The Corpo Nazionale Giovani Esploratori ed Esploratrici Italiani (translation: National Corps of Italian Scouts and Guides, CNGEI) is a coeducational and non-denominational Scouting and Guiding association in Italy.

CNGEI was founded by Carlo Colombo (1869–1918), a Piedmontese physician, as a male-only organization in 1913 and integrated the female Unione delle Giovinette Esploratrici Italiane (UNGEI) in 1976. It is the oldest among Italian Scout associations and the third by membership, with about 13,500 members.

Along with the 184,000-strong Associazione Guide e Scouts Cattolici Italiani (AGESCI), CNGEI forms the Italian Scout Federation (FIS), Italy's national member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) and the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS). CNGEI, whose guiding principles are "secularity" (i.e. "independen[ce] from any religious creed and political ideologies"), "co-education", "associative democracy", "adult choice" and "civil commitment", aims at "educating the good citizen: a citizen capable of taking autonomous and responsible choices; [a citizen who is] personally active in promoting solidarity, universal rights, peace, environment protection; a citizen who follows a personal spiritual path oriented at giving a sense to his/her life".

Ojos Locos Sports Cantina y Casino is a casino in North Las Vegas, Nevada. The property is owned and operated by Fifth Street Gaming. It includes an Ojos Locos sports bar and restaurant, as well as a 90-room hotel known as Hotel Jefe.

History

Budget Host Inn
In June 1995, after spending eight years in bankruptcy, the Budget Host Inn was acquired at auction for $1.1 million by Shawn Scott, owner of the Post Office Casino in Henderson.

Cheyenne Hotel (1995–99)
Scott renamed it as the Cheyenne Hotel, and made plans to revitalize the run-down property, including reopening the restaurant and lounge and adding a hotel tower and a casino, taking advantage of the site's grandfathered gaming status. He requested a license for 75 slot machines and 2 table games, but the Nevada Gaming Commission in December 1996 issued only an 11-month limited license for 25 machines, finding his record management to be sloppy. By 1997, the Cheyenne was operating as a Days Inn.

In 1998, MTR Gaming, the West Virginia-based parent company of the Mountaineer Racetrack, acquired the Cheyenne for $5.5 million in cash.

Ramada Hotel and Speedway Casino (1999–2008)
MTR said it would complete an expansion already in progress, adding  of gaming space with  350 slot machines and 5 table games, and would rename the property as the Speedway Hotel & Casino and add a motor racing theme, in reference to the nearby Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The hotel became a Ramada Inn. The casino opened in March 1999, leased to Dynasty Games, with 143 slot machines. MTR received its gaming license the following September, and said it would take over operation of the casino on October 1. The official grand opening was held in March 2000, with the casino having expanded to over 300 slot machines, with table games and a Leroy's sportsbook, racing-themed dining areas, and a racecar simulator.

By November 2000, the property had failed to turn a profit, and was taking measures to attract value-conscious guests, including Hispanics, Nellis Air Force Base personnel, and North Las Vegas residents. By 2004, MTR was reporting annual net revenue of $9.8 million at the Speedway.

In February 2007, MTR agreed to sell the complex to Mandekic Cos. for $18.2 million. Mandekic assigned its agreement in May to Ganaste, LLC, a partnership of three investors managed by Seth Schorr, son of Wynn Resorts COO Marc Schorr. The buyers hoped to use the Speedway as a training ground to learn the gaming business before moving on to other acquisitions. The sale of the land and buildings was completed in January 2008 for $11.4 million, with MTR continuing to operate the casino, leasing it for $70,000 a month.

Lucky Club Hotel and Casino (2008–2023)
Ganaste took full ownership in June 2008, and promptly renamed the property as the Lucky Club Casino and Hotel.

An electrical fire on June 9, 2008 forced the casino to close for two weeks while critical equipment was repaired.
Nevada Gaming Commission approvals in 2013 indicated that a reorganization plan was approved and new ownership was held by Lucky Silver Gaming (LSG). LSG is owned by Seth Schorr, Jeff Fine and other partners. It has since been renamed Fifth Street Gaming.

In 2018, the property was listed for sale with an asking price of $13 million, but it was not sold.

Ojos Locos and Hotel Jefe (2023–present)
Plans were announced in 2022 to renovate and rebrand the property to cater to the Latino community, centered around the addition of an Ojos Locos sports bar and restaurant. The property opened as Ojos Locos Sports Cantina y Casino on February 6, 2023. It was the first Nevada location for Ojos Locos, and the first to include a casino. The adjacent 90-room hotel was also renovated and renamed Hotel Jefe.

The Prince of Grão-Pará was the title bestowed on the eldest son of the Prince Imperial of Brazil. The title holder was the second in the line of succession to the throne of the Empire of Brazil, after the Prince Imperial. The title was established by article 105 of the 1824 Brazilian Constitution, which read:

O Herdeiro  do Imperio terá o Titulo de "Principe Imperial" e o seu Primogenito o de "Principe do Grão Pará" todos os mais terão o de "Principes". O tratamento do Herdeiro  será o de "Alteza Imperial" e o mesmo será o do Principe do Grão Pará: os outros Principes terão o Tratamento de Alteza.
(The heir presumptive of the Empire will have the title of "Prince Imperial" and his first born son the title of "Prince of Grão-Pará", all the others shall have that of "Prince". The style of the heir presumptive and the Prince of Grão-Pará will be "Imperial Highness": the other princes will have the style of "Highness".)

The only holder of the title under the constitution was Prince Pedro de Alcântara of Orléans-Braganza, who was the eldest son of Isabel, Princess Imperial of Brazil, and grandson of Emperor Pedro II. He held the title from his birth in 1875 until after the Brazilian monarchy was abolished in 1889.

The only known documented and official exception was Princess Maria da Glória, who was created Princess of Grão-Pará in her own right by her father, Pedro I of Brazil, after the birth of his heir apparent, Prince Imperial Pedro (later Pedro II). She used the title in her capacity as second in the line of succession to the Brazilian throne from December 1825 to April 1826, until her father abdicated the throne of Portugal in her favor, and she became Queen Maria II.

However, after the fall of the monarchy, the family maintained the use of their titles of right. In 1909 Prince Pedro Henrique of Orléans-Braganza was born, son of Prince Luís, styled Prince Imperial of Brazil, and therefore was titled Prince of Grão-Pará until the death of his father in 1920, becoming Prince Imperial.

Psychoanalytic criminology is a method of studying crime and criminal behaviour that draws from Freudian psychoanalysis. This school of thought examines personality and the psyche (particularly the unconscious) for motive in crime. Other areas of interest are the fear of crime and the act of punishment.

Criminal behaviour is attributed to maladjustment and dysfunctional personality. According to Buhagiar, "psychoanalytic criminologists were not adverse to the principle of confinement, and often favored increased penality".

Freudian Psychoanalysis
Sigmund Freud is the established original psychoanalyst to form theories and concepts surrounding the existence of mental illness and its interconnected nature with human behaviour.  Throughout his research, Freud concluded that behaviour can be explained through the analysis of one's experiences and trauma giving accountability to the motivation of a person's actions. The interpretation of his findings concluded a person can adapt his/her behaviour from childhood experiences to become a part of the hidden consciousness state. He studied unobservable behaviour, parts of the personality that are not visibly noticeable within one's nature and on a basic level cannot be explained.

In 1923, Freud formed an idea that the theoretical human mind had three elements that conceptually make up ‘The Psyche’. Id (instincts), Ego (reality) and Superego (morality) are not tangible physical areas within the brain, rather, entities that Freud concluded make up the human personality. What Freud referred to as the "psychic apparatus", three elements of the human personality are now established as the unconscious level that dictates one's desires and biological instincts (see section ‘Attributed Neurobiological Factors’ for more details).

Freud did not directly use his research and theories to explain how a person is led to commit a crime, but the application of his theories has been adapted by psychologists and psychoanalysts to understand the connection between the unconscious mind and criminalistic tendencies and actions.

Within the realm of science, the study into psychoanalysis has been contested and debated according to its validity.

History

Psychoanalytic criminology may be said to have begun with a 1911 study of parricide; but its real foundation came in 1916 when Freud published Criminality from a Sense of Guilt, in which he maintained that many criminals were driven by unconscious guilt which preceded the crime and led to a need for punishment. In applying psychoanalysis to the question of determining guilt or innocence in any given case, Freud was insistent however that analysis could only identify the guilty impulse, not necessarily the act itself.

Another major contribution came in 1929 with the book by Franz Alexander and Hugo Staub entitled The Criminal, the Judge and the Public. They drew a clear distinction between the normal criminal, for whom retribution was appropriate, and the neurotic criminal who needed treatment instead.

Otto Fenichel added the point that while some criminals actively sought punishment to relieve their unconscious guilt, others sought to avoid punishment in order to prove their guilt feelings were unjustified.
He also stressed that criminality was a legal, not a psychological category, and considered most criminals were normals rather than neurotics (if still with unconscious motivations and possible lacks in normal consciences).

Psychoanalytic criminology was further developed by August Aichhorn, Melanie Klein, Fritz Redl, and David Wineman.

Sociological Association to Crime

The sociological and environmental association to crime represents the "nurture" element of the term "Nature vs Nurture". An individual's social environment has a central effect on a person's moral compass, political ideology and potential personality traits. These aspects mould the identity of a person and inflict subconscious psychological effect on everyday behaviour, attitudes and criminogenic needs.

Research over the past 5 years indicates that a victim of a crime becomes more susceptible to expressing their trauma and/or psychological through violence and aggression. This is widely accepted as being the result of fostered trauma such as sexual assault or domesticated violence from early childhood. Consistent subjection to violence and abuse have shown correlative data that reflect dysfunctional behaviour and antisocial personality traits later on in life. Correlative variables do not indicate direct causation but lead to an additional variable leading to crime, for example, aggression and violent behaviour.
Research has been conducted in both adult and children populations to investigate if there is a link between abuse in early life and incarcerated individuals. A published paper in 1999 explored an investigative review of 150 female inmates within maximum-security facilities. Browne, Miller and Maguin conducted interviews with each female individual and their results showed a high correlative pattern of early domesticated abuse leading to the motivation of crime. 70% of incarcerated women within the facility reported having experienced child sexual molestation, severe physical violence by parents and/or sexual violence by an acquittance or partner at some point in their life. Within the same sample, 78% claimed to have experienced a traumatic event within their life that had resulted in being diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Differential association claims that all criminals learn and adapt behaviours from individuals they are closely connected to, for example a relative or spouse. The theory recognises that the more contact an individual has will a criminal – the more likely one is to engage in criminalistic activities.  Anomie, a theory proposed by Robert K. Merton explores the idea of social disintegration leading to crime. This theory focuses on individuals who are incapable of achieving their desired goals in society through legal and socially accepted means. In order to attain financial support or material goods, crime will emerge in time of desperation. This set or of moral values appeals towards the criminal subculture that disassociated to the rest of society - often stemming from a collective emotion of marginalisation e.g., gangs. This type of delinquency is strongly associated towards the low socio-economic class; poor and rural.

Neutralisation theory recognises that the average individual is deterred from crime as violent actions go against standardised moral standing as it leaves the individual with feelings of guilt and shame. The theory explores that some delinquent individuals attempt to ‘neutralise’ this sense guilt that provides relief therefore they internally condone their criminalistic behaviour. Individuals that possess tendencies to neutralise their behaviour, often conform to societally accepted behaviour and represent strong morals. By redefining their actions, it facilitates the individual commit crimes with more ease.
Low self-control theory of crime enforces impulsive and risk-taking action, individuals that possess this trait seek short term satisfaction rather than long-term resulting in poor decision making and spontaneous violence against another individual. In contrast, labelling theory introduces the idea that by identifying an individual as a criminal will increasingly advocate the person to adopt criminal-like tendencies. By acquiring this identity, the individual may endorse feelings of isolation and rejection and become more estranged from feeling obligated to follow the law.

Attributed Neurobiological Factors

The study into the unconscious motive for criminal behaviour takes into account the uncontrollable variables human possesses such as the neurobiological pathways and reactions. The biochemical association towards crime must acknowledge psychophysiology, brain mechanism and genetic factors that contribute towards dysfunctional personalities.

Blunted autonomic functioning (BAF) has been linked to individuals with antisocial behaviour and criminalistic tendencies. BAF is the state in which an individual has a reduced response to stimuli resulting in a low arousal capacity towards material that would otherwise cause distress and fear within the standard person. This has been recorded to induce a positive feedback loop, the low arousal level creates a low resting heart rate which then accounts for a reduced psychical response. This physiological trait creates a sense of fearlessness as the individual with BAF does not experience the standardised physiological responses to distress that can be associated with discomfort. The lack of discomfort arouses the individual to engage in criminalistic behaviour to increase their arousal state as the person tends to have high levels of proactive aggression which does not deter the individual from carrying out criminal acts. Proactive aggression is the act of violence and rebel with little to no provocation.
BAF impairs emotional intelligence by disallowing the development of feelings of shame, guilt and empathy hence resulting in psychopathic tendencies, behaviours and traits.

Physical somatic markers such as sweat conduction, give insight into the inter-relation between the emotional and physical state of an individual. The somatic changes of a person indicate the emotional state of a person while undergoing or viewing distressing material. The lack of somatic changes increases the likelihood to engage in crime as the individual cannot experience physical or emotional states that signal emotional discomfort to dissuade a person from committing violent crimes or generally violating the law.

The brain is acknowledged for contributing a key role in increasing tendencies that will ultimately lead to crime.  The pre-frontal cortex and amygdala have a combined role in determining an individual's emotional state and his/her ability to recognise expressive emotions from the facial and auditory stimulus, particularly from negative and fearful emotions.

The Pre-frontal cortex (PFC) functions to form decision-making, moral reasoning, impulse regulation and attention and emotional control for individuals. Impairments and aberrations within these areas have led to observed criminalistic behaviours.
A study conducted in 2018  reviewed 17 patients with brain lesions in research of identifying common characteristics of the effect of their injuries. The results concluded that regardless of the area of damaged tissue in the PFC, the patients were all left with disruption to their neuro-moral processes resulting in poor decision making and overall moral compass. These traits are associated with provoking criminal behaviours.
Neurological pathways within the PFC cannot account for and explain all types of criminalistic tendencies that are found within individuals. The PFC influence criminals that have obvious signs and behaviours of violent and sadistic attitudes and behaviours. ‘White-collar’ criminals and successful psychopaths show standardised activity within their PFC with no signs of prefrontal deficits. In some cases, these types of criminals show increased activity within this lobe compared the average person which would otherwise indicate a strong moral compass and justified decision making.

The amygdala enables an individual to recognise auditory and facials expressions of emotions, especially ones that entail negative emotions. It also functions to condition fear into human behaviour hence to understand cues within their environment to trigger a fear response. These functions are understood to form a person's sense of morality and the ‘fight-or-flight’ response (Brealey, 2014). The amygdala also assists a person to mediate and assess risk for themselves and to protect others. A properly functioning amygdala deters individuals from risky behaviour. A person with an underdeveloped amygdala has the inability to detect negative emotions from another individual resulting in antisocial behaviour, as well as being incapable of understanding threat from their surroundings. Within adults, reduced volume of the amygdala increases the likelihood that the individual will display psychopathic characteristics (Ling Shichun, 2019).
There are important distinctions to make to the effect and activity the amygdala has between subtype of offenders. Empirical research suggests that non-psychopathic criminals, those who react in an impulsive and emotional-aggressive way, displayed amygdala hypoactivity, which is defined as slowed neurological reactions within the lobe often associated with apathy and motor retardation.

Freudians theories are applicable within the biology realm as his concepts of the Id are associated with biological tendencies. Eros and Thanatos are believed to be under the unconscious set of instincts that are related to survival strategies, ones that drive humans to act on pleasure and desire.
Freud understood that all instincts and human behaviour could not fall all into the one instinct category, rather he came to the conclusion that all behaviours fall into one of the two categories: Eros (life instincts) or Thanatos (death instincts).
Eros is believed to have derived through adaption in order to enforce procreation for the species, this drive complex exerts desires for a one to engage in sexual relations with another individual. Positive emotions are associated this complex such as love, compassion, social cooperation and affections. The death instinct, Thanatos, enforces opposing drives for the individuals resulting in negative behavioural attributes and a poor state of wellbeing. These can be displayed in a person through aggression and violent mannerism, often these feelings can cause mental illness causing self-harm and suicidal thoughts or actions. Freud supported his theories by concluding that Thanatos drove people to react or re-enact on traumatic experiences from their past often leading to many criminal offences. His theories explain this concept is derived from unconscious desire to die. Freud recognised that largely people have inherited survival drives, and his theories were counter-intuitive towards the majority of mentally sane individuals. The internal conflict between Eros and Thanatos cause contrary desires causing the potential for anxiety. It is concluded in Freuds theories that life instincts hinder much of what the death instincts subconsciously desire.

Dysfunctional & Antisocial Personality

The relationship between personality and criminalistic traits is assessed using a variety of independent measures to detect psychopathic traits. Assessing a dysfunctional lifestyle is carried out through the measure of, lack of empathy, wide mood swings, impulsive and egocentric behaviour. Antisocial behaviour is often categorising people that have a lack of sensitivity towards other individuals and disregard for people's right to safety and emotional wellbeing. Studies into recidivist criminals shows that their personality centres around enabling the individual to attack others and creating formulated crimes. Once and individual senses there is organisation within their crime, empirical studies have shown that it incites compulsive crime. Crime-prone personalities begin to dissociate the physical human being from their thoughts and feelings allowing violent and repetitive assault of other individuals.

Abnormal thinking and dysfunctional personality have correlative patterns that show similar emotional capacity that is displayed within behaviour. Professor Hans Eysenck distinguish three antisocial personality traits that become apparent through behaviour, the traits indicate criminalistic tendencies through their dysfunctional state. The first dimension that is recognised is the tendency for the individual to be impulsive and aggressive, generally describes as psychoticism. Neuroticism is the second aspect of Eysenck's research, resulting in individuals to have a low self-esteem and mood swings. The third is extrovertive traits such as being dominant, assertive and thrill-seeking.

Investigations into the interlink between murderers and their dysfunctional and antisocial personalities explore their psychological and behavioral traits. They revealed that there was a lack of standard productivity levels, reduced imaginative and intellectual capacity, and the disability to form relationships. A weak social identity was also recorded as a result of inmates with drug-dependent behavior and higher rates of emotional instability, leading to suicidal thoughts and behaviors. The lack of potent social skills is strongly associated with poor self-esteem and intense psychological anxiety and hostility.

Criticism

Forensic psychiatry saw psychoanalytic criminology in a relatively negative light, with the twin dangers of acting as an apologist for the criminal and oversimplifying criminal motivation at the fore.

Others have seen an inherent contradiction between value-neutral psychoanalysis, committed to healing, and the demands of the legal system; while Thomas Szasz objected to the open-ended, paternalistic concept of 'treating' the neurotic criminal as an infringement of human rights in the name of social control.

Living Faith Church Worldwide (also known as Winners' Chapel) is an international Evangelical charismatic Christian denomination. The headquarters is located in Ota, Nigeria. The organization has since become a global network of churches with over 6 million members in 147 countries.

History
The beginning of the church manifested on May 2, 1981, when David Oyedepo (aged 26) had a spiritual encounter while lodging in one of the rooms within the International Hotel located in the Omi-Asoro Quarters of Ilesa city, in the present day Osun State of Nigeria. He claimed to have an eighteen-hour supernatural encounter which was a vision from God. God spoke to him saying, "Now the hour has come to liberate the world from all oppressions of the devil, through the preaching of the Word of faith; and I am sending you to undertake this task". In 1983, the church began operating with four members on December 11.

Faith Tabernacle

Canaanland was procured in 1998 and was initially . It is in Ota, Ogun, Nigeria. The church's international headquarters, Faith Tabernacle, was built in Cannanland between 1998 and 1999, taking twelve months to complete. The foundation laying took place on August 29, 1998.

In 1999, the Faith Tabernacle was inaugurated with 50,400 seats.

On Dec 11 2013, Oyedepo's first son, David Oyedepo Jnr, ministered for the first time at the church's annual Shiloh gathering.

In December 2015, Oyedepo Jnr became the resident pastor of the Faith Tabernacle. Oyedepo announced the commencement of the construction of a 100,000 capacity sanctuary called "The Ark" (It was formerly called Faith Theatre). The Ark will specifically take 106,000 seats and will include a 20 Floor Mission Tower (International Headquarters Facility). It is to be built on the site of the old Faith Academy adjoining Faith Tabernacle which will now become its overflow facility. The groundbreaking of the project took place on Thursday 25 March 2021.

Organization

As of 2014, the Church was in 65 countries.

Dominion Publishing House
The publishing house that grew out of Winner's Chapel was founded on 5 December 1992. Dominion Publishing House has published over 120 books, most of which have been written by Oyedepo.

Beliefs
The Church is founded upon twelve core emphases called the 12-Pillars. The theological position of the church is Pentecostal.

The denomination has a charismatic confession of faith.

Education
Several educational institutions are linked to the chapel, including Covenant University, Landmark University, Faith Academy and over 150 Kingdom Heritage Model Schools. In addition, there is a ministry training college called The Word of Faith Bible Institute.

United Kingdom
In 2014, the church applied to open a Kingdom Heritage Model School in Kent. Concerns were raised by the National Secular Society about the church linking disobedience to witchcraft. The application was later withdrawn.

Shiloh
Every year in December, the church hosts a global event called Shiloh. The church says the mandate for this event is drawn from the Bible books of Joshua 18:1 and 1Samuel 1:3. The event is held mostly in the first week of December.

The church sees the purpose of the event as being to usher the visitation of God to his people. It also marks the end of the Church's calendar year.

As of 2012, there were millions in attendance. The Presiding Bishop also said up to 160 nations hooked up to Shiloh 2015, with nationals from 55 nations present at the Canaanland, Ota, Ogun State.

The Pacific Marine Ecozone, as defined by the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC), is a Canadian and American marine ecozone extending to the international waters of the Pacific Ocean from the coasts of Alaska, British Columbia, Washington and Oregon. The islands within the Canadian portion are part of the adjacent Pacific Maritime ecozone.

Famous for its tourism and an important shipping channel for Canada, the zone is subject to intense human activity which has damaged ecosystems. Primary effects include overfishing, pollution and even direct habitat destruction. The large and increasing population in nearby coastal areas, including the major centres of Vancouver and Seattle, exerts significant strain on the natural habitats within this ecozone.

Geography
The large rivers flowing from the Rocky Mountains are a source of nutrients for this ecologically diverse region. They enter the shallow waters over the continental shelf, which underlays the entire ecozone and represents the edge of the North American tectonic plate. This plate is constantly folding under the Pacific Plate, causing volcanic activity at their juncture and earthquakes along the coast.

Climate
The land barrier imposed by the Alaskan cape prevents much of the cold arctic currents from flowing south along the west coast, so there is little oceanic water exchanged between the Arctic and Pacific ecozones. The moderating effect of the Pacific Ocean results in a nearly constant year-round temperature in this ecozone. The Alaska Peninsula also inhibits the flow of cold Arctic currents from entering this zone, ensuring that throughout its extent, there is little variation in temperature. In fact, there is little exchange of oceanic waters between the Pacific Ocean and the Arctic Ocean. Ice forms here infrequently, and only in its northern areas in the Bering Sea and the Sea of Okhotsk.

Since Tiger Hill is the highest peak in the sector, it overlooks National Highway 1 that connects Srinagar to Kargil, and is the main supply route of the Kargil sector. Any enemy atop the peak would have a direct line of sight onto the headquarters of India's 56 Brigade, the main Indian unit in the area, and as well as a 25 km stretch of highway, thus hindering the movement of troops and supplies. The peak also offered a surveillance point onto other nearby peaks.

Battle

Tiger Hill was illegally captured by elements of the Pakistan Army's Northern Light Infantry during Kargil War. The 8th battalion, Sikh Regiment (8 Sikh) attempted to regain Tiger Hill in late May 1999, but they were unsuccessful. Further attempts to regain were also repulsed, and Indian troops dug in around the hill. The final attempt began on 3 July at 17:15 with an artillery bombardment. 8 Sikh advanced up the left flank of the mountain, the 2nd Battalion, Naga Regiment (2 Naga) advanced up the right flank, and 200 troops from the Ghatak platoon, Alpha and Charlie Companies of the 18th Battalion, The Grenadiers (18 Grenadiers) scaled a 1,000-foot vertical cliff on the rear side of the mountain. After days of heavy fighting on the peak, 18 Grenadiers seized the mountaintop on the morning of 8 July.

In physics, The Keating Model is a model that theoretical physicist Patrick N. Keating introduced in 1966 to describe forces induced on neighboring atoms when one atom moves in a solid.

The term most often applies to the forces on first- and second-nearest neighboring atoms that arise when an atom is moved in tetrahedrally-bonded solids, such as diamond, silicon, germanium, and a number of other covalent crystals with the diamond or zinc blende structures.

Crystalline solids generally consist of an ordered array of interconnected atoms, generated by repetition of a unit cell in three dimensions, and are of two extreme types—ionic crystals, and covalent crystals. Others are intermediate: partly ionic and partly covalent. Ionic crystals are made up of quite different ions, such as Na+ and Cl− in common salt, for example, while covalent crystals such as diamond are made up of atoms that share electrons in a covalent bond.

In either case, attractive and repulsive forces resist moving an atom/ion or a set of them from their equilibrium positions, thus giving solids their rigidity against compressive, tensile, and shear stresses. The nature and strength of these forces is important for the scientific understanding of solids since they determine the way the solid responds to these stresses (elastic constants), the velocity of sound waves in it, its infra-red absorption, and many other properties.

Description

The Keating model is the result of a general method proposed to ensure that the elastic strain energy satisfies the requirement that it is invariant under a simple rotation of the crystal, without deformation. It is a formalism for the way adjacent and close-by atoms respond when one or more atoms move in covalently bonded crystals. It is also a specific parameterization of this response for diamond, silicon, and germanium. (see the article listed under "Further Reading").

The general method is applicable for small atomic displacements to all crystal structures. It has been extended by P. N. Keating to include anharmonic effects (and calculate third-order elastic constants), and many other researchers have extended it to include forces between the covalent bonds, and augment it in other ways.

The key paper that introduced the model was one of the 50 highest-impact papers over a century of Physical Review publications ). The model has been, and is, used by many research scientists for calculating elastic constants, lattice dynamics, band structure, dislocation strains, atomic configurations at surfaces and interfaces, and other purposes for a wide range of solids, including amorphous (i.e., non-crystalline) materials.

Jaime Soto (born December 31, 1955) is an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church.  He has been serving as bishop of the Diocese of Sacramento in Northern California since 2007.  He previously served as an auxiliary bishop of the Diocese of Orange in Southern California from 2000 to 2007.

Biography

Early life and education
Jaime Soto was born on December 31, 1955, at Daniel Freeman Hospital in Inglewood, California. He is the eldest of seven children of a Mexican family. His father, Oscar Soto, was a telephone company engineer. In 1956, the Soto family moved to Stanton, California, where he attended St. Polycarp School as a child. He also played Mass in his backyard with his siblings, knowing he wanted to be a priest as early as the second grade. Soto graduated from Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, California, in 1974 and he entered St. John's Seminary College in Camarillo, California. He obtained a Bachelor of Philosophy degree there in 1978 and a Master of Divinity degree in 1982.

Priesthood
Soto was ordained to the priesthood for the Diocese of Orange by Bishop William Robert Johnson on June 12, 1982. After his ordination, Soto was appointed as associate pastor of St. Joseph Parish in Santa Ana.  In 1984, he went to New York City to attend the Columbia University School of Social Work, graduating in 1986 with a Master of Social Work degree.

After returning to Orange County, Soto was named associate director of Catholic Charities for the diocese. Later that year, he was appointed director of  immigration and citizenship services within the local Catholic Charities. Soto was involved with the implementation of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 as well.

Soto was appointed episcopal vicar for the Hispanic community in the diocese on March 3, 1989.  He was raised by the Vatican to the rank of honorary prelate in 1990. In addition to his work with the Hispanic community, Soto was named diocesan vicar for charities on March 1, 1999.

Auxiliary Bishop of Orange
On March 23, 2000, Soto was appointed as an auxiliary bishop of the Diocese of Oranges and titular bishop of Segia by Pope John Paul II. He received his episcopal consecration on May 31, 2000, from Bishop Tod Brown, with Bishops Michael Driscoll and Norman  McFarland serving as co-consecrators. On June 11, 2003, Soto served as a principal co-consecrator for Auxiliary Bishop Dominic Mai Luong. Soto attended World Youth Day 2005 in Cologne, Germany, joining nine other American bishops in leading catechetical sessions.

Coadjutor Bishop and Bishop of Sacramento
Soto was named as coadjutor bishop of the Diocese of Sacramento on October 11, 2007, being installed on November 19, 2007, in the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament. He automatically became bishop of Sacramento on November 30, 2008 on the retirement of his predecessor, Bishop William Weigand.

Soto believes that the Catholic Church in America is in a "dire need" for a greater number of Spanish-speaking clergy. He is in favor of a larger role for Latinos in the church community. His self-proclaimed greatest achievements have been counseling Hispanics diagnosed with HIV/AIDS, leading monthly services for inmates at the Orange County Jail, and promoting such Hispanic rituals and events as the Procession of Our Lady of Guadalupe and the Day of the Dead.

USCCB committee positions
Within the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), Soto is chair of the USCCB Committee on Cultural Diversity in the Church, a member of the Committee on Evangelization and Catechesis, and a consultant to the Committee on International Justice and Peace. He is also the chairman of the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc. (CLINIC).

On November 17, 2010, Soto was appointed as the head of the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD), a USCCB agency. The CCHD faced allegations that it funded groups advocating abortion rights, contraception rights and contraception and same-sex marriage. These reports led a coalition of conservative Catholic and anti-abortion groups to launch a boycott of the national collection.  At least ten American bishops announced support for the boycott. Soto's appointment came one day after Archbishop Timothy Dolan was elected USCCB president.

Positions on issues

LGBT rights
In 2008, Soto spoke at a conference for the National Association of Catholic Diocesan Lesbian and Gay Ministries, saying that the "homosexual lifestyle" is sinful. Soto stated:

"Sexual relations between people of the same sex can be alluring for homosexuals but it deviates from the true meaning of the act and distracts them from the true nature of love to which God has called us all. For this reason, it is sinful."

Premarital sex and contraception
In the same speech, Soto spoke against premarital sex stating: "Sexual intercourse, outside of the marriage covenant between a man and a woman, can be alluring and intoxicating but it will not lead to that liberating journey of true self-discovery and an authentic discovery of God. For that reason, it is sinful." Soto said that contraception has become “the unquestioned default mode of marriage.”

Abortion
Soto has officially endorsed the Sacramento Helpers of God's Precious Infants group and has led prayer vigils outside clinics providing abortion services to women.

Immigration
Soto believes that comprehensive immigration reform, if done properly taking into account the concerns of all affected parties, would benefit the country as a whole.

Honors
In 2003, Soto was inducted to the inaugural Mater Dei High School Ring of Honor.

Arthur Turner (died 1949) was a lifelong employee of  Tottenham Hotspur Football Club who served in a number of capacities from 1906 when he joined as secretary of the club.

Career
On the resignation of Fred Kirkham in 1908 the directors of the club decided not to appoint a new manager. However, Turner took responsibility in the main for running the side until December 1912 when Peter McWilliam was appointed manager.

Turner remained at the club and ensured its continuance during the First World War.

Once again, in August 1942 Turner took over as manager and steered the club through the remaining period of the Second World War and the most difficult time in its history. Although the Football League had been suspended during the war years, a fixture list of cup competitions and ‘friendlies’ was fulfilled in the main due to Turner’s efforts to ensure a full team was always fielded. His record as a manager during this period reads:- Played 49, Won 27, Drew 11, Lost 11.

In 1946 he was succeeded as Manager by Joe Hulme. Turner continued to serve the club until his death in 1949, a period totalling some 43 years.

The Bishop of Hulme was an episcopal title used by a suffragan bishop of the Church of England Diocese of Manchester, in the Province of York, England. The See was created by Order in Council on 11 October 1923 (under the Suffragans Nomination Act 1888) and took its name after Hulme, an area of the city of Manchester.

Following the retirement of Stephen Lowe, the last suffragan Bishop of Hulme, in July 2009, the post was axed and its duties were divided between the remaining suffragan bishops of Bolton and of Middleton, who assist the diocesan Bishop of Manchester in overseeing the diocese.

Víctor Sánchez Mata (; born 8 September 1987) is a Spanish professional footballer. A versatile player, he can act as central or defensive midfielder, and is also adaptable to all the defensive positions.

He made 302 La Liga appearances and scored 13 goals, starting his career with Barcelona and having loans at Xerez and Getafe. He spent 8 years at Espanyol, for whom he played 270 games in all competitions.

Club career

Barcelona
Born in Terrassa, Barcelona, Catalonia, and raised in neighbouring Rubí, Sánchez began playing football with local UE Rubí, followed by spells with UFB Jàbac Terrassa and CE Europa before joining FC Barcelona's youth ranks in 2005. In the 2006–07 season, while still with the C side, he played 36 games and scored seven goals. The following campaign he was promoted to the reserves under Pep Guardiola, helping them return to Segunda División B by contributing 31 matches and two goals, although he missed most of the play-offs because of an injury.

Sánchez made his debut for the first team on 2 January 2008, appearing as a right-back in the 2–2 home draw against CD Alcoyano in the Copa del Rey, at the age of 20. His maiden appearance in La Liga took place on 18 March, at UD Almería (2–2 draw, one minute on the field).

With Guardiola in charge of Barças main squad, Sánchez took part in their 2008 pre-season. He made a further seven league appearances for the treble champions, but was mainly associated to the B's.

On 12 August 2009, Sánchez was sent to newly promoted Xerez CD on a season-long loan. He scored his first goal for the team on 28 March 2010, in a 3–0 home victory over Real Valladolid. For 2010–11 he was loaned again, joining Madrid's Getafe CF in a season-long move; again, he was put to use in several defensive positions, as the latter narrowly avoided top-flight relegation.

Sánchez and Barcelona mutually agreed to terminate the contract that linked the player to the club in late June 2011. On the 29th, he signed a two-year deal with Swiss Super League's Neuchâtel Xamax FCS.

Espanyol
In the last minutes of the 2012 winter transfer window, Sánchez returned to his country, penning a three-and-a-half-year contract with Barcelona neighbours RCD Espanyol. Signed by Mauricio Pochettino, he played irregularly for the rest of the season before becoming a mainstay in the side. He scored his first goal on 10 February 2013, in a 4–0 away defeat of Athletic Bilbao. On 11 May, he was sent off for a foul on Real Madrid's Gonzalo Higuaín in a 1–1 draw that gave the league title to his former club.

Sánchez scored twice in a 3–2 home win over Athletic on 23 September 2013 as the Pericos remained unbeaten in five games. He was sent off twice later in the campaign, as their form dipped.

In January 2017, with 18 months remaining of his contract, Sánchez signed a new deal to keep him at the RCDE Stadium until the summer of 2021. On 18 August 2020, following the team's relegation from the top tier, the 33-year-old successfully negotiated a release from his last year.

Western United
Sánchez joined Western United FC on 27 November 2020 on a two-year deal. He made his A-League debut on 28 December, in a 0–0 home draw with Adelaide United FC in the opening game of the season. He scored his first goal the following 23 January, opening a 5–4 defeat of Perth Glory FC.

In early September 2021, Sánchez quit the Melbourne-based club, having felt alienated by the strict COVID-19 lockdowns in the state of Victoria.

Girona
Sánchez returned to both Spain and his native region on 1 February 2022, joining Girona FC on a six-month contract. After dealing with some injury problems, he made his Segunda División debut aged nearly 35, as a second-half substitute in the 1–0 win at Almería on 27 March.

International career
Uncapped by Spain at any level, Sánchez played for the unofficial Catalonia team. He made his debut on 29 December 2013 as a substitute in a 4–1 win against Cape Verde.

The Diocese of Alghero-Bosa () is a Latin Church diocese of the Catholic Church. It is a suffragan of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Sassari, on Sardinia, insular Italy.

The diocese has an area of 2,012; a total population of 106,300; a Catholic population of 105,650; 87 priests, 7 permanent deacons and 176 religious.

The bishops' seat is Alghero Cathedral. Bosa Cathedral is a co-cathedral of the diocese.

History
Alghero was built by the Doria of Genoa in 1102. In 1106 John, Bishop of Alghero, assisted at the consecration of the Church of the Trinity in Saccargia.

After a long period, the see was renewed and confirmed by Pope Julius II in his Papal Bull of 8 December 1503, splitting its territory off from the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Sassari, from the suppressed Roman Catholic Diocese of Bisarcio, Diocese of Castro and Diocese of Ottana. Pietro Parens, a Genoese, became bishop; he was present at the Fifth Lateran Council in 1512.

On 21 July 1779 it lost territory to establish the Diocese of Galtelli-Nuoro. In 1798 it gained territory from the Archdiocese of Sassari. On 9 March 1803 it gained territory from the Diocese of Bosa, and lost territory to establish the Diocese of Bisarcio. On 31 December 1938 it lost territory to the Diocese of Nuoro.

In 1986 the historic Diocese of Alghero was renamed as the Diocese of Alghero–Bosa preserving the title of the diocese of Bosa while absorbing its territory. Alghero Cathedral remains the seat of the diocese, while Bosa Cathedral is now a co-cathedral.

Other major churches in the diocese are the Basilica of Our Lady of the Snows (Santa Maria della Neve) at Cuglieri, and the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Valverde near Alghero.

On Monday, 31 January 2011, the Vatican Information Service (VIS) announced that Pope Benedict XVI had appointed , Professor of Holy Scripture at the Pontifical Theological Faculty of Sardinia, as Bishop-elect of the Diocese of Alghero-Bosa, Italy. He was born in Arborea in 1958, and was ordained a priest in 1986.

"Exterminate!" is a song by German Eurodance group Snap! featuring American singer Niki Haris. It was released in December 1992 as the third single from their second studio album, The Madman's Return (1992), and features vocals by the group's new front woman, Haris. It is based on the track "Ex-Terminator" and was included in later editions of the album. Released first at the end of 1992, it was a hit in several countries, peaking at number-one in Finland and Spain, and number two in the United Kingdom, where it spent 15 weeks on the charts.

A popular version of the song, came from a duet recorded by F. Michael Sky and Farmer Murray in 2003. Critics acclaimed the track as it climbed to the top five songs in Switzerland.

Chart performance
"Exterminate!" peaked at number one in Finland and Spain. It entered the top five in Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands , Switzerland and the United Kingdom, as well as on the Eurochart Hot 100, where it reached number two. In the UK, the song peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart for three weeks. "Exterminate!" also reached the top 10 in Austria, Norway and Portugal (10). Outside Europe, it peaked at number two on the RPM Dance chart in Canada, number six in Zimbabwe, number 25 in New Zealand, number 29 on the US Billboard Dance Club Play, and number 50 in Australia.  In Germany, the single was awarded with a gold record after 250,000 units were shipped.

Critical reception
Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "Former Madonna backing singer steps into the spotlight as the German act's new (at least for the moment) front woman. Electronic hip hop beats are doused with ambient sound effects, while Haris offers an appropriately ominous and forceful vocal. Not as radio-friendly as the previous "Rhythm Is a Dancer", but a savvy club entry that should glide onto playlists." In his weekly UK chart commentary, James Masterton said, "Its chart success so far is somewhat of a surprise being, aside from the one vocal line, almost an instrumental and certainly with little of the quirky appeal of the earlier singles." Sharon O'Connell from Melody Maker felt it's "full of latent power but just sitting on the launch pad."

Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote that it "might not be as accessible on first hearing, but it's actually a killer dance song which chokes you with its chorus with built-in snappy piano riff." A reviewer from Music Week stated, "The trance-like tune builds and builds from a five note riff, while new vocalist Niki Harris manages to fill in some soulful wailing as well as the Dalek's catchphrase. The song hasn't got the same killer pop chorus as "Rhythm Is a Dancer", but its sheer simplicity will win the day." Barbara Ellen from NME commented, "After what seemed like an interminable long and shaky period post "The Power", Snap seem to have rediscovered their dancing feet recently, first with "Rhythm Is a Dancer" and now this upfront, arrestingly sterile disco diversion." Mark Sutherland from Smash Hits gave the song three out of five in his review.

Music video
The accompanying music video for "Exterminate!" was directed by Angel, who had previously directed the video for "Colour of Love". This was the first video that Durron Butler (Turbo B) does not appear. It received heavy rotation on MTV Europe.

George Daniel Mostow (July 4, 1923 – April 4, 2017) was an American mathematician, renowned for his contributions to Lie theory. He was the Henry Ford II (emeritus) Professor of Mathematics at Yale University, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, the 49th president of the American Mathematical Society (1987–1988), and a trustee of the Institute for Advanced Study from 1982 to 1992.

The rigidity phenomenon for lattices in Lie groups he discovered and explored is known as Mostow rigidity. His work on rigidity played an essential role in the work of three Fields medalists, namely Grigori Margulis, William Thurston, and Grigori Perelman.
In 1993 he was awarded the American Mathematical Society's Leroy P. Steele Prize for Seminal Contribution to Research. In 2013, he was awarded the Wolf Prize in Mathematics "for his fundamental and pioneering contribution to geometry and Lie group theory."

Biography

George (Dan) Mostow was born in 1923 in Boston, Massachusetts.  His parents were Jews from Ukraine who immigrated to the United States in the early 20th century.

He received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1948, with a thesis written under the supervision of Garrett Birkhoff. His academic appointments had been at Syracuse University from 1949 to 1952, at Johns Hopkins University from 1952 to 1961, and at Yale University from 1961 until his retirement in 1999.

Mostow was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1974, served as the President of the American Mathematical Society in 1987 and 1988, and was a Trustee of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey from 1982 to 1992. He was awarded the AMS Leroy P. Steele Prize for Seminal Contribution to Research in 1993 for his book Strong rigidity of locally symmetric spaces (1973). He died on April 4, 2017.

Licensed to Kill is an Eastmancolor 1965 superspy imitation James Bond film starring Tom Adams as British secret agent Charles Vine. It was directed and co-written by Lindsay Shonteff. Producer Joseph E. Levine picked it up for American and worldwide distribution and reedited it under the title The Second Best Secret Agent in the Whole Wide World.

The theme song for the American version, composed by Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen and performed by Sammy Davis, Jr., is used in the 2011 film drama Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy.

Plot
Facing numerous assassination attempts, a Swedish scientist who has invented an anti-gravity device and his daughter seek to provide the invention to the United Kingdom. With James Bond unavailable, H.M. Government provides Agent Charles Vine (Tom Adams), a former mathematician, as a bodyguard and assassin.

Production
Based on the success of the film, Columbia Pictures offered director Shonteff a five-picture contract, but they disagreed over conditions.

Welsh Trinity College, Oxford graduate and former RAF Intelligence Howard Griffiths emigrated to Australia where he wrote extensively for Australian television series such as the spy series Hunter (1967), and police shows Division 4, Homicide, and Blue Heelers.

U.S. release

Joseph E. Levine had great financial success after cheaply purchasing an Italian film called Hercules and releasing it in America with a massive publicity campaign, and decided to do the same with Licensed to Kill. However, the American release reedited the film by having the opening assassination performed by a mother pulling a Sten gun out of her pram of twins being changed to a pre-credit scene. Levine engaged songwriters Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen to write a title song performed by Sammy Davis Jr and arranged and conducted by Claus Ogerman over the credits with the new title. The American release then eliminated scenes of Francis de Wolff talking to John Arnatt about seeking Bond for the assignment, and of Vine in bed with a girl and a crossword puzzle giving double entendre clues. The American release also eliminates much of the dialogue about the anti-gravity device, called "Regrav", which makes the denouement of the film less comprehensible.

The American publicity for the film echoed the "Number 2, but tries harder" advertising of the Avis Rent a Car System prevalent at the time. Levine launched a November 1965 nationwide 100 word essay contest to be titled "the most unforgettable second-best secret agent I have known".

Reception
Alan Burton in Historical Dictionary of British Spy Fiction wrote positively of the film, describing it as "a cut-price James Bond picture with plenty of thrills and some wit", and wrote of Tom Adams as Charles Vine as doing "a passable imitation of Sean Connery".

Sequels
What Eon Productions's reaction was to the blatant imitation is not known, but Shonteff was missing from the two Vine sequels starring Tom Adams:

 Where the Bullets Fly (1966) (directed by Warwick Films and Hammer Films director John Gilling) that was also released by Embassy Films.
 Somebody's Stolen Our Russian Spy/O.K. Yevtushenko (1967) a film shot in Spain instead of the usual UK location, that languished in a film laboratory until 1976.

Shonteff later made three spy films with the hero named "Charles Bind". In the first, his boss is also named Rockwell:
