and, at times, totally reinventing them". One song, "Something About You", shifted from "an aggressive rock song to a soaring anthem".

The tracks on Coming Up to Breathe were recorded in Allaire Studios in Shokan, New York; the studio had previously hosted artists such as Norah Jones, Tim McGraw, and David Bowie. Overdubs were recorded at Oxford Sound in Nashville, Tennessee. Strings were recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, England by the London Session Orchestra. Recording sessions at Allaire started in October 2005, and lasted a month.

Composition
Although Coming Up to Breathe possesses an overall heavier tone than MercyMe's previous albums, it has been described as an extension or a shift in presentation rather than a total departure. The sound of the album has been described as epitomizing the genre of modern rock. Guitars and guitar solos are more prominent on the album.

As a whole, the album does not mention Jesus directly by name; the only song to do so, "Bring the Rain" uses his name in the refrain "Jesus, bring the rain". "I Would Die for You" is also a tribute to a teen who died after serving on a mission field. "One Trick Pony" is a response to MercyMe's critics who argue that the band recycles the same song over and over. "So Long Self" is about bidding farewell to sinful nature, while "Hold Fast" is a reminder of God's presence through difficult times. "Something About You" and "3:42 a.m. (Writer's Block)" both relate to the difficulty of writing a song about an omnipotent God.

Critical reception

Coming Up to Breathe received positive reception from music critics. Steve Losey of Allmusic gave the album four out of five stars, saying, "In a concerted effort to revert back to the days when they were more a rock band and less of a hitmaking machine, MercyMe delivers. While it's certainly not heavy metal, the songs definitely keep driving forward. Guitars are more prominent and production leans on a more earthy formula... MercyMe is able to rock on portions of each song but they always bring it back to a memorable chorus or a hooky verse. That's the formula that has always worked for them, and it does here, too." Deborah Evans Price of Billboard noted, "For the most part, MercyMe has built a multi-platinum foundation on compelling power ballads. But on this set, the Texas band rocks out with passion and edgy intensity. It doesn't stray so far that it would alienate the faithful, but it delivers a powerful collection of pop/rock that should take the band's career to a new level." She also praised Millard's vocals and called it a "landmark album in an already impressive career". Mark Joseph of CCM Magazine gave the album a B-; he called the album "enjoyable" but suggesting that a stronger producer or A&R team would have resulted in better lyrics. Tony Cummings of Cross Rhythms gave the album nine out of ten stars, praising the vocals and string arrangements as well as the choir on "Bring the Rain". Russ Breimeier of The Fish called Coming Up to Breathe MercyMe's "best album to date" and an "impressive step in the right direction for a band that many have pegged to be too formulaic", but derided the album's "simplistic songwriting".

Lauren Summerford of Jesus Freak Hideout gave the album four out of five stars, calling it "unlike anything we've heard from [MercyMe] so far" and "undeniably strong project from MercyMe". She suggested that some of the lyrics off the album are too predictable, but said that "some places [on the album] display some of the best songwriting we have heard from the band so far". Brian Mansfield of USA Today gave the album two-and-a-half out of four stars, opining that it "has the feel of a blockbuster rock album" but suggesting that the Christian songwriting on the record would limit its success.

Coming Up to Breathe was nominated for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album at the 49th Grammy Awards. It was also nominated for Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year at the 38th GMA Dove Awards. "Bring the Rain" was nominated for Dove Award for Song of the Year at the 39th GMA Dove Awards.

Singles
Three singles were released in promotion of Coming Up to Breathe. "So Long Self" was released on March 18, 2006 as the lead single from the album. It was added by fifty-two Christian AC stations in its first week, a record for the most first-week adds in the history of Christian AC radio. It peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart, spending a total of four weeks at the top of that chart. It also appeared on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, peaking at number sixteen. "So Long Self" ranked at number ten on the 2006 year-end Hot Christian Songs chart.

The second single from Coming Up to Breathe, "Hold Fast" was released on September 4, 2006. It peaked at number three on the Hot Christian Songs chart and at number twenty-seven on the Adult Contemporary chart.

The final single from the album, "Bring the Rain", was released on March 24, 2007. It peaked at number one on the Hot Christian Songs chart. It ranked at number five on the 2007 year-end Hot Christian Songs chart and at number forty-nine on the decade-end Hot Christian Songs chart. An album cut, "No More No Less", spent one frame on the Hot Christian Songs chart, debuting and peaking at number thirty.

Release
Coming Up to Breathe was released on April 25, 2006. Coming Up to Breathe sold 58,000 copies in its first week, debuting atop the Christian Albums chart and at number 13 on the Billboard 200. The album beat out MercyMe's previous best sales week (56,000 copies), which came following the release of their 2004 album "Undone". "Coming Up to Breathe" also peaked at number 5 on the Rock Albums chart and number 13 on the Alternative Albums chart during its chart run. Coming Up to Breathe ranked at number 6 on 2006 year-end Christian Albums chart, and at number 14 on the 2007 year-end Christian Albums chart. In 2007, the album was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America, signifying shipments of 500,000 copies.

An acoustic version of the album, Coming Up to Breathe: Acoustic, was released in late 2007 and peaked at number 22 on the Christian Albums chart.

Cleveland Denny (died July 7, 1980) was a Guyanese boxer.

Amateur career
Denny represented Guyana as a lightweight at the 1976 Olympic games. He did not compete due to his country boycotting over the inclusion of New Zealand. Denny technically had a first round bye, and lost to Bogdan Gajda of Poland on a walk-over.

Pro career
Denny turned pro in 1976, fighting out of Montreal, and was unbeaten in his first 11 pro fights, including a win over Jean LaPointe in 1977 for the Canadian lightweight title. Denny lost the belt the following year to Gaetan Hart by split decision. In a 10-round rematch on June 20, 1980, Denny was knocked out with 12 seconds left in the 10th and final round.  Sportswriter David Johnston of the Gazette of Montreal wrote that "Late in the 10th round, Hart caught Denny with an uppercut as he pulled away, and charged in with a series of punches that shook his opponent.  By the time Denny had slumped back against a ring post, the 67-year-old referee, Rosario Bailargeon, made a motion to stop the fight, but hesitated.  Hart rushed past and hit Denny with about five more punches, sending him to the canvas, his jaw locked on his mouthpiece."

Death
Denny died of injuries sustained in the bout with Hart in Montreal, 17 days after the fight. This bout was on the undercard of the first Sugar Ray Leonard-Roberto Durán bout. After the loss, Denny's widow filed suit against Hart, the Montreal Athletic Commission and the Olympic Installations Board, and others.

The Diocese of Iglesias () is a Latin Church diocese of the Catholic Church in Sardinia. It is a suffragan of the archdiocese of Cagliari.

History

The Diocese of Sulci was an episcopal seat as early as the seventh century. After its decline the bishop of Sulci took up his residence at the village of Tratalias; in 1503 the seat was officially moved to Iglesias but in 1514 the Diocese was reunited with the Archdiocese of Cagliari

In 1763 the see was re-established, and Luigi Satta appointed bishop.

The cathedral of Iglesias (then Villa di Chiesa) was erected by the Pisans in 1285, but has been restored in later times. The previous cathedral located in Tratalias was built in a Pisan-Romanesque style between 1213 and 1282.
