Eimear Quinn represented Ireland in the 1996 Eurovision Song Contest with the song "The Voice".

Before Eurovision

National Final

Réalta '96
'Réalta' was a radio song contest started in 1995 by RTÉ Raidió na Gaeltacht exclusively for Irish songs. The first edition of the contest was not related to Eurosong, but from 1996 until 1999, the recent winner of Réalta would qualify to Eurosong. The 2nd edition of Réalta took place in December 1995 and the results were decided by a panel of 3 judges. The running order and results of Réalta '96 are unknown.

Eurosong
The final took place on 3 March 1996 at the Point Theatre in Dublin, hosted by Pat Kenny. Eight entries competed in the final and the winner, "The Voice" performed by Eimear Quinn, was determined by the votes of ten regional juries.

At Eurovision
As part of the EBU's scheme to limit the growing number of countries wishing to participate, audio recordings of the entries were sent to juries in each participating country some weeks before the contest. The juries listened to the songs, and awarded points to their ten favorites. Of the 29 countries wishing to participate (host country Norway was exempt from the process), only the 22 highest-scorers were allowed to perform in the contest. In this qualifying round, "The Voice" came in 2nd place with 187 points, and confirmed an Irish presence in Oslo that year.

Quinn performed 17th in the running order on the night of the contest. "The Voice" went on to win with 162 points, giving Ireland its seventh overall victory, and its fourth in five years.

In the 2000s in Bahrain the government instituted political reforms and relaxed economic controls.

Accession of Hamad ibn Isa Al Khalifa
In 1999 Shaikh Hamad ibn Isa Al Khalifa became Emir after the death of his father, Shaikh Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa, and carried out wide-ranging social and political reforms, described by Amnesty International as representing a "historic period for human rights". King Hamad ended the political repression that had defined the 1990s by scrapping security laws, releasing all political prisoners, instituting elections, giving women the vote and promising a return to constitutional rule. The move brought an end to political violence that was part of the 1990s uprising in Bahrain, but did not initially bring about a reconciliation between the government and most of the opposition groups.

The invitation to Bahrain's former exiles to return home revitalised the Kingdom's politics. Exiled leaders included a number of London-based Islamists including Dr Majid Al Alawi who became Minister of Labour, Dr Mansur Al Jamri who became editor of the new opposition daily, Al Wasat, and Sheikh Ali Salman who became head of the newly established Shia Islamist Al Wefaq, Bahrain's largest political group. Former Leftist dissidents formed the National Democratic Action, the Communist Democratic Bloc, and the Bahrain Human Rights Society. Leftists were also involved in the new trade union movement, although they faced competition from Islamists for control of several unions.

Following the political liberalization Bahrain negotiated a Free Trade Agreement with the United States in 2004. The country participated in military action against the Taliban in 2001 with its ships patrolling the Arabian Sea searching for vessels, but opposed the invasion of Iraq. Relations improved with neighbouring Qatar after the border dispute over the Hawar Islands was resolved by the International Court of Justice in The Hague in 2001. The two countries sought to build the Qatar-Bahrain Friendship Bridge to link the countries across the Persian Gulf, which would have had been the longest fixed link bridge in the world when completed, however with the 2017–19 Qatar diplomatic crisis imposed by Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Egypt, the plan was dismissed.

2001: National Action Charter
In 2001 Hamad put forward the National Action Charter which would return the country to constitutional rule. However the opposition was opposed to the Charter's call for an amendment to the 1973 Constitution, changing the legislature from unicameral to bicameral. The Charter stated that "the legislature will consist of two chambers, namely one that is constituted through free, direct elections whose mandate will be to enact laws, and a second one that would have people with experience and expertise who would give advice as necessary." The opposition groups deemed this statement to be too ambiguous, and remained opposed to the Charter.

Hamad responded by holding a highly publicized meeting with the spiritual leaders of the Shia Islamist opposition. He signed a document clarifying that only the elected lower house of the parliament would have legislative power, while the appointed upper house would have a strictly advisory role. Upon this assurance, the main opposition groups accepted the Charter and called for a 'Yes' vote in the national referendum. The Charter was accepted in the 2001 referendum with 98.4% voting 'Yes' for it.

2002: new constitution
However, in 2002 Hamad promulgated the 2002 Constitution in which both the elected and the royally-appointed chambers of parliament were given equal legislative powers, going back on his public promise of 2001. As a result, the parliamentary elections due to be held later that year were boycotted by a group of four political societies; Al Wefaq, a Shia Islamist group, thought to be the most popular political society in the country, National Democratic Action, the largest Leftist political society, Islamic Action Society, a marginal Shia Islamist society, and the Nationalist Democratic Rally Society, a marginal Arab Nationalist society.

Between 2002 and 2006, the four boycotting societies continued their demand for discussions on constitutional reforms. By 2006 these four party opposition indicated that it would participate in the parliamentary elections, but retain their demand for constitutional reform at the top of their agenda.

Bahraini uprising

The protests in Bahrain started on 14 February, and were initially aimed at achieving greater political freedom and respect for human rights; they were not intended to directly threaten the monarchy. Lingering frustration among the Shiite majority with being ruled by the Sunni government was a major root cause, but the protests in Tunisia and Egypt are cited as the inspiration for the demonstrations. The protests were largely peaceful until a pre-dawn raid by police on 17 February to clear protestors from Pearl Roundabout in Manama, in which police killed four protesters. Following the raid, some protesters began to expand their aims to a call for the end of the monarchy. On 18 February army forces opened fire on protesters when they tried to reenter the roundabout, fatally wounding one. The following day protesters reoccupied Pearl Roundabout after the government ordered troops and police to withdraw. Subsequent days saw large demonstrations; on 21 February a pro-government Gathering of National Unity drew tens of thousands, whilst on 22 February the number of protestors at the Pearl Roundabout peaked at over 150,000 after more than 100,000 protesters marched there. On 14 March, Saudi-led GCC forces were requested by the government and entered the country, which the opposition called an "occupation".

King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa declared a three-month state of emergency on 15 March and asked the military to reassert its control as clashes spread across the country. On 16 March, armed soldiers and riot police cleared the protesters' camp in the Pearl Roundabout, in which 3 policemen and 3 protesters were reportedly killed. Later, on 18 March, the government tore down Pearl Roundabout monument. After the lifting of emergency law on 1 June, several large rallies were staged by the opposition parties. Smaller-scale protests and clashes outside of the capital have continued to occur almost daily. On 9 March 2012 over 100,000 protested in what the opposition called "the biggest march in our history".

The police response has been described as a "brutal" crackdown on peaceful and unarmed protestors, including doctors and bloggers. The police carried out midnight house raids in Shia neighbourhoods, beatings at checkpoints, and denial of medical care in a "campaign of intimidation". More than 2,929 people have been arrested, and at least five people died due to torture while in police custody. On 23 November 2011 the Bahrain Independent Commission of Inquiry released its report on its investigation of the events, finding that the government had systematically tortured prisoners and committed other human rights violations. It also rejected the government's claims that the protests were instigated by Iran. Although the report found that systematic torture had stopped, the Bahraini government has refused entry to several international human rights groups and news organizations, and delayed a visit by a UN inspector. More than 80 people had died since the start of the uprising.

Paul Mitchael Frerotte (March 30, 1965 – June 11, 2008) was an American professional football player who played as a guard for four seasons in the National Football League, all with the Buffalo Bills.

Biography
Frerotte is perhaps best known for scoring three touchdowns during the 1992 NFL season, a record for an offensive lineman.

Frerotte played in three Super Bowls: XXV, XXVI, and XXVII. He attended Kittanning High School and Penn State University.

Personal life
Known as "Pit Bull" by his Bills teammates, Frerotte often wore an elaborate mask of eye black during games. He was a well-known Harley-Davidson enthusiast, who once threatened ESPN's Joe Theismann with bodily harm after he mounted Frerotte's motorcycle without permission.

Frerotte is the cousin of NFL quarterback Gus Frerotte. Mitch died from a massive heart attack at his mother's home on June 11, 2008.  The coroner's report attributed his death to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a genetic heart condition which the American Heart Association calls the most common cause of sudden death in young athletes.

Autoimmune heart diseases are the effects of the body's own immune defense system mistaking cardiac antigens as foreign and attacking them leading to inflammation of the heart as a whole, or in parts. The commonest form of autoimmune heart disease is rheumatic heart disease or rheumatic fever.

Cause
Aetiologically, these are most commonly seen in children with a history of sore throat caused by a streptococcal infection. This is similar to the post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis. Here, the anti-bacterial antibodies cross react with the heart antigens causing inflammation.

Inflammatory damage leads to the following:
 Pericarditis: Here the pericardium gets inflamed. Acutely, it can cause pericardial effusion leading to cardiac tamponade and death. After healing, there may be fibrosis and adhesion of the pericardium with the heart leading to constriction of the heart and reduced cardiac function.
 Myocarditis: Here the muscle bulk of the heart gets inflamed. Inflamed muscles have reduced functional capacity. This may be fatal, if left untreated as is in a case of pancarditis. On healing, there will be fibrosis and reduced functional capacity.
 Endocarditis: Here the inner lining of the heart is inflamed, including the heart valves. This may cause a valve prolapse, adhesion of the adjacent cusps of these valves and occlusion of the flow tracts of blood through the heart causing diseases called valve stenosis.

Mechanism
These are the typical mechanisms of autoimmunity. Autoantibodies or auto-toxic T-lymphocyte mediated tissue destruction. The process is aided by neutrophils, the complement system, tumor necrosis factor alpha, etc.

Diagnosis

Types
These depend on the amount of inflammation. These are covered in their relevant articles.
 Acute: Heart failure; pericardial effusion; etc.
 Chronic: Valve diseases as noted above; Reduced cardiac output; Exercise intolerance.

Treatment
Intensive cardiac care and immunosuppressives including corticosteroids are helpful in the acute stage of the disease. Colchicine can also be used to help prevent recurrences in Pericarditis. Chronic phase has, mainly debility control and supportive care options.

The Year of the Dragon is a play written by Chinese American playwright Frank Chin. It is one of the first plays by an Asian American playwright to be produced on a mainstream New York stage. It premiered in 1974 at the American Place Theatre, and starred Randall Duk Kim, who had played the lead in Chin's earlier play, The Chickencoop Chinaman. The rest of the cast included Pat Suzuki, Tina Chen, Conrad Yama, Lilah Kan, Doug Higgins, and Keenan Shimizu.

The play portrays a Chinese American family in Chinatown, San Francisco during Chinese New Year. Chin wrote the play as a critique of the racism in American society, and the play satirizes "American tourists who eroticize, objectify, and commodify Chinatown and its residents."

A television production of the play was filmed by PBS for Great Performances in 1975 with George Takei replacing Kim as Fred, after Kim declined the television adaptation for artistic reasons, feeling that there would not be an adequate amount of rehearsal time for the adaptation to work. The rest of the original cast appeared in the PBS production.

In addition to subsequent productions, the play was revived in 2001 by East West Players in 2001, under the direction of Japanese American actor Mako Iwamatsu, who had directed the first EWP production in 1974.

Story
The play tells the story of Fred Eng, a 40-something tour guide who lives at home in San Francisco's Chinatown with his parents and younger brother, Johnny. Fred is frustrated because ten years earlier he had given up his dreams of being a writer to help his cancer-stricken father run the tour guide business. Yet, not only is his father still alive, he also has no respect for Fred's desire to be a writer and mocks Fred for dropping out of college, even though Fred did so to help him. Fred also hates working as a tour guide, as he must act out the white tourists' fantasy of what Chinese people are like, unable to make them understand that Chinatown is not China and that its residents are Americans too. Fred is also frustrated that his brother Johnny, in addition to running with a bad crowd, is not interested in leaving Chinatown for a better life, but wants to become part of the family business.

The conflict of the play centers around a Chinese New Year celebration when Fred's sister, Sissy, comes to visit with her sinophile white husband, Ross. Sissy has been on tour promoting a Chinese cookbook that she and Fred have written; the indignity of being reduced to writing food porn as his only marketable outlet for writing further upsets Fred. On the same day that Sissy and Ross arrive, Pa's first wife (and Fred's biological mother) arrives from China, thanks to the new immigration laws that allowed Chinese women to immigrate to the US to join their husbands. The arrival of "China Mama" creates conflict between Pa and his current wife, Hyacinth, who feels betrayed by his decision to bring his first wife over after he had promised not to and by the fact that she herself had risked losing her citizenship by marrying Pa. It also becomes clear that Pa wants to split the family in two as he nears the end of his life, favoring his "Chinese" family over his "American" one.

Setting and themes
Chin's play is set partly in a realistic apartment setting and partly in a theatrical setting in which Fred speaks to the audience as though they are his tour group. By dividing the play in this way, Chin forces the audience (who at the time were mostly white) to consider their own versions of Chinese Americans and of Chinatown life against a more realistic depiction in which sons and wives are not passively obedient to their fathers, American-born Chinese do not desire to move to China, and white interest in Chinese culture is not always a positive thing. Chin also touches on the artistic problems for Chinese Americans, noting that Fred's only options as a writer are autobiography and cookbooks, and that Pa has internalized the Chinese stereotypes he has seen in the movies, so far as to imitate Charlie Chan and refer to Fred as "number one son." Through these thematic and dramaturgic devices, Chin confronts the audience with the myth of the "model minority" and presents a more disturbing picture of Chinese American life, one that is probably no different from the average American life, but that does not accord with American stereotypes.

Publication history
The play has been published together with his earlier play, The Chickencoop Chinaman.

His Dark Materials is a play written by British playwright Nicholas Wright, adapted from the Philip Pullman fantasy novel trilogy of the same title. The production premiered in the Royal National Theatre's Olivier Theatre, London, in 2003. Due to the complications in staging a piece containing the narrative of three books, the play was performed in two parts in alternate performances. The play is published by Nick Hern Books.

Synopsis
The play follows the same plot as the books – a story of the coming of age of two children, Will Parry and Lyra Belacqua, and their adventures as they wander through a series of parallel universes against a backdrop of epic events. During their quest, the pair encounter various fantasy creatures such as witches and armoured polar bears in a journey which they hope will take them to The Republic of Heaven.

There are however some substantial differences, most notably the removal of the character Dr. Mary Malone, whose role in the story is turned over to the witch Serafina Pekala. Similarly the eponymous amber spyglass of the third novel, associated with Malone, is also largely absent.

Sir Thomas Crewe (or Crew) (1565 – 31 January 1634), of Stene, between Farthinghoe and Brackley in Northamptonshire, was an English Member of Parliament and lawyer, and served as Speaker of the House of Commons from 1623 to 1625.

He was a son of John Crewe and Alicia, a daughter Humphrey Manwaring of Nantwich.

Crewe was a member of Gray's Inn, and a serjeant-at-law. He went to Woodstock Palace in September 1603, where the royal family had gone to avoid plague in London, and sent a letter of news and business to Mary Talbot, Countess of Shrewsbury. The business concerned the marriage of her daughter Mary to the Earl of Pembroke.

He entered Parliament in 1604 as Member for Lichfield, and was later MP for Northampton (1621–2), Aylesbury (1623–1625) and Gatton (1625). In 1621 he drew attention to himself by defying the King, declaring the liberties of Parliament to be "matters of inheritance". In 1623 he was knighted, and in the Parliament summoned that year (which first assembled in February 1624) he was elected Speaker; he served in that capacity in the two Parliaments known to history as the Happy Parliament and the Useless Parliament. In 1633, he was appointed a member of the ecclesiastical commission. He died the following year.

Sir Thomas Crew married Temperance Bray, daughter of Reginald Bray and Hon. Anne Vaux, daughter of Thomas Vaux, 2nd Baron Vaux. Some of their children include:
 John, followed him into Parliament, and was raised to the peerage as Baron Crew in 1661 for his role in bringing about the Restoration.

 Patience, married to Sir John Curzon, 1st Baronet and had issue.

He lived at Stene, Northamptonshire, and died on 31 January 1633.

Newport RUFC is an English rugby team based at the Old Showground, just outside the town of Newport, Shropshire. They currently play in the National League 2 West, a fourth tier league in the English rugby union system.

History
Rugby was first played in Newport in 1871 when the new Headmaster of Adams' Grammar School, Tom Collins, introduced the game to the boys. In the same year a game was played between the school and a Town team on the Chetwynd End ground. In 1876 a Town team played Stafford and lost. It seems that, after 1882 when, again, there was a local newspaper report of a match between Newport and Stafford at both Town and School levels, there is no further record of rugby being played in the Newport District, apart from at school level, until 1932, when a club was formed at Shifnal. Many of the players were from Newport, being the School Masters and boys from Adams' Grammar. One of those stars of the early days was Ron Anderson, a master at Adams', who later played for and served Newport RUFC for many years, including 18 years as President. As with a large number of Clubs, the Second World War curtailed activities. However, at the cessation of hostilities the Club was never reformed.

When the war ended, an ex-soldier, Roy "Squash" Lemon, settled in Newport. He had previously played for Torquay and during the war for the Combined Services (Far East) in a match against the "All Blacks". He was a Second Row who was missing his rugby. Having decided to resolve this matter, he placed a notice in a local newspaper, calling on "All like-minded persons and any other interested parties" to attend a meeting. That meeting, in 1947, agreed to start Newport (Salop) Rugby Union Football Club and since that time the Club has grown in stature.

The first match was against the Royal Navy Air Force based at Hinstock, which resulted in a 6 all draw. Among the local teams played in that first season were Shrewsbury and Old Whitchurchians. The home games were played at Adams' Grammar School and the teams changed at the Vine Vaults Public House. The Club colours were adopted as maroon and white hoops and are still the colours today.

In 1948 a second XV was fielded for the first time and in 1949 the club rented a ground at Chetwynd End and played there, on two pitches, until 1981. By 1955 a third XV was added and in 1957 a fourth team. In 1956 the club converted a warehouse in Water Lane into a clubhouse. two changing rooms, with separate showers rooms downstairs and a club room with bar upstairs. The renovation cost £400. This work provided the club with its unique atmosphere for the next 25 years. In 1962 a colts XV was formed and coached by Reg Eales, a sports master at the then Newport Modern School, now the Burton Borough School. The side contained a large number of boys from that school. This squad grew in strength over the years with large numbers of those boys progressing into the first XV. Over the years colts from Newport have represented the club at Shropshire and the North Midlands levels with some going on to play for the Midlands and in England Trials. Throughout the "Sixties" the fixture list of the club was strengthened and included such clubs as Dudley Kingswinford, Bromsgrove, Sutton Coldfield, Lichfield and Kidderminster. All of these clubs were considered to be of a high standard at that time.

In 1950 and after protracted arguments with the RFU Newport were allowed to start the Newport (Salop) RUFC Challenge Cup, which is now commonly called the "Shropshire Cup". This cup is still being played for today and outside Internationals it is thought to be one of the oldest rugby cup competition in existence. In 1981 Newport moved to the Showground site off of Forton Road, just a field away from the old pitches at Chetwynd End. A new club house was built and four pitches were laid out. The first XV pitch took the central position in the then Showground main ring. The club was officially opened with a match against a strong star-studded team Presidents XV which included eight internationals and one Barbarian. The Presidents XV won 50 points to 36 points.

With the advent of leagues in 1987, Newport was placed in North Midlands 1. Between 1992–3 and 1994–5 saw promotion from that league, through Midlands West 2 and Midlands West 1 to Midlands 2 West (level 6). It is pleasing to know that a large number of the first XV started rugby with the junior section of the club. Junior rugby is now a strong feature every Sunday morning with teams from under-8's to under-17's turning out for training or matches on regular basis. Various sides have competed in fixtures against such side as Moseley, Worcester, Orrell, Northampton and Bath. Acknowledgement: - The bulk of this information is taken from "The Story of Newport (Salop) RUFC and Rugby in the District from 1871" author Gavin Goulson, Club member, player and former President.

The "Shropshire Cup" The Newport (Salop) RUFC Challenge Cup, now known as the "Shropshire Cup" was originally donated by Arthur Hughes and Reg Walker, relations of Roy "Squash" Lemon, who was acknowledged as the instigator of Newport (Salop) RUFC. The cup was to be competed for by any Shropshire clubs in a knockout format. In the 1949–50 season, when the competition first started, the RFU frowned upon such competitions. However, after a long period of time and many letters passing between the RFU and the club permission was finally granted with the first competition taking place at the end of the 1949–50 season. It can be said that the "Shropshire Cup" is the oldest "Inter-Clubs" Trophy competition in existence. RAF Tern Hill were the first winners of the cup.

The 6th Training Regiment, Oswestry, the forefathers of Oswestry won the 1952 final. In those early days teams from the armed forces, such as RAF Tern Hill and RAF Stoke Heath, dominated. However, the farmers from Harper Adams along with the clubs from Shrewsbury, Old Whitchurchians and Newport made certain that the military did not have it all their own way. Newport first took hold of the cup in a drawn match against Shrewsbury in 1954. Not being content with that the following year they also drew, this time with RAF Stoke Heath. However, in 1957 they first won the cup outright.

The original rules stated that if a team won the competition on three successive years the cup would remain their property. Bridgnorth were the first to win the cup on three successive years, 1972, 73 and 74. Due to the popularity of the competition Bridgnorth generously returned the cup in order that the competition could continue. It was also decided that only clubs winning the cup on three successive years will be engraved onto it, this was due to the lack of space. Since that time only Whitchurch 1981, 82 and 83 as well as 1985, 86 and 87 and Newport 1993, 94 and 95 have appeared on the cup. After Newport won the cup in 1995 it was then decided that the cup would always remain the property of Newport but would be played for on an annual basis with the winning club retaining possession of the cup for one year only. Newport is now the clear leaders with a record numbers of wins, closely followed by Whitchurch, Shrewsbury and Bridgnorth. Newport hold the most number of consecutive wins with five, 1993 to 1997

Fingal County Council () is the local authority of the county of Fingal, Ireland. It is one of three local authorities that succeeded the former Dublin County Council on abolition on 1 January 1994 and is one of four local authorities in County Dublin. As a county council, it is governed by the Local Government Act 2001. The council is responsible for housing and community, roads and transport, urban planning and development, amenity and culture, and environment. The council has 40 elected members. Elections are held every five years and are by single transferable vote. The head of the council has the title of Mayor. The county administration is headed by a Chief Executive, AnnMarie Farrelly. The county town is Swords.

History
The Council of the electoral County of Dublin—Fingal was established in 1985 with 24 members. Its members also sat as members of Dublin County Council. At the 1991 local election, the electoral county was renamed Fingal.

On 1 January 1994, under the Local Government (Dublin) Act 1993, County Dublin ceased to exist with the new county Fingal where the electoral county had been. Dublin County Council also ceased to exist and Fingal County Council came into being.

The county council initially met at the former offices of the abolished Dublin County Council, an office block at 46–49 O'Connell Street, Dublin. A new building, known as County Hall, located on Main Street in Swords, was purpose-built for the county council and completed in 2000.

The Local Government Act 2001 reformed the two-tier structure of local government. It confirmed the size of the council as 24 members.

The town council of Balbriggan was dissolved under the Local Government Reform Act 2014. Fingal County Council became the successor body of the town council. Under the same legislation, the size of the council was increased to 40 members as part of a nationwide reallocation of local authority membership numbers.

Administrative area
The county of Fingal covers an area of 456 km2 and has 88 km of coastline stretching from Sutton in the south to Balbriggan in the north. It is drained by the Delvin River along its northern boundary, the Ballyboghil River and the Broadmeadow River and its major tributary, the Ward in the centre, and the Tolka and Santry rivers to the south. The River Liffey forms its southern border with South Dublin. There are three large protected estuaries and salt marsh habitats, with thirteen major beaches. Howth Head and the Liffey Valley are covered by Special Area Amenity Orders.

Regional Assembly
Fingal County Council has three representatives on the Eastern and Midland Regional Assembly who are part of the Dublin Strategic Planning Area Committee.

Local electoral areas
Fingal County Council has 40 seats, divided into the following seven local electoral areas. These are defined by electoral divisions which were defined in 1986, with minor amendments in 1994.

Australia, unlike Europe, does not have a long history in the genre of science fiction. Nevil Shute's On the Beach, published in 1957, and filmed in 1959, was perhaps the first notable international success. Though not born in Australia, Shute spent his latter years there, and the book was set in Australia. It might have been worse had the imports of American pulp magazines not been restricted during World War II, forcing local writers into the field. Various compilation magazines began appearing in the 1960s and the field has continued to expand into some significance. Today Australia has a thriving SF/Fantasy genre with names recognised around the world. In 2013 a trilogy by Sydney-born Ben Peek was sold at auction to a UK publisher for a six-figure deal .

History
Early (pre-Second World War) Australian science fiction was often what today one could consider racist and xenophobic, fueled by contemporary worries about invasion and foreigners (see White Australia policy). But by the 1950s, just as the genre in the United States and pretty much anywhere else, it became influenced by the issues of technological progress and globalization. 1952 marked the year of the first regular Australian science fiction conventions.

WWII embargo on US pulp imports
The origins of Australia's local science fiction industry sprang from a wartime embargo on the import of various non-essential goods from outside Australia, particularly from America. The Pulp Fiction Exhibition at the University of Otago noted: "In 1939, the Australian government placed an embargo on American pulp magazines. This decision was prompted by the moral majority, who claimed comics and other 'objectionable' material were undermining societal mores, and an importation crisis due to World War II."

In World War II, Darwin had received a heavier air raid than Pearl Harbor. Broome, Katherine and Cairns had also been bombed. Japanese submarines were attacking Sydney, and Spitfires and Zeroes were fighting it out above Australia's northern coasts and towns. The only American science fiction that arrived in Australia were in British editions. The only authentic American SF magazines to reach Australia in this period arrived as ballast in ships. Imported science fiction was an unthinkable luxury in Australia under these circumstances, yet thanks to government inertia the embargo was not lifted until thirteen years after the war ended, in 1958. The unrestricted return of non-Australian science fiction marked an end to one period of growth in Australian homegrown science fiction writing and publication.

Australia's first science fiction magazine was Thrills, Incorporated (1950–52), published by Transport Publishing Co, and imprint of Horwitz Publishing House. Many reprints from Thrills, Incorporated were later used in British science fiction magazine Amazing Science Stories.

Growth in Australian Science Fiction 1960s onward
Australian science fiction grew tremendously in the 1960s and became a notable field around the 1980s. Most Australian science-fiction writers today are writing for the international market.

1960s
Australian science-fiction became a notable field of world science-fiction literature around the 1960s. In 1966, the monthly Australian Science-Fiction Review was first published; in 1969 it was joined by SF Commentary. That year also the Ditmar Awards were established, awarded in multiple categories.

The first Australian World Science Fiction Convention Aussiecon was held in 1975 in Melbourne; that year also Paul Collins began publishing the science fiction magazine Void. Collins went on to publish numerous science fiction titles under his Void book and Collins imprint, including books by such writers as David Lake, Russell Blackford, Trevor Donahue, Wynne Whiteford, and Keith Taylor. John Baxter edited a number of early collections of Australian science fiction for Angus and Robertson publishers.

As an adjunct of the science fiction field in Australia, there were various publications which may be regarded as horror or dark fantasy. The main producer of such material in the 1960s was Horwitz Publishing House.

1970s
In the 1970s Van Ikin established the important critical journal Science Fiction co-edited by Terry Dowling. Ikin has edited a number of seminal anthologies including Glass Reptile Breakout, Australian Science Fiction and Mortal Fire (the latter with Terry Dowling). Damien Broderick also edited numerous anthologies in additionto his work as a writer. Jenny and Russell Blackford edited the long-running critical magazine Australian SF Review. Two book-length selections of essays from this journal have been published.<ref>Damien Broderick et al (eds) Skiffy and Mimesis: More Best of ASFR: Australian SF Review (Second Series). Borgo Press, 2010; Chained to the Alien: The Best of Australian Science Fiction Review (Second Series), Borgo Press, 2009</ref>

1980s
The number of authors and publications grew, particularly with the field of short fiction becoming established by the mid-1980s, with the first professional Australian science fiction magazine being published that decade (Omega Science Digest); in the 1990s it was joined by Aurealis: The Australian Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction and Eidolon: The Journal of Australian Science Fiction & Fantasy. Jonathan Strahan, co-editor of the latter, has gone on to become Australia's most prolific science fiction editor.

David G. Hartwell noted that while there is perhaps "nothing essentially Australian about Australian science-fiction", many Australian science-fiction (and fantasy and horror) writers are in fact international English language writers, and their work is commonly published worldwide. This is further explainable by the fact that the Australian inner market is small (with Australian population being only 24 million), and sales abroad are crucial to most Australian writers.David G. Hartwell, Damien Broderick (ed.), Centaurus: The Best of Australian Science Fiction, David. G. Hartwell, The other editor's introduction, pp. 22-25 Tor Books, 1999m

A. Bertram Chandler, while not born in Australia but having emigrated there as an adult, did all his science fiction writing while living in Australia. The future history leading up to the time of his main space-faring character John Grimes is a history in which Australia became a major world power on Earth and a leading center of space exploration and colonization. Several of Grimes' galactic adventures take place on planets settled by Australians whose inhabitants still have recognizable Australian cultural traits.

In the 1980s Australian horror came to the fore as a subgenre within the speculative fiction, with the publication of The Australian Horror and Fantasy Magazine and its successor Terror Australis.

Critical contributions
Donald H. Tuck, an amateur scholar from Tasmania, wrote the first major encyclopedia of science fiction, The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction and Fantasy, in three parts (1974, 1978, 1983), receiving the 1984 Hugo Award for his contribution. Another Australian, Peter Nicholls, was awarded a Hugo in 1980 and shared one with John Clute in 1994 (for a revised version) of a similar critical review of the world's sf, The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction.

Apart from Peek's novels – Immolation, Innocence and Incarnation, Tor also bought two novels by Rjurik Davidson in 2013. The Guardian reports that:

"Peek and Davidson join a host of names who readers of speculative fiction all over the English-reading world will
recognise: Garth Nix, Trudi Canavan, Margo Lanagan, Sara Douglass, Damien Broderick, Cecila Dart-Thornton, Greg Egan, Alison Goodman, Sean McMullen, Glenda Larke, Sean Williams and Justine Larbalestier."

was a Japanese daimyō of the Edo period who served the Tokugawa clan. He was also known as Ii Naotsugu. His childhood name was Manchiyo (万千代). Naokatsu succeeded to family headship following his father's death in 1602. Under Tokugawa Ieyasu's orders, Naokatsu completed construction of Hikone Castle in 1606, and then moved there from Sawayama Castle when it was largely completed.

In 1614, as Naokatsu was ill, he sent his brother Naotaka to fight in the Siege of Osaka; Naokatsu himself was assigned to Annaka, where he undertook security duty in the Kantō region. After the siege of Osaka, Tokugawa Ieyasu rewarded Naokatsu's younger brother Naotaka with the Ii family headship, and allowed Naokatsu to form a branch family with holdings at the fief of Annaka in Kōzuke Province, worth 30,000 koku. Naokatsu retired in 1632, yielding headship to his son Naoyoshi. He died in Ōmi Province in 1662.

His descendants were moved around several times before having their holdings settle at Itoigawa, in Echigo Province.

In statistics, count data is a statistical data type describing countable quantities, data which can take only the counting numbers, non-negative integer values {0, 1, 2, 3, ...}, and where these integers arise from counting rather than ranking.  The statistical treatment of count data is distinct from that of binary data, in which the observations can take only two values, usually represented by 0 and 1, and from ordinal data, which may also consist of integers but where the individual values fall on an arbitrary scale and only the relative ranking is important.

Count variables
An individual piece of count data is often termed a count variable.  When such a variable is treated as a random variable, the Poisson, binomial and negative binomial distributions are commonly used to represent its distribution.

Graphical examination
Graphical examination of count data may be aided by the use of data transformations chosen to have the property of stabilising the sample variance. In particular, the square root transformation might be used when data can be approximated by a Poisson distribution (although other transformation have modestly improved properties), while an inverse sine transformation is available when a binomial distribution is preferred.

Relating count data to other variables
Here the count variable would be treated as a dependent variable. Statistical methods such as least squares and analysis of variance are designed to deal with continuous dependent variables. These can be adapted to deal with count data by using data transformations such as the square root transformation, but such methods have several drawbacks; they are approximate at best and estimate parameters that are often hard to interpret.

The Poisson distribution can form the basis for some analyses of count data and in this case Poisson regression may be used. This is a special case of the class of generalized linear models which also contains specific forms of model capable of using the binomial distribution (binomial regression, logistic regression) or the negative binomial distribution where the assumptions of the Poisson model are violated, in particular when the range of count values is limited or when overdispersion is present.

Orlando Borrego (born 1936, Holguín, Cuba) is a Cuban economist, writer and former guerrilla who worked with Che Guevara during the Cuban Revolution.

Biography
Orlando Borrego was born in 1936 into a peasant family who later identified with the Partido Ortodoxo of Eduardo Chibas. His father was a taxi driver and his mother a teacher. In 1952, Fulgencio Batista led a coup against Cuba's democratic government, weeks before an election which the Partido Ortodoxo were touted to win. While he was still at secondary school, Borrego became one of the earliest supporters of the organisation which was to become the 26th of July Movement, before Fidel Castro led the attack on the Moncada Barracks which was to give the organisation its name.

In October 1958, Borrego joined a column of the 26th of July Movement's rebel army in the Escambray Mountains, which was under the command of Che Guevara. By the revolution's triumph in January 1959, Borrego had achieved the rank of First Lieutenant.

Immediately after the revolutionary army's entrance in Havana Borrego worked alongside Guevara at La Cabaña fortress. He was appointed Head of the Military Economic Board and served as a prosecutor at the trials of several members of the Batista regime. In October 1959, Che was named head of the Department of Industrialisation, which was set up within the National Institute of Agrarian Reform (INRA). INRA had been set up to institute the Agrarian Reform Law of May 1959. Che decided to bring Borrego to INRA as his deputy, Aleida March as his personal assistant and José Manresa as his secretary. However, the following month, Che became President of the National Bank, and Borrego was left to run the Department of Industrialisation. The two continued to meet regularly to discuss all progress and measures taken. In February 1961 Che was appointed head of the newly expanded Ministry of Industries (MININD), with Orlando Borrego as his Vice-Minister. Borrego played an important role in the development of the Budgetary Finance System.

In 1964, the massive Consolidated Enterprise of Sugar was split off from MININD to form a separate Ministry of Sugar. Borrego was appointed head of the new Ministry. Borrego continued to be an adherent of the Budgetary Finance System, and worked closely with Che to improve it. When Che left for the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1965, he left Borrego with his personal copy of Das Kapital. Borrego met with Che for the last time in 1966, during secret preparations for Che's ill-fated expedition in Bolivia. Borrego left as Minister of Sugar in 1968. Although equipped with little evidence, Cuban-American writer Servando Gonzalez, a well-known critic of Cuba, has claimed that Borrego was fired by Fidel Castro in a fit of rage for expressing his doubts over the possibility that the 1970 sugar quota would be attained. Both Castro and Borrego have dismissed Gonzalez's assertion as complete myth. Borrego finally achieved his doctorate in economics from the University of Havana in 1973.

From 1973 until 1980, Borrego served as an advisor to the Council of Ministers of Cuba, while at the same time achieving another doctorate from the Central Economic Mathematical Institute in the Soviet Union. In 1997, alongside Che's son Ernesto, Borrego visited Lebanon, where he met with President Elias Hrawi, toured areas near the border with Israel and expressed support for the Lebanese people's struggle against Israeli occupation.

Currently Borrego serves as an advisor to the Cuban Ministry of Transport. He has visited Venezuela on several occasions, where his book "Che – El Camino del Fuego" was praised by Hugo Chavez as helping him to discover Che as a thinker and an economist. He also visited Great Britain in 2008 on a tour organised by Rock Around the Blockade where he spoke alongside philosopher Jesús Garcia and student leader Yoselin Rufin.

In July 2014, Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro appointed Borrego as an advisor.

Frederick Coulton Waugh (; 10 March 1896 – 23 May 1973) was a cartoonist, painter, teacher and author, best known for his illustration work on the comic strip Dickie Dare and his book The Comics (1947), the first major study of the field.

His father was the marine artist Frederick Judd Waugh, and his grandfather was the Philadelphia portrait painter Samuel Waugh. Born in Cornwall, England, in 1896, in 1907 his family moved to the United States, and Waugh was enrolled at New York's Art Students League where he studied with George Bridgman, Frank Dumond and John Carlson.

By 1916 Coulton was employed as a textile designer. Two years later, he married Elizabeth Jenkinson. In 1921 the couple moved to Provincetown, Massachusetts, where they operated a model ship and hooked rug shop for 11 years. His paintings were displayed at New York's Hudson Walker Gallery, and he also was known for his pictorial maps and hand-colored lithographs.

Maps

In Provincetown he created decorative maps, including ones of Provincetown (1924), Cape Cod (1926) and Newburgh, New York (1958). His map of California (1948) was a collaboration with his wife Odin Burvik (Mabel Burwick). One of his Cape Cod maps was detailed by Laura Guadnazno in the Provincetown Banner:
Coulton Waugh lived near his father in the house known as the "oldest house" at 72 Commercial St., where he ran a ship model shop. Coulton was a professional sailor and made scale drawings of historic ships, designed fabrics, and made decorative maps and charts... Waugh was considered to have revived, if not originated the art of decorative map making when he exhibited a large map of silk in 1918 at the International Silk Show in New York City. His map of Cape Cod is one of the most decorative ever prepared. The central cartouche shows the Mayflower and two Pilgrims in armour. The border was reproduced from a drawing cut with a knife in the wood-block technique. The top and bottom borders are of a stylised Cape Cod landscape and the sides borders are decorated with the images of six famous ships.

Comic strips

Created by Milton Caniff, Dickie Dare began 31 July 1933. Imaginative 12-year-old Dickie, who dreamed himself into adventures with characters from history, was joined in 1934 with writer Dan Flynn, a friend of Dickie's father, and the two had many seagoing adventures. When Caniff left in 1934 to do Terry and the Pirates, Waugh began drawing Dickie Dare in the middle of a story. In 1944, when Waugh left the strip to work on Hank (1945), his wife and assistant, Odin Burvik, took over Dickie Dare in 1944-47, followed by Fran Matera (1948–49). But Waugh eventually returned to the strip in 1950-58 with the 12-year-old Dickie growing up to become a Navy Cadet.

Between his stints on Dickie Dare, Waugh created his own short-lived but notable strip, Hank, which began 30 April 1945 in the New York newspaper PM. The story of a disabled GI returning to civilian life, Hank had a unique look due to Waugh's decorative art style, combined with dialogue lettered in upper and lower case rather than the accepted convention of all upper case lettering in balloons and captions. Some balloons were done with white lettering in black balloons. The uniqueness of Hank continued below its surface, as Waugh sought to raise questions about the reasons for war, and how it might be prevented by the next generation. Waugh discontinued it at the very end of 1945 due to eyestrain.

Books

Waugh's 1947 survey, The Comics, was the first comprehensive history and analysis of comic strips. The book was reviewed in 1948 as fulfilling "the need for a thoroughgoing study of this flourishing branch of popular literature". Waugh also wrote a series of instructional books, including two on painting with palette knives, and he was the editor during the 1940s and 1950s of the textbooks used in the home study course of Art Instruction, Inc. His other books include Space Answer Book (1972) and Fish and Underwater Life.

During the 1930s and 1940s, Waugh's studio was in suburban Newburgh, New York. He was also a teacher at Orange County Community College in Newburgh, and was curator of the Storm King Art Center in Mountainville, New York. His works are held in the collections of museums in Ohio, New York and Iowa. His papers are held at the Syracuse University and the Archives of American Art.

Death
Waugh died at his home in Newburgh on May 23, 1973. He and his wife had a son and a daughter.

La Sagra is a region in central Spain lying between the cities of Madrid and Toledo. In a wider sense, it includes municipalities belonging to both the south of the Community of Madrid and the north of the province of Toledo. In a more restricted sense, concerning the municipalities in Castilla−La Mancha, the Toledan Sagra includes municipalities in the right (north) bank of the Tagus up to the northern provincial border with the Madrid region, whilst its Western limits are moot.

The placename comes from the Arabic Al-Saqra, 'cultivated field'.

Extending across roughly 1,100 km2, the Toledan Sagra features a generally flat landscape.

In the 21st-century, the area has experienced robust demographic growth and a boom of logistics.

The Davis family is an Irish American and British American family, prominent in American politics and government. Their political involvement has revolved around the Whig Party, the Federalist Party, and the Republican Party. Harvard and Yale educations have been frequent among them, and most had gone further on to law school. Some were in clubs at these schools such as the Fox Club at Harvard and has one of the founding members of the Skull and Dagger secret society at Yale and Harvard.

He was three times in the Massachusetts House of Representatives, and was a state senator of Plymouth County, Massachusetts. Davis was President George Washington's Comptroller of the Treasury of the United States, and Washington then appointed him the United States Attorney for the district of Massachusetts. He was President John Adams' appointed judge of the United States district court for the district of Massachusetts. His probable most noted achievement was his wise handling of the law in regards to commercial mercantile embarrassment of New England at the time of an embargo and the War of 1812 which instilled the community's confidence in the law. He served as president of the Massachusetts Historical Society (1818–1835) and was said to be the first person to refer to the Plymouth colonists as pilgrims in his ode to an anniversary celebration in 1794. He was a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences as well as the treasurer (1810) and member of the board of overseers (1827–1836).

A different John Davis (1787–1854) was Governor of Massachusetts, United States Senator of Massachusetts, and United States Representative of Massachusetts. Elizabeth Davis Bliss was John Davis's sister who married George Bancroft (1800–1891), who was an American historian, statesman, and who as the U.S. Secretary of the Navy, he established the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, and was a U.S. Minister to Britain. His father was Aaron Bancroft (1755–1839) who was an American clergyman, pastor, minuteman, and president of the American Unitarian Association.

He was also the ninth reporter of decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court. His brother, Horace Davis (1831–1916), was a United States Representative from California, an American author, and president of the University of California, Berkeley.

Another great-great-grandson of Governor John Davis is John Davis Lodge (1903–1985), a Governor of Connecticut, an actor, and a U.S. Ambassador to Spain, Argentina and Switzerland. His brother, Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. (1902–1985) was a United States Senator from Massachusetts, a U.S. ambassador at large, to the United Nations, South Vietnam (twice), West Germany, and a candidate for Vice President of the United States.

These two brothers' uncle was Augustus Peabody Gardner (1865–1918), who was a United States Representative from Massachusetts, captain and assistant adjutant general on the staff of General James Wilson during the Spanish–American War, chairman of the Committee on Industrial Arts and Expositions in Congress, and he was colonel in the Adjutant General's Department, and a United States Infantryman, with rank of major. Their grandfather was Henry Cabot Lodge (1850–1924) who was a United States Senator from Massachusetts, United States Representative of Massachusetts, president pro tempore of the United States Senate, historian, Dean of the United States Senate, chairman of the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, and first Senator majority leader.
Their great-grandfather was Admiral Charles Henry Davis (1807–1877), who was the Superintendent of the United States Naval Observatory, and a board member of the Lighthouse Board and the Naval Observatory in his retirement. Their great-great grandfather was Elijah Hunt Mills (1776–1829), a United States Senior Senator from Massachusetts, and United States Representative of Massachusetts. And their great-great-grandfather was George Cabot (1752–1823), was an American merchant, seaman, he was a United States Senator from Massachusetts, the Presiding Officer of the Hartford Convention, he was a member of the Massachusetts Provincial Congress in 1775, a delegate to the state constitutional convention in 1777, a delegate to the state convention that adopted the United States Constitution in 1787, he was elected (as "Pro-Administration") to the United States Senate (1791–1796), and when he resigned he was appointed to but declined to be the first United States Secretary of the Navy in 1798.

Unrelated to the political careers in this family, John Davis Lodge and Henry Cabot Lodge Jr.'s father was the American poet George Cabot Lodge (1873–1909), who was married to Mathilda Elizabeth Frelinghuysen (Davis) Lodge. Henry Cabot Lodge's wife was Anna Cabot Mills Davis, whose maternal aunt was married to Benjamin Peirce (1809–1880), an American mathematician who taught at Harvard University for forty years, instrumental in the development of Harvard's science curriculum, director of the U.S. Coast Survey, and made contributions to celestial mechanics, number theory, algebra, and the philosophy of mathematics.  Benjamin's son was Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914), chemist, logician, mathematician, physicist, and acknowledged as the founder of the pragmatic movement in philosophy.

Henry Cabot Lodge Jr.'s son is George C. Lodge (born 1927), who is the Jaime and Josefina Chua Tiampo Professor of Business Administration, Emeritus, at Harvard Business School. Lodge was a top official at the United States Department of Labor, and was a candidate for the United States Senate for Massachusetts, but lost to Edward Kennedy.

Violette's Daring Adventure () is the sixth book in the Beechwood Bunny Tales series. It was originally published by France's Éditions Milan in 1991, and in the United States by Gareth Stevens a year later. The book was awarded the Soleils d'Or at 1991's BD Festival.

In the book, Violette Bellflower and her brother Periwinkle leave their Beechwood Grove home and decide to play at a faraway pond, although their family thinks it is too dangerous. There, they meet a boy in strange clothes who plays an enticing harmonica tune, and tricks them into being invited for cookies.

Periwinkle jigs into joy after hearing this, but Violette informs him that the boy, Jimmy Renard, is actually a fox. She tells him that they should escape into the Big Passage, a secret complex tunnel that Beechwood's residents use for emergencies. But several of Renard's henchmen stop the bunnies' plan, and catch Periwinkle for their own dinner.

Hearing this, Violette feels that her cleverness has failed, and at the foxes' burrow, she rescues her brother in an instant and heads into the Passage. The enemies go after the rabbits, only to be stopped by the collapse of stones Violette and Periwinkle shower on top of them.

Both bunnies reach home safely, and tell Papa Bramble what happened. He feels angry, yet sees how brave they have been. Eventually, the two siblings snooze off at the dinner table, and soon have nightmares about their adventure. After Bramble reminds them what they went through, he goes off to sleep, saying: "It seems the children haven't told me the entire story."
